1001 Albums Summary

Tony is good at guitar.

The power of teamwork.

A few cool surprises, but not many.

Great songs.

Not bad, but they can do better (and they did).

Some parts feel dated, other parts feel timeless.

Occasionally the quality of the songwriting rises to the level of the musicianship, but mostly it does not.

The eternal sound of the 1980s.

Songs written to be put to work.

Got this one on the day Dolly Parton died, which gave it a particular meaning to me.

Amazing. Every song feels like its own world.

Expansive and experimental.

The songwriting is a bit uneven, and some tracks are more compelling than others, but the guitar is always excellent.

The love songs hit me harder than the bitter songs on this one.

It grew on me. It has a focused concept and great vocals, but it drags in a lot of places.

Ritual witch chanting groove music.

I love this album. I think they make a reference to every song ever written, including all the songs on The Score by Fugees.
