1001 Albums Summary

En-Tact by The Shamen

Nice beats, 80s electronic sound mixed with new wave vocals, kinda cheesy at times, a precursor to a lot of 90s electronic (think EMF “Unbelievable”), NIN-esque, 7.1/10

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5

Rap/hip-hop/latin/reggae Afro-beats/jazz samples - diverse and global sound, very progressive/social justice, 6/10

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash

Classic, live outlaw country record, setlist amazingly executed 10/10

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

Seminal metal album establishing the groundwork for decades to come, pioneering the genre and sound with heavy bass riffs, complex guitar solos, insane drum work, and Ozzy’s metal singing voice, 5/5

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes

Pioneering indie rock album with blues, country, gospel, and rock ‘n’ roll influences among others. 10/10

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

Ocean’s blend of hip-hop, rap, gospel, and indie elements is masterful and groundbreaking. An album destined to be a classic. 10/10

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys

Makes a valiant effort to produce an album for the new decade with sounds that would be common for the 90s. Catchy at times, but at others seems monotonous. 8/10
