1001 Albums Summary

I have listened to this a few times now in my life, and just recently saw GZA. I think the legacy and influence this album has cannot be denied, but it just has never done it for me like other 90's rap albums have like projects by A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul. I guess this speaks to my desire to have jazzier beats with more samples, as opposed to the rough and stripped down production style Wu-Tang uses.

I will be honest I didn't listen to it, which I know defeats the purpose of this project, but I know it well enough, and know the vibe and the singles and have spent time loving Adele, but yesterday I just didn't want to listen to a full album of piano ballads... Still 4 stars for longevity sake.

I appreciated the history of this album for a while, but had never sat down to listen. It still holds it's power for sure!

I enjoyed it for sure, classic metal album that I know was super influential.

I can hear the influences the Smiths had on so many bands I love the more I listen to this record.

I had never heard this album! I liked it, clearly a very influential album!

I had never heard this album! Pretty solid, classic metal!

I was hoping it was going to be a little more... emo? I had never heard of this album and it seemed like something that a lot of what I like to listen to would be based off but it was a little too grandiose in a way... But still good!

Not my favorite Bowie, but pretty good.

Honestly, the memes about Eddie Vedder are funny, but grunge is such an underrated genre of music and this album for sure is the foundation for everything that sounds like it. So many singles on this album I forgot about.
