She has a great voice; there is no disputing that. But the majority of songs by her that I know are obsessive, stalker-like songs. "I keep calling hundreds of times to tell you I'm sorry, but you never pick up the phone!" Girl, get a clue. "Hey, I know you're married now, but I'll never find someone like you - not trying to ruin your relationship or anything, tee hee." Again, girl, tone it down. The non-stalker songs on this album were boring and similar-sounding. You're 25; stop wishing you were young again and move on with your life.

I like rap music. I appreciate the genre, the lyrics, and the message. But this one... this was rough for me. The beats are great, and Snoop has the kind of flow that I'm here for. But given the state of the US today, this really sounded like the conservative narrative about why non-whites don't deserve to be treated like humans. So much commentary about murder, looting, sexual assault... and maybe it has a deeper meaning for the culture (of which I am not a part) beyond the way it sounds. Maybe that's the point; it's relevant to those who live it and just a banger for those who don't. It's certainly not something that I would feel comfortable singing along to, although I did listen to it at work. (I'm a rebel.) Enjoyable, yes, but it was difficult too.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Having really only heard one song by him, this was an interesting mix of styles.

I ended up listening to a 30 song version of this album, which was about 15 songs too long. Their rendition of "(Love is Like a) Heat Wave" was terrible. I can't distinguish between the British invasion bands anymore because they all sound the same. Still, not the worst thing I've listened to of the list.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

3/5

Unoffensive and boring, perfect for elevators and offices. +1 for the album cover though.

Timeless

Goldie

4/5

To me, who listens to the 1001 albums while working, this is the best kind of focus music. It keeps me on task while providing a beat that makes me bob my head. Definitely my style but I totally get the bad reviews. It's looooong.

I already knew and enjoyed Michael Franti's music, but I honestly had never heard of this group. Wow. There's some powerful imagery and heavy lyrics to get through, but I loved it. Spotify is missing 4 tracks, as is Apple Music (I believe), but the ones that are available are definitely worth a listen.
