1001 Albums Summary

*First time hearing* Fantastic production and musicianship. Walter Becker was a wonderful guitarist, his playing is super precise and satisfying. Don't know what to make of the majority of the lyrics, but I was usually too caught up in the groove to care too much. You can hear the influence it might have had on a whole bunch of bands (Phish, Ween etc ). I quite enjoyed most tracks individually, but it didn't click for me as a whole on the first listen (like Aja), however that very well could change upon repeated listening.

There's a hell of a lot of youthful energy on this album. A lot of post-punk/post-new wave elements in the instrumentation which I enjoy. Probably my favourite guitar and bass playing of the U2 albums I've heard. It feels like they were still experimenting a lot, and some of it is really interesting (The Refugee, Red Light), but not all of it hits. I like a lot of it though. I didn't think there were any really weak tracks, but some don't feel fully realised. Overall a pretty strong album.

Fucking banger.

Might be the most danceable album ever made.

One of my favourite Bowie albums.

I know they don't have a lot of credibility these days, but I love this album.

Super fun and funny and glammy and danceable and a bit dark.

Really cool.
