1001 Albums Summary

xx by The xx

Cool mellow sound, but overall just OK. Would listen to it in the right mood, say while reading, but prefer Sigur Ros.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

It's more pop influenced than I expected, especially in the songs that don't get radio play. There's a reason those songs don't get radio play; they aren't that good. It's a good album that is worth an occasional listen, but I strongly prefer 'Born to Run'. 'Dancing in the Dark' and 'I'm on Fire' are both well known and the best on the album easily. 'No Surrender' is less popular but pretty good.
