1001 Albums Summary

Really great gritty and bluesy guitar and drums with some of the most annoying wimpy proto-incel lyrics repeated ad nauseum. seriously the amount of songs that come across as 'weird about women ' or 'being a man is so cool and edgy' is too much for me to handle. if there is a deeper critique of masculinity then its buried too deep for me to see

Solid brit rock album, that i feel is just woefully out of its era. can definitely see how influential its sound is on current rock music, but I just think that other bands since then have improved upon the sounds and styles from this album.

Another album from my depressed teen years. While I was worried that this album would also get worse on an actual relisten, like The White Stripes did, I gotta say it absolutely holds up. Grunge vs Blues Revival for life apparently. This one however is leagues better lyrically than the other and very solid musically. Specifically there is so much more variety and depth present. While some are creatively nonsesical, and most are extremely depressed, there's more to the lyrics than just depression there's thoughts on greed, war, patriotism and a bit of gender going on. Literally a whole song singing about riding the mailman. The only issue is that lyrically and tonally its pretty much 'nothing but rock' and it can get pretty grating after awhile, and the highest points on the album is when they try something new. Overall really great album and clearly immensely influential on modern rock, that holds up entirely today.
