1001 Albums Summary

application of african circular song structure to western chorus/verse song structure. super fun, plenty of aux perc & synthesizers provide atmosphere. david byrne is talking about who the fuck knows what, but he delivers every line as if it carries overt meaning. this is disarming, and i love it.

drums sound great, love how big they are, everything in a space together, except he bass right in your face. do i know some of these songs? (waterfall) or is this band just a formative portion of the 80s sound & 90s reference catalogue, and every little lick & mixing technique is familiar via some musical descendant of this album. i dig itAHHH THE GUITAR WALKED FROM THE RIGHT TO THE LEFTo h oh ok it's just stereo tricks. cmon guys dont scare me like that. Bye Bye Bad Man is their beatles tune. it's fun lotta fun percush back half of this record gets way more british, these guys had fun, i had fun, 3 stars oh lord does the breakdown in the 8-minute track 11 "i am the resurrection" prefigure some of the worst of U2's turn-of-the-century boring excess. It's not the Stone Roses' fault that U2 became the worst band ever, but this sucked when SR did it and it sucked when U2 did it. dumb dumb dumb, i'd skip the rest of this track, but i feel obligated to listen. Last track really leans into the percussion groove, we get some funk, this must have really inspired a lot of 90s groups or A&R reps. oh my fucking god it's 10 minutes long. GUYS FIVE MINUTES IS PLENTY. JUST MAKE ANOTHER SONG IF YOU HAVE FIVE MORE MINUTES WORTH OF MUSIC & LYRICS

hot buttered soul here are some 10+ minute songs. knowing isaac hayes, it's gonna be a lil less repetitive than U2 Jr from yesterday. 10/10 classic. another treasure lost to scientology

man this record really was all hits. green day at the top of their game, i bet it went.... gonna guess 5x platinum from wiki: "six times platinum status in the United States" track 8: Homecoming 9:19. should this song be this long? idk man lotta long songs on this record, but it's only 9 tracks. instinct says too long, but i like this one actually, not so repetitive as Stone Roses. Thanks Billie Joe & Co ugh fucking muse came on after this. they're so bad

cant argue with any of this record. LOVE the rhythm section. perfect album 10/10

great stuff, good players. a lot of these licks have become cliches now, but that's not this record's fault.
