The 1001 Album Generator Project Thread

Tonight/Tomorrow's listen:

An album I have listened to, but admittedly not given enough time. Will report back.

Pretty great Psychedelia as could be expected. Had no idea that was their first with Ms. Slick. Is worth a five for Somebody to Love and White Rabbit alone.

Embarrassed to say, I don’t think I have ever listened to this:

I was unable to get to RUN DMC yesterday. As some of you know, I’ve been a little preoccupied recently. I’ve paused the personal project for a minute.

Well its easy to see why MoFi and VMP chose this record.

Well its easy to see why MoFi and VMP chose this record. I'm giving it five on first listen.

I like it when Punk and Punk adjacent stuff shows up. Been meaning to check this out for a while

That’s a really great post punk album. Really influential on a lot of the early 00s acts.

Also can’t beat a bit of hardcore Marxism in your punk!

I thought it was interesting how much Joy Division I heard in their rhythms.

Gave Gang of Four 4 stars... will revisit for sure.

I don't think a background listen at work was the right atmosphere for this. Really just came across as noise.

First generation Dino Jr. (which is my favorite generation) Bug and You’re Living All Over Me fluctuate back and forth as my Favorite. I don’t have Bug on vinyl yet (I am waiting to find an OG SST pressing) I have the cassette tape though.

It’s always better to be able to crank those J Mascis guitars for full effect.

I almost snagged one of these on RSD, but couldn't justify spending the $75 on an album I already own, and bought at the same store.

Yeah, that’s kinda why I am waiting. It’s easier to justify if I don’t already own a copy.

 

[TrainFan73]

Gave Bugs 3 stars for now. Definitely need to spend more time with it at some point.

Hookworms - Microshift

No idea what this even is. Cover looks like a 90's gateway screen saver.

David Gray - White Ladder

Thought I had listened to David Gray before, not so sure and too busy to be making this post, much less searching last.fm right now. All I know is that at the end of the first song this is 100% right up my fucking alley. Sounds like late Dylan and Peter Gabriel made an album together and I love it.

Day 97 - (I feel like I can finally take this thing of pause!)

This is not an album I find myself seeking out to listen to very often, but it's a damn near perfect album nevertheless.

Day 98

I can appreciate what they were going for with this in terms of scope and trying something new. I applaud the risk-taking that made this album possible on many levels. That said, it did very little for me. 2/5

 

[TrainFan73]

I put the personal on hold while I figure out this new schedule nonsense.

Day 99

Well, it's only been a minute since this came up in the other thread, so:

4/5 for me. It's icky/provocative sure, but it's also a pretty incredible piece that has inspired much further greatness.

Day 100

I don't really gravitate toward vocal jazz all that much outside of Nina Simone. I can appreciate it (and do!), but I don't seek it out too often save for specific settings or company. I don't know that I've ever listened to more than the odd song here and there from Sarah Vaughan before this but this was quite a delight. Her rapport with the audience, in particular, is a treat; it feels very casual while also feeling like a formal show - a perfect atmosphere for something like this. And her voice is top notch - it's obviously no mistake that she's considered one of the greats. 5/5
