1001 Albums Summary

He’s decent is Kendrick and this album isn’t bad but it isn’t my thing really. He comes closest of the current crop of rappers in speaking to me, but on this it’s still a disconnect. At least it’s not all ego

Dylan is a genius. Not much more to say. A great storyteller, a master of the song. Able to achieve fluid and comprehensive storytelling without needing to shoehorn in a word or a syllable. As a performer too, so what he isn’t the most athletic singer. He is a perfect storyteller.

I really enjoyed this. My first listen in a couple of years and it’s full of the fat guitars and riffs that I loved, but I’d forgotten how sensitive some of the songwriting was. I’d like to make music like this.

A great record. It’s not like other hip hop, not heavy on the self aggrandisement and sexism, heavy on the actual groove and their biggest concern could very well be a lost wallet. So much more musical that you may expect

How do you fault this? Ridiculously funky musical and fun.

Odd if you’re expecting Rumours 2. Interesting and different with the drums very forward in the sound and an aggression that seems almost unlike post Peter Green Mac. Still worth your attention though.

Supreme!

It’s kind of epic and wide. An expansive listen but one that hasn’t hugely left any songs with me. I have held onto some of the feeling. Not any of the specifics.

Another wide epic album that sounds like feelings but stayed with me no further than the final reverb tail. Not bad, but not amazing.
