1001 Albums Summary

Has every rapper complained about the "shit" music that's playing now a days? This truly plays like a conversation. One Love has a xylophone? Its not out of place but why is it there? Represent is the bests so far and was placed second to last.

The voice fits the genre perfectly. This is the guy with the guitar that sings about the troubled of the world. Yet he gets you. His song pulls you in and next thing you know you understand what he's talking about. The album is vey mystical.

Love the rhythm. Very angsty teenage tone. I didn't check what year this was released. Once I heard track 2 I immediately said "oh this is from the 80's" Lo and behold 1981. Very much enjoy the rhythm more than the lyrics but that wont stop me from singing along. I am not saying I am going to do this, but if I need to dispose of a body I am bumping Nigh Shift non stop. After Night Shift the album picks up a lot. The lyrics and angst is stronger and deeper. There has to be a reason why they placed these tracks om the middle of the album but for me they belong at the top. Amazing and something you can really slow rock to.

This is going to be incredibly biased. My love and admiration for Cash is large. On his final album you feel and hear his distinguished sound while also getting a glimpse of his previous life. An old school rockstar in his final years.

I'm all for grungy, nonconformity music, but this was not it. Some of the songs were not half bad but the spoken word songs were not it.
