1001 Albums Summary

Blister in the sun is an iconic tune with a pavilion toe tapping quality. The album over all is fairly solid, I prefer the more upbeat songs. The album wouldn't be a regular repeat for me, but I appreciate it.

Not my vibe at all

One of the main influences in early punk bands and hair metal bands, this album ran so others like "Nevermind the Bollocks" by Sex Pistols and "Appetite for Destruction" by Guns n Roses could takeover their scene. Some great riffs on the album and you can see where other bands have taken influence from them. There's a couple of songs that don't make as much of a mark as others but my only complaint is that they were apparently a massive influence on Morrissey, and I fucking hate Morrissey 😅

Dull and one note.

An absolute product of its time 😅 I find most of the instruments/effects a bit too zany to make the album a good listen. Gets a pass though because faith is a bop.

Fairly dry, the mix can be a bit weird making the instruments a lot louder than they should be.

A key album in the American wave of punk. An early gateway into what would later become hardcore music. This album brings back so many memories from playing skating games as a kid. Rise above might be one of the best American punk songs, no questions asked.

2/5 just because I like the title track 😅

An important album in both punk history and Irish music history. Teenage kicks is one of the most flawless pop punk songs ever written and the rest of the album is just as strong!
