1001 Albums Summary

Very much an album of its moment. Maybe the pinnacle of the alt rock of the time, but still felt revolutionary when it came out. Still good today.

Jazz! Pffft! They just make it up as they go along. I could do that. [To the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb] Do-de-do-de-do-do-do...

Undeniably talented group. Probably a pretty amazing album at the time, perfectly fusing so many American traditions so effectively. But also just not music I like. The Weight is a classic but doesn't really do it for me. I think I prefer Chest Fever.

I don't really like the blues. I said I don't really like the blues. I don't really like the blues.

Bluesy country rock with some pretty terrible sexist lyrics. But the synths were dope at the time! Not for me.

Fun album that surprised me, not being very familiar with Yeah Yeah Yeahs other than Maps. Interesting evolution.
