1001 Albums Summary

honestly, I had not listened to much of Bob Marley before this album, but just kept the good vibes rolling in terms of album Exodus was my favorite song. however, as an overall album pretty solid, not my favorite.

surprisingly short album, perfect length of songs in my opinion for this album head bopping!

Shorter than I preferred, but not bad! Iconic classic 80s sound but did not stand out much to me.

Surprised that I hadn't listened to David Bowie earlier in life. This album was a blast, I love David's use of different instruments. The piano solo in Aladdin Sane was CRAZY!

Very confused with this one, did not vibe with it.

Electric blues, what a BLAST. Muddy Waters has such a distinct and satisfying voice that feels like it was made for blues and story telling. Overall fun, satisfying, and cool album. I’m not much a blues listener normally but this rocked!

I actually loved this album more than I thought I would. As his last album, Bowie sounds older and wiser. I loved the experimental jazz elements of the songs, and overall, I felt like I vibed more with this album than his Aladdin Sane album.

Listened to this while on a run and loved it! They have such a distinct nostalgic 80s vibe to them that I personally enjoyed. I heard one of their songs in Stranger Things but didn’t think to explore them more before now.

Some of the songs sounded the same towards the middle but other than that rocking album!

Pretty solid album!

Listening to this album after Dolly passed away made me listen to the album more closely :( but I love Dolly’s voice and her collaborative spirit. Her voice rides a fine line blending well anyone’s but at the same time being distinct among other singers. I loved the song Wildflowers!

all I could think about the whole album is how this band for the duck Dynasty theme song lol

genuinely such a fun album not at all what I expected from Justin Timberlake, but honestly loved it.

So confused through the entire album?? This is the epitome of someone barely changing their vocal pitch and still making an album. I did like the big band brass though

Friend: I listen to anything! Me: Let’s test that *plays the first half of this album*

Walmart Bob Marley

This is way outside of my normal music genre listening. Still not my favorite genre but I definitely heard a sample from another famous song (or maybe the song sampled from this one?). Felt like this one wasn’t for me but loved the harmony with the three female singers and gave me a wider appreciation for the art of rapping. Overall I was just uncomfortable with the N word being constantly used and felt like I should have been watching this as an outsider instead of experiencing it.

Actually loved this way more than I expected to! I’m a sucker for when an artists uses orchestra instruments in songs but over all such an expanse on story telling in this album. I love how much range Billie Eilish has and how much she experiments while staying consistent with the overall albums bigger story.

Pretty cool! Would not recommend listening to it during a run while passing cars (see second to last song on the album)
