1001 Albums Summary

How somebody can be struggling with drug addiction and write an album this good is truly remarkable. All six of these songs are fantastic but if I had to choose a favourite it would be Wild is the Wind. You can hear the pure emotion in Bowie's voice as he delivers one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard, it feels so real and so chilling yet so good at the same time. Amazing album 10/10

I have mixed feelings about this album there is some ugly sounds which I really dislike especially in Backseat Freestyle but on the other hand there are strange sounds that really work like in the song m.A.A.d city, which is by far the best song on this album where somehow the strange sounds make the song even better. I have songs I don’t like on this album, but also songs I really enjoy. The highlights of this album for me are, B***h Don’t Kill My Vibe, Poetic Justice, m.A.A.d city, Swimming Pools (Drank) and Compton. In total I liked 7 out of 14 songs on this album but the songs I did like I really liked. I can’t give an album that has Swimming Pools (Drank) and m.A.A.d city on it anything less than a 7/10.

For me this album isn’t anything special. Kids is really the only song that I really like off this album but I knew that going into it. Time to Pretend and Electric Feel or both okay songs. The rest of the album is kind of meh though to be honest. I’ll give this a 6/10.
