1001 Albums Summary

Slightly better than "Master Of Reality" with a clearer sound. Still not one I find myself going back to often, but when I do, I find I enjoy it.

Feels like richer orchestration behind her deliveries, but I kinda wish she had adopted a little more of the Memphis funk. A bit dated, but not unpleasant.

Slightly dated, but the hit singles still are fun to listen to. Natural first step that led to "Thriller".

Sorry, no. Not my cup of tea. "Song 2" is pretty much a standard, to be sure, but there's not much more on this one for one to hang one's hat. Not unpleasant, but definitely not one I'd go back to anytime soon.

Not as solid of an album as I remember it, but still enjoyable. "How Soon Is Now" remains the highlight. What carries the album is the overall musicianship, not necessarily Morrissey's vocals.

Quite possibly (still) Metallica's high-water mark. No offense meant towards Jason Newstedt, but Cliff Burton will always be the GOAT when it comes to Metallica's bass lines.

"Jump" still sounds as fresh today as it did 40-plus years later... then again, so does the whole album. They never topped this one. Solid from beginning to end.

Intriguing second effort from Hendrix. Features him moving more into the psychedelic realm with some of his efforts and embracing a little more funk, but not quite ready to give up the all-out rock that first gave him success. The album has to grow on you, but it's worth the effort.
