1001 Albums Summary

Nice acid rock and blues fusion. Very cool Janis Joplin. Would rate 4.4 stars but I am only able to deal in absolutes.

Every song on this album sounded ‘fine’. It was produced well, but outside of 1 or two songs of his hour long album, I was left with a lack of substance.

Not something i’d listen to in my free time but you can’t deny it’s an electric performance. The tracks Try Me and I’ll Go Crazy really encapsulate this albums tantalizing mix of RnB and Soul.

are you kidding me?? a worldly journey through quintessential 80s pop. gabriel’s fusion of african and brazilian percussion mixed with that classic 80s electronic sound leaves me absolutely salivating. The bass section on sledgehammer had me doing something unspeakable. The quiet ardous journey of Mercy street had me like a child without a blanket. Need i even say anything about In your eyes? I mean just spit in my mouth already.

Impossible to deny the straights ability to shred. Each track carries its own instrumentally. Unfortunately the monotonous vocals leave me feeling unsatisfied with the songs as a whole.

Extremely smooth, definition of easy listening.

not in my top 3 radiohead albums. Took me a while to come around to the very punchy avant-garde sounds throughout many of the tracks. All I need is in my top 7 radiohead songs though so gets a bump for that.

Fan of iron maiden, not a fan of this album.

Pretty weird album, liked it but didn’t love it. Ahead of its time, ahead of me.

Sufjan absolutely knows his sound. One of those albums where if you like one track you’ll like them all. Chicago and Casimir pulaski day are absolute emotional rollercoasters. Would surely be a 5/5 without all the filler instrumental tracks.
