1001 Albums Summary

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

I mean, obviously "Superstition" is the most popular track on this album but I think "I Believe" is really pretty, just kind of repetitive. "Maybe Your Baby" also suffers from repetitiveness but that song would be really good if only it were half the run time.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

This album started alright, lost me in the middle, and really closed out nicely. The moodiness and creepiness was nice at times but, much like the war that the album is criticizing, it overstayed its welcome. Eventually the droning middle guts of the album became kind of boring (except for We Suck Young Blood) but the last four songs on the album were excellent (especially Myxomatosis). That all being said, pick any song on here to use as a back track to a war film criticizing the War on Terror and it will absolutely work.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

I can appreciate this for ambience while working or maybe while stuck in traffic but giving this album your full attention feels like a long two hours. This album is just far too long and really should be half the run time.
