1001 Albums Summary

As a piece, it's good. Starts off weak with Shout but then every other song is a 3 or 4. Lightly carried by Everybody Wants to Rule the World, but Mothers Talk and Head Over Heels

Really good musically, but the album compilation feels jarring in a few places. Dont think theres a single song that I wouldn't put on by itself. Album peeters out a little bit but also it has Superstition near the end which is a nice little boost probably goes hard as a record in the background I don't like the part where he says "I'm a little boy..." in Maybe Your Baby, I think that was too far I think I'd give this a 5/5 if the ordering of songs was a little different to make it flow different

feels like i should be listening to this on a cold wet night while im on a warm bus looking out the window (pos) OR like i should be drinking whiskey in a darkly lit room with this on a record player I actually think this album is really well constructed, each song feels so different to another BUT it fits within the bounds of the album too?? and the placement of each song is also great generally just a really relaxing album

girl get a grip this album is well constructed and wholly inoffensive not my kind of music and I don't think anyone should be writing this much about a man I liked River Lea

well constructed, not sure if i'd listen to this again or listen to any songs individually, more likely to listen in full than separate i think the drum parts and basslines are incredible, im less interested in the vocals and guitar phenomenal late night drive soundtrack, good music for chilling out and havinf something on in the background - i would play this on vinyl while i hosted composition is good and the ending song is strong so probably like 3.5/5 but i will round up

albums this old are so difficult because i know this was probably incredible when it came out but im suffering from recency bias ready teddy is so good instrumentally but i dont feel like the lyrics are that good. vocally? his voice is great on all these songs but the lyrics are best when i ignore them and listen to his voice as another instrument the songs in the backhalf are so samey.. it feels wrong but i think this is a 2/5

dont think hes saying anything. the production and music is great, i just dont really like his lyrics i stopped tracking my thoughts on individual songs for this one bc i truly just dont think its worth it, mama said knock you out is good tho i think i couldve gone without this one. I'd give it a 1.5 but I think I'll round up to 2 I want to reserve 1/5 for actual dogshit
