1001 Albums Summary

Lowkey vibes, great for rainy Saturday afternoon. Highlight tracks were “Remember”, “Ce matin-là”.

Unexpectedly loved this. Not a huge hip-hop listener (mostly just lack of knowledge more than anything). I lived in Chicago when Chance the Rapper’s “Coloring Book” came out in 2016, and the album felt like it was everywhere. I knew Kanye was a key collaborator, but it was even cooler to listen to this album and here the original ideas that came to later influence Chance—the melodic qualities, chipmunk-y sound, etc. Listening brought me back home to Chicago.

90s must have been a weird time to be British.

Duality: I can both appreciate Buddy Holly and his significant role in the evolution of modern popular music, and also hate listening to this album.

First time I’ve ever intentionally hit the play button on a metal album. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Some of the drum breaks were cool (like in Rat Salad). My college roommate used to listen to heavy metal while he straightened his hair in the mornings. So I guess at least this brought back a memory?

Loved it, so many bops. Mama Said is a fav.

Janis is a kween that VOICE 💦

What a vibe 5/5 will be listening again

Deez nuts 5/5

This one is a big ol’ snooze festival, though the energy did pick up as the album progressed. There’s something very lonely about the sound of this music that I don’t enjoy? I would have to be in a highly specific mood.

Straight bangers 5/5

If you’re asleep this album is gonna wake you up!!!

Bored to tears

Incredible voice, loved this!

Like Shostakovich but with vocals, what a strange and fun listen.

Very David Byrne/Talking Heads. Great listen.

That’s jazz baby

Cool voice, not my jam
