1001 Albums Summary

Overall, a decent album. I don’t see myself revisiting often, but nothing I object to either. - had no idea Respect was not written by Aretha, very different feel in the original here - love the horns on this album - lots of dynamics - did not realize how many of these songs I knew - cover of Stones’ satisfaction, a song I don’t really like, and I don’t care for this version much either

- this intro is wild, very progressive and still has some Bowie feel - I get why this is “good” but it’s not quite my jam - some really fun percussion throughout - some King Crimson vibes, especially on Wild is the Wind

:( - title track sucks - some more interesting stuff in the middle of the album - TONS of boring guitar/vocals back and forth. The riffs nor the vocals are good enough to make this structure interesting - Walk All Over You and Touch Too Much are probably the highlights - cannot believe the audacity to have a 6-minute song in here Not unlistenable, but I doubt I’ll ever play it front to back again

Totally new to me! -maybe just recency bias (and the Bristish-ness?), but there is some very clear Bowie influence here in this opening - reminds me of phantom of the opera? Like a late 80s phantom modernization?

Do-do-do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do! Good baselines throughout, lots of head nodding Liked it overall, probably a good candidate for lazy Sunday mornings or sitting on a dockp

Really digging this, surprised this is their debut album - sounds like a mature sound. Fun horns, percussion, extended grooves. Big jazz influence. “Free Form Guitar” is real bad, just noise

Basically what expected, though I hadn’t heard (or don’t remember) any of these songs before.
