1001 Albums Summary

Sounded very 'world music'- a bit samey but nice.

Really loads better than expected, thought it would be Pearl Jam sequence moaning but really enjoyable.

Loved this, what a voice, so much going on. Really snoozed on it at he time.

Although quite samey (chorus = repeat the same line louder and louder until shout reached) this is great. V familiar but much funkier than I remembered. Mad to think it's very clear about their politics 30 years ago and still people don't get it.

Eeeggghh... not a fan. Maybe just not my thing, but it just made me think of cheesy US sitcom themes. Maybe need to read up on CK, but I just didn't see what the big deal was.

Too much sax but what singles. Head over Heels!

Lovely. Shit cover though.

Love this, though took a while to get used to JB voice again.

Remembered this a lot more than I thought I would. Compared to what Green Day end up as this is still really enjoyable. Deep as a puddle.

A bit of a tell of when the book was released. Really? Good album though. Could do with pre-album release BANG on here

Sounds like it's sung by the Fake Rod Hull. Just can't get into shrieky dumbo rock.

Absolute cauldron of shit. I thought this was meant to be some seminal live album, but the only redeeming feature is I wasn't standing in the audience having my tits bored off in real life.

Big divorced energy.

Bit too much Queen in there, but definite power pop roots of Weezer.

The kids especially liked this one. Hardest working man in showbusiness

A really fragile thing, genuinely a good listen. Would get an extra 1/2 star for having The Vaselines if half stars were allowed in this hellscape dictatorship.

Upon fresher listening, it seems that STUPID GIRL is just about a girl that Garbage think is stupid and there's not much more going on than that. 3 stars.

Listened in the car. I bet it sounds worse if you're not moving. Cokey and not unpleasant.

Great stuff. Felt like a ghostly funk in places.

Always nice to listen to New Order. Barney Sumner's voice is just flat and crap and beautiful.

Trying not to cliche all over the place, but it always makes me feel sad listening to Nick Drake. Very evocative of a specific time and place.

Long. Angry!

Brel-liant. More obsessed with horses than I remember.

If I was Jewish my name would be Jared If I was Muslim my name would be Ibrahim If I was Catholic, my name would be... CHRIS! Loved this, never heard of it before.

I think I liked this more after finding out a bit about it, but put me in mind of a jumble sale Tomorrow Never Knows for a whole album.

Exactly what it sounds like.

Bang average.

More Rm Than I expected, never done this before.

Bruuuuuuuuuce

Too smooth. Yuck. Like a barbie crotch.

Never heard of it, absolutely loved it. So weird and all over the place. Knocks Sade I to a cocked hat.
