1001 Albums Summary

The whole album sounds like Blitzkrieg Bop and Judy is a Punk. If you’re in the mood for that, listen to this album. Fergus came running in with his rope, so he loves this album’s danceability.

I mean, come on.

Great acoustic album, super mellow, and fun. Me and Julio down by the schoolyard…

Some fun, trippy jams, and their big hit: “I’ve seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I’m on my way”

Just can’t get down with David Byrne’s voice…

Smoky, easy listening, jazzy. Equally at home in a cocktail lounge or a dentist‘s office. “Don’t know why“ is the only song I knew going in, same coming out… Overall, I feel chill after this album.

A classic

If this album was playing in the background of a dive bar, I would nod with the beat and enjoy it just fine, but I would probably think it was the Grateful Dead back catalog. Totally serviceable, like a cold highlife. The exception is “the weight“, ubiquitous hit that says, “take a load off Fanny“. BTW, “put the load right on me” is the title of your sex tape.

Teen girl dance pop, not really my thing.

I just can’t get into Thom York’s voice, it feels like a theremin. Quavering. Makes me feel itchy inside. The craft is acknowledged, not my thing.

New wave. Talking Heads/Duran Duran vibes (heavier on the former). Not loving so far.

“British soul“… Sounds like a lounge act. Warm electric piano, smooth…we used to call it “soft rock“, suitable for dental waiting rooms. Had to skip a couple songs, irritating.

Loved this whole album. Just the best anti-authority fuck you punk vibes. Police and thieves is a gem.

Beautiful album. Life on mars!
