1001 Albums Summary

Some great songs, but album is too long and dragged down by skits.

Not my bag. Not bad per se, but doesn’t move me. Might suffer from the hype.

One of my favorite bands, but this album is 6 songs too long. How’s this for a better track listing: 1. In the Light 2. Custard Pie 3. In My Time of Dying 4. Houses of the Holy 5. Trampled Under Foot 6. Down by the Seaside 7. Bron-Yr-Aur 8. Kashmir 9. The Wanton Song 10. Ten Years Gone

I remember loving this as 13 year old, but, man, it’s boring! The sound of the drums is a dead horse that doesn’t need any more beating, but really there are just no dynamics on this record - just one continuous sound. It’s possible these songs would rule re-recorded today with boutique pedals and a drummer with emotions.

Perfect prog-pop mix of nostalgia, cheese, and emotion.

Didn’t move me, but was pleasant as a soundtrack to the work day.

For a Christmas album, this is a banger - rating reflects this specificity.

Proto-indie rock, without which we'd probably be missing out on so much fun, twee, modern music.
