1001 Albums Summary

about as perfect as a pop record could be. it’s moody, it’s boundary pushing, it’s got that familiarity in the lyrics that change with each listen and as you grow older… it’s got it all!

the parts that are interesting are Fine but i’d rather be listening to Kid A

decidedly “not my thing”, but i thought it was fine overall. ccr are a band where i’d rather listen to their hits as opposed to their actual records.

god i love curtis so much. not my favorite project of his, but he’s a revolutionary. he tells it like it is and sounds like he’s holding nothing back. sexy but bleak!! great stuff

the basslines… the horn arranging… the vocals… the fucking closing track…. OH.

don’t even get me started on this record. jaco’s bass work on these recordings provide a firm foundation for some of the most concentrated yearning in Joni’s discography. though a record like Blue or Court & Spark i return to more often, Hejira still hits on those long late-night drives home from a show or on tour.

a sprawling symphonic dreampop delight! reminds me of broadcast and cold beat a bit. but it’s really its own thing, really lovely and definitely something i’ll be returning to sooner rather than later.

what a wonderful record. Best contemporary soul record i’ve heard in a bit, no thanks to the psych-rock influence at times. lush textures, heartbreaking lyrics- it’s got it all!!!
