1001 Albums Summary

Reminds me of Radiohead but with more explicit theming. The instrumentals are really good but no specific attention grabbing tracks for me

Lacking a cohesive theme in the album. I can see how this influenced many alternative bands like sonic youth etc but a lot of the tracks sound the same

Amazing sonic depth, the whole album is fun to listen to. I especially liked No Compassion because it felt like multiple songs rolled into one, almost like a wild jam session

The novelty dies off after the first song or two. I did enjoy the first song on the album though (it helped me get into a good grove while I was biking), and it kind of felt like I was inside an 8 bit arcade game. I can also see how this has influenced many electronic artists that came after (Daft Punk, etc.).

Had to listen to this one on YouTube because Spotify didn’t have it available. Their sound is very basic and garage band sounding but I like the intro speaking their truth about it Vietnam war and it’s interesting it was put together by some American GIs based in Germany

Amazing sound and Connell’s vocals are undeniably epic/raw. My only personal reason for 4 stars is the album is quite depressing

The concept is interesting and sonically this band is quite good. However, most of these songs are kind of forgettable in my opinion, nothing really stands out and I’m not a big fan of the late 2000’s electronic music era

Really bright album, Brian Wilson’s voice is so uplifting which is crazy to think about given his depression in real life. That being said, I am docking 1 star for it almost having an artificial nature, nobody can be that positive all the time
