1001 Albums Summary

I was wrong about this one. Way different than I expected. A nice mix of 60’s and 70’s inspired ballads and some harder songs.

Jazzy beats with light-hearted and often (sometimes too often) goofy lyrics. “Passin’ Me By” and “Ya Mama” are standout tracks. The interludes are automatic skips.

Interesting, but a little too experimental for my tastes.

Fun, upbeat prog rock. The songs blend together at times, but are all enjoyable. Great instrumental track (“YYZ”) too.

Complex, rhythmic, and energetic as hell. A great listen, although no track really stands out to me as being too unique or different from the others. Freaking awesome album art for 1988 too.

Amy had talent, no doubt, but her style isn’t really my cup of tea.

I was expecting something more along the lines of Iron Maiden, but this album was more punk than heavy metal.

Hints of Dinosaur Jr, but without the virtuosic guitar riffs. Not a bad listen, but not all that remarkable either.

Not particularly deep by any means, but a hell of a lot of fun. Kind of like Journey on speed, but with F-bombs.

The massive variety of songs and musical styles makes the tension in the band at the time crystal clear.

A bit tedious and boring. It kind of amazes me that there was enough demand for two sequels to this album.

A solid album from the golden period of the mid to late 90s where electronic music was at its most fun, melodic, and adventurous.
