1001 Albums Summary

Herion's great huh

Time to admit I will never get jazz

Stone cold bangers and basically the blueprint for any post-punk music today

feels like this is an illegal nay say but drops off massively after 3 or 4 songs

Didn't grab me!

Bollocks for simpletons

35 mins of rock solid indie rock. So good and it doesn’t even contain Just Like Honey!

There’s underrated, then there’s this absolute gem of a record. Smoother than Nigel Havers dipped in caramel and wrapped in silk.

‘Getting into Steely Dan’ is a middle ages pursuit I won’t be joining in with

Felt almost like a parody of 60s folk at first to my 21st century ears, but really grew on me. A sailor's life and percy's song are great especially.

It's a bit too Tomorrow's World for me

we really lived in a cultural wilderness in the late 00s, didn't we

perfect pop album, no notes

It sounds too much like edu-rap to me

Aside from the couple of hits, really underwhelming

The perfect post-punk album. No notes

Probably fine live in a crowded bar for 20 minutes (where they play Come on Eileen three times over). But this is a slog

The name Deep Purple is actually a reference to the colour the average listener’s face goes as their body instinctively cuts off oxygen to the brain to provide merciful relief from hearing any more of this album after the second or third track. I liked the vocals though

Pleasant without ever being really noticeable

So much wailing

Plenty of bands that do this but much more memorably
