1001 Albums Summary

Didn't realise that bad company were more of a soft rock vibe, I'd always thought of them as a punk band which is clearly wrong. It's not something I will listen to again but not because it's bad by any means it's just not my kind of thing. It feels like a very old school romantic, nostalgic album about love, could get played at a high school dance (70's). And then "Movin' On" started and it feels far less lovey and more blues inspired. Didn't realise they were British. I was not expecting a song about seagulls either. Even less so as the finale.

Honestly the singles are probably the best part of this album for me. What was pioneering to me at the time of release, granted I was 13/14, is now a bit stale, repetitive, and cliche. That's not to say I don't enjoy it, I just think the best bits are the singles, it's very representative of the year it was released in. The lyrics have a northern charm and wittiness, the guitar tones have that standard 2006-indie-tone, and the drums are punchy to tie it all in. It's like getting pissed down the pub with your mates.
