1001 Albums Summary

This was supposed to be a rock revival?? A couple things i will say is that I wasn’t bored for the most part, he kept the energy high but despite that it still comes off empty. The saving grace from getting a one is that the second half of this album is much better than the first with more of a variety. The first is full of songs that are redundant and sound indistinguishable from each other. The entire album feels very corporate today, most of it belongs on a Madden soundtrack not a greatest albums list. However I do understand that it was apparently a shock to everyone when it came out but I’m too young for that and I’ve heard this style 100s of times since then. Maybe if I was in high school when this came out I would enjoy it more but it’s no Nevermind. Nowadays I hear better music made by high schoolers in their garage. Except for “we’re going to be friends”, “Dead leaves and dirty grounds”, and “offend in any way” I wouldn’t say I like any song. Hopefully I enjoy their other albums coming up. 1.5/5⭐️
