1001 Albums Summary

I hadn't spent much time listening to Dusty Springfield before this, outside of her songs popping up in shows and movie soundtracks. She had a hell of a voice. It feels weird rating an album for this project that's entirely covers? But as I understand it, she didn't really think of herself as a songwriter, so maybe it makes sense. Definitely an enjoyable album tho.

In recent years U2 has become such an annoying presence - my last experience of them was being INFURIATED that they nonconsensually deposited one of their albums on my phone - so it's nice to be reminded that they once put out really stellar work like this! It's hard for me to be objective since this album was omnipresent for my middle/high school days, but they do such an excellent job of gradually building and layering sound in a really satisfying way. Love this one. Not a bad song on it.
