1001 Albums Summary

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera

Awful. Back to basics, yet the most late 00 production. She sings like the lights have gone out behind her eyes.

Not as good as Christina Aguilera's classic debut album, featuring "Genie in a Bottle". ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I mean, it's an out an out classic.

Tidal by Fiona Apple

Very good, sinister etc.

One of the best.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis

Kinda cool neo soul.

Some classic tracks, but the Who were finding out Whom they were.

It's grand, like. Perhaps a touch dated at this stage.
