1001 Albums Summary

Fun drum and beat album which at the time was probably near the top of the game. It does start with a song repeating the phrase "smack my bitch up" which is not great.

Some fun songs including the classic "Passengers" but they do open the album up with a second song about lust for underage girls so that's weird but I guess it was the 70s. I don't think he has a good voice either

Classic hits with Changes and Life on Mars, three songs that are tributes or diss tracks to other artists, and overall weird vibes. Love it

Couldn't make it all the way through. I know it's an artsy jazz that is meant to be listened to in stereo, probably while smoking clove cigarettes in a dark backroom and discussing Faulkner's grand metaphors or some shit. But I couldn't think with this playing at a relatively low volume. Maybe that's the point? Don't think and just listen? Too high brow for me

Twang about love in a time of boozing.

I like REM in my mind but listening back to this, it's fine but not that exciting. But it did remind me of Chicken Little so that's good

Spacey beats, v enjoyable
