1001 Albums Summary

I’ve never been a fan of Korn. Blame it on my age when they blew up. I was in college and my musical tastes were snobbish to say the least. Listening to this album as I now approach 50 a few things are clear: 1. There are a few bangers (“Freak on a Leash” and “Got the Life” in particular) 2. I still can’t take Jonathan Davis’s vocals when they get that “rat-ta-ya” sort of way. 3. While I appreciate that this album is a classic within the nu-metal genre I still don’t enjoy it in its entirety

The first four tracks on this classic remain one of the strongest starting sequences put to tape. The rest of the tracks are fantastic as well with variations on that swaggering Stones sound.

Better live album than Folsom for the simple fact that “A Boy Named Sue” nearly starts a riot. Cash is in fine voice once again and the backing band brings it.

Fantastic debut album, but not her best — that would be EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE in my opinion.

Along with their self-titled debut released the same year this album defined the genre that would be called heavy metal. This album scared the crap out of me as a kid and continues to thrill me all these decades later.

Like most of Fleetwood Mac this is a fine listen but works best as background music.

Wonderful debut album chock full of 70s AOR gems.

Good but not great

I hate The Doors. Jimbo wasn’t a good poet. Fight me.

A definition of guitar god in physical form. Truly groundbreaking and a defining moment for genres to come just a few years later.

I like all the less popular songs on this but I’m more of a Stones fan
