1001 Albums Summary

Easily a 4/5. Dave Grohl on drums gets it an additional point alone, but there's some cool genre switching in here along with a couple of dark concept songs. Totally forgot how much of an absolute banger Lithium is. Near perfect.

I too, am an air conditioned gypsy.

Kind of fun! Liked the motown/honky tonk vibe to it. It didn't hold my full attention and I found it mildly enjoyable rather than a proper set of anthems

Reminded me of my grandparents. Love the live sound, and felt a little festive.

Very cool. It sounded cool. I'd put this on if I owned a record shop and had to run inventory while opening the store and warming up the espresso machine. Enjoyable, but mainly for the vibes.

Too happy? I mean I know this must be incredible when performed live but I just... didn't vibe with it at all.

Not a fan of the keyboard solos

A total vibe. Slightly-samey but it's cool hearing a bit of a melding of late-Nirvana and early-Foos. You can hear him slowly stepping away from the grunge-steeped 90s into full on 2000's American rock

Ok, it's very good. Like The Who but way more psychedelic and interesting. The actual musicality is great, but as a preference, since playing piano, guitar and bass for a bunch of years, I've weirdly grown to hate keyboard solos, open chords on electroacoustic guitars and slap bass. This has all of those things in abundance - even which the literal perfect levels of distortion and cool as fuck opening track. So while I want to give it more stars, I physically cannot.
