Today's #1001albums again nicely matching #CDFriday, allowing me to enjoy the classic Franz Ferdinand from 2004. I think we're going to have a good time.
I love it when #1001albums overlaps with a #CD I have, so today I can enjoy Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band for #CDFriday.
No surprises, but this will be βββββ
Today's #CDFriday play is Japandroid's 2024 Fate & Alcohol.
This is their last and clearly not best record; actually it's probably their worst. It feels mostly like a bit of a missed opportunity. Their music was always very centered on the idea of 'epic nights out', but at this point they've got families etc. I would have loved it if their music had made the transition with them into middle age - how interesting could that have been?
But between the cringe lyrics and songs that sound like a self parody, it still does have some excellent moments, like Upon Sober Reflection and Fugitive Summer. But they do feel like playing the hits.
So today's #1001albums , and my 100th, is Different Class by Pulp, which since I have a copy can double up as my #CDFriday play.
No spoilers, but this is going to be a βββββ review.
