My 1001 Albums Journey

Iron Maiden

4/5

I was wrong about this one. Way different than I expected. A nice mix of 60’s and 70’s inspired ballads and some harder songs.

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

3/5

Jazzy beats with light-hearted and often (sometimes too often) goofy lyrics. “Passin’ Me By” and “Ya Mama” are standout tracks. The interludes are automatic skips.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

Interesting, but a little too experimental for my tastes.

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Fun, upbeat prog rock. The songs blend together at times, but are all enjoyable. Great instrumental track (“YYZ”) too.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Complex, rhythmic, and energetic as hell. A great listen, although no track really stands out to me as being too unique or different from the others. Freaking awesome album art for 1988 too.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

2/5

Amy had talent, no doubt, but her style isn’t really my cup of tea.

Among The Living

Anthrax

3/5

I was expecting something more along the lines of Iron Maiden, but this album was more punk than heavy metal.

Dust

Screaming Trees

3/5

Hints of Dinosaur Jr, but without the virtuosic guitar riffs. Not a bad listen, but not all that remarkable either.
