1001 Albums Summary

High-octane start to the scheme. Lots of the songs sound very similar but that doesn't really matter if the blueprint is a banger. Great album. Made me wanna sniff some glue.

Listened to the first half of this in a post-World Cup ketamine inflicted stupor, which, as it turns out, is absolutely the correct way to listen to this album as I enjoyed it quite a lot less on the second listen. Found some of the songs pretty tedious but some good ones too. 'Exit Music', 'Electioneering' and 'No Surprises' were the highlights for me.

I thought this would be a slog without the visual accompaniment of the film, which is a masterpiece, but I really enjoyed it. Film is still a better experience but the album is a good listen regardless and you can still get a sense of the story without the visuals.

Loved the song with Nicki Minaj and generally the production side was good. I just find his voice too annoying to enjoy it very much.
