#850 Cornershop – When I Was Born for the 7th Time

So many bands lately I have not heard of before doing this list of 1001 Albums… Cornershop is a British indie rock band who released their third album When I Was Born for the 7th Time in 1997. My favourite songs are “Sleep on the Left Side”, “It’s Indian Tobacco My Friend”, “Brimful of Asha“, […]

#849 The Divine Comedy – A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy‘s A Short Album About Love is really a short album. But is it about love? “Everybody Knows (Except You)” is an interesting song. I liked all the songs, but especially “If” and “Timewatching“. I am not always sure how I feel about chamber pop. At times it sounds like a 70s artist […]

#848 Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – The Boatman’s Call

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are a regular on the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. The Boatman’s Call is there third out of four albums on the list and their tenth studio album. This album marks a change from the post-punk on the previous albums. Trivia: Cave played “Into […]

#846 The Prodigy – The Fat of the Land

I have definitely heard of and heard some of The Prodigy music. A long time ago, there was a couple who would take in people like myself who needed a little help. I thought they were like a family I never had. One guy they took in really like this band. I did not really […]

#845 Sleater-Kinney – Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney is another band I have never heard of. I was really out of touch with music in the mid to late 90s. Their third album Dig Me Out was considered their breakthrough. Trivia: Original band member Carrie Brownstein is also a writer and actress. She and Fred Armisen wrote and starred in the satirical comedy […]

#844 David Holmes – Let’s Get Killed

I have never heard of Belfast electronica DJ David Holmes, but he has been around for some years and has created music for a few television series and films I have seen. Let’s Get Killed is his second studio album. Overall, I felt this was the kind of electronic music one would hear in a film or use […]

#843 Robert Wyatt – Shleep

Another artist I have never heard of is English musician Robert Wyatt. He was highly praised for his seventh album Shleep from 1997. One of the genres on the album is Canterbury scene, which I have never heard of either. It is from the city of Canterbury in England. It is associated with progressive rock. The […]

#842 Primal Scream – Vanishing Point

Primal Scream return with their fifth studio album Vanishing Point, which is their second album on the list of 1001 Albums… I liked their previous album Screamadelica. This album’s title is named after and inspired by the 1971 film Vanishing Point. I like the first song “Burning Wheel” because of how weird it sounds and changes at […]

#841 The Chemical Brothers – Dig Your Own Hole

I am familiar with The Chemical Brothers. Even though I was not listening to a lot of music in 1997, I still heard them. Their second album Dig Your Own Hole brought them more fans. By the way, they are not brothers. The duo knows how to kick off an album. The first song “Block […]

#840 Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott – Supa Dupa Fly

Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott is a rapper. Her debut album Supa Dupa Fly was a financial and critical success. It was a redefining album produced by Timbaland. As I stated it a rap album or hip hop. Whatever. I am not a fan of the genre in general, but I am open to listening to it. […]
