1001 Albums Summary

"Take it away! Take it away!" Super abrupt start which makes sense for punk! It starts to pick up around Beverly Hills. Back Against the Wall opening is very fun! Honestly not my favourite listen, but I could imagine it would be sick live

I'm listening to music, but I can't say I'm enjoying it. The instrumental is fun but I just cannot get behind Elvis vocals, nor the typical 'fade-out' style of ending the songs which are so unfortunately used. I am happy music has moved on.

Wonderful album! I've listened to it before so re-listening is a treat. Comedic, fun, entertaining - it's a fantastic and classic album that makes you just want to bounce. Top Picks: Eye Know Ghetto Thang Tread Water Say No Go

"Do you promise to Funk?" This is so typically 70s I'm kinda obsessed with it! Top Picks One Nation Under A Groove Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock? Promentals**tbackwashpsychosis Enema Squad (The Doodoo Chasers) P.E. Squad/Doodoo Chasers ("going all the way off") A Strong 3.5!

A beautiful album that has been a gateway for me to Jazz, perfect to relax to, read to, enjoy life to. Top Picks: Part of a Whole The Big Apple Inner Crisis Nomali Maesha Honestly so so enjoyable and a great listen - 5!

Didn't really know what to expect going into this, once again another artist I had heard so much about but never delved into. Starting mellow and soft, I found 'Tell Me Why' charming and warm, but the slower more subtle songs weren't just as appealing. An enjoyable listen :) Top Picks: Tell Me Why Southern Man Don't Let it Bring You Down When You Dance I Can Really Love Probably evens out to a 3

I will never pass up an opportunity to listen to Fetch The Bolt Cutters. A godsend of an album that never fails to delight the ears. Apple at her best with avant garde and beautiful music. It saddens me to see the 'classic rock' fans who dismiss her lyrics as trivial, clearly your love of political lyrics extends only to the men you can relate to. Don't listen to Nirvana's 'Rape Me' but condemn Fiona Apple's "For Her". Top Picks: I Want You To Love Me Fetch The Bolt Cutters Under The Table Ladies Relay Always and forever a 5.

Undeniably a work of art. While I'm not a big piano fan it was lovely to listen to (no matter how intimidating a 26 minute song is lol). Reading the the other reviews detailing Keith Jarrett's creative process was so awe inspiring and just reminded me how cool music is. Definitely a high 4 from me!

Not my usual pick of rock but honestly pretty fun, I never really knew where it was going. Obsessed with the more feminine vocals. I don't think it would be something I'd pick up again but equally the listening experience wasn't bad. Top Picks: Relight the Flame Rising Above Bedlam Erzulie Soledad Sweet Divinity Solid 3.

I've liked some Beck before but I think it requires a certain mood. While it certainly wasn't a bad album, it wasn't my favourite. Top Pick: Paper Tiger Lonesome Tears Sunday Sun End of The Day Hitting a 3

"I will love the police that kick the shit out of you" Satirical (if certainly and obviously dated), critiquing aesthetic priority in political subcultures, emotionless families, and police brutality. I think the experimental aspects are funny and silly, especially when satirizing contemporary music styles by having sudden style shifts. Reading reviews of this album has reminded me that not everyone enjoys 'noise' as a genre lol. Top Picks: Mom & Dad What's the Ugliest Part of Your Body? Absolutely Free Flower Punk Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance Mother Person If you're looking for noise -> Nasal Retentive Calliope Music Honestly like a 4.75 in my books!
