1001 Albums Summary

This album was very shoegaze adjacent, more than I thought it would be, but without the kind of grating noise that the worst examples of the genre are folly to. I liked the clean guitar sounds, and the lyrics that invoke the title of the album are very striking.

This album is basically showtunes

Did not like it. Kinda understand why John and George left the way they did.

Great live album he kills it

so fucking sick jam after jam

wasn’t the biggest fan - criminal sin was that none of the individual songs stood out to me

certified hood classic

classic

RIP

Really enjoyed this! Was expecting more hip-hop and was pleasantly surprised by the electronica/trip-hop elements

banger after banger

bangers

loved it

this is Bob Dylan at his finest - still the same provokingly imagistic lyrics but paired with an elevated musical sensibility from his work in the 60s. "you're gonna make me lonesome when you go" is so delightful in its yearning and melancholic joy and it is a true Dylanesque song in that no one can cover it well - it needs the unique grain and timbre of his voice "lily, rosemary, and the jack of hearts" might be one of the greatest examples of storytelling wrapped up in ghazal form "tangled up in blue" has such a strong, pulsing rhythm from the get-go and the color contrast between the song title and the album cover has always been one of my favorite details
