1001 Albums Summary

Some undeniable bangers but not enough variety across the album

Possibly worth 5 stars with a few more listens but great from start to finish

Badly dated humour detracts from solid rapping and production

The pixies at their best

Begins well but songs soon become fairly tepid

Gloomy and dirgey, maybe a bit dark for a summer's day

Peak Kanye West never better but could possibly have been slightly shorter

Some good tracks but some slower ones drag

Sounds a bit like Bob Dylan in places but not as interesting

Great power pop, unmistakably produced by Jon Brion

Some good stuff if a little overly shouty for a full album

Don't dislike it but certainly need to be in the right mood to fully enjoy

So many ideas crammed into the whole thing, influenced such a wide variety of artists in the following years it's hard to listen back and feel quite how much of an impact it would go on to have

Feels slightly dated now but still a great album

Yeehaw! 3 stars

4 stars
