Loving everything about this album. Obviously Latin heavy but still blending multiple genres like jazz, samba, blues, cumbia, salsa. There's even a few surf rock sounding songs at the end which I wasn't expecting. The vocals are so soothing. Just a wonderful amalgamation of music & people. 5/5 for me. So happy I discovered this album. This is why I keep coming back to this 1001 albums list. Amazing surprises like this.

JAY Z

5/5

Hov's 2nd best album after reasonable doubt. So many classic songs on here. Rhyming, production, flows, cultural significance. Heart of the City, Song Cry, Never Change top 3 songs. Feel like people's reviews on here are so quick to diminish anything that isn't some 1970s british band. Recent albums I've gotten like this or Buena Vista Social Club (Cuban multigenre) have had unnecessary low ratings. I can't always relate to what the Stones are singing about in the 1960s but I appreciate the music and it takes me to a moment in time. Just because you didnt grow up where Jay did doesn't mean you cant relate to Hip Hop music. Open your mind

Pleasantly surprised by this album. Enjoyed the vocals, lyrics, and production. It almost felt like I was listening to a musical with the lyrics being so vivid and the production by grandiose at times. I dont think I would have found my way to this album without the 1001 albums generator so its albums like this that keep me coming back. Great listen.

These are the kind of albums I come to the generator for. Don't know how I would've made my way to Ministry otherwise. Really enjoyed this type of metal as a non metal listener. Some bangers forsure

I love Jamie XX so much i dont know why i have never given the xx a shot. But I really like this album. IDK why i was sleeping on them as a band.

This is music. I refuse to believe you're not racist if you gave this album less than a 3.

Albums like this get me coming back to this generator. Feel like I need to see the movie now. Really interesting mix of sounds throughout but also felt distinctly Indian at the same time. Great Listen

Yeezus

Kanye West

4/5

Hate to support kanye given his recent antics. But he is iconic and legendary for a reason. I remember when this came out in college and not liking it at all. Wanted the old soulful sounds and this was so abrasive. And I hadn't really gotten into electronic music myself. But years later I keep coming back to this album (pre most recent antics). He delivers some of his best verses over some hard beats. And there are still snippets of the soul sounds throughout the record. Love Yeezus the album hate kanye the person

A Love Supreme

5/5

A love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme. I think I still resonate with Alice Coltrane's music more but I can see why this is an all time classic. Shit bangs

David Holmes

3/5

Had already saved a few of his songs from sundtracks. Specifically oceans 11. Very trippy, cinematic sound. I did enjoy this album as a background work album but didnt feel necessarily groundbreaking. Few standout tracks like Radio 7 and dont die just yet but overall probably a 3. I really enjoyed the mini interviews and samples from NYC people. Im a sucker for NY shit.

Play

Moby

5/5

I thought I knew about PLAY but i didnt really know about PLAY. Other than a few tracks hadnt really given it a listen throw. But is just full of so many bangers across different genres. Downtempo, souful electronic, good ole techno, breakbeats. Really fire album. I think I usually discredit other genres when the albums are too long and just have filler but the length on this makes me like it even more. So much good music throughout the album
