1001 Albums Summary

An album of good vibes. Loved the guitar solo on concrete jungle

Cool album. Lots of 2 chord structures, very indie, sultry and cool. Had some elements of Jeff Buckley in it

This album surprised me, having known Curtis Mayfield for more upbeat and funky songs, this album had a real groove to it. Billy Jack has a real groovy bass to it that I enjoyed and Hard Times is a classic I’ve heard many times covered by other artists not realising it was a Curtis song.

Never been a massive fan of this chuggy, scratchy style of metal riffs. There are some cool passages in the last few songs strange world, Charlotte harlot and iron maiden, but album had already lost me by that time

There is some great songwriting in there, but also so chaff. I always enjoyed Bridge over troubled water but the end all gets a bit much for me, seems an unnecessary place for a song like that to build to. Cecilia and the Boxer are absolute classic songs, I was surprised by Keep the Customer Satisfied, Baby Driver, Bye bye bye and why don’t you write me.

I felt this album was a bit bland. Weren’t any particularly catchy tunes so songs I’d really dance to which I would expect from the temptations.

Great album. Such powerful songs with such simple instrumentations.

Like the last few tracks on this album. I can see why this would have been so influential at the time. Just not my thing for a lot of the album.

Can hear the influence on Turnstile in here, good album some really good tracks. I was expecting a bit more in your face type Punk from what I knew of Bad Brains. Decent Album.

Great album! Such great song writing

Sounds like hillbilly hymns.

MBV had always passed me by, I think I am ok with that.

Super interesting album with great blends of Latin and Asian influences on top of great modern beats

Amazing Melodie’s, harmonies, great catchy pop songs. Cool Asian/Indian influences

Meh. I don’t get the feeling coming through this that I get from more modern rap. Feels a bit soulless but perhaps i lack understanding of the references etc

Some amazing dark and textured beats. I always looked the intonation of Kanyes rapping. Shame he’s a nutter… hard to put that to one side listening.

Superb album no notes

Cool album with some nice textures to it. Can see the trip hop vibes coming through

I love the vibe. It’s a great dinner party album, although a bit too reminiscent of sitting in Nando’s
