1001 Albums Summary

Graceland by Paul Simon

I really like the clear, bright sounds on this album. I think the production is my favorite part of this album. A lot of the licks are very catchy (Graceland, You Can Call Me Al), but they can get pretty repetitive. Simon seems to have a fairly small register, which makes his songs feel sing-songy compared to other artists like Peter Gabriel.

Protection by Massive Attack

Cool sounds but best for me as background music rather than the main attraction.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco

Sounded okay, but I was always startled by the dissonance between songs.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Great album!

Metallica by Metallica

Clandestino by Manu Chao

Not quite my jam, although Bongo Bong is a bop!

Synchronicity by The Police

Needs active listening to appreciate. Lots of interesting sounds!
