1001 Albums Summary

Yes! Let's Go! To my ears probably the best and most important 30 minutes of music ever put to tape.

First two songs are class. Really strong opening. Gets a bit ponderous and proggy for me after that.

I see from the reviews that the jug sounds split a room. Ha! I thought it was brilliant if a bit dated. Unreal singing, great garagey sound to the music. Yup yup

Ah my first Beatles album of this review thang. First of many I'm sure. I hadn't listened to the earlier albums before really. The lads have got the Brit-poppy thing down at this stage. Great songwriting, just lacking the depth that you know comes later. Though songs like And I Love Her give some key indicators of the genius that's to come. But you can't deny those hits, Hard Days Night, Can't Buy Me Love. But And I Love Her i had never heard before. Beautiful song.

Don't need to listen to this one right now during a rare Irish summers day. But this is on heavy Autumn/Winter rotation in my house. One of the best albums ever. Top 10 for me. When that bass hits in Plainsong, my god! The rest of the album just flows from there. I see a lot of reviews saying this album is depressing. This album is a lot of things, shimmering, sad, euphoric, melancholic but depressing it aint. Now Pornography, there's a Cure album that is pure drudging depression. I'll give this another whirl once the rain starts. I'm sure that'll be by the end of the week.

Started really strong. Lost it's way halfway through. I'm sure they were a great band to see live with a few pints. But was there any need for 6 minute cover versions of Shakin All Over and Louie Louie

Ah Incubus, or as i like to call them, shitty SilverChair. I hated them in the late 90s/early 00s and it hasn't aged well since then.

Too 80s for me.

The fucking French! The music is class 4/5 The concept is ass 0/5

Fun album.
