1001 Albums Summary

I really enjoyed the drum and bass combo that drives the groove of the album. Very clean tones, very satisfying to bop to. The focal element of the album is the rapping and word play. I have a hard time focusing on lyrics in music, but the bits and pieces I picked up swayed back and forth between clever word play and discussion of sex, drugs, and money. I noticed I started to get bored the deeper into the album I got. I attribute that my personal difficulty focusing as time went on, and the drum and bass groove, while nice, eventually lost its novelty and got repetitive. All in all, solid album! I think I'd enjoy it more broken up and sprinkled throughout a playlist than listening to the album front to back.

Very bright, joyful sounding album! I was surprised to hear that the piano and guitar were panned hard left and hard right respectively, yet the frequency curve of the album was still flat and cohesive.

I didn't enjoy this album. I didn't like how the vocals were processed and balanced, I didn't like their delivery, I thought the guitars were too loud in the mix, I didn't like the guitar writing or performances (it sounded like squealing rather than something musically cohesive.) The single thing I did like was the drum production.

Good album, just really long

This album is what happens when legendary musicians are given the freedom to hit record and just go where the spirit of the music takes them. I wanna go back through this album and try to better understand everything going on throughout it because I'm certain musicians of this caliber are doing so much more than meets the eye (or... ear). Fantastic album; I want to buy a physical copy.

I wasn't a fan. The experimental timbres of this album made me feel a little uneasy more than anything. The vocal delivery also wasn't my cup of tea. It's a fine album, just not for me.

Great album! Super clean, very fun live recording.

This album sounds intimately gentle, and I love that.

Took me a few songs to get into, but settled very happily into the vibe in time.
