1001 Albums Summary

Atmospheric and interesting. Heavy on the electronics

A visceral thrill ride. The antithesis of, and antidote for, the George Harrison album that preceded it, which had the instrumental proficiency, melodies production, technical elements and polish but was, to me, fundamentally inert. Raw Power is all rough edges and jettisoning of technical elements in favor of energy and propulsiveness. Only reason not to give it a 5 is that its only the 3rd album.

This album is the precursor to about 75% of the music I listened to in high school. At the time Sabbath seemed dangerous and transgressive. Now it seems nostalgic and comforting. Like wrapping up in a warm cozy Satanic blanket

How do you bury American Girl as the last track. You have to wade through a lot if meh to get to the one standout.

The record is technically excellent. Great musicianship, arrangements, production. The vocals are smooth and pleasant. Not much emotion or urgency tho, especially with material like Cold Cold Heart and Turn me On

Never heard of this snd it did nothing for me. Maybe there was something profound in the mumbled lyrics that I missed?

The music was eclectic snd interesting. Im definitely not the target audience but never have much use for the swaggering thymes from this era of hip hop
