1001 Albums Summary

I’ve loved this album since 2013, when my twin sister and I were mere high schoolers believing we were becoming inside a world that was wide open. We’d roll down the windows of our mom’s car, open the moon roof, and blast a CD burned with the songs from this record. The music takes you on a journey through a neighborhood and makes you feel like you belong to something much larger—larger, even, than life. With this album, I return to my teenage years and precious moments with my twin sister.

Fine listening, but not mind-blowing in any way. Nice enough lead voice, nice enough melodies, but that sums up my thoughts on this album: nice enough.

80s music just doesn’t do it for me. The sound is too echoey and synthetic, which I understand was part of the technological innovation of the time, but it’s not for me. I mostly just wanted to stop listening, but I gave the album a chance and finished it.

No huge comments other than I will never not love the sound of the late 60s/early 70s.

Not my fav Arctic Monkeys, but it does capture a quintessential indie rock sound of the 2000s

Love hearing the evolution in Neil Young’s music from acoustic folk to rock via this album.

Found it weird the first time I heard it years ago, but now I love it.
