1001 Albums Summary

- very fun and dynamic guitar playing in Let Me Drown. Songwriting has great tension build up, unexpected shifts in tone without feeling too discordant. - vocals VERY 90s ROCK, but avoids sounding overly cheesy. Just enough to give it some unique quality and sound without being forced. Really adds a lot of energy to the album, makes each composition a lot more engaging to listen to. Really varied as well! Pleasant surprise, not usually a fan of the forward and strained sound a lot of bands adopted during this period (hello Nickelback). - really love the mixing on Spoonman! Mixing and layering has been fuckin surgical the whole album, but the stereo effect on headphones really accentuates the details and little touches! Insanely cool. - 90s rock not my usual ballpark, but pretty enjoyable! Some fun riffs, very good mixing, and what feels like a distillation of the era's grunge, with a better execution for most of the genre's tropes (which I'm not usually a fan of).
