1001 Albums Summary

Enjoyed it more than I expected. Weird, but listenable. The vibe: "a bunch of friends got tipsy, broke into a recording studio, and made whatever the hell they wanted." Starts loud and bombastic, but slides into dreamscape when the buzz wears off.

If you want a cowboy to sing stories to you, it's hard to do better than Marty Robbins. If you want anything else that isn't that, you're out of luck.

Every song is distinct and memorable. Never boring. Just, not every song works for me.

Look, noise, dissonance, distortion, horrible grating unlistenable garbage, can all be an effective tools in the right context, but they can't be the entire album.

I mean, it's fine. A bit dull. The production technique of "every mic is slightly too hot" for that vintage sound started to wear on me by the end.
