1001 Albums Summary

Ok I just started listening and wow there is a lot of accordion in this first song... I thought it was alright but world music aint my favorite. Overall the politics of the album and its use of South African musical influences during a time of boycotting the apartheid state is far more interesting to me than the actual songs themselves sorry gen x! this one is just ok!

she happiness on my warm gun until I bang bang shoot shoot

this album is a nice foray into well-worn melancholy, like pulling out your box of old sweaters from the attic on that first crisp autumn morning. It's brooding and dismal at times, but earnest enough that I think it avoids overtly angsty melodrama. I'm a big fan of The Jesus and Mary Chain but hadn't listened to this album all the way through before, and I really enjoyed it! Favorite songs: Darklands, April Skies, Fall

I find the lead singer's voice way too nasally and whiny, which is a shame because otherwise I think I would like this more. But at the same time I really don't think it's doing anything that exciting.... If I was hosting a kinda grunge house party these are the kind of songs I would use as filler in the playlist just because they fit the vibe. But I don't ever see myself seeking them out specifically.

it alright
