1001 Albums Summary

Doolittle by Pixies

Bold, shameless. A hair less angular than Surfer Rosa. Not afraid to drop out all guitars. Lots of great stops. Frank Black not afraid to let his voice run wild, both in the gravel zone and the unbridled falsetto. Very late 80s new wave bass tone. So many hits on this, but surprisingly "Hey" really hit me today when I wouldn't consider it a top-tier well known Pixies song. Fuck it. every song is a classic.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

First time hearing this. Far better than I thought it would be. Much more chubby groovy froggy then I expected.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

Expansive. Feels maximalist in the number of elements. Especially when compared with the other album by Kate Bush that I'm familiar with: 50 words for snow. Some of the elements don't age super well, especially the synthetic string tones. The sound collages are awesome. The arrangements and composition are ace. Jig of Life is wow
