1001 Albums Summary

The sequencing of this album is really interesting to me because the first half feels so iconic, with creative applications of 80s pop music trends-really driven and exciting- but by the second half the songs start to feel a little formulaic and tired. Favorite Song: Shout

- i don’t know Bowie well so this was a great intro - feels a little heavy handed for my taste, which is suprising b/c generally I enjoy art-pop & this is obvi foundational to the genre - feels overdone, but its literally the prototype - some corny, but some GREAT lyrics - “does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things” - more melodically complicated than i'm generally drawn to for passive listening - Favorite Song: Station to Station

Surprisingly captivated! Listened at work so a little choppy. The critiques from lower reviews I've read seem valid, but it was incredible to listen and understand how directly this album influenced music for decades come. Very fun, doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. Favorite Song: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

- reading the lyrics to this album its so clear to me why saying you love radiohead is considered a red flag - but damn if it isn't a good album - 90s alt rock/grunge/post punk is my favorite genre and era rn, so for me this is a perfect album - Great sequencing Favorite song: High and Dry
