1001 Albums Summary

I’m a sucker for a good soul voice and the Isley brother definitely delivered. The different funk beats and guitar sections feel a lot like James brown and Jimi Hendrix in the best ways possible. Although at first I was sceptical of the interview sections of the album, I came to really appreciate the artists insight into the music and gave me some better perspective on the music scene at the time. I do think that having part 1 and 2 as well as both on the same track was a bit unnecessary in some cases, however I can see exactly why this album is required listening and greatly influential.

Possibly one of the greatest album intros of all time, really hooked me with the guitar and electronic beats. Overall I’ve never been a huge fan of “fight the power” music but this album definitely changed my mind. The messages are powerful and it’s accompanied by even more powerful sounds and vocals. Everything about this album is awesome and Al so revert song was a joy to listen to.

Really solid album, feels like the Beatles with more acoustics. Hey fe al vocalist was also excellent and honestly the highlight of the album for me. The slower songs really hit hard. Overall I don’t know if I’ll listen to this album a ton because I can just listen to the Beatles, but I had an enjoyable experience

Required listening, essential listening whatever the fuck you wanna call it. This album is not that. I can accept that maybe this is good music, definitely not my cup of tea, but maybe it’s good to someone. But when you say essential I’m thinking that I’m missing out on soemthung if I don’t listen to it. I COULD GET THE SAME EXPERIENCE BY PLAYING GEOMETRY DASH FOR 30 MINUTES. Actually it’d probably be more enjoyable AND I SUCK AT GEOMETRY DASH. If this album was any longer I might’ve just stopped listening. Sure it’s some okay sounds but ESSENTIAL??? Fuck off

There’s probably some profound and deep meaning to these songs but lowkey. Guitar go brrrrr. Seriously some of the coolest shit on guitar. Overall pretty solid

It was aight

Holy moly this is an amazing album. 100% required listening. The vocals, the guitar, the drums. All of it was exceptional and no song on here isn’t one I wouldn’t re listen to.
