1001 Albums Summary

High-octane start to the scheme. Lots of the songs sound very similar but that doesn't really matter if the blueprint is a banger. Great album. Made me wanna sniff some glue.

Listened to the first half of this in a post-World Cup ketamine inflicted stupor, which, as it turns out, is absolutely the correct way to listen to this album as I enjoyed it quite a lot less on the second listen. Found some of the songs pretty tedious but some good ones too. 'Exit Music', 'Electioneering' and 'No Surprises' were the highlights for me.

I thought this would be a slog without the visual accompaniment of the film, which is a masterpiece, but I really enjoyed it. Film is still a better experience but the album is a good listen regardless and you can still get a sense of the story without the visuals.

Loved the song with Nicki Minaj and generally the production side was good. I just find his voice too annoying to enjoy it very much.

Was looking forward to this, hadn't listened in a few years and it was as good as I remembered. Only things stopping me from giving it 5 stars is that some of the best tracks weren't actually on the original album but were added in a reissue.

Great fun and totally unique, up there with my all time favourite hip-hop albums.

The second half was better than the first. There are a few standout tracks but not sure I would necessarily seek out to listen apart from as background music. Iggy Pop feature was fun. Would probably give a 3.5 if it was possible but I think it is closer to a 3 than a 4 star.

Starts off strong but quickly becomes dull. I can see the appeal if I was there in a smoky jazz club with a cocktail but sadly I am not. I don't know enough about jazz to say what type I prefer so the best I can go for is 'Ore No Ryomi 2 soundtrack jazz'. This was not that.
