1001 Albums Summary

This isn’t necessarily my style of music, and I’m also a little freaked out by the length, but let’s see how this goes. Holy cow But Not For Me is an absolutely stunning ballad with an outstanding vocal from Ella. So far from the first few songs I’m running into the issue I expected, which is that this isn’t my genre and I’m struggling to distinguish between the different songs. Ok Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off is pretty damn funny admittedly.

Easy 4 stars Pros: Outstanding musicianship throughout the entire album, which is used to come up with both some killer guitar lines and some of the most unsettling atmospheres you’ll here in music, which is further accentuated by some outstanding production, the album gets much more intense and enjoyable around the mid portion of it, Ian Curtis’ voice perfectly fits the vibe they are going for Cons: I tend to dislike albums that are this nihilistic, and while it doesn’t bug me quite as much here as elsewhere, it’s still a bit weird in spots, and I don’t think their lyricism is anywhere near the level of their musical ability Fav Track: New Dawn Fades
