1001 Albums Summary

Emotional Mugger by Ty Segall

This was very intriguing. Was new to me but got my attention and held it

Weezer by Weezer

2 bangers on this and the rest just felt so laboured in weak in comparison

Tomb by Angelo De Augustine

Very breathy style. Couldn't decide between Bon Iver & Sufjan Stevens for the similarity. But suffice to say, nothing was new or overly interesting. Not bad, has just been done much better previously

Peasant by Richard Dawson

This was a mad one. Didn't do anything for me.

The Best of The Hot 5 & Hot 7 Recordings by Louis Armstrong

Very hard to rate that so 3 is fairest I feel. Nice lounge music but it wasn't doing much for me

A City Dressed In Dynamite by That Handsome Devil

Very cool. Enjoyed it a lot. There was a more upbeat Tom Waits feel to it

Version 2.0 by Garbage

This was just listenable. A few stand out/catchy tunes but samey for the rest

1, 2, Kung Fu! by Boy Azooga

This was a very enjoyable listen. Nothing wowed me unfortunately.

Vedergällningen by Garmarna

Couldn't wait for it to end

Game of Fools by Koritni

This was close to 4 but 3 is fairest. It was decent without wowing

The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit

It was a nice listen but just meandered along. Really wanted it to change gear and kick on in places

Live in San Francisco by Thee Oh Sees

Sound quality was awful and my running rule is that Live albums shouldn't be included, especially Live albums that cherry pick from Multiple concerts

F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

I'll be honest, I didn't know what to make of it or how to judge it. But I know that I was wishing for it to be over

Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino by Arctic Monkeys

As they sing themselves...."4 stars out of 5"

Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens

Englabörn by Jóhann Jóhannsson

Funeral Dress by Wussy

A1A by Jimmy Buffett

It just passed me by without me taking notice for good or bad

Don't Say No by Billy Squier

Really enjoyed this. Was a new one to me, had never heard of him

The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

4 might be high but it was lively and mostly enjoyable
