1001 Albums Summary

I gave it a go, didn’t leave much of an impression besides the air of coolness that comes with listening to French language stuff (I don’t speak French)

This is long and feels long. Still the very good tracks are very very good (Midnight City / Waut). Rest are no comparison.

Like a tech demo that he’ll come back to later to add the sizzle

I’m enjoying that very ‘90s’ sound that is hard to describe It’s the way the tune the guitars or what pedals they use or something completely different maybe. It’s like a lost technique. Perhaps recording equipment has advanced to far to ever be able to replicate it. Probably the original stuff is buried in some liminal space

I know the are called Heart, have the soft focus picture as the cover and have a love heart into parts of it…but I was still expecting it to be heavier. I’m sure they have heavier songs elsewhere otherwise I’ve got them mixed right up with someone else.

The first four track were pretty dull and drippy but then Cool, Kind and Lemon Eyes must be my brainwashing activator words because it was like a different much more interesting varied surprising album from that. Not sure how to rate it yet Not sure whether I should go back and give those first four a second chance or just leave it a a weird quirk 3.5 rounded down

I think I complained about a Kanye album by saying that his vocal track was completed disconnected to the music itself…yet I really this for that exact reason, like the music was just there to try contain him and distract him occasionally before he blasts off into another flow. I guess I just don’t like Ye. Was only sparsely aware of Aesop Rocks so this was great as a proper introduction. 4 stars.

Almost certainly the style at the time but everything here sounds like it has so much effects and sweetening applied that it sounds very artificial Saying that, the underlying sway along beats are decent
