1001 Albums Summary

Little Umbrellas was kind of cool, but not for me

Every rolling stones album seems to be a couple of the greatest songs ever written, and a handful of basic blues tracks that would be done better by your local bar band.

Killer, I think their best early work. Going from Since I've been Loving You, with an incredible vocal performance from Plant, to the groove and riff of Out On The Tiles. Hat's off to Roy Harper is the weak point on the album, would be better not as the final track.

"Around the World" kicks off the album hard. Great opener. I would love to see a remix/remaster of this album, because it's peak "loudness wars" - just very little dynamic range, even though there's opportunities for it in the songwriting. Just a killer album though, everyone on top of their game. Chad Smith can hold down a groove.

Better than expected but I'm still not a Leonard Cohen fan. First we take manhattan is good, others felt forgettable to me.

Luckie - song is kind of all over the place. Great vocals, but a lot of changes All the songs are similar - almost like a free-form approach to time and changes. Hard to hook onto a melody, it changes so quickly. Feels like listening to stream of consciousness songwriting. Really not digging it.

Still a great album. Great performances, and even though I did get sick of the songs when it was new, they still hold up after not listening for a while.

Still impressed that they managed to make a whole career with a single guitar sound. Really got a lot of mileage out of a 12 string rickenbacker. Some great tracks, some forgettable ones.

Actually much better than anticipated. Wasn't expecting the West Side Story quotations.

Basically a bonus Steely Dan album

This was great. David Gilmore screams on a couple of tracks, neat mix of 80s sounds with traditional Irish instruments, loved it. Will listen to again for sure

Classic East coast hip hop. Some good grooves, some good lines, very mellow.

Perfect album, really.

Better than I remember, TBH. GimmeSomeTruth is a personal highlight.

Solid bowie. Should listen to this more, some good tunes.
