1001 Albums Summary

Not the first time I've listened to this album, but the first time in a while. Striking how different the sound is from some of the ladder Beatles works and also how similar some of the songs are to the Rubber Soul era works.

This one was released when I was in 4th grade, I think. So, I'd listened to it before, but not as much as some of R.E.M.'s later work, which I thoroughly enjoyed in junior and senior high school.

One of my favorite concept albums from start to finish. While I was reared listening to classic rock on the radio dial, I didn't really appreciate Pink Floyd until the evening I graduated high school and I heard Comfortably Numb while I was being driven home following a late night celebration. Been hooked ever since.

Somehow perfectly captures the prevalence of digital beats and great songwriting of the turn of the century.

I guess I made a mistake by always just sticking to the radio hits of this album. Pretty cool snapshot of glam rock in the early 70s, that I definitely plan to revisit in the years ahead.

Quintessential 90s Britpop.
