1001 Albums Summary

The musicians are tight as a group, but I didn't really feel David Bowie on this album.

I really like the songs where Johnny Cash is telling a story. Totally drew me in. His voice is very different on those songs. Some of the covers felt like his energy wasn't behind the words.

I really didn't want to listen to Metallica but am pleasantly surprised they teamed up with The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra for this album! I'm giving it a chance :) I dig the drumming but the guitar and vocals get too dark and intense for me. I'm definitely not a vibrational match for Metallica but loved Ennio Morricone's The Ecstacy of Gold and the SFSO.

I like the groove of this album. The musicians are solid. Not something I would choose to listen to but I'm glad I heard it.
