1001 Albums Summary

xx by The xx

Is it bad that I know the intro from fucking tiktok ? lmao overall chill and atmospheric, a bit too repetitive within and across songs 2.5/5 fav: crystalised, fantasy, night time least: heart skipped a beat

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith

Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths

i am very undecided about the singer's growls in the first two songs, whether its goofy or cool. i think that is a general feeling about this album: 'girlfriend's in a coma' ???? particularly enjoyed the chord progressions in 'death of a disco dancer' and 'last night i dreamt that somebody loved me' 'stop me if you think you've heard this one before' goes super hard too

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley

what can i say... its elvis :) positively surprised by the 'i love you because' duet, bit corny but hey let me have it 'just because' is also very fun. not the biggest fan of the style but probably iconic and important for pop music history idk

Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor by Lupe Fiasco

i like: just might be ok daydreamin' hurt me soul american terrorist also whenever the lyrics did get into my brain, it was touching and honestly many based takes (in hurt me soul)

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello

liked: alison (before hearing lyrics lmao) red shoes watching the detectives fun and groovy album
