1001 Albums Summary

The first time i listened to this it was a slog to get through to be honest, however this time it did hit differently. I owe this to me being in a very different mindset then i was in when i first listened, it spoke to me a bit more, even got me a little emotional. I don’t thin this is one i’ll revisit in it’s entirety again but theres definitely one or two songs that did something for me.

Despite how short the songs were i found this one hard to get through due to how repetitive it was, also just couldnt make out a single word of what they were saying in any of the songs apart from ay oh lets go, Not one for me unfortunately.

I really wish i was more into heavy rock i’d feel a lot cooler but unfortunately i’m not wired that way, i can appreciate this is a good album but just not an album for me:(

Petition to make albums fun again!!! I don’t listen to albums in their full entirety very often but this is one i keep returning to after listening to all the way for the first time a few weeks ago. Also as the owner of a completely useless degree it really does speak to me. I love all the skits inbetween the songs, sometimes i dont loooove skits in albums i just want to listen to the music but its just works here. Say what you want about Kanye but the guy knows how to make a great album.

Couple songs in here to bob your head to but nothing show-stopping in my opinion

“Hey, i aint go no money” says the multimillionaire

Britpop they can never make me hate you, WAY too fucking long though, idk if i was listening to a deluxe version or something but it just kept going until all the songs just sounded the same. Looooove the kind of jazzy influences tho, feel like it makes it stand out more than the typical ‘britpop’ music.

Seen some other people say its boring so really hoped i could break the mould and be one of the many people leaving 5 star reviews, but regrettably, i did find this boring, i enjoy mopey music but i fear this isn’t my type of mopey music. Never knew they were the everybody hurts people tho so 2/5

Im partial to a foreign language album as long as it has something i can mildly shake my ass too or atleast somewhat boogie to, and this fit the criteria so 3/5.

Monotonous, a suggested song come ok after and i thought FINALLY a good song but nope it was a completely different artist.

I just know the moshpit for Monitor would go crazy

Honestly this was almost a DNF, despite how short the album is. I work as a call handler and listen to music inbetween calls, its common that i’ll put off calling a client to get to the end of a good song, with this album i found i was calling out more frequent than normal just for a break from the noise. I feel like this album had the elements of a good album. I like how experimental it is however unfortunately not all experiments work out in life, this album is proof. One thing I will say is that you can definitely hear the influence that this album has had on music thats come after it, and for that I applaud it.
