1001 Albums Summary

have really been into jazz lately and was excited for this, especially as it was my first album with this project but alas, not for me

have loved certain songs from this album for a long time (pyramids, lost, and pink matter) but never listened all the way through. some new faves this time around: sweet life, monks, bad religion

never heard of this before but really digging it. will be a great album to put on when I need to dig in and get a task done. fave tracks: funky shit, narayan, climbatize

this does nothing for me. trying to be too many things / feels like a poor imitation of something in the world music category

This album was ubiquitous in my college days so it gets some nostalgia stars. There are some catchy melodies. Their sound is also unique and they clearly made their mark on indie music with this album. I just wish it was slightly less repetitive sounding, and even after multiple listens all the way through, many songs felt indistinguishable or forgettable. New favorite song with these recent listens: Too Afraid to Love You

My first introduction to Baaba Maal. I enjoyed Yela and Daniibe, the rest on this album was meh. Listened to some of his other work and I really enjoyed his collabs with Mumford and Sons and Ludwig Goransson on the Wakanda soundtrack.
