1001 Albums Summary

Is it weird I have never heard of this band before? "And the 80s bands, oh where did they go," amiright?The coolest guitar ever. Very sexual?? Or maybe that's just an 80s vibe I'm not in on. Love love LOVED "Sharp Dressed Man," although it pales in comparison to The Smith's version if we're strictly talking songs about men wearing clothes. Thought I was really going to like "I Need You Tonight" but then it was like seven minutes long and I got bored. Legs is SO good; my favorite so far. I feel like I don't ususally listen to this type of 80s music so I'm having fun. Added every song to my playlist. 7.8/10

Terrified of the cover art but it’s kind of giving Aphex Twin. Already the guitar solo in Prowler has glued me to my seat. How is this the first track?? What is in store for me?? Okay a mellow start to Remember Tomorrow…they have RANGE. Maybe some of the songs are a bit too long. Or maybe I just don’t get it and this is how songs are supposed to be. Transylvania was an interesting choice that I think really paid off. Love the final track. Really impressive debut album in all. 8.4/10.

I'VE BEEN REALLY TRYING BABY!!!! I feel like I am being reborn. Why have I never like ever listened to Soul???? So sexual I feel like I can't listen to this in public... Like... the beginning of You Sure Love to Ball? No way that is playing on the house Sonos in front of my MOTHER. Anyways, really really good. 8.7/10

Would probably say my first jazz album!! Going in, I worried that all the songs would sound the same. As of now (the third song out of five), I am pleasantly surprised. Loving bass guitar (??) near the end of Ba-lue Bolivar Ba-lies-ar. If only I knew what the title meant. Also really really liking the xylophone (???) on Pannonica. Is that a xylophone. If anything at all comes from this whole challengée hopefully it will be an ability to recognize instruments in songs.

There are a lot of people in this band! Not at ALL what I thought this album was going to sound like, I'll be honest. Love the first track. The end of Turkish Song of the Damned sounds like a renaissance fair (but in a good way?). What genre is this? Are they British? Apparently its Celtic Folk Punk and they are in fact British. Insane vibe switch from Bottle of Smoke to Fairytale of New York. I actually already had this song on THE ULTIMATE. Just wanted to say. Really beautiful Christmas duet though. Wait did they just say the f-slur?? Metropolis sounds like a Welsh spy movie (surely such a thing exists, right?). Thousands Are Sailing might be my favorite track yet. Halfway through and feeling like it might be a bit long. Worms could have and should have been cut. Liked this though pretty fun. Feels like a culture I am not apart of and know nothing about.
