1001 Albums Summary

Every song is powerful, raw and hard hitting. Knowing it so well almost made me take the brilliance of this album for granted. Eddie is a force of nature.

Lackluster melodies and vocals, probably consistent with the genre but not particularly interesting. Felt a bit repetitive and all songs washed into one after a while. But the album was interspersed with slivers of edgy arrangements and cool instrumentals, which kept me enjoying it a little.

Wow! How have I missed listening to Dusty Springfield properly before. Her voice is amazing. The arrangements and melodies aren't my favourite kind of soul, but it's great to listen to nonetheless.

so groovy! green onions was just the right song at the right place at the right time and stands up forever. the rest of the album was great too, but didn't meet the same level of perfection as the title track for me.

Enjoyable and musically interesting! I'm glad I finally gave the Smiths a go. I liked it but not sure I would listen again, hence the 3 for now.
