1001 Albums Summary

Some good songs but overall not the best representation of soul, as even Bowie agreed with.

Just banger after banger. Favourites: World in My Eyes Personal Jesus Enjoy the Silence** Halo Policy of Truth*

The title track is iconic. Love Black Sabbath, but I prefer their later heavier stuff. Still, its impact on heavy metal is undeniable.

Kinda repetitive and simple, but can understand why it is a pioneer in punk.

Strong return to form by Bowie after Young Americans.

Took a couple listens for it to click, especially Moribund the Burgermeister but I'm glad I did. Moribund and Solsbury Hill was a strong start; it dropped off a bit in the middle of the album. Didn't hate Excuse Me like a number of people seem to, but definitely one of the weaker tracks. Humdrum I feel was the weakest, was a bit too meandering; enjoyed the blues slow build of Waiting for the Big One. Here Comes The Flood is a masterpiece, will definitely be coming back to this album again.

Was interesting for the first half, got repetitive in the latter half. Probably would enjoyed all the songs individually outside of an album. Will have to come back to this to see if opinions change.

Good background music.

First time hearing of Nick Drake but wow, what a beautiful album. And I don't even listen to folk like that.

Some very pretty sounds, drags for a bit too long.
