1001 Albums Summary

I couldn't listen to all of the songs all the way through. I understand swearing is a part of certain genres/ albums, but it's hard for me to listen to when there's a large quantity of it. To be honest there isn't a lot of rap that catches my attention. However, I did like the jazz influence in this album and listening to some of the themes in the lyrics. If rap was more of my cup of tea, I could see myself liking this more. I liked King Kunta and These Walls in this album.

Agree with Andy and Sean. Seems a little all over the place.

I think this is an excellent album. I feel like most of the tracks are different enough from each other to be recognizable but similar enough to have the same vibe throughout the album. Of course, we see their classic The Light Never Goes Out and one of my favorites by them. A couple of my other favorites of this album are Frankly, Mr. Shankly, and Bigmouth Strikes Again. This is a classic Smiths album and definitely worth a listen.

Do You Realize that this is a great album? I feel like I'm floating through space. It's a nice album to chill out and maybe bob your head here and there to the beat.

First, I love the Spanish right off the bat in "Stop". This song has a great drive and guitar part and the guitar solo is rockin'. I have to say I enjoyed the sound in most of these songs. The guitars DRIVE and I dig it. Makes me want to jam out on Rock Band or Guitar Hero. The beginning of "Ain't No Right" was a little odd for me but the rest of it was good, the drums were great in this one. "Been Caught Stealing" was a bop. "Three Days" is a very long song at almost 11 minutes but is worth a listen. The drums really drive the song and it has a lot of great guitar parts to it as well. Overall, I enjoyed listening to this album. Kept me toe tappin' and head bobbin' throughout the whole thing.
