1001 Albums Summary

solid energetic playing but yea the blues blaccent feels more offensive the longer it goes on highs: immigrant song, out on the tiles lows: the last couple tracks

passionate and surprisingly heavy. oozes cool. that noel guy stinks up yet another great jimmi record - who keeps letting him do this?? highs: all of it lows: the noel one

Enjoyable - easy breezy. feels like it could be a grower highs: on the beach, motion pictures lows: none

Like a bleached white roman replica - perfected the form in every way and with greater emotionally resonance highs: hard to explain, soma, take it or leave it lows: mayybee trying your luck?

just one of those albums that speaks for itself. surprised by how much I loved the slower gospelly piano tracks highs: respect, soul serenade, a change is gonna come lows: nothing

if ziggy stardust was white and from a shitty town in bristol. god its really just so fucking bad highs: the whale was pretty lows: the album

brimming with heart, grace, wisdom and grit. flawless. needs to be played loud highs: everything, but the last 3 tracks flow so nicely lows: maid is a little bit pathetic/icky but ig thats the point - still enjoy it tho

i fear this is what the smiths sound like to non-smiths fans. every 80s trope but make it boring and shallow highs: first track lows: the rest

alex turner really likes america huh. its an okay album highs: standing next to me, black plant lows: nothin truly offensive

started to dig the chill oceanic vibes that came after the first 3 tracks but all in all its made-by-dads-for-dads highs: why worry lows: yeaaa coulda done without the fbombs ay

hippie, fake-deep but at least its entertainingly bad. the most heinous inclusion on this list for me so far

i like bossanova but the electronic sounds feel kinda dated to me on this one

With the addition of Fela Kuti's grooves/dynamics, Byrne goes from regular quirked up whiteboy to whiteboy goated with the sauce. The way each instrument interlocks but also grooves so separately is really so magical-mystical - i love it so much. easily the best thing the heads did. but daaamn do i wish the album ended in a more life-affirming way highlights: born under punches, pretty much the first half lowlights: maybe the backhalf bc im not always in the mood for it - still essential tho

Ironic that right after we get Remain in Light, an album that proves white guys can get funky - we get this stinker. Truly an embarrassing mess, just barely held together by the amazing work of everyone except Mr. Keidis. Highs: Give it away, suck my kiss Lows: the rest

Definitely deserves to be here. Wasn’t instantly impressive to me though - more of a grower to me

Very familiar to me. Love how poppy they take their sound on this one - so fun but doesnt lose any of their bite. Malibu could be my fave grunge song ever

I was dreading and looking forward to this one. I know that U2 is great to alot of people and I truly wanted to like it. I’m sorry It’s just so boring and Bono is trying so hard at doing absolutely nothing. I couldnt help but think Michael Hutchence sounds like a more convincing Bono after this

proud in its depravity but a bit sad to look at directly

no cynical bone in this albums body. clears the beatles version tenfold

They get better - bit hokey but very fun

immaculate production. some songs i wish ye fleshed out or gave more

the punk blueprint. no fat. all style
