The five hundred and sixtieth album: #560 The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Avoiding use of the synthesizer and other excesses of their contemporaries, Psychocandy doesn't sound stripped down. It brings in the noise distortion that featured in the earliest rock albums, with songs that feel in the same vein, even if the lyrics aren't as innocent. Instead, it takes that punk edge and adds it in. The vocals feel a lot more classic though, a place where you'd expect some harmonies if they were a band to go there as well. Unfortunately it does wear out its welcome after a while, with the repeated distortion becoming obnoxious as often as it's welcome.
