1001 Albums Summary

Overall, I wasn’t a big fan for the first half of the album, but once I got to the middle, my mind really changed. I think the album in general was ahead of its time, but some of the songs don’t have a huge replay effect for me. I will say that I’m overall impressed with the last half of the album though. This half sounds the most modern to me, and has more replay ability. I also can hear how this band may have influenced others that came after it in the last half. I will say that I much preferred songs that were mostly, if not all instrumental. I didn’t enjoy the singing that much for some reason. I liked Roundabout, but it also reminded me of a meme, so it was hard to enjoy it without just thinking of the meme. Another one that I liked was Long Distance Runaround. It felt like it was missing something that I can’t put my finger on though. I almost didn’t add it to my playlist, but started to like it a lot more once the song was almost over. Additionally, I also do think that it sounded ahead of its time as well. The Fish also was surprisingly good. It caught my attention for sure. Mood for a Day’s guitar is really soothing and has Spanish vibes to it (and also Greek vibes??). Metallica’s Battery intro feels similar as well, and I wonder if they were inspired by this track. Heart of the Sunrise is really something else. It’s a song that I haven’t added to my playlist, but one that I think deserves more than one listen. It has some nice riffs in there (once again, I feel like somewhat ahead of its time), albeit quite long. Some parts of the song I liked more than others. America was also surprisingly really good, and deserves another listen. Both this and the previous song are a bit too long for me. Hearing Roundabout for the second time makes me like it a lot more.

Not a fan at all. I wanted to hurry up and get through this album asap. Overall, the album was just boring to me. Nothing stood out as something I’d want to hear again or was particularly unique. Personality Crisis wasn’t too bad. It sounded like something I’d hear on the classic rock station, but wouldn’t think to add it to my playlist. Frankenstein wasn’t too bad. I liked most of it except the vocals. He sounded drunk and sloppy. Wasn’t feeling that at all. Trash is the first song so far in which I like the vocals. I actually kind’ve like Bad Girl a lot. Song is easy to follow and vocals are good.

I really like this album. I listened to it more than once. First time that has happened so far! I’d give it 4 stars for really good. Think I’ll reserve 5 stars for the truly special, listen to every song, albums.

Not really feeling this, but I’m not sure why. Nothing stands out to me and it all kind’ve just sounds like something I could hear playing in the background while listening to older rock music. Idk, it was overall kind’ve boring to me. Won’t Get Fooled Again wasn’t bad. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it before.

Eh…. Led Zeppelin isn’t my favorite. A lot of the music on this albums feels the same to me. Listening to it felt long and as if it dragged on. Once again, nothing jumped out to make me want to add it to a playlist. With that being said, I enjoyed the beats and instruments for many of the songs, but the singing makes every song sound really redundant to me.
