1001 Albums Summary

It's a great listen, never paid attention to the more orchestral flourishes on this, and just a great listen. 38mins of any timescale well spent.

The Apple Music master isn’t great quality unfortunately but good to revisit this. The strength is in the old side b as it starts timidly and only gets good halfway through.

Spector is a dickhead

Still bringing the energy on this.

First Iron Maiden album I have ever listened to. I am 48. It wasn't terrible.

Mostly passed me by as a piece of work on original release. But has some great compositions therein. Some of the sounds have dated particularly on the uptempo pieces. But a good listen!

Proto Punk. Garage Rock. Fuck whatever it gets tagged as. Let’s call it energy. Williamson’s guitar. Let’s not get into the mix debate (I listened to the Iggy mix). It’s nasty abrasive shit and I love it.

It compels you from the first moment and continues to enthral as you inhabit these words and stories and you can’t turn it off. It’s my favourite Waits but there is still so much to explore.

First time listening to this. Never discovered before. Last run of songs very melodic. Have added to playlist going forward. Nice.
