1001 Albums Summary

Incredible first pick. A all-time favourite album of mine that was due for a re-listen and a real think about. Some of the best guitars ever with a unique rage barely replicated since.

Such a creative sound across the tracklist. Mitchell's voice is an instrument along with the band and free-flowing rhythm and relaxed jazz-rock sound make for a great time.

You can hear the influence in this album so clearly; that is to say you can hear why artists have been influenced by the album and the rest of Prince's discography. For me, it runs a little long and the songs end up blending in with one another.

Masterpiece, completely unsure as to how I haven’t listened to it by now. Definitely an album and an artist I will be coming back to.

Good jams across the album, would have been a 5 but those last few minutes of The Gumbo Variations became a bit of a slog. Excited for more Zappa!

Many have tried to recreate this kind of synth-tinted indie rock and very few have matched this quality. Stadium bangers and esoteric deep cuts on the same album and it’s so good front to back.
