1001 Albums Summary

Pretty energetic stuff. I was pleasantly surprised by My Generation, I'm not a fond of the studio version, but here they made a really solid work and the track keep you banging the whole 15 minutes.

A pleasant listen, but nothing really clicks for me.

Already knew the album, really not my taste. I find it overproduced, the singing very bland, the keyboards cheesy, the guitar technically impressive but boring... Overall I quite prefer their beat period. Won't Get Fooled Again is ok tho.

Nice and mellow. The gospel influence of They Won't Go When I Go is really cool.

Pretty good album, very cohesive and somehow catchy.

I can understand the appeal, but I find the dancing parts a bit clunky, and it's so, SO much rooted in the 80's it's almost painful to listen at times.

A very nice folk album with soft and cozy tracks. I love the atmosphere, it's somehow warm and reassuring even on the more energic parts of the album.

Well it's technically impressive but I don't really connect with the songs.

One of my all-time favs, it's soooo chill and cheerful and fun! The duo Bonita Applebum/Can I Kick It may be the hilight of the album, but the whole run is incredibly consistent and still feels fresh and creative even 35 years after the release.

Cheerful, old-school pop with nice harmonies. California Dreamin' is an absolute gem, one of my favourite songs of all-time. The other songs are pleasant but not that memorable. Overall, a nice listen.

I have a complicated relationship with this album. It's an important landmark in punk history and a key influence for a lot of artists I love, but no matters how much I wanted to like it, the music was absolutely repulsive to me. It's my first re-listening of the album in almost a decade and it... kinda worked, I guess? It feels like a lo-fi horror journey through paranoia and fear. It's hypnotizing and sexy in a very bizarre, venomous way. My main problem comes from the structure, the songs seem stuck in a perpetual crescendo without payoff. It's interesting because it brings a feeling of claustrophobia but it's tedious when you repeat it for an entire album.

Well, that was a wild ride. Intense and abrasive, even by today's standards.

Nice and soft, but also a bit boring.

Cheesy and unremarkable 80's soul musak.

An amazing funky sexy album.
