1001 Albums Summary

Always gonna love some moody 80s synth pop. Some strong tracks like Never Let Me Down & interesting arrangements like agent orange but also some others that feel almost clunky and simplistic?! V atmospheric though

Prefer Kendrick’s most recent stuff but this is such strong debut - tracks like money trees, swimming pools etc just classics and so good now

Very good. Great song writing of course. But as I usually do with this era. had to skip a few tracks which were too ‘jangley’ Like ‘wah wah’.

Ok I know I’m not going to want listen to this album regularly, but like most of Kendrick’s stuff I find myself really with this album. Just feels so detailed and moves in unexpected ways with the jazz elements and spoken word etc. maybe would be good live…. It’s a 3.5

Lovely stuff. Classics, but enjoyed the whole album more than I’d imagined. Beautiful storytelling.

I just really really enjoyed this. I was surprised cos I haven’t really got on with Bowie previously but this is just lovely, Souly, great vibe

Enjoyable, good vibe. Quite samey

Gets some points for Buffalo Stance and Manchild, but quite irritating listen

Felt this deserved several listens and it got better each time. Delish instrumentation & arrangements. Highlight - Life’s What You Make It.

Not really my thing. I’m sure quite fun to see live at the time b

Iconic. Such a cohesive, classy record and every song feels timeless. And captures heartbreak and pain so beautifully. Still would say that Frank wins though….

I mean, great. But also could do without maxwell silver hammer and the octopus one. Still gets 5
