1001 Albums Summary

Guitar work is mental but the entire album is what I imagine goes through the old guy at the bar that claims he's slept with a 1000 women. "Hey baby I live life on the edge now sleep with me oh yeah honey" I like that they took so much joy in making their guitars sound like cars.

Like his voice or not the man's a prophet of a songwriter. No doubt I'll be whipping this out when im 40 years futher down the line when I know abit more about life.

What the hell is going on with that travelling sales man and her mother?! Awful choice in men but shows that homemade gifts can overcome familial adultery. Sweet easy listen

It's cool, very cool. Maybe too cool and too complete i dunno

Top tier artist

As a 90's kid it hits the spot but as a being with ears im ok

The noise my banjo string made when I was first angry wanking. Survived once im cool thx

The bangers are bangers but the rest is fine. Like, fine.

He's not a cool chap is he? And very shit at math. Great vibe for the first few but then long and repetitive

Ehhhhhhhhhhh, thought I'd love it but kinda like a photographer that thinks operating the camera is a talent

Some people just get it don't they. Cultural flavour, energy, ability. Generational live moment

Smooth and silk but I thing the 5th star is only accessible when laying in a straw friend which i don't have at hand

Immersive af. Kendrick is a master lyricist and flavour seller. Starts weak to me and ends well. Just like my trips It gets repetitive and there's about 3 themes and one of them hates women - a mirror to the repetitive and misogynistic violence that permeates unsupported and marginalised America It is mad how many rappers have SA's tho whats that about

For all the double denim wearing knobbly knees brigade grandads saying it's not punk or it's an industry plant - you used to clap for jimmy Saville For everyone listening for the album - generational. Can feel the life of the city and times it was made in. No skips

No skips, no surprises. One of the most complete albums I've listened to. When artists are brave enough to make music feel how society feels and not think putting it in a lyric is enough - we get this.
