1001 Albums Summary

made me cry, made me laugh. love bob dylan :)

an epitome of teenage angst, which is good. should’ve discovered them when i was 16, i would probably be way more enthusiastic about this. on a serious note, sonic youth’s sound is undoubtedly influential, i’ve hear so many of their imitators before i actually heard a full album of theirs, it’s crazy.

“cloud nine” and “runaway child, running wild” were definitely the highlights of the album for me. truly impressed me with their honest lyricism and experimental sound. and while i enjoyed the rest of the album, i wished it took more risks. the love songs were beautiful and filled with gorgeous harmonies but kinda blended together in the end

holy shit, this album is LONG. and it suffers from it, in my opinion. it has some truly great songs, iconic bangers and songs that i can’t even remember. also the songwriting is kinda all over the place. this album has some hard hitting lines, but also some unbearably cringy ones. and wtf was “tales of a scorched earth”? overall though i can say i enjoyed it.
