1001 Albums Summary

American Girl carries the album pretty hard. The rest of it is fine 70s rock, though it is a little boring. That last song is damn good though. Boring for the most part, but it’s pretty short, so that’s not a huge deal. Definitely wouldn’t put this in a list of 1089 albums you need to hear before you die if it were me making the list.

I knew I was in trouble when I felt like I’d been listening to Round & Round for ages when I was less than a third of the way through the song. Boring, overrated album with songs that go on way too long with not much going on in them. For a band called Crazy Horse, their music is pretty standard-sounding and even pretty sparse on some of these songs. The awful high pitched singing voice Young uses also isn’t doing the album any favors. I like Neil Young’s politics, but Spotify was genuinely a better place in the two years that his music was gone from the platform. I did like the guitar solo near the end of Down By The River, though.

Hell yeah this rocked. A little bit too much time spent on songs that had basically nothing besides guitar towards the end but otherwise, this was great.

Not exactly my thing with the sort of sparse instrumentation, but it was okay. I only really liked Blister in the Sun, Prove My Love, and Promise.
