1001 Albums Summary

A good sound but get pretty repetitive after a while. A few good tracks but I definitely couldn't remember them distinctly

Never been a fan of Massive Attack. Their lilting/dragging style makes me search for the 'skip' button every time they come up in a shuffle. Pass.

The hits on this record were hits for a reason but a majority of the album falls flat. Every piano part plays like a buildup to nothing, Clarence Clemons' sax seems to speak in only one dialect with no variation to compliment the mood of the different tracks While the band were certainly reaching for something grand from start to finish, it's generally a wall of sound and fairly indistinguishable between tracks. It was alright but I probably won't queue this album up again out of choice.

If this is the best he has to offer on a "1001 albums you must hear before you die", I feel vindicated in not expressing interest in Nick Cave up to this point.

Thom Yorke's vowels-only caterwauling will never qualify as singing

Even without lyrics, the Allman Brothers Band know how to tell a story.

Every song sounds the same. I've walked back and forth from my stereo a few times and wondered if the album is repeating or if I'm on the same track.
