1001 Albums Summary

Pretty good rifts - each song feels like its own thing. Didn't listen to much Foo Fighters until now. Can definitely see the Nirvana influence, I mean - Dave Grohl had just left Nirvana. "Left" being used ironically here. "Big Me", "I'll stick around" and "Floaty" are my top tracks. Good start to this chalellenge!

1 - "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God). Good start. I was already familiar with this track from the Stranger Things craze a couple of years back. Love Kate's vocals on this track. You can feel the agony in her vocals as she pleads to God. That guitar rift around 3:40 is the creme de la creme! Okay, after listening to the rest of the album, I can see why everyone just knows that first song. The rest of the album gets too experimental for me. It comes across as a pitch for a surrealist musical.

I think this album is pretty chaotic. I can understand why people found it "revolutionising" in the late 60s, but a lot of the tracks in the middle are very "chaotic" with the guitar distortions. My favourite is the title track "bold as love", and there's a couple of nice ones, but overally nothing wowed me.

Two tracks in: "God, there's so much going on. It all feels very busy. Not sure how I'll get through this." Listens to Fairytale of New York: "Oh it's THESE guys that sing this! Okay, I'm beginning to have a change-of-heart here!" Listens to Thousands are Sailling: ' I AM SO PROUD TO BE IRISH!!!" (I'm from Mexico) This album made me fall in love with Irish Folk. Can't wait to listen to more. Took me more than a day to get through it just because I kept repeating tracks.

Such a smooth, soothing Album. I found myself feeling more grounded and calmer with each song. Not one to listen to frequently, but It's handy to know it for when i need some smooth vibes.

It grew on me a little bit towards the end. A bit too chaotic for me. Have a negative bias towards punk anyway – the instrumentals are a bit aggressive for my liking. That being said, I did listen to it on a Sunday with my morning coffee, and I did manage to listen to the whole thing!
