1001 Albums Summary

Undeniably a classic. I still prefer Exodus but it was great to revisit some deeper cuts I haven’t listened to in a bit. It also has the full extended version of my favorite Marley tune “Stir it Up” with Tosh’s kind-of awful but great guitar solo!

This album is like Bruce Springsteen and Queen called up Elton John and were like “we are going to channel the most excessive and indulgent qualities that we have as songwriters and composers and ignore all the subtleties that make our most ridiculous songs still work.” Elton asks what the concept will be for this album and they respond, in unison, “it’s like Peter Pan, but the dude drives a motorcycle and there are werewolves.” In other words, it’s an absurd album that is a lot of fun
