1001 Albums Summary

American Girl carries the album pretty hard. The rest of it is fine 70s rock, though it is a little boring. That last song is damn good though. Boring for the most part, but it’s pretty short, so that’s not a huge deal. Definitely wouldn’t put this in a list of 1089 albums you need to hear before you die if it were me making the list.

I knew I was in trouble when I felt like I’d been listening to Round & Round for ages when I was less than a third of the way through the song. Boring, overrated album with songs that go on way too long with not much going on in them. For a band called Crazy Horse, their music is pretty standard-sounding and even pretty sparse on some of these songs. The awful high pitched singing voice Young uses also isn’t doing the album any favors. I like Neil Young’s politics, but Spotify was genuinely a better place in the two years that his music was gone from the platform. I did like the guitar solo near the end of Down By The River, though.
