1001 Albums Summary

The shift from their rockier sound is far more palatable now as it was back then.

Unfortunately tracks 1,9 and 10 cannot carry the dross of the what comes inbetween . Stick to their greatest hits!

Solid Album. Lots of catchy melodies, witty lyrical content. Very few fillers. Loved it

Another album where the classic pop hits shine and the rest goes in the instantly forgettable bin

Soul is not my preferred genre so found this a rather dull listen. 2 stars

Distinctive sound and loads of tracks, but nothing grabbing me and telling me to listen to it over and over. Sadly forgettable.

Crap

Utter crap

A Billy Basic Plucker. Lucky the majority is in a foreign language as his lyrical content in English was embarrassing. Bashing out big bollock bongo around town. Wanker

Part of the furniture

Sit back and relax to the sounds of some authentic Cuban plucking.

Interesting German prog rock. 2.5 stars for me if they did halves. Nice experimentation but lacks flow and maybe a little dated now.

One great hit , the rest was rather dull

Vocally not at her best but pleasant enough. Good lyrical content

Jazzy but bored after 5 minutes. One star 🌟

Bringing a breath of fresh air to the hip Hop genre. It cuts like a knife, raw and edgy. Bringing the martial arts film samples and creating a cult was a masterpiece

First ever listen to this one, and I enjoyed the ride

One hit wonder, rest is shit

Gash

2.5 ethereal but samey and the high pitch voice grinds over time

The hits are huge, but I tire of her style quickly over the album. Too many fillers

3 stars. Some hidden gems. The complete sessions is miles better though (4 stars for the that one)

Had high hope la but unfortunately I was bored rigid. Did find him funny and his voice was too grinding after 3 tracks

Simply beautiful

2. One big track, the rest fillers

2.5 atmospheric

Somewhat dated now, and hip hop lyrics improved massively over the decades but a couple of hits have stood the test of time

A timeless classic

Wishy washy pap

Singles are huge, the rest is just dull and uninspiring

This was okay. Probably could have been two albums

Noise

3 stars. One very imbalanced album. Without you followed by coconut! What a hand break turn

Not for me. Sorry

First ever listen. This was largely enjoyable. Slight criticism is that the rapping sounds weak and outdated.

2.5 stars. Chilled out vibes. No classic standing out though.

Dreadful

Plenty of stand out tracks on offer here 💪

Nice experimentation

Never used to be a fan when growing up. However, I admit it must have been quite eclectic for its time. A generous 4 stars

5 star. Classic hip hop
