1001 Albums Summary

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas

not my thing but i respect it

The Wildest! by Louis Prima

Who's Next by The Who

piss album but really, this album is really good. not the best of classic work, i feel like the vocals could be better, but damn some of these songs are iconic for good reason

The Wall by Pink Floyd

I get why people would dislike this album, it is very story driven and maybe can be seen as an ego trip but this whole album lands. Comfortably Numb has one of the best solos ever written. Every song connects and transitions into one another. Mood changes throughout the album create hurricanes of sound. The whole album also creates a compelling story about the costs of social isolation and what leads to it, and how opening yourself to others frees yourself. also funny pudding and worms

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

the vocals don’t do it for me

Shleep by Robert Wyatt

The instrumentals feel like they are tripping over each other, sounds are repeated in a way that makes them obnoxious as well. For this type of stuff to work, the music has to actually sound good. Vocals don’t and instrumentals certainly don’t. Only good song is Alien.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis

Surfer Rosa by Pixies

Amnesiac by Radiohead

I really like Radiohead’s other albums, particularly OK Computer and In Rainbows. However, I feel like this record is comparatively disappointing. The instrumentals are not as interesting as in its older brother Kid A. Some parts feel more so experimental than made to be good. Thom does not really go that far in his vocals, especially compared to other albums. However, when songs hit, they do heavily. Pyramid song is a masterpiece. Mid 3.
