1001 Albums Summary

First half was great. The rest just didn't have the same strong evocative feelings that Stevie usually gives. I can see why this is the weakest of his classic period

I don't want to cast doubt that I think this was bad. Just not my style. I know for the time it was released it pushed the envelope and Fats is one of the great Fathers of RnR. I'm just more of a Lil Richard kinda guy

This album was an absolute travesty. The falsetto vocals on every song lacked emotion and the lyrical content was bland and meandering. Sonically everything sounded as if it was some soulless pop rock garbage that was repetitive and uninspired. Lots of members in this band for not a lot to be going on in the music.

David byrnes fanatical ramblings over some high energy synth wave rock was a great time. Not necessarily coherent but definitely one of a kind and laid the ground work for him to be one of the most influential musicians of his time.

Jack and Meg are probably the best duo to come out of rock music in this era. Nothing on this album sounds extraordinary or "special". It's just good regardless. Technical skill and the ability to produce a range of sounds is paired with great album structure and the ability to create songs that make you feel good while also sounding good.

An absolute masterclass in folk music. Hearing Nick Drakes somber vocals in a more upbeat pitch with beautiful lyrics that reveals Nick's view of the world to us. Phenomenal.
