1001 Albums Summary

All I can think of while listening to this album is how much influence Paul McCartney has on this sound. I'm not sure if it's true, but all I hear is Paul McCartney. The Titular track is amazing, great melodies and rhythms, Cooper really plays along with a syncopation from the instrumentation and the vocals. Then Unfinished sweets starts and I hear Back in the USSR.. I get the "spooky" vibe Cooper strives for though, something that puts him out from a Beatles copy-cat. Unfinished Sweets is a good follow up to Billion Dollar Babies. Generation Landslide is the first track that doesn't sound like the Beatles-anything harmonica I'm a sucker for! The intro to Sick Things put a huge smile on my face, very interesting sounded track and feels completely original. Sick things was the best track so far. Mary Ann sounds like a Beatles track but the piano diddy during the fade out is fun, cute short track. I Love The Dead is a good closer track, Cooper excels when he plays up the creepy vibes.
