1001 Albums Summary

Incoherent and all over the place, but it makes for a fun listen. The playfulness is felt through the songs, which are mostly individually strong. The runtime is long, but the wide palette of sounds prevents the album from being a drag to listen to. Favs: Dear Prudence, Martha My Dear, I Will, Helter Skelter, Revolution 9

The overall aesthetic is not for me, but I can appreciate a lot of the sound design. Some of the outros are a bit too long. Second half is way stronger than the first half. Favs: Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth, Blue Dress

Did not enjoy that much. This genre is not for me, and this is probably not the best entry point to get into the band. I enjoyed the more free playing more than the bluesy stuff. The playing is obviously great. Favs: You Don't Love Me, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

Great vocal performances and production. Favs: Piece of my Heart, Ball and Chain

Guitars, lyrics and songwriting all on point. Favs: The Queen Is Dead, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, Bigmouth Strikes Again
