1001 Albums Summary

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis

Oh my gosh the length! Listening one side at a time haha. (Not true actually, the album is engaging and ended up marathoning it.) In The Cage kicks ass. Also enjoyed Hairless Heart and Counting Out Time. And an incredible closer in "It". Story is wild, but would have to relisten to fully appreciate.

The Blueprint by JAY Z

Renegade was the best track by far. A lot of the lyrics fall flat here, and the production is boring.

Young Americans by David Bowie

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs by Marty Robbins

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen

All pretty enjoyable to listen to, but "Prove It Through the Night" and the title track kick ass. Wonderful ending. 3.75

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus

Killing Joke by Killing Joke

Deserving of a Relisten after learning more about punk and "post punk"

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics

Every tune was grooving with a great rhythm. Really noticing the synthetic drums and very inspired by them.

Elephant by The White Stripes

Surprise! Blues album! Never thought about it but really enjoyed it.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré

While it all sounded pleasant, nothing really caught my ear.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys

The Grand Tour by George Jones

Not for me, and didn't really enjoy. Fine singing and guitar playing for those who do though, and can hear how it's important.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

Some of the tracks were a bit long, but just fantastic music.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott

On The Beach by Neil Young

Live At The Witch Trials by The Fall

Very forgettable but also with a poor mix that was a little painful to listen to at times.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra

Great representation of the Basie sound with some killer solos from Lockjaw Davis. But honestly this one was probably picked for the sick album art.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz

Fantastic from start to finish.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Tago Mago by Can

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band

Marquee Moon by Television

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

I was initially put off by the title track but the rest of the album is wonderful. The repetitive lyrics sometimes work and sometimes don't but I appreciate the style.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

After hearing about the Velvet Underground for years and never listening, this was extremely disappointing as a first album. Murder Mystery was the best track by far and the only reason this isn't a 2.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish

The Yes Album by Yes

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits

Some nice B3 playing.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D

Queen II by Queen

Horses by Patti Smith

London Calling by The Clash

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney

When I Was Born For The 7th Time by Cornershop

Achtung Baby by U2

Truth And Soul by Fishbone

Follow The Leader by Korn

Some of the drum and guitar grooves are an interesting skeleton, but then everything on top seems designed to sound as irritating as possible (singer, lead guitar tones, random extra noise). Somehow this is the worst thing Ice Cube has ever been part of, even counting Amazon's War of the Worlds.

Nice string arrangements cannot justify the absolutely repulsive concept of this record. Even the album cover is borderline CSAM. Anyone who enjoys this record should be placed on a watchlist honestly...
