1001 Albums Summary

Pretty good. Call of duty song jump scare

Big fan of the jamming and riffing. Had heard Fela’s Riff before and this must be the Fela they borrowed the riff from! Favorite song: Zombie

Enjoyed some of it more than other parts. The more melodic tracks worked better for me than some of the noisier ones which was a fair amount. But still a cool listen for the 2004 UK time capsule that bottles a pretty grassroots feeling of nightlife raucousness. The fact that none of the songs feel too organized, none of the riffs too perfect, none of the choruses or vocals tuned by science, does make it feel authentic. Fav tracks: Music When the Lights Go Out, the Ha Ha Wall

I know the pixies are good but this one was a bit noisy for me

Amazing album. Within seconds of starting it’s already in full flow, like you as the listener have put your fingers on a pulse to find that it’s already beating fast. The album brings rock infected with anxiety and imagination, layering frenetic rhythms, funky ensemble flourishes, blurted and chanted and murmured lyrical evocations. But for all the oddity of the sound and bewilderment of the lyrics, it’s never disjointed or self satisfyingly sad. It transmutes all that into verve and groove. Wonderfully odd and earnest from the first seconds
