1001 Albums Summary

One of my favorites from this decade. Such a strange and angular band, and this is one of their weirdest and most interesting.

Overrated. For people who like poems more than they like music. Can't sing at all - there comes a point at which not being able to carry a tune is an actual problem when it comes to calling yourself a musician. I like the title tune kinda sorta - thanks to the actual singers in the background. Basically, I don't want to listen to Grandpa croak at me.

Amazing. Mind-altering. His most conventional yet most subversive.

Do they make bad songs? Weird, poppy, angular (again), bouncy.

So so soulful yet precise. True synthesis of great American art forms.

Meh. Repetitive, trying to hard to be from the '60s. There's something about Brit-rock from the '90s and '00s that just doesn't work for me - it sounds sterile and passionless and over-aware of itself.

An amazing album, with just about the greatest collection of guitar tones ever.

Great pump-up album that sounds new. Timeless. Great guitar tones.

Nope. Michael Jackson has to be the single most overrated artist of the 80s.

Very smooth and relaxing, with deceptively amazing musicianship. Definitely a product of its time but that’s not a bad thing.
