1001 Albums Summary

Play by Moby

Could have been the same 3 songs on repeat. Some overstayed their welcome first time through. Dull and uninspiring. Natural Blues one of the few highlights but it's reliant on an interesting sample.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

Smooth. Runs a little long but lots of experimental samples/beats keep it interesting. Struggled to focus on work while listening, just kept being distracted by the music. Not all experiments work though. Would've been stronger if a couple of songs got cut. Rating is mostly a weakness of 1-5.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones

Its mostly alright but spiced with one very good song.
