1001 Albums Summary

There is a reason why this is one of the most influential and essential Flower Power albums; it just sounds AMAZING. How do they got that gloomy, murky, echoey but clear and mesmerizing sound in '67 is something I still can't explain.

The "singer" can't sing shit. They act like they don't care about it but sometimes it sounds like the only purpose of the music is to cover up those enerving squeaking and out of tune half-screams with some terrible results.

Yes. This is some of the finest pop music ever put on record.

The album cover matches de music perfectly: - Hey, these are some things I see and hear every day. These are some things I know. I wrote songs about them. Would you listen to them? - Yes Mrs. Chapman. I think i will… A resounding 5 for so much pain and knowledge presented in such a humble, sincere and beautiful way. This is art.

They don't make them like this anymore.

It's not bad. But definitely not great. Some songs are probably okay, most of them pretty decent but you kinda forget all about them as soon as they are over. So that's the problem. You sure can hear this record before you die, but what's the point if you probably won't remember you ever did?
