1001 Albums Summary

Oracular Spectacular by MGMT

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

Masterpiece. No notes.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

Great musicianship and dig the funk and political lyrics. The hits are classics, of course, but Sex Machine is a slog and half the album.

Low-Life by New Order

Not my jam. Love Vigilantes is the standout and that’s just a marginal 80’s pop song. I admit I’m not a synth fan but it did hit me with some 80’s nostalgia. I wish we could do 1/2 stars because then I’d give this 21/2.
