1001 Albums Summary

I reviewed most of the songs individually. I liked the album as the whole, but it wasn’t anything crazy IMO. Just several solid songs in a row. Finest Worksong Good classic rockish song with “your finest hour” getting repeated like a billion times. Also glockenspiel 😍 Welcome to the Occupation country vibes??? Anti-govt I think. Anti-work very much so. Big fan I think. Exhuming McCarthy more anti-establishment stuff and general rock talking about the corporatization of America. Disturbance at the Heron House A story about a protest at Heron House, whatever that may be. It’s not very detailed but it is what it is. Talking about craziness too. Need to google some context for this later. Strange Talking of a weird occurrence. I think something bad because of the line “keep your eyes glued to the floor”. Makes me think dictatorship. It’s the End of the World as We Know It banger song, but also a song about the current issues in the 1980s that talks about the apathy related to the slow destruction/changing of both the planet and humanity as the world is reshaped by globalization and industry. The One I Love goofy ahh love song… never mind it’s about civil disobedience.
