1001 Albums Summary

It's avant garde, I can appreciate it for what it is, but it sadly doesn't resonate

Yeah it's a classic. Highlights being Try and Love Again and New Kids in Town. Don Henley is so recognisable it hurts

I feel like i'm in year 8 again - Riot Van is so underrated; There exists no better album closer than A Certain Romance

Life's a Bitch - album highlight, not representative of personal views

Although not one of my personal greatests by the greatest, it still holds up as being great

Jesus, the title track really does all of the heavy lifting here

Here, there, everywhere and it wants to punch you in the face. By the end, it kinda bleeds into one though - sorry Lars

Oh, you're telling me this ISN'T Beck? I mean, it's fun

This is a long album, and there's not too much variance between a bunch of decent songs

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

The soul flows through me

Maybe I bigger this one up too much in my head before listening, but I left feeling underwhelmed

I was listening to this album as I was reading Stoner by John Williams, and an hour went by in a totally 1966 "twee-psych" manner which is serviceable and inoffensive.

Historically hate Morrissey which has always made listening to The Smiths a hateful act - this is a pretty good album

Actually so much better than what I expected from a disco album - massive range of styles. However with disco, you listen to the opening minute of a song and know what the rest is gonna sound like

Uh oh could it be one of the most instantly recognisable and iconic singers of all time? I do prefer others by her more than this, but love ya Grandma and Grandad

Again with the 60s psych - throw it all in a pot and it doesn't matter what band it is

Get me into a dark room filled with cigar smoke NOW

I fully know that the whole point is that MIA is sampling in a plunderphonic type way, but it just felt a bit too all over the place for me

It's alright; it's almost a predecessor to late Arctic Monkeys, but maybe that's Sheffield coming through. Feel this is on the list as a zeitgeisty 2005 "This is going to be revered forever it NEEDS to go in the book otherwise i'm going to look like an idiot", but has since been forgotten

I LOVE this album. I can listen to this 8 times in a day on repeat whilst at work and I don't get bored. Unfortunately Getz was a creep and so loses out on a star.

It's Goldie, it's timeless, it's jungle

This is fun - put it on in the background at work and answering emails felt like a gunslinging adventure

Look, I know that this is good, and I know that it is seminal folk, but it's just like a blander Dylan to me DON'T SHOOT ME!!!

Fucking hell what an album

What do I really say that hasn't been said already. Now it's Autumn as well, this bumps up on the rotation

This is so much more pub rock than what was on YHF - not so much my vibe sadly, but I'll ask my Dad what he thinks of it I guess

Theater kids will LOVE this one

Pretty forgettable, few good songs

Can't give it any more than a 1

5 stars before I even listened- it's a George All Timer

Soooooooooooo boring

Just a proper easy listener

What a soothing album to listen to on a crisp October morning

This album is so poorly produced?? Just sounds wet

Any album that starts with a double bass is good in my eyes
