1001 Albums Summary

Really loved Mark and Knopfler guitars and John Issley basslines are pretty underrated. A Timeless classic that has his own unique sound, specially if you consider the fact that includes Sultans of Swing which has probably one of the greatest solos ever recorded.

Many people comes to this record looking for Dreams and thinking Fleetwood Mac it's a One Hit Wonder or that besides this song and Landslide they don't have much to offer. The truth is, this record as a whole is a nice gateway to rock and roll if you let go yourself by the mesmerizing and soft Adult Oriented Rock sound that can be also found in bands like Chicago, Boston or REO Speedwagon that were paving the way to the adult contemporary sound that would blast radio stations at the time. Fleetwood don't deny their blues and folk beginnings here but they actually give it a more pop oriented production, with Christine and Stevie voices so you can actually see why it's a record that divide their fans. Either way you love it or you prefer their earlier days when they were more blues rock and less keyboard. Definitely a record everyone should listen to. Easy access to the band and to rock and roll history itself.

A record with basically no skips. An exceptional masterpiece that brings you a big breeze of joyful melancholy with the mellow and charming lyrics and voice from Robert Smith and the tight basslines from Simon Gallup. A Seminal piece in new-wave, post punk, and goth rock that everyone involved in goth subculture, from elders to babybats have craved and listened to. The kind of album you look for if you are looking for somethink dark but not gritty, sad but not grievous. It's romantic, nostalgic, special, and it will probably bring you a lot of memories while you listen to, whenever it's your first listen or the number 300th in a row. An anthology of songs that defined a whole subculture, and for many persons also a whole generation.
