1001 Albums Summary

Some great songs. Some not so great songs. Pretty good rainy day listening.

A couple recognizable tunes a couple boring tracks. Not a perfect album but a fun listen.

Strong vocals and groovy basslines kept my toes tapping all the way through. Stand up was a favorite on my first listen through. The album loses steam towards the end and lost me a bit in the last 2 songs.

Sometimes list makers are wrong but I guess I'll listen anyways. U2 reminds me of cabbge. The excessive use of audio effects makes the songs take up space and seem like they'll leave you full but instead leave you hungry. Could Bono sound any less enthusiastic than on Even Better Than The Real Thing?

I enjoy some hip hop every now and again but how on earth is this album on the 1001 list? Almost every song on this album sounds like it was written produced and performed by and for children. Extremely basic, repetitive rhythms and a whiny voice don't make for very good music. I was halfway through my second listen before I realized that I'd heard the songs once before.

Yawn....
