#1001albums #albumchallenge
Day 390 of listening to an album per day of the 1001 Albums You Need To Hear Before You Die brought me 36 Chambers by the Wu-Tang Clan.
It's 29 years ago that my brother, who curated the hip-hop part of our teenage years, walked into my room with his new discovery I had to listen to.
Re-listening this now, all these years later, I notice that none of the raw, unvarnished grit has worn away from this album. It has fully stood the test of time with its minimalistic samples, spooky piano riffs and most of all the incredible quality of all 9 MC's.
A stone cold classic in its genre. And my first 5* for a hip-hop album in this list.
