1001 Albums Summary

Longview, Basket Case, and When I Come Around are top three. The album as a whole is really repetitive with a calm ending of All by Myself which was a nice change of pace.

Limelight is the personal favorite out of the album, the songs have a solid continuous sound with a distinct and memorable singer. 23/30

Very grungy, high distortion guitar and vocals. Scentless Apprentice being one of the most egregious offenders, being particularly warped near the end. The song 'Rape Me' was particularly uncomfortable and I didn't feel as though it was sonically unique or profound enough to illicit such gross lyrics. I liked 'All Apologies' though.

Mellow songs, catchy vocals and crisp tones. Definitely stands out as a distinctive and enjoyable album.

Groovy, upbeat music that literally screams "the 80s". Fun lyrics and good sounds for background work. Definitely gives the feeling of doing too much too young.

Unique vocals, distorted shoegaze tones and artistically liberated cover art. Surprising it was released 1988, as it sounds strikingly similar to something that would be recently dropped from the genre. Sonic Youth was ahead of the game.

Smooth flows, enjoyable lyrics, and nostalgic sounds. I’ve not listened to a lot of JayZ before but the music was still enjoyable.

Not entirely my type of music, but an enjoyable listen nonetheless. Smooth vocals and nice guitar.

Clean guitar tones, nice vocals and interesting lyrics. Not entirely my type of music but enjoyable still.
