1001 Albums Summary

One of the classic great Metal albums, and I've heard it many times before. Though listening this time, several years after the first, I now see the blues influences better. The same kind of driving bass and simple melodies that would go on and become the basis for Funk and Disco. Neat stuff that.

Fantastic by almost all accounts. The album is quite long and does begin to drag after "As" and the synths used throughout are a bit dated. However, the hits can't possibly be denied. I mean, Sir Duke... It's Sir Duke.

Interesting, though mostly forgettable. Instrumental Jazz just kind of works like that though. It's pleasant and inoffensive to listen too, but it very rarely will leave me with a lasting imprint after the fact.

A very well produced pop/soul thing that works in most aspects, but like 50% of the album is pretty forgettable.

Absolute Bops with absolutely terrible lyrics
