1001 Albums Summary

It’s all about the riffs. Goosebumps on the build up.

Explicit. But the beats hit and Biggie flows the way my mind wants to go.

No idea how many hits I’d be diggin on this album. Everything screams hair and rock opera. Bass and electric dominate my attention.

Hard not to jump around and see big along. Samples on point. Young Rick Rubin at his finest.

Chill rhythms and raw lyrics makes this more accessible than current hip hop albums.

Pioneers of grunge? Contextually I can see how they could hit hard. I wish I were into grunge…

The power of blues with a punk rock overlay is striking and attractive. The guitar trails seemingly have no direction which only adds the hypnotizing effect.

The blues and the rhythms keep me wanting more. I think haters dislike Elvis because he sounds like an impression but they don’t realize he’s the OG. He invented his style. Classic album.

If this isn’t the soundtrack of every melancholy teenager I don’t know what is. What’s endearing and accessible is the fragility of the vocals.

The maturity of lyrics and toe-tapping rhythms make this a top album of Adele. Curious to see how we look back at her career and influence in the future.

His technical ability is crazy. Absurd topics and edginess gets the attention it deserves but hard to overlook the power and grit in his vocals.

I actually enjoyed this much more than I thought. Not being familiar with Newsoms work gave me an open mind to the pleasingly endless journey her poems and strings took me on.

So many hits. But a clear definition of a style that defines how you remember Dylan in his prime.
