1001 Albums Summary

It's... fine. Not great, really. Some catchy stuff, but it's largely boring. Just not my thing, I guess, but I do like the title track.

Melancholy, but relaxing. If Kid A is like trekking through a frigid wasteland, then Amnesiac is like relaxing inside a warm cabin with the wasteland outside. Pyramid Song is gorgeous and my personal favorite track out of my current progress through Radiohead's catalog. Morning Bell isn't as good as the version on Kid A, but it fits the tone well here.

She's got a gorgeous voice. The production on this album is amazingly lush and dense in a way that keeps things interesting across each track. I didn't know what to expect but this really blew me away. I knew "The Windmills of Your Mind" from The Muppet Show, so having it on here caught me off guard. A song I remembered as funny as a kid now feels painfully real. Definitely my favorite track here. Everything else ranges from good to very good. Enjoyable, and it makes me glad to be doing this challenge.

Fun, energetic, and raw, the kind of music it's impossible not to tap your foot to.

I could imagine putting this on at random times while doing other things with the funky, high energy compositions. All of the musicians seem super talented. I don't click with it enough to see it as a "great" album, more a "good" album. I'd give it a 7 if this were a 10 point scale.

I didn't care for this one, Live At The Harlem Square Club was a much more enjoyable live album. There wasn't anything for me to latch onto here.

Kind of samey across the tracklist. It's like identical pieces arranged in slightly different ways each track.

The Beastie Boys have tons of charisma, and there's a good deal of variety in this album's production. There's strong frat boy vibes here, but they have a great time with it. A fun listen.
