1001 Albums Summary

Low-Life by New Order

Listened 6th October, owned on vinyl but probably the New Order album I've listened to least. Feels like it marks the mid point of the transition to New Order from Joy Division, finding the balance between electronic experiment and post punk industrial.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys have never been on my list of must listen to bands Even though Pet Sounds is lauded as a turning point for the band and their style it still feels lyrically challenged in the main while musically attempting to be more mature than they can pull off.
