1001 Albums Summary

I can appreciate the realness of the narrative of this album. I love the spiritual theme that rides along with the harsh realities of Compton life. The only song I didn’t really like originally was the freestyle, but it fits its purpose. Right now, without having heard much rap, I would say 4.0.

Had some cool ideas, loved at least two tracks, but at some point started to blend. Did not expect him to speak Spanish, that was awesome.

Side A nearly perfect, didn’t care too much for battle of evermore for some reason. Side B was cool with one too many blues but still great. A monument of rock.

I have to say, I am looking forward to giving this one a full listen again later on. A great depiction of African American culture in the 70s with some heavy hitters and jams.

Two years before Johnny B. Goode. That’s all I gotta say.

I loved the music, the beat, a couple of solid bangers like is it live and walk this way, but some of the lyrics are just too cheese.

Old school Americana at its best. Awesome record

Didn’t care for the first half, as it played on all of the cliches of that era’s Rock. The second half was solid. Not incredible, but it was really cool to see this kind of unique album.

While I do like the instrumentals, I cannot listen to that voice for more than 20 minutes. Did not finish.

Only one song on here that I wasn’t particularly fond of. The lyrics while pretty basic for its time comes second to its instrumentation and Tim Buckley’s vocals. Was not expecting this.

Fine. First four or so songs he sounds too much like the Beatles. Was better when he sang in the lower register. Pretty standard indie rock sound, but I’m new to britpop.
