Dizzee Rascal
1/5
I'm not sure if this is supposed to pass for music, as to me this sounded more like a terrible audiobook or radio drama. That is, if one can understand what they are saying at least because I couldn't understand more than half of it. I would rather I heard this after I was dead.

If the people who invented and created recording equipment knew it was going to be (mis)used this way they would have never gone through with it. I hope they called it funeral to celebrate the end of their musical career because they realized they should have never even begun to try and make any music.

As I'm writing this I'm praying to Chronos, the God of Time, to make it so the 80's never happened, so that neither would this album, or any albums like this one. Unfortunately that would also mean I'd never have been born, but as much as I love my life such is the sacrifice I'd be willing to make to spare people's ears from these horrible kakophonias.

If this list was called 1001 of the most average albums you've ever heard in your life, I would have given it three stars. But it's not so I can't give this more than 2 stars. Absolutely nobody misses out on anything if they don't hear this album before they die. I don't know who makes these lists but they have an objectively bad taste. It reminds me of the Indians who out of national pride vote 10 out of 10 stars on every shitty Bollywood movie they can find on IMDB. Who wants to hear some guy blabber on about some basketball town? There's a million different albums I can think of which would actually be worth listening to before you die, which would never appear on a list like this. Loads of classical, current day jazz, yes even a lot of lesser known shoegaze albums are better than this crap. Go listen to some Saint-Saens violin concertos and avoid this album.
