1001 Albums Summary

Its a classic for a reason. You probably know most of the songs already, even if its another artists version.

Thrash classic. Great tunes but even the remaster still sounds trebley as all hell.

Probably the most telling aspect was I forgot it was on. An argument against double albums.

The greatest modern jazz record ?

Still awesome.

Amazing album from an amazing band. I could probably listen to Matt Berninger sing the phone book and be happy.

Well I can finally say I've heard a Yes album. Inoffensive 70s prog nonsense. The dog liked it.

Look man, you can listen to Jimi but you can’t hear him. There’s a difference man. Just because you’re listening to him doesn’t mean you’re hearing him.

Probably heard this a 100 times and is still awesome.

Classic.

Peak Stripes

Couple of amazing singles and a big load of rubbish

Released after they disbanded their swansong sounds 4 years too late. The high points still hold up Care of Cell 44, Brief Candles and Time of the Season. Sounds of psychedelia 60s England but some songs haven't held up well.

First album without Richie Edwards and it shows. The sound of a band deliberately making the leap from clubs to stadiums. Still sounds great.

Side 1 is a mess. Side 2's sprawling 19 minute jam 'Revelation' is worth the admission but skip the rest. 'Forever Changes' it isn't

Where it all began.

Self indulgent.

The sound of endless summer, innocent fumblings and cider in the park.

Heartbreaking.

Average, probably the worst of New Orders 80's records.

Frustrating. Talking Heads are a band I always think I should like way more than I do. Until we try again in another 12 months Mr Byrne.

About as near perfect as you can get.

Side 1 is post punk perfection. Side 2..... is really not.

Absolutely filthy.

Meh

Its nice enough in a Sunday morning, put on something low key, did I really do that last night, shots were probably a bad idea, oh jesus I might have some calls to make sort of way. Can we also talk about the weirdness of calling your album Sweet Baby James if your name is James....

Singles are awesome, rest is fairly meh.

Where the late night blues of his earlier albums ends and the experimental camp of his later albums begin.

Who doesn't love some Pixies

Probably blasphemy to some but I found this totally underwhelming. There wasn't even a fake walk off.

Super chilled, great for 6am on a Sunday morning or 2pm on a Tuesday in the office.

Too freaking long.

Fun

Not normally my jam but decent enough.

Solid Kinks album. Can't beat some Ray Davies.

In Bob we trust.

The sound of Detroit setting fire to the 60's and kicking the door open for punk to eventually rip up what became of the 70s. Takes balls for your debut album to be a live recording but it captures the incendiary nature of MC5 more than any studio would. And right now...Right now.....Right now its time to...

Listened for the first time in years. Still a meh.

You know half the songs already. Country rock at its finest. Solid.
