1001 Albums Summary

This is my first full-length exposure to The White Stripes, and dare I say, the first time I've ever paid attention to "Seven Nation Army". That song is absolutely incredible, and while the rest is consistently great, it never reaches the heights of that song again. The two acoustic numbers disrupt the flow for me and "Little Acorns" is jarring too (but once that song kicks in, it's killer).

Already very familiar with this album. Peak.

One of the best early alternative US albums; "Blister In The Sun", "Add It Up" and "Good Feeling" are songs for life. Perfect for this list as I believe this is deeply essential.

Heard before challenge. This is where, for some, Neil really finds his stride. For me, it's another entry in an already stellar career up to this point that is affirmed by some really incredible songs. I'll always die on the hill of "A Man Needs A Maid", and I don't need to say anything else about "The Needle And The Damage Done"; plenty has already been said.
