1001 Albums Summary

One of the best albums ever made. It’s hard to put his music into a genre, it goes places that are inspirational for other musicians

The happy nature of this album contrasts significantly to the grunge movement in the states that was also popular at that time, but very much conforms to the sound of other British rock bands also prevalent in the early 90’s. A very solid album. Highlights: End of a century, title track, boys &girls

Iconic album, transformer feels like an album where directly inspired blues rock transitions into something more contemporary

Enjoyed listening to this album. The key and tempo changes consistent throughout the album kept me engaged. At some points reminded me of The Doors, especially Wicked Annabella. Also enjoyed some of the tongue in cheek lyrics, people take pictures of each other could’ve been written today

Very “yacht rock”. Listening to this makes me think of upper middle class boomers wearing white linen and Camilla dresses on a summer afternoon, frothing harder than their sparkling white wines listening to this album. Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the musicianship. Stoked it’s only 7 songs long

I can hear what they’re trying to achieve, but I’m sure there were better examples of this genre of music in the 70’s. “If everyone was listening” and “crime of the century” hold their own though

Pretty cool album, enjoyed the musicianship

This album sounds like if someone bought the Rolling Stones from Temu. Or if I tried to explain the concept of blues rock to someone but actually hadn’t listened to any of it myself

I can’t stand country music, it’s so contrived, so shit, and so fucking preachy. Luckily Johnny Cash isn’t country, he’s punk rock. This album he performs songs about doing coke, committing crime, and getting hung, at a prison while clearly higher than two Charlie Sheens. This album wouldn’t have been made today, it’d incite riots. If it isn’t 5 stars just for the cojones of the guy, at least the music is catchy too
