1001 Albums Summary

I suck at rating but I'll say this was very *alright*. I was expecting something much heavier for some reason. But instead it kind of sounded like something I'd hear my more post-hardcore-y friend play when we're jamming together. TBF, it's probably BECAUSE of albums like this that it sounds so "generic" to me. It's like when people say they don't like Seinfeld because so many sitcoms have ripped off/been inspired by Seinfeld since then. I bet lots of albums and bands have ripped off/been inspired by this album.

The singer has a distinct type of British accent that I feel like I don't hear very often in music. Cool intro for The Calvary Cross. Like that eastern sounding scale and am a sucker for tremolo guitar. The title track so far is pretty cool and I could see it being a hit today in certain indie scenes. Though maybe without the (mellotron?) horn? I don't dislike the horn but it makes it feel a bit more of its time and not contemporary. Which is fair since it isn't a modern tune.
