1001 Albums Summary

Fun nostalgia trip to the 90s. I don't understand why 'Perfect' was allowed onto the album. Flat wailing over a naked track ruins a perfectly good vibe up to that point. Plenty of hits make up for it though. A strong 6/10 for me. Without 'perfect' and 'forgiven' it would have crept to a 7/10.

I liked it. I give it 3* because I probably won't choose to put it on, if somebody was listening to it though I'd happily leave it on. They're obviously decent at writing I enjoyed the layers to their songs it's just preference more than anything. Just didn't grab me as an album but wasn't bad by any means.

Beginning was meh, middle had some decent songs then I lost interest towards the end again. It may have been a better effort at the time, there was depth to some of their songs but it weren't for me. 2*

A Classic. Changed the landscape of music and inspired my more favoured hip hop albums. Really good album, I just don't get as much out of it as my top hip hop albums so just misses out on 5*

Really enjoyed this one, for all its cheesy hooks, big choruses, guitar riffs. Solid album in this genre.

This bored me, for me it's at best an average entry for this genre. It's not a terrible album by any means but it gave me nothing. Also there are too many albums of this genre I'd rather listen to that would probably be 3* so it gets 2* from me.

Some decent tracks on there other than the hits but I was largely bored for the rest of it. I can see its appeal within the genre but it didn't offer me much though I wouldn't begrudge somebody else putting it on to listen to. Also too many interludes.

A bit disappointed I thought I'd enjoy this more. Songs aren't strong enough to justify the length of the album. There are a few tracks I enjoyed outside of Tusk but that for me is the standout song. By the time you get to it though I could see why people might not be bothered at that point. 2*

First 2 songs were OK, the rest of the album went downhill and lost my interest.

Enjoyed a couple of the more silly tracks but aside from that I lost interest. He's a decent enough singer but his tone was pretty average. I wouldn't choose listen to the album as a whole again. Couple of the tracks I would though for funsies. 2*

Better than I expected but got bored quite quickly. Some nice musicianship too but not being able to keep me entertained with only 9 songs is a weak effort. 2*
