1001 Albums Summary

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

Sounds like typical Black Sabbath. Lots of instrumental sections lend many of the songs to being good for just chilling to. Changes and Wheels of Confusion are the best tracks.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey

As far as musical quality and meaning go, it’s superb. Doesn’t help me get over how jarring it can be to listen to though. Good protest album, not great for easy listening

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Fantastic use as an expose of Hendrix’s guitar style. Good for laying back and listening.

The Score by Fugees

Solid hip-hop album that clearly serves as the foundation for much of today’s rap and hip hop.
