1001 Albums Summary

Better than I thought. Really expected this to just be dad rock. and it was, but it was also good. Best tracks for me: Luna, Fooled Again, Strangered in the Night.

A couple tracks were alright. Most of it feels like an angry 12 year old child of divorce got the Tom Hanks’s “Big” experience. And also, hidden tracks suck! Songs that I didn’t dislike: keep em separated, self esteem (this has bad romance intro).

Unplugged more like un good. I’ve never really gotten into nirvana or grunge in general and this live set with all the energizing electric sounds removed certainly didn’t change my mind. Plateau here is genuinely one of the worst vocal performances I’ve heard.

This is like the Stone’s Hard Days Night in that it’s their first record with all originals. But also the analogy holds in. That they aren’t at their strongest yet. Still good! But between the buttons, let it bleed, satanic majesties are all better imo. I really can’t believe the UK version just left paint it black on the shelf like that though. Fave tracks: going home, out of time, take it or leave it

What a great record. Beautiful songwriting. The more orchestra heavy songs aren't landing for me as strongly as the rest of the record. Old man and Words are incredible songs. Listening to this, the influence many of my favorite artists take from Neil Young is abundantly clear. Wilco, Jason Molina, etc.

The grooves were pretty good. The flute on Freedom Rider was awesome. I really liked the rendition of the classic John Barleycorn song too. I rarely stay fully invested all the way through this kind of prog album. The ones that stand out are really great but this one was just alright to me.

Cool dramatic 80s alt sound. I like this stuff personally.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Nothing is really bad or anything per se, but this whole record feels a bit too clean and rigidly structured. It doesn’t feel alive to me. Also I hate the fusion rock saxophone production on here.

I love Stevie wonders voice I could listen to him sing forever

Surprisingly chock full of complete bangers. Cowboy music may be the peak of human achievement.

Actually really good. A little long for me though.
