1001 Albums Summary

A few bangers, very groovy. knopfler really shines here. the issue is the songwriting (outside of a few songs) doesn't do it for me all the time. also a tad too low-energy (which could be influenced by mood on my end when i listened.) biggest disappointment, though, was that the singles were the best songs on the album

groovy, too lovey dovey

a classic!!

one day i will find the energy to write a proper review--but for now i'll say simply that biggie was a complex man who (metaphorically) poured himself onto his page. i know he didn't really write raps and is a freak that was able to work out his poetry in his head, but this album goes to many dark places and is beautifully and masterfully performed. rip

apart from the ephebophilia, this album explores interesting avenues sonically (i don't know french so i can't really critique the songwriting) and is a really nice listen. again, forgetting about the lyrics, it feels artful yet fitting to listen to drinking a glass of wine or something.

I can't believe I haven't heard this before. What an amazing sound that no doubt lays the foundation for modern indie but was also very much a product of its time: 80s dream/ambient pop full of wavy, dreamy rhythms. Loved it!!

cmon son that's a classic joint. only problem is it's a little too poppy. 4.5 stars. definitely listen to their earlier work for perfect works of art and music!

this album is simply perfection

for folks that loved this, loveless is generally regarded as their best album. this album is such a beautiful entry into the shoegaze genre with some minor hiccups in production quality.

smooth, groovy, accessible jazz. well done, fun live album

an interesting album that ultimately falls flat for me personally. but, in the context of the time i could see myself really digging them maybe with a few more listens? they're not too dissimilar to bands i'm familiar with and love from this era of alt/experimental rock

this band got me into "indie" back in the day lol

probably my second favorite from steely dan!! this or aja
