1001 Albums Summary

Stranger lyrics and themes than I thought, tight beats and impeccable vibes

Not the worst, not my favorite. I loved the singles when they were released, wasn't much into the rest of the album. Not much has changed.

Very Radiohead sounding album, they are clearly exploring the sounds and landscape they created. By not going beyond the bounds of their own country, I didn't find much to be memorable from the album.

Really wonderful album, some great grooves, perfect for flow state. Will be returning to this one.

The album that took the sub-genre and made it the genre.

Completely original sound for the time, full of emotion but not mopey. The influence of Morrissey (and this album) extends well beyond his records.

One of the very best state-based albums and also one of the best indie albums. #1 state-based indie album.

Background alt rock, unoffending noise, some lyrical one-liners you might remember but not much more

Classic 80's radio rock from a musical icon. Not my cup of tea, but I wouldn't mind a relisten every once again again.

This album is ingrained into my youth. Countless nights falling asleep listening to this CD on my Walkman. After this album came out, I remember everyone wanting to be in a 3-piece punk rock band. The level of humor and crudeness was perfect for Middle school, as well as the quasi-profoundness of some of the lyrics as very few of us had ever had a girlfriend or relationship. Cannot rate this high enough regarding the impact it has had on my life.

Proto punk, not my jam but nice to have in the catalog for reference

Couldn't get into it

Great voice, probably over produced, much more prefer the slower and jazzier stuff

Generational band. With this performance being their emotional peak, they transform even the known lyrics of another group into another world where we all can visit and quietly reflect on our own life. All time top.

A glimpse into a formative moment from another world outside my own. Well done with the theme carried neatly throughout. Several bangers I already have in rotation, but likely would put this full album on one a year or every other year.
