1001 Albums Summary

I almost believe this site is watching my every move. This is album #11 of my 1001+ album journey. Of the first 3, Fred Neil's record, and TWO Bob Dylan Albums.... its like they want me to fall in love with folk music. One of those was Blood on the tracks. Ironically, Pitchfork cited that "Blue is like a companion to Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks—a confessional album very much of its time that endures on the strength of fantastic melodies and musical simplicity." It's as if fate wanted me to listen to this. Well jokes on them, I've listened to this numerous times. Just thought this was a funny story to tell. Most obvious 5/5 album of all time

When Paul McCartney said this was one of the 3 best albums he ever listened to, I came into this with HUGE expectations. And i've gotta say, Paul, if you told me Rebecca Black was a generational Female vocalist, i'd believe you. Some people you just dont question their musical opinions. However, in this case. I think me and Paul just have different tastes (hence why he's a musical icon and im here writing reviews lol). I like the instrumentation on this album, and this guy is a cool vocalist to listen to. But i cant ever see myself revisting this album routinely, other than "The Weight" 3/5

Even without the context of this being one of the last Kurt Cobain performances we'd ever get. This is one of the greatest live albums of all time. Its up for debate between this, James Brown at the Apollo, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, The Who at Leeds, and MC5's Kick out the jams. What's not for debate however, is that this forever cemented Kurt as the voice of a generation. Not a voice of a genre that rose, fell and nearly died in a 3 year span. The way this band almost gives these rock songs a new layer of awesomeness and depth with the accoustic setting, is a bar that is almost impossible to reach for future artists (especially in rock). No questions, no debates. This is a 5/5 album
