1001 Albums Summary

This album lingers around the listless 70's waiting room capably created by Breakdown for way too long, chugging along without ambition until finishing unexpectedly strongly with the classic American Girl.

It's fine. Hard to imagine this being subversive but 60 years ago is a long time.

Really pleasant with a surprising amount of orchestral ambition

Very cool album, first half in particular, but loses steam in the second half a bit and falls into some really braindead repetition. Strong lyrics as well that still hold up.

Sexy britpop, great fun

This album is all about minimalist instrumentals highlighting Joni's voice, and I just don't like her voice that much. It's a kind of shrill lilting yodel that irritates me the whole time (Angel Olsen does this vocal style better on her first album imo). Lyrically it's fine, nothing terribly interesting.
