The World Should Know is a studio album by the Jamaican reggae singer Burning Spear, released in 1993.

[4] Burning Spear supported the album with a North American tour.

[6] Newsday noted that "the roots of Spear's heavily rhythmic and deeply spiritual music lie in the insistent patterns of Jamaica's Nyabinghi drummers, which Spear's Burning Band translates into solid drumming and playfully ornamental percussion.

"[11] The Gazette deemed the album "embarrassingly short on substance and originality.

"[12] The Los Angeles Times wrote: "This consummately crafted collection features taut, muscular riddims, contemporary keyboard swirls and strong, jazzy horn lines behind Spear's inimitable village-elder voice delivering love songs and his perennial theme of personal identity.
