Album #267: Jeru the Damaja - The Sun Rises In The East

By Jeru the Damaja (1994)

The Sun Rises in the East on 1001albumsgenerator

It was nice to hear a new album for a change. My backlog has filled with the 60s and 70s rock albums that are the mainstay of this book. Peter Frampton and Iron Butterfly are Classic Rock staples that would also appear in "1001 Albums You Will Almost Certainly Have Heard Before You Die".

Jeru the Damaja was totally new to me. That was exciting enough that I put it on as soon as I saw it was the record for the day. It wasn't disappointing per se, but it's easy to understand how this record hasn't stuck around. Everything is good sometimes - the beats are most consistent - but it's rare that everything works on the same track. There are frequent glimpses of something promising, but it doesn't quite materialise here.

Still, I'll take that over slogging through Frampton Comes Alive.
