1001 Albums Summary

Maybe the best pop album of the 80s next to Songs From The Big Chair. Still sounds amazing. Hounds of Love can be overwhelming at times, it's more like a record for a special occasion.

Not a fan of double records per se, this one is unfortunally no difference. Yes, it is really well put together and has almost no filler, but in this case, the lyrical content especially towards the end is too much for me.

CSN could be considered a one trick pony, but that one trick is something special. Yes, the songs sound the same. But in its core the s/t of Crosby, Stills & Nash shows three songwriter at the peak of their craft.

I see why there are fans of ska, but I'm still not one of them. The songs are well written and are without a doubt fun, but over the runtime of the entire album the listening experience can only be labeled as grating.

It's close to perfect, some mixing choices aside (Where are the drums?). Yes, it has flutes. Yes, they are very present. But they are, for me, what makes Aqualung to something special and to way more than a run-of-the-mill prog record.

Absolute classic, cannot recommend it enough. Lush sounding, with drive and stunning lyrics. A meticulously crafted masterpiece.

Definitely a very seasonal album, but surprisingly fun. Infectious groove and overall great composition.
