1001 Albums Summary

There’s plenty of songs off this album you recognize, but past those ones, I found the album a little bland and repetitive. I understand The Killers have a style, like all bands, but this album just doesn’t do it for me. Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine is my all time fav off the album, though.

Prefacing everything I’m about to write by saying that this was a STRONG start to this music challenge. The bar has been set, and It’s definitely pretty damn close to the ceiling. Anyways, Calling Sister was the perfect start to this album. Mixed really well through headphones and I really enjoyed the techno / dark funk feeling. China Girl was by far my absolute favourite song. So much emotion, the chimes in the song, agh. After reading the history of the album, I absolutely hear David Bowie in this. Some of the songs could have a bit of fat trimmed off, such as the final song of the album. Otherwise, the album itself was a great listen. I have never given Iggy Pop much of a chance, but after this, I definitely will be adding to my playlists.
