1001 Albums Summary

Could’ve been released today, thought it sounded current. Powerful passionate vocals. First time I’ve listened in full to a Nina album. Enjoyed it and it has a replayability element. My benchmark, I would purchase the vinyl but not a 5/5. More like a 4.3/5.

Can appreciate Stevie’s talent but not really for me. Too sugary beige and even the monster tune Superstition which is a banger couldn’t save it for me. 2.5/5.

Not for me which disappoints as for first time hearing an album by Steely Dan which are held in high regards by some. Liked the opening track which is a big tune from then, but sorry, the on, it was very middle of the road and beige. Struggled to get through it. 1/5.

First time on a Aretha album and must say really impressed, really soulful and passionate, obviously what an an amazing voice and the album held my attention throughout and it has a decent replayability about it. 4.6/5.

Quality stuff. Much better than I expected. Great opening tune. 4/5

Good first time listen, surprised me how good, fresh sounding. 3.9/5

Probably my favorite Pogues album. Can’t ignore their album Rum…. But this more polished with a handful of bangers. Unique sound that until then hadn’t broke through. Great album highly recommended. 4.6/5

Not blown away but a nice listen. Can't see me returning to this in a hurry. However better than I thought. Wrongly assumed beige slow ramblings but actually well crafted tunes. Nice new experience. 2.5/5
