1001 Albums Summary

It's definitely maybe for sure.

vibe tracks, its alright.

Holy nuts.

"We're not like those thug rappers, we're real artists", what a joke. Don't know how people rate this. Forgettable beats, lyrics that can be solid (especially in the first half) but are often preachy and surface level. And some pretty pathetic "political" statements that don't cover any meaningful issues. And did I mention homophobia. Jurassic 5 think they're Public Enemy, but they have far more in common with the "thugs" that they claim are poisoning hip-hop. They have about as much a chance at restoring hip-hop's early days as I do at winning an Oscar. Bunch of condescending jerk-off's, no wonder they never took off.

Neil Young get's personal here. It's hard to say what the overarching theme is here, (if there were one, it would likely be past reflection), but I wouldn't say that's to the album's detriment either. Young has clever lyrics and should be commended for the vulnerability and bluntness he gives. The album itself however is quite slow, even for something under 40 minutes, and many tracks can end up feeling drawn out due to Young's instrumental emphasis, something which I grew to dislike as the album progressed. It's not entirely my cup of tea, but I can see many enjoying this.

A bold and unique flare comes with this. Shaka Zulu explores a multitude of themes through Acapella. This album is strongest in it's Zulu tracks, layering on metaphors that dealt with the various struggles associated with living in Apartheid South Africa as Black South Africans. There's nothing standout here, though the stomping on the last track was a definite highlight for me. A definitive album that I'm glad to have heard even if I needed to translate it.

Jolly time. What else is there to say about the Beatles tbh. Very fun album, with a lot of good tracks. Can't say anything other then good time.

Can't say much but dreamy.

Whirlwind, but a delightful one. Holy hell this was great! Despite the diversity of the instrumentation, everything flowed so cleanly. Each track is divided into it's own sections, the lyrics of which, while not the most profound I've heard, are certainly some of the most interesting I've heard in a while. By far one of, and even possibly the best Progressive Rock album ever!

Standard country stuff. Ms Lynn has a lovely voice, and I can't say any of this was bad, in fact some of the lyrics were quite good. But it's kinda just standard. An interesting dive into the country time capsule.

Woah I did not expect to like this so much! Paul Simon just has an inherent likeability to him. Everything here works, the storytelling, genre shifts, it's all so good! A classic.

Classic record. I mean it's the wall. Great storytelling, instrumentals, and vocal performances. Forever solid, get it?

Aretha the Queen Franklin. Don't think there's many who can touch her vocal's. This entire track list is full of vibey songs. As to be expected from a legend.
