1001 Albums Summary

So far I’m enjoying this way less than I thought I would — tracks one and two seem super boring and repetitive to me. And most of the rest with a couple that are ok only because they sound so sixties I enjoyed the vibe. Eg. Queen of the Highway. Also why did the band agree to name an album after one of their members…I don’t think anyone thinks that McCartney Lodge would be a great album name. I also listened to it on shuffle by accident which really can’t have helped it’s cause.

Knew this would be a fun album with that funky bass. I enjoyed it but it’s a real disco time capsule and the lyrics are very basic and repetitive, although I don’t think they’re taking themselves seriously. Wouldn’t return to it but still a good time!

Found this pretty generic, especially because what I have listened to from Radiohead is their later stuff which is much more experimental and interesting. Cool to see where they came from however

Loved this. It doesn’t sound like anything else, and especially nothing else from the mid 80s. LOVE the production choices, the weird noises and instrument choices, and how she uses her voice in unusual ways, even the way she uses a “hey yo” part for backing vocals which sounds odd for some reason but works so well.

Had heard of Rush but never their music! I enjoyed this, got a lot of Led Zeppelin vibes, especially from the singer. A bit of Who there too. Huge guitar sound like those bands too. Not really my kind of music but still!

I’m no metal fan but I still appreciated this one. It’s got such a heavy mood to it but there’s heaps of separation between the instruments which made me appreciate the drums and bass I think more than I would otherwise. Not likely to listen again just cos I’m not often in the mood for this vibe but I can definitely see why it’s so influential

It was fine, felt a little too “easy listening” to me and I think that’s because I’ve heard a couple of these tracks on The Breeze radio here. Very cleanly produced which adds to that easy listening vibe. Not one I’d revisit but a nice enough Monday morning listen!

Great! Never heard of them, had no idea what to expect. Just a nice varied indie album with some catchy chill tunes.
