1001 Albums Summary

Guitar heavy album. Reminds me of 2pac and early hip hop stuff, but coming from rock side. Anthony Kiedis’ voice is very carefree. Very expressive in an assured fashion. The guitar (John Frusciante) is the redeeming quality of the album because otherwise the hooks in the songs are pretty weak. The lyrics don’t always make sense and work. He does have a distinct voice. It’s imposing in a good way. In a way I could tell they are inspired by the Smiths in the way the music just carries on in the background and Anthoy just carries on singing on a different wave (Emit Remmus). The bass on this album is also a work of art. The guitar and base have incredible harmony and coordination. The album does flow very quick. Always something happening. The album also shows you where rock music has stagnated right before The Strokes came to change everything. The lyrics are straight up absurd sometimes. Overall I feel like they are trying to get something going but this is ultimately their creative limit in this particular style. Only at about 4 or 5 times in the album does it all click together. yea its weird how even though they have a very workable voice, a great guitar and bass they still cant grab me. californication the highest rated song at 7.5. this is definitely an album to play on backgroun when driving someone around. but its barely even good enough for that.

genre is trip hop. originated in the UK in the 1990s. psychadelic fusion of hip hop and electronic, with many other elements. experimental. black steel was on a good start until Tricky decided to keep repeating the lyrics?? her voice is nice. not too demanding. yeah theres a lot going on with this style. 4 is rap, with mood around it. incomprehensible lyrics throughout the album. Abbaon Fat Tracks with insane sexual and drug lyrics. i can see why some people might be into 8. actually its good. very loud and overwhelming. all over you from start to finish from all angles. not a fan of the frogs. he goes overboard with his outside the box expressions. songs like 9 are really eerie. music and lyrics intertwined. 69 a thing back then. you can feel the drug influence in the album. but it’s disturbing. sure, if thats the point of the album i can see it. but at best case i can never see this album going over 5/10. for me it is lower than that. it just doesn’t consistently work and even when it does it is a short experience that you don’t wana go back to soon. ragga’s voice is really strong and nice. Strugglin is incredible in what it’s trying to do. for a minute you feel like you’re in a basement floating on the edge of consciousness with dark thoughts looming in the background. the laugh at the end of strugglin is haunting. what a song. obvious heroin vibes from velvet underground. given a 3 only because i can see how it can sometimes work and give you what you’re kinda looking for. strugglin is an experience worth reliving. highest rated song Strugglin’ 5/10.

right off great peaceful voice. american pie is a long song but you never feel like you’re waiting for it to end. vincent van gogh song. winterwood is terrible. goes up and down so unexpectedly and weirdly. the album is not what american pie gives it off to be. plenty of slow acoustic songs. but he doesn’t do the best with them. he seems to always miss the catch.

weak version of all what made the 60s great. simple short songs and simple tunes. over and over. male female vocals is what makes them unique. in 66 other bands were experimenting and doing other creative things. these are not. the whole album sounds the same.
