Day 1:
Very solid start to this journey. Incredibly solid production and sound quality meant it was a joy to listen through all the way through, and I had no urge to skip on any of the tracks. Although a few tracks stood out positively, nothing blew me away or overwhelmed me though. Overall enjoyed more than anticipated as this isn't a genre of music I have much experience with.
Fav tracks: Hand in My Pocket / Ironic
Bad tracks: N/A

Day 0002/1001 of One Album a Day
Was not moved by the opening track unfortunately. Maybe if I was either tripping or played the guitar (or both) I would have appreciated it more. Apparently its one of the greatest bits of guitar work of all time so a shame to not have enjoyed it. The rest of the album was great however, phenomenal production quality and some very catchy guitar riffs and drumming and whatnot.
Fav tracks: Super Stupid / You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks / Hit It and Quit It

Day 0003/1001 of One Album a Day
Adore the first half of this but after that it starts to drag on for me personally. Firestarter does manage to provide an element of reinvigoration to the latter half of this but I found myself bored with some of the tracks towards the end of this. Still, solid album overall and not hard to see why its so iconic.
Fav tracks: Smack My Bitch Up / Breath / Diesel Power / Climbatize

Day 0004/1001 of One Album a Day
My favourite songs from this album will always have a special place in my heart as I have loved them since I was a child, but I have to say the rest of the album was quite dissapointing and forgettable. Also have no idea why some of the tracks are as long as they are, they drag on and the album as a whole really started to bore me in its latter stages. I like though how if you search this album into Reddit to top posts are all talking about how the fat obese smoker on the cover is unidentified to this day as opposed to any reviews of the album itself lol
Fav tracks: Right Here, Right Now / The Rockafeller Skank / Gangster Trippin' / Praise You
Bad tracks: Kalifornia / Acid 8000

The song with Paul McCartney is shite but other than its a phenomenal selection of tracks. Beat It remains one of my favourite songs of all time.

A very relaxing and calmfull listen. Have to say I'm not particularly familiar with the genre of Spiritual Afro-Islamic Soul but was pleasantly suprised by this. Will definately be listening to this whilst working/studying in the future.
Hard to pinpoint any favourite/least favourite tracks as the whole album flows in an incredibly seamless way.

I enjoyed this more than I was expecting too as a) I've never been a huge fan of the genre (hopefully this changes as I listen to more albums from it) and b) the mediocre scores on here.
Fav tracks: Sunshinin / Homesick / Get Free
Worst tracks: Country Yard / Factory

Unique and interesting concept but even with consideration of the fact this music supposed to resemble a film score, it's not anything particularly special in my opinion. Some nice little moments but underwhelmed overall
