1001 Albums Summary

Lauryn Hill was one of the first concerts I went to independently as a teenager, and I found energy and life in this album that I couldn't find anywhere else. The phrase "Consequence is no coincidence" from Lost Ones has become a mantra for me throughout my life as an inspiration to continually show up and be an active participant in my own life, and to be an advocate for myself. I think she was truly one of the great voices of the 90's, and although its sad her personal choices have kind of marred her reputation as an artist now, this album will always stand out to me as one of the greats. 10/10

Not for me, because I’m not a 15 year old misogynistic, homophobic incel who thinks owning a thesaurus makes you clever. What a disgusting joke of an album.
