13/1001 - The Jimi Hendrix Experience is definitely the Ocarina of Time of psychedelic rock. Both revolutionized the landscapes they were a part of and also Jimi and Link are both left-handed. Great improvisations, catchy melodies.
1/1001 - Mildly enjoyed it. Nothing super memorable.
2/1001 - Not a fan of Hetfield's voice or Metal in general. Can cut 30 seconds off the start of many songs without losing coherence. However, the Enter Sandman riff is cool and the music is overall well produced/competently made. Solos are alright.
3/1001 - Voice is very nice, not a fan of the lip smacking though. The yelling on the final song at the end was bizarre. Other than that, very nice guitar playing with tasteful orchestration sketches throughout. Overall an enjoyable experience.
4/1001 The start of the loudness wars. It's alright. It was refreshing when Noel sang one of the songs instead of Liam.
5/1001 An enjoyable experience! It seemed a tad-bit samey with some of the songs having a similar drumbeat and tempo. On the other hand, "Money" is stuck in my head! What a catchy bassline.
6/1001 - Biggie's rapping is right in the pocket. The skits seemed unessecary, the album would have worked with just the songs. A lot of the instrumentals were nice too. (One of them switched tunings a lot of the time for some reason).
7/1001 - The instrumentals were better than the repetitive vocal songs. "Two Hearts in 3/4 Time" was in 6/8 time. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would!
8/1001 - Instrumentals are alright but the screaming/moaning vocals are annoying.
9/1001 - Byrd's guitar playing is really creative and compliments the other instruments well. Not a fan of Getz's sound (way too much subtone, almost like a classical saxophone player!). Overall a cool introduction of Bossa Nova to U.S. audiences.
10/1001 - The acoustic songs work better than the electric ones (the fuzz guitar stands out in a bad way). Tracks are very inconsistent (instrumentation-wise amd quality-wise) which makes sense given the tension and isolation of the band members throughout recording this. It's okay overall.
11/1001 - The rhythms, textures, and riffs are homogenous and could be more interesting throughout with more variation instead of relying on background woosh effects.
12/1001 - It feels like most film music to me: the vocals are the most important thing (Beyoncé has good technique) and all of the other surrounding instruments have to have no rhythmic activity (or repeat the beat with barely any variation). Some songs were more interesting to me "Haunted", "No Angel", and "Blue".
13/1001 - The Jimi Hendrix Experience is definitely the Ocarina of Time of psychedelic rock. Both revolutionized the landscapes they were a part of and also Jimi and Link are both left-handed. Great improvisations, catchy melodies.
14/1001 - Sounds like this band would've been fun to see live. Voices sound a bit weird, but it kinda works! Backing instruments are solid.
15/1001 - Not my style of music for sure but the guitar playing is good (voice is not since it keeps the same quality for the entire record). It makes sense why it was influential.
16/1001 - The jazz music is cool. His voice timbre is too strange for me. Unsure if I'm looking forward to 8 more albums of Bowie.
17/1001 - Skits/intro "shop-talk" were unessecary. Background improvisations/comping sounded great. Seems like a good reference for writing country music. Much better in two different listening sessions with Disc 1 and Disc 2, still too long.
18/1001 - I wish there weren't any strings. The parts would sound much better on electric guitar or piano (maybe electric piano too.) Once there are too many classical musicians in the room, it gets hard to do "feel" based music like soul or rock and the rhythm of the song suffers. Other than that, the harmonies are really cool combined with Springfield's smooth voice.
19/1001 - Voice is too high and has a weird effect on it that is quite grating. Instrumentals are alright (technically very proficient).
20/1001 - I liked this more than I thought I would. Chromatic riffs were cool and the backing instrumentals had a great sense pocket. Wasn't a fan of the sex moans/noises or the lower backing vocal.
21/1001 - Improved as it went on. Kind of reminded me of Eric Whitacre choral pieces, swap the voices with distorted guitar. Drumming is very simplistic/same-y. I don't get the appeal but I also don't dislike it.
22/1001 - Fun and catchy. It would be nice if songs had B sections/more variation instead of pretty much removing or adding parts. Voice is good and some effects were cool to hear.
23/1001 - I like the guitar fills. Normally I do not like redundancy too much, but I think it's done well here due to the variation in comping and "microshifts" inbetween the various phrases. I don't listen to reggae much so it was really interesting to listen to, especially with it's non-standard drum patterns (backbeat is in a different place).
