1001 Albums Summary

A really enjoyable record! Loved the late 80’s east coast hip hop vibes lots of cool samples. A bit too long for repeat listens but I really enjoyed the back half of the album 😊 Definitely will be adding a few tunes into my playlists Highlight: me myself and I

Really enjoyable indie record definitely the kind of record that takes you to a different place! Lots going on I definitely feel like I need to give it another spin to fully “get it”. Love the cover art too makes reminds me of anime and 50’s b movies. Without researching I definitely feel like there is an overarching concept but would need to listen again to be sure! I love the creativity with lots of crazy delays and synths throughout the album held together by a great drum sound. The vocals might turn some people off but i didn’t mind them they vary from being very intimate/delicate to wide/ethereal. Song wise the back half of the album is where it’s at for me I especially loved the bass synth and drum delay effects in its summertime and the anthemic feel to do you realise?? Some serious songwriting chops on display there! I feel like overall the length is great and no track overstays it’s welcome! Will definitely give this another full listen in the future (in fact I’m already listening to a few tunes off of it while writing this haha) My highlight: Do you realize??

Cool album! Pretty mellow considering I was expecting an all out rock and roll album. You can hear that when you get to the live bonus tracks on the 2006 remaster they definitely sound rockier. Solid group of songs and flows quite nicely! Highlight Hot blue and righteous

Classic! Love the work between Michael and Quincy Jones! Great songwriting and incredible production make for a timeless album 😊

Couldn’t really get into it

Underrated new order record!
