1001 Albums Summary

Much more bluesy than I was anticipating. Interesting instrumentation throughout. Gimmie Shelter may be my favorite Stones song of all time.

Great album, I was very impressed! Turns out I was familiar with King’s work without knowing specifically who she was. “It’s too Late” and “Natural Woman” are obviously part of the zeitgeist. She’s obviously a very talented songwriter.

Iconic album by one of the great hip hop artists of all time. Jay-z is a talented lyricist with top notch beats and gorgeous productions. Eminem kills his verse on Renegade, classic.

It seems to be an excellent example of the 80s synth-pop sound. But I’m having a hard time trying to differentiate it from any other song in a similar genre that I am familiar with. I won’t go out of my way to listen to it again.

Wow. To be honest it is very difficult to describe this album. There are a couple of songs that are obvious early trip-hop with the “lo-fi beats to chill/study to” vibe. Other tracks are a mix between soft rock and progressive. Like if you combined Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Cranberries. It’s not my favorite album but I can appreciate it for what it is.

Cliche 60’s rock sound. Reminiscent of the Beatles or the Doors. Tons of keyboard!!
