1001 Albums Summary

1st song is decent, though the second part with the guitar solo really got my attention. Is the 2nd song a JoJo reference? Haha. Heard this one before; one of their most popular songs to come across. “Tenement Funster gets really fun and harmonious. 1:27 - 1:50 guitar just letting it rip; lovely section. The use of stereo effect is so good in general. 2:10-2:21 Vocals are sun kissed. AND THE TRANSITION TO THE NEXT SONG IS NUTS. 4th song good. Transition to 5th is also good, but not as cool as the previous one 5th song quite short; has a bit of downtempo and somber vibes. Song 6, Now I’m here started off good. Felt like it built up the song well. Song 7: interesting use of voice distortion. Sounds dreamy. Organ chords ( I think) sounds futuristic or ET like. Stone Cold Crazy is high energy; drums are much heavier here; the hook is literally one line but it’s catchy. Could be a favourite. Song 9 is a complete juxtaposition of the previous song. Slow tempo; just piano and vocals. Barley over a minute; sounds like an interlude Misfire, song 10 is upbeat, fun and groovy. Amazing chorus. Good practical use of stereo panning. Reminds me of the Beatles rubber soul era. Replayed it again after it ended. Song 11 is cool, sound to me they took inspiration from jazz Song 12 is psychedelic ; downtempo. Sounds like walking through a mysterious haze Last song… I preferred the previous song as the ender

Most songs are forgettable to me. Some good, but some boring. Overall mood is downtempo and somber. Chest Fever probably the best song on here

Not my favourite RH album but it’s good. I’ve listened to Nude, Weird Fishes and All I Need many times before so those are the standout tracks in my opinion. Jigsaw falling into place the best song; it’s noisy, fast and Tom yorke shouting like he means it. Last song follows it well with a shift in overall tone.

Way too long to listen to in a single sitting. Disc 1 was good.
