1001 Albums Summary

It wasn't very memorable to me but it was calming. I added Candy Says to a playlist and I will probably listen to it again. The Murder Mystery was intriguing, though, and I might revisit it.

It's really odd, and after the first two songs I really thought I was going to dislike it. The sexual undertones of the lyrics feel really strange, and the way they're mumbled in this morose British accent just amplifies the uncomfortable aspect. But then I got to Common People and fell in love with the song, and the rest of the album was pretty great. Still, Pencil Skirt was one of the most painful songs I have had to suffer through and I will not be listening to it again unless I need to engage in self-torture.

I'm not listening past All My Friends because I'm bored, but the beginning of this song sounds like Sex by the 1975. I was thinking how some elements seem like stuff you hear in the ambience of the 1975's music. This was sub-mediocre; the songs are too repetitive to be as long as they are. I'm not particularly struck by the lyrics and the different sounds (like cowbells) utilized in the songs give me the same crawly feeling I get when I listen to repeated high-pitched beeping noises. The only thing I would willingly relisten to would be All My Friends.
