1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die by Robert Dimery

4.0

Fun listening to albums in context / with the mini-reviews for each album.

Didn't have an opinion on drum'n'bass before this book, but good God.... I never want to hear it again. The late 1990's were a trudge. If I wanted to hear hours upon hours of uhn-tiss-uhn-tiss-boom-boom-tish I would go to a rave. For some reason, it was less fun without LSD.

Glad Chocolate Starfish is included, not sure what I would have done without having heard it in context of development of nu metal. For some reason it still sounded like shit, but I'm sure there are layers to it that I just can't comprehend.
