My 1001 Albums Journey

Garbage

2/5

Starts off interestingly, before getting pretty mundane and monotonous. "Stupid Girl" gives a good break from the self-loathing and angst. The chorus of "Fix Me Now" is also a welcome break from the monotony. Wouldn't listen to this again.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Great album, the title track is just a pure classic. The opening track is brilliant. It is probably a 3.6 from me, purely because I think it would have made a better single disc album, so rounded up to 4.

Tommy

The Who

2/5

I appreciate this is an important, landmark, album. However, the overall story was difficult to invest in. Sure, there are some decent tracks. Most notably "The Pinball Wizard". But, it comes across as an album of self-indulgence. The importance of the album saves it from a 1 star rating.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

2/5

Opening track offered promise, but by track three it all became repetitive lyrically and musically. The final track was great. 2.2/5
