1001 Albums Summary

Could see this album being used for a skate video for sure. Not terrible but not really my theme for the majority of the album. Did end up adding one song from the album “Where is my mind”. 2.5/5

Back when Kanye made sense. Also didn’t realize how many samples of this album were used in other songs, ie workout plan for one of J Cole’s songs. The skits were also hilarious, get your degree!

Beautifully done.

Sounded like a bunch of sound bites throw together to make the songs. There didn’t feel like any cohesion throughout. I know U2 has some good songs, but there wasn’t any on this one. Happy that one is behind me.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Really makes me wish roller rinks were still a thing. I could see the boys courting the lasses with a nice choreographed roller dance. Incredibly catchy. King of pop for a reason; band is also nailing every track.

Garbage

Horns were well done, not my vibe really but wasn’t terrible.

Some decent bars on here.

Spoken songs are not really my jam. Also underwhelming instrumental. Don’t ever see myself reaching for anything by this artist honestly. At least not until the first million in the bank.

Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it.

Nothing special

Honestly, I thought there was no way I was going to like this… and while maybe I didn’t think it was top tier it was still impressive that they released the songs in French and in English. Her voice was enjoyable in both. Some of the beats were catchy and unique. Granted it is pop. I would lean more to a 3.5.

At certain points I was hearing Gord Downie… crazy

When you think of the 80s these guys are definitely it. Something about his voice with progression of the instruments.

Trailblazer for so many, and honestly hard not to enjoy.

Place and time for everything. This was enjoyable but it also felt like something I would put on and clean the house to.
