1001 Albums Summary

This is the kind of music I grew up listening to and for that reason I have a bias because of overexposure. It's a good album. I'd rather listen to something else. 5/10.

Surprisingly pretty catchy songs, I wasn't familiar with any of Fagen's solo stuff. Nice to listen to but I probably wouldn't seek it out too often. Solid 6/10

Objectively pretty interesting and I think groundbreaking in some respects, but really not my thing lyrically or musically. 2/10

One part Jefferson Airplane, one part Primus. This album is boldly experimental and reminds me of a lot of music from decades later. Lyrically many of the songs rely on irony and have strong leftist themes. I really like Dorothy Moskowitz's vocals. Some of the tracks are very experimental, in that they're actually tough to listen to because of the sharp electronic riffs. That's the only thing holding this album back from being even higher. I thoroughly enjoyed it. 8/10.
