1001 Albums Summary

5 stars if I were high, but with the length and the jam I felt myself zone out for period.

Appreciated the musical accompaniments and genre bending but past the first couple tracks nothing again matches that energy or reaches the same high. Expected a landmark punk classic but it didn’t particularly excite me.

Easy 3-4*. Very enjoyable with short tight songs.

Elevator music for talented listeners. Excellent guitar.

Unmistakably Paul Simon doing Paul Simon things. It’s very good but doesn’t elevate itself past his other highlights.

Decent rock, background music.

Interesting enough. Some fun bits.

Quite chaotic but samey

Every time I began to enjoy the music they commenced shouting over each other again. I get that it was bold and innovative but they made the same song 11 times with mixed production. Production excellent to be fair.

A decent album from a time where a lot of popular music sounded similar. Quite enjoyed it.

Couple of stars for a great singer and the songwriters. Minus the rest of the stars for the length. Great for when you have a dinner party with the fancy dishes and don’t want to curate a whole playlist.

Was alright. Nice and chilled. Good voice.

Just found it all quite dull.

Nice and chilled. Couple songs with good ideas dragged a little long. Rather listen to Portishead.

Mostly killer, easy 4.5

Long but enjoyed it much more than I expected

Contains the brevity of song that held back some of his other work, but the highs aren’t quite as high. Little Wing stands alone and the album closer is brilliant.

Not in his top 3

This is what I want from early post punk

Glorious. Outstanding. Purple.

Basically a greatest hits
