1001 Albums Summary

Entertained from start to finish. A few moments of repetitiveness but it seems like in every instance they pull themselves out with either a spectacular hook melody or they shake you out of it with a huge jolt of energy. Loved almost every moment. Only a couple “filler” tracks, but they were still pretty good. It sounded like a band that were playing around, having fun, and developing their sound.

Very sparse but not necessarily minimalistic. Completely different vocalization than I expected. Good tones throughout just not enough for me. Interesting subtle placement of guitar and organ. It seemed like the same or similar lyrical and vocal patterns throughout which made it a little boring.

Unexpectedly bright and whimsical album. A couple duds. A couple bangers.

Terrific. I can’t say that I listen to a lot of soul music. Listening to this entire album may change that. Awesome band and backing vocals. LOVE that the instruments are mixed up. All bangers.

Let’s give credit where credit is due. These guys laid the groundwork for bands, like the Clash. However, The Clash did it better. Much much better. It’s painfully obvious that they ripped the Jam off LOL! But it’s just not exciting for me. Bland vocals and the hooks are not hooky enough.

Terrible

Really entertaining album. There were a few spots that sounded off. Maybe a song or two just didn’t match the vibe of the album as a whole. Deeply melancholic lyrics with little glimpses of hope. Not that it’s a bad thing, just worth noting.
