1001 Albums Summary

One of the best albums of the seventies with a completely skipless tracklist. The title track “Maggot Brain” is a 10 minute guitar solo but manages to not drag on at all. Great psychedelic grooves throughout the album, the incredible production courtesy of band leader George Clinton, and how unique the album from anything else from that time (not counting other Parliament-Funkadelic album) are the main factors in why I think it’s a 5 star album.

All vocalists sound amazing, Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar work is clever as ever. Very well produced. Highlights for me include: “Storms”, “Sisters of the Moon”, “Over and Over”, and “Sara” amongst many others. Fantastic album and would be Fleetwood Mac’s best if not for “Rumours”.

This album kicks ass in so many ways. The guitar, bass, and drums on this album are fucking impeccable, and Bruce Dickinson was hungry with something to prove since this was his first album as a member of Iron Maiden replacing their original lead singer Paul Di’Anno. Definitely a highlight of the metal genre (like many other Maiden albums). Strong 9/10 for sure

Not much to be said, one of the best soul albums out there. 1967 was a stacked year for music released but this stands out as one of the best from that year, and “Respect” will forever be an absolute anthem.

Super impressive orchestral arrangements all over this album. Some slower, and some loud and lively. Overall great album.

I’ve never listened to any salsa albums before and this was a great first album for the genre. Fantastically enjoyable, album that has made me want to listen to more of this genre.

4.5/5 stars. All the songs are super cohesive and make for a great album experience. My favourite song is the intro “What Time Is Love?”, which is a super energetic edm track.
