1001 Albums Summary

I don't like Chris Cornells voice. I never have been able to get past it. His lyrics are great and sometimes the guitars leave the bluesy place they usually live at- otherwise I just can't. I really tried. When I was in middle school I was obsessed with "grunge" and would watch the movie Hype! Like everyday. I just couldn't ever get into Soundgarden. If I was at a show and the next band on sounded like this - I would go smoke.

His last classic

My favorite way horns have ever sounded on record

HEEELLLLLLL YEAAAAA Ok whoever put this on here is my friend. This is one of those records that defined the last decade for me. One of the ones that ppl in the future will truly remember and respect. Plus I was I my late mid 20s it was the late mid 20teens. In the Atlanta queer art community- noone was more a paragon of cool than Kelela. That time and place was defined by Kelela, FKA Twigs, Frank Ocean, Tinashe and Solange. I was a huge fan of her mixtape when it came out. Already a believer but this album just catapulted me into devotee. Everyone loved her music but the group think was all so hyped on the Knowles sisters that Kelela was kinda treated like a side chick. More for the nerds. Since her newest record New Avatar came out I feel like I've truly gotten to see her be admired on the big stage of public opinion and it really feels so good. She deserves it.

Even if I thought "I don't need to listen to that album again. I may want to listen to something else for a change." As soon as it is on I remember that almost nothing is this perfect and satisfying all of the time/everytime.
