The Chronic
Dr. Dre

The jams are good. The driving bass, and basslines, and electronic piano-like melodies are all really nice to listen to. This is Snoop in his element, which I don't think I've heard before - it's good. It's good music to work to - there's nothing distracting about the songs, there's no noise, every instrument has a place. Disc spinning is great - basically I've only heard it before on Tony Hawk game soundtracks lol (there's definitely some nostalgia tied to this sound because of Tony Hawk games). The language is "mature" in the sense that it has the explicit label, but since it's genuine (and feels that way) I think it's awesome that there is music that I imagine sounds like the way people talk in real life. There's a lot of talking in the album, which I wonder if that was new or not - seems like it fits the overall vibe of the album.
