Day 1 of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with @marmeu.
This was some really good jazz. I loved that first track so much— It was just really groovy. I don't have much to say other then I'm beginning to understand jazz more after this listen being my 2nd jazz album that I have heard so far. I know @marmeu is gonna love that I reviewed this album and STILL will complain to me in class about how this is better then TPAB and then go on my AOTY account and check my 100s and say it's better then all of them. But anyway, great album, I recommend this (if you haven't heard it) to most people who listen to jazz.

Day 2 of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with @marmeu.
HOLY SHITTTT, MY FIRST TRUE SOUL ALBUM (igor dont count) AND THIS WAS INSANEEEEEEE. This was amazing. Immediately after the first track I was already hooked to this, and while listening to this album reading Rices review which is one of the best reviews I've read in a while. It's so groovy and amazing. I was legit dancing downstairs while listening to this album. Me and @marmeu had the track rating for track rating, exact same score, on everything too. He was going insane in our discord chat about how good it was (we we're in a jam). AMAZING ALBUMMMMM GO LISTEN.

Day 3 of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with @marmeu.
This is pretty good, but to me, it's boring, like painfully boring. The tracks averaged out to a 70 but I'm giving it a 61 because like this is so just average, and I don't know why? It sounds like something that I would really like, but I guess not. It's a solid record.

Day 4 of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with @marmeu.
I was expecting more. I don't know why, but I actually was expecting quite a bit from this album even though I had never heard anything close to it ever before, and I knew that going in— But it slightly disappointed me. This was still, a very weird album, which I'm pretty sure is what its trying to achieve. Overall, this did a solid job at doing that though. It's still a good project.

Day 5 of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with @marmeu.
I honestly was expecting more. Just from how highly praised it is being one of the highest rated live albums of all time, but to be fair, I don't have much experience with live albums OR Nirvana. I liked the folk songs on this like Polly by far the most out of any track on this record. All the others seem so like, solid but a bit boring at the same time? Like I didn't LOVE it, but I still liked it quite a bit, this doesn't have a standout track like Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis had (Move), But it certainly had better consistency, so I'm giving it one more point then the jazz album, although this will probably change at some point if I ever decide to relisten to either, which probably won't be anytime soon. Overall great record, doesn't make me the most eager for more nirvana, but still great, not amazing.

Day 6 of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with @marmeu. This album was overall incredibly boring and Tooting Bec Wreck being the only above average song on here. This album is just pretty boring and each song doesn't bring much new to the table. It seems to be a style I have heard oh so much and I don't see myself returning if this is my baseline. Overall boring and repetitive.

Day 7 of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die with @marmeu. First time in a while
The baboon has now become dinner.
I can see how crazy it is that this is made in 1974 because of the sounds used her, but to be honest, it doesn't hold up as well today, its still nice and you can see how this has affected the electronic genre overall, but, it probably hit way harder 50 years ago. The first song was the best obviously but I found myself enjoying the last song quite a bit because of my friend's stupid storytelling about a Chinese baboon going through a forest and ending up as dinner at the end of the song, we laughed about that shit for way too long, its 4am to be fair. The songs in the middle were kind of eh, I do see the concept though of it being the actual german motorway system known as the Autobahn, it makes itself very clear on the first track, although I think they were just fucking around in the 2nd half because I don't really see how it fits in with the first track very much. Wish the first track had some more grand stuff at the end of the progressions. As my friend described it, the last song was straight national geographic music. We also noticed, I believe it was track 4 being kind of similar to pt.3 of Fishmans, Long Season. Overall a nice revolutionary album that holds up a little today, boring at some parts, great background music at other parts.
