1001 Albums Summary

Brushes of simple profundity enmeshed in otherwise corny lyrics. He sounds really beautiful when he’s not trying too hard to sing. Also, that’s not a raga.

Max Roach’s DNA must be injected into every living drummer today.

Feeling like the coolest fucking kid on the playground.

2010. Guitar solos are cool. Orchestral arrangements are cool. Janelle Monáe is such a cool weirdo.

Too horny.

Flashes of truly inspired songwriting. Mostly blasé. Album art is cool tho!

Is Curtis Mayfield capable of making bad music? I don’t think so.

SYNTHESIZERS

Walking into an Urban Outfitters. Arcade Fire is piped in. You don’t buy anything, but for a brief moment, you feel really cool.

Really enjoyed the efforts to make this an interesting body of work (Changes, FX, Laguna Sunrise), but generally not my favorite songwriting.

Behemoth record, wonderful songwriting, thankful for The Shirelles.

Could not find my way into this record if my life depended on it.

😎

I mean, c’mon!

No opinion of Cassavetes, high opinion of Le Tigre.

While I prefer the more barebones orchestration on Smith’s earlier work, this album definitely hits the spot. everything means nothing to me x ad infinitum

Ya know what! There are worse ways to spend 41 minutes.

If every track was Endless, Nameless this would get 5/5 from me.

John Lydon is the worst part of any project he’s in.

Really neat textural work with the instrumentation just rejones by the utterly lame lyricism.

Damn so they have more songs than lovefool????

damn i only like the hits

not even trying to be a bowie hater, but couldn’t find much redeemable about this album

Kinda dorkier than I remember

pig feds are executing folks in camps and boy scouts in the streets - this is no fucking joke.

Too much of a good thing

Uhhhh I thought I was a Linkin Park hater, but I guess I was just a boring teenager; this rules.

Lovely effort with all the awkward growing pains of cross-cultural collaborations.

Take me back to Newport, I’ll throw some tomatoes at Bob too.

Morrissey at his lyrically worst??? Even if I agree with some of the sentiments it just comes off so cringe.

Even for an 80s album, this one sounds so DATED.
