1001 Albums Summary

For some reason, all the best music was the stuff I found at 15. Scientists are still searching for the reason behind this phenomenon.

What can I say better than Kendrick has already said himself?

Took this opportunity to relisten to the album, and so glad I did. It's what an album should be: great songs that are only improved by listening to them together.

Not even nostalgia could save how dated this sounds

Her voice is so incredible and unique

I get the Red Hot Chili Pepper hate now.

Really enjoyed this album, but I'm not sure I'll ever listen to it again.

Didn't love every artistic choice on this album, but it was certainly never boring.

Turns out, I do not actually miss the old Kanye

It's fine. Not worth white washing apartheid for, so -1 star extra. As expected, it was like when you hear native Hawaiians play the ukulele correctly for the first time. A lot of the fun and uniqueness is taken out of the Westernized version afterwards. You Can Call Me Al is a banger tho

This is going to make me even more judgemental of every mediocore white man in the 80s who tried to imitate this sound (count your days, Paul Simon)

Real boss hoss

Started with "Smack My Bitch Up" and nothing on the album redeemed it.

I kept having to restart this album because none of the songs stuck out enough for me to remember where I was.

Sometimes, you just know you're going to be in the minority of people who just love an album on here.

Reminds me of my Twilight phase (positive)
