1001 Albums Summary

Usually not very into singer/songwriter albums, but this was very very enjoyable. I loved the poetic style of the lyrics, artistic and evocative without coming across as cliche or tired. I was touched by the relationship between love and grief reflected in the lyrics; this album does a lot with a little.

Incredible album, so much influence on my favorite artists, makes me feel like I was around for 90’s rave culture despite having been 2 years old when the album was released. The grimy aesthetic and sampling are just classic in every way. No sense wondering why the late 90’s were full of imitators of the Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy, the energy they were embodying was undeniable.
