1001 Albums Summary

Remember when the cops got so mad at this album they made them take off the last track

Unquestionable 5/5 Chapmans lyrics about the heartbreak of hope and tragedy are absolutely timeless .

Gotta respect it for what it was but hasn’t aged well. The drum machine noises on this album are a rough listen in 2026.

Following up one of the best albums of all time is an unfortunately difficult feat for Tusk. While I think trimming some fat on the album could vault it to being an all-time great, I’m sure I’ll come back to the high points of this one just as much as my favorites from Rumours.

First album deserving of an extra half star I feel. It’s my first time hearing this album and while there are a lot of tracks to like, the meandering psychedelic ones really bog the album down as a whole. 3/5 feels right given that.

I don’t think you can argue the influence this album has on a lot of alternative music from the late 90s/early aughts. A few of the tracks are a little too repetitive for their length. I liked it but can’t really see myself coming back to it.

Only knew of DJ Shadow from his Run the Jewels collab before this. I love the arrangements on this album and can absolutely see myself becoming more of a trip hop guy after this.

These two albums were released at probably my most musically impressionable age growing up. I don’t know what to say apart from what has already been said regarding the huge number of hits and unmistakable groove of Atlanta’s historic duo. “Certified Hood Classic” doesn’t do it justice. Everyone needs to hear these songs at least once.

Barry: Hey Paul can I copy your homework Paul: Yeah just change the words a little so no one notices This album is so shamelessly derivative I can’t think of an excuse to give it more than one star. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I will give credit where it’s due for the Bee Gee’s disco tracks but they will ring a little more hollow now to be sure.

Good enough to add some songs to my workout playlist and have something different come up every now and again. Not sure I would go out of my way to listen otherwise though.

Always a bummer to hear 50 year old songs talking about how there’s too much pollution. Sorry it hasn’t gotten better! That said I enjoyed my time with this album. The vibe is easy-going as is typical for the genre. I’m probably not going to be back until the next time I’m on a beach though.

This album has some bops and is ultimately very good listening overall! I don’t think I need it on my shelf at home, but I enjoyed the run through all the tracks enough to want to do it again.
