The Modern Lovers
5/5
Amazing. Developing the velvets sound to another level. Peak indie before indie existed.

Nick Drake
5/5
A true work of creative genius. This album will be held in awe centuries from now when all but a fee of these thousands of albums have been forgotten. Vital and important.

It’s 50 minutes long. I could only hack 40. It sounds like kurt in drag but saccharine sweet and over produced. Maybe Kurt sounded like her though. It reminded me of when I used to think Latoya Jackson was Michael in drag.

A disappointing start to my 1001 albums daily listening. Nostalgic middle of the road easy listening.
