1001 Albums Summary

I never really listened to New Wave. "Cities" is probably my favorite on the album. "Life During Wartime" is also weird and wild. Brian Eno co-produced this with Talking Heads. His wikipedia page said, "A self-described "non-musician", Eno has helped introduce unconventional concepts and approaches to contemporary music." You can hear that in this album.

I love it. Sometimes overwrought lyrics, but something in my high school literary magazine soul — especially "The Dangling Conversation." "Scarborough Fair"taking an old folk song as its base and making it a protest theme works better than "Silent Night / 7 o'clock news" where it feels a little "I know authors who use subtext and they're all cowards!" -Garth Merenghi. Melodies are great. Can definitely see myself returning to this.

Too British

Piano is nice but sad?

What.

Like if the Beach Boys were constantly down bad.

Good guitar work. Poor vocals. ... is this folk music?

Folk Rock Supergroup? Feels like one more member is needed.

Too British

Sad dad rock.

I know why those kids in middle school had van halen shirts now. But what's up with the ice cream man song?

Not my jam but not bad

I know why people are into them now. Everyone took a page from these guy's book.
