1001 Albums Summary

Blackstar's title track was the first thing I heard obviously when this album first came out. I watched the behind the scenes doc on an airplane to Croatia and that's where I found a need to visit this album. On revisiting to the opening title track with headphones it really hits me just how much I miss songs written without a basic pop song structure.

Good for the time but a little too lo-fi for me.

Honestly pretty surprised I never listened to this one. Always heard of the name but don't know I could name a single song of theirs. I expected pop but got pretty good rock/punk/pop mix. Then "Alright" came on and I immediately recognized the song and band.

Fine for what it is but could not get past two songs. Just not my cup of tea. Very 70's style white people rock.
