1001 Albums Summary

Full of songs I already knew but didn't know it was this band! Hooks that can bury into your brain. A very musical performance but catchy

Sultans is one of the greatest tracks of all time. Unfortunately there's not a lot else here that can reach anywhere near those heights.

A strange inclusion considering the two classics that preceded it. Perhaps those are in the list too. Not too much to get excited about, would be a 1 star if not for By the Time I Get to Arizona, which may just be the finest hip hop track I've ever heard. Bumps to 2. And hey, Anthrax is good fun too.

Brilliant record. Rocking, funky, soulful, proggy, and an incredible vocal performance on Wild is the Wind.

A few highlights like Not over Yet, Golden Skans (can see why they pucked those as singles), Isle of Her. Overall though I wouldn't ever be coming back to this one

On A Rope had a nice guitar hook, for a few seconds. That might be my only praise.

My main exposure to The Cure is Disintegration. This is a lot more dark and aggressive. One Hundred Years could be a Killing Joke track. Hints of Disintegration on the slower numbers like the haunting Siamese Twins and Cold, which is my favourite if the bunch.

Savane sounds like it could break out into Child In Time at any moment. Sadly it didn't.
