1001 Albums Summary

It was okay, enjoyed the first couple songs but the. It got a bit samey, No real standouts

Long listen

Listened before : No Listen again : No I wasn’t a huge fan of this, it felt a bit like it was going through the motions. I’m don’t love psycho killer which didn’t help. The song about the American civil service was a low point.

Listened before : Yes Listen again : Yes Fantastic album, highlights for me are cloud bursting and jig of life. The only low point in the album is mother stands for comfort which I find a bit monotonous

Listened before : No Listen again : No   I came into this album as a fan of elton johns biggest hits, but I haven't really listened to much of his music beyond that. I feel tiny dancer sets the tone of the album pretty well, the whole thing feels like it would make a good gang show item. Sitar background of Holiday Inn worked for me and gave the track quite a joyful, nae whimsical feeling. Piano throughout is mint, but you would expect that.   Standouts: Tiny dancer (ofc), Holiday Inn, All The Nasties

Listened before : No Listen again : Yes   Iconic songs that gave iconic samples. I don't think i'd skip a song on it. Highlights: That Lady, Summer Breeze.

Couldn’t get past the first couple songs

Couldn’t get through it

So so

I don’t rember it

Catching up, there’s nothing on this I really enjoyed apart from the second song which had a bit of a crash bandicoot vibe. Half way to putting it as a 2 for that but no

Highlight was flowers never bend with the rainfall, added to a couple playlists. Beautiful. None of the rest of the album stood out too much to me

Big fan of this, and will definitely listen again. It is too long to listen in one sitting so I split it in two. There were a few highlights for me; Tonight Tonight, Zero, We only come out at night, By starlight and 1979. No skips for me. I think it was better when it was a bit lighter, but even the heavier stuff was really good. Must be sweet to watch like. 4.5/5

There were some really good tracks on this and some that felt like a drag (Actually not the 9 minute one). This really felt like some really talented guys flexing their muscles and every second of the album has some aspect (guitar or drum) turned up to a 10. I think at points that works to the detriment, they should have stopped to thing if aspects actually sounded good or if they were just technically there. Biggest drawback was the vocals which I found weak. This was a toss up between a 3 or a 4 but the final song brought it down for me. I sold enough to try some of their other stuff on the back of this.
