1001 Albums Summary

Andrew: Nice! 7/10

One decent track (Lately) One classic (Unfinished Sympathy) The rest are very of their time. Not my bag. 4/10

Not as bad as expected given, you know, it’s fucking Morrisey. Last night I dreamt and I won’t share you both decent. Early Radiohead might have taken a bit of something from this. 5/10

Perfect Day and Take a Walk on the Wild Side are by far the best thing about this album. Weirdly sounds like either Bowie or show tunes for the rest of it. Vicious for the former, Goodnight Ladies for the latter. Not sure how I feel about it over all. If it wasn’t for the two classic songs, I think I’d hate it - his voice grates. In fact, this has made me dislike the only Lou Reed songs I already knew. 3/10

It’s 50 minutes of U2 noises. First 3 tracks are very recognisable so they’ve got that going for them. It’s fine. People love to bash them, but they just fail to elicit any emotion. This is the first album from the list that I forgot I was listening to … feels like absolute radio is just on in the background. Tepid: 4/10

So…! This album is good. However! The first song … originally named Intro… is, for me, a high that the other tracks don’t reach and a tease that the album doesn’t deliver on. It’s all crescendo and no pay off. Fantasy and infinity are both tracks I really liked but nothing culminated in anything, just as a lot of tracks promised to. All this being said… this is a new band I’d never heard before somehow. I like their vibe and they feel real. 6/10

Classic Incubus. Weird listening back to a whole album after such a long time - some of it seems a bit a bit twee almost! Like the rock/rap combo - feel like they were a precursor to Linkin Park. Battlestar Scralatchia is proper funky! Not heard it for a long time. Think Morning View is probably the better album, but this sums them up nicely.

A little of its time and not really my thing, but her voice is great and Son of a Preacher Man is an absolute banger! 5/10

Funky!

Great little 7-track album with Born on the Bayou, Proud Mary and a cover of Little Richard’s Good Golly Miss Molly. Definitely a little samey - but sticking this on in the background is a great 30 mins! Keep on Chooglin’ is an awesome 7 mins of bluesy, chilled jam session. 8/10

Master of puppets and Orion are great!

Great album! I ain’t the one is a new one for me - really enjoyed it! 8/10

Gentle album that does well at a certain, coffee shop / lounge ambiance. I Sleep Alone was a highlight for me but it’s not overly for me. 5/10

I had this down as the sound of 80s rock so I’m a little surprised to see it’s a 70s album. You can feel and hear the talent but it’s just not for me. 4/10

Nice, easy listening country blues, rock album. Nothing spectacular here. 5/10

Hard work. Too many words for each sentence and signing really needs to be more than shouting! Weird as I love Red Right Hand in Into My Arms but I can’t find anything redeemable here. First one I haven’t put any tracks onto my ‘favourites’ list from. 2/10

Amazing album. Slightly weak opening couple of tracks but it picks up and doesn’t stop from Spanish Castle Magic onwards. 9/10

One of my favourite albums of all time. 10/10

Too synthy!

Lots of nostalgia. Very chilled album. 7.5/10
