1001 Albums Summary

Great to finally get to listen to this classic. Iconic gritty sound and an early case of using odd samples (like the little goat screams on the second or third song). Some good classic early hip hop vibes. Enjoyed the spotify radio station that came from it too.

Beautiful ballad vibes. Minimal instrumentation to really highlight the voice and story telling.

Great, captivating jazz. Only thing docking from a perfect 5 is that I didnt always love the bass player

Really loved some songs, 'always be there' especially, but some songs I don't like enough that I want to skip them which brings down from 4 to 3. Wish I could do 3.5

Did not enjoy nearly as much as Ill Communication

Enjoyed a lot, good story telling and theming throughout. Consistent sound. Every song was good, and some were great.

Really enjoyed the interaction with the audience and guards. Not a big fan of country - music was fine - but the way this album captured a moment in history is very cool
