1001 Albums Summary

I don't like it. I just wanna quote someone else review: "I just can't enjoy the monotonous sludge of distorted guitars and Corgan's petulant whine." 1/5 —————————————— Liked: — Today

Maybe it had a lot of influence on country and folk music (I don't know), but I didn't enjoy listening to the album. It's just okay — old, forgettable, kinda bland. Still, the album isn't total shit, her voice is cool. 2/5 —————————————— No liked songs

Album 88. Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury — The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy (1992) It's a bad hip hop album and even worse political message. Well, who the fuck is this dude I thought. He's a radical left activist who's shitting words out of his mouth, of course from SF. He is not even a rapper. That’s why he sounds like a teenager who’s trying to rap for the first time. Moreover, his lyrics make him not just a rap teenager, but a dumb rap teenager. Lyrics are shallow, boring and plain. Voice and technique are shit. Beats are decent. This album is about hypocrisy? Sure, it’s hypocritical leftist propaganda disguised as hip-hop, spreading an anti-capitalist message by using capitalist infrastructure. Fuck you dude. Firstly I wanted to rate it as 2 out of 5, ‘cause I’m biased towards rap. But no way I can rate it more than... 1/5 —————————————— No liked songs

Album 119. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (https://open.spotify.com/album/1UsmQ3bpJTyK6ygoOOjG1r?si=6FFAmp9EQ-qcNXt48Sd-qw) — Outkast (2003) ooooooohhhhh sheeeeeet, we're finally closer and closer to my golden hip-hop territory. I was terrified in the morning when I saw how long this album is: 40 tracks, 2 hours and 14 minutes of great hip hop. Fundamental, Monumental, GOATed. Basically, it's a double album. Two albums in 1 wrap — and that's unusual. Big Boi's Speakerboxxx and Andre 3000's The Love Below. While listening, it feels like both OutKast members have unlimited ideas. Big Boi's Speakerboxxx is more complex and technical, Andre's The Love Below is more chill and soft but loses rap power — it's becoming just weaker for non-fans as I can see. Despite high technique, Speakerboxxx doesn't work perfectly for me, I don't really wanna relisten to it except GhettoMusick and The Way You Move — the last one is basically too similar to the second album. Both albums are great, still I prefer Andre's The Love Below: more structural, but not traditionally, experimental, much more styles mixing. There's jazz, psychedelic, pop, funk and much more. And Andre switches between genres like it's the easiest thing in the world - maestro. And Prince influence is vital here. I just recently recalled Happy Valentine's Day from this album and now here we are with a whole album. The Love Below part is unique for hip-hop: a hip-hop love album with a much more gentle style, it evolves song to song and each sounds so new. It's just silly enough, technical enough,lyrically repetitive enough - everything in balance for perfection. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below is a compromise and the document of the creative dissolution of OutKast. Absolute masterpiece 5/5 Liked songs: — GhettoMusick — The Way You Move — The Rooster — Bust — War — Tomb of the Boom — Flip Flop Rock — Reset — Love Hater — God — Happy Valentine’s Day — Spread — Prototype — She Lives in My Lap — Hey Ya! — Roses — Behold a Lady — Love In War — My Favorite Things — Vibrate

It’s David Fucking Bowie. It’s his fourth studio album and the earliest one on the list. It’s unbelievable that we get a great Bowie album every year, like the next year after this masterpiece we got another one, Ziggy Stardust. What a genius omg. Changes — Love the song, love the lyrics, love the Shrek. Yes, the cover of this song with Bowie as participant was in Shrek 2. It’s everything you need to know about it hahahahah lol. It’s basically Bowie’s manifesto, ‘cause he loved changes so much, it was throughout his life, throughout his career and it’s just his performance. I wish to untie this ball and understand why I love the Bowie so much. Is it really since childhood when I saw Shrek or is it because of Elon Bowie & Bach are my two fav musicians (https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1644575182839742464?s=20) — Elon Musk, April 8th, 2023 or is it some other reason? Time may change me. But I can’t trace time. Oh! You Pretty Things — I don’t know, it’s great song. Homo sapiens have outgrown their use. Eight Line Poem — Chill nice song, it’s not in my playlist. Life on Mars? — yes, yes, yes. It’s the first Bowie song I was obsessed with. I heard it in a SpaceX animation video (https://youtu.be/Tk338VXcb24?si=b7z1y9NqnQ5pYGzs) about the Falcon Heavy Launch in 2018 and it’s changed my life. I love Bowie so much since then. Life on Mars is the №4 lifetime song in my Spotify and I streamed it over 80 times. So, yes, I admire this song. The history of creating this song is mind-blowing. There was a French hit song “Comme d’habitude (https://youtu.be/w22haP4hgsQ?si=vPw4-18Xp7Ci9Mis)” by Claude François, Bowie wrote English lyrics for this song “Even a Fool Learns to Love (https://genius.com/David-bowie-even-a-fool-learns-to-love-lyrics)”, but Bowie didn’t like it and the publisher he worked for didn’t like it either, so English lyrics were later written by another dude - Paul Anka. And this song became the famous “My way (https://youtu.be/qQzdAsjWGPg?si=8PCya_GdjyTuk_Ha)” by Frank Sinatra. Later, Bowie listened to it on the radio and wanted to create his own version. So, he created Life on Mars? which is my sort of, you know, revenge trip on My Way Absolute G.O.A.T and legend Kooks — It feels like a balm for the soul, such a nice and warm song, so relaxed, a little cheerful and just personal about his son. Quicksand — so philosophical and deep, great song. I really need to relisten to it more. I’m frightened by the total goal Drawing to the ragged hole And I ain’t got the power anymore No I ain’t got the power anymore Fill Your Heart — It’s not original, it’s a cover of Biff Rose’s song. Easy, positive, nice Andy Warhol — It’s nice trolling song, but not for my playlist. Song for Bob Dylan — It’s very fun to listen how Bowie imitates Dylan’s style hahahaha and it’s great. Also not in my playlist, but it’s really wonderful. Queen Bitch — Glam Rooooock, fuck yeaaah, it already feels like the next album. The Bewlay Brothers — it’s so mysterious, psychedelic and a personal song. Fantastic This is a moment, when Bowie finally finds his voice before becoming Ziggy. The previous three albums are also great for me, as a fan, but there wasn’t so much bangers and hits just in one album. But this is a different one, when Bowie is still Bowie, but already in his Prime! 5/5 —————————————— Liked: — Changes — Oh! You Pretty Things — Life on Mars? — Kooks — Quicksand — Fill You Heart — Queen Bitch — The Bewlay Brothers
