1001 Albums Summary

Gets a little boring. Songs sort of run together at some point, all of the guitar/bass/synth tones are the same throughout. Not a fan of Smith’s voice. Great songs.

The beginning of the end for Metallica. If I never hear this record again I’ll be ok.

This is fine. It’s what I expected. Nothing dangerous, very smoothed out and packaged. Fever is a little interesting, but overall a boring record.

My least favorite Miles era, but still brilliant. Haven’t listened to this in a long time, liked it more than I remembered.

Bookended by absolute classics, the rest of the record is a bit empty. The Beatles cover is fine, but doesn’t quite fulfill the hopes of Bowie covering Lennon.

Dated, but brilliant. The best era of hip hop

Man, what a surprise. Brilliant, gut wrenching performance and songs. Love this. My first new find from this whole exercise, and if this is the only one it’ll be worth it.

Tips into schmaltz here and there, but also has shades of Sade over classic structures. Well outside my wheelhouse, a nice listen.

Sort of everything we’ve come to expect from Lenny. Every groove is deep, every riff swings. But it still feels flat, calculated. There’s a formula, and Lenny knows it front to back.
