1001 Albums Summary

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

Didn't want to skip songs but also not thinking of a replay either. 3/5

The Doors by The Doors

A bit meandering, wild howls of a man in pain/ ecstasy. 4 stars

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

First two opening songs are stronger than the rest of the album, if they kept up that ferocity it would be an undeniably sublime album

The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow

One of my least listened to elbow albums, not entirely sure why though

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

Depeche mode is one of those bands I have been meaning to listen to, I was not disappointed

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes

Didn't get the hype the first time around, they're good but not great.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan

Bob needs an editor and to take a breath.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

absolute balls of steel, a hilarious live album

Hunting High And Low by a-ha

More than just a song that has somehow escaped becoming a meme

Blunderbuss by Jack White

Still don't really care for Jack's voice or words

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Half super catchy, the other half acceptable. Some real gems in here.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra

Frank has a great voice, songs are catchy but a tad repetitive

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors

Really nothing to say on this one, didn't grab or hold my attention
