1001 Albums Summary

Solid album with influences deep in the post-punk of he late 70s/early 80s. Suitable mix of indie/garage rock with a slight dance influence. Forerunners of the garage rock revival of the 2000s

Definitely an interesting listen. Not gonna act like it's the greatest thing ever because it's pretty much all covers of Motown and soul songs but they're performed and sung pretty tastefully. Plus gotta give credit to Dusty Springfield for introducing the Motown and 50s souls sound to a UK audience and her passion for it shows in this album. Not particularly amazing or impactful for me in both context and emotion but still a solid 50s pop record from the early 60s (plus You Don't Own Me is so damn cool)

Such a solid and highly influential metal album. There's a reason why critics, metalheads, and even general music fans call this one of the greatest metal albums of all time. If I did have to criticise something, I'd agree that Gangland isn't as well written as most the other tracks on there (thankfully it's right before Hallowed Be Thy Name which is phenomenal)
