1001 Albums Summary

So i did a thing where you get one album off a 1001 "albums you have to listen before you die" list thing, and this one was my first one. Immediately after I looked at the name of the band and the genre I knew it was going to be a rough start but surprisingly enough, I really really FUCKING LOVED THIS RECORD. I really need to stop having judgements about hard rock/metal because just like with master of puppets, another album I thought I wouldn't like, I always get very pleasantly surprised. This album deserves all the praise in the World just based on the lyrics alone, they are so real and such a breath of fresh air. Here what you see is what you get, no sugarcoating. LOVED the guitar riffs, LOVED the vocals, LOVED the energy of every single band member. I loved how they were not afraid to slow in down in some songs and show variety, showcasing just how great they can sound in different genres, while also maintaining the autenticity in the lyrics and their esence in their energy and performance. I'd say maybe I thought one or two songs could've been cut shorter and I did not enjoy St. Vitus' Dance as much but apart from that this is just an amazing piece of art. Like I'm actually in awe of how good this is. What this album has taught me is that I really need to stop thinking a record is not for me just because it's something I'm not accustomed to, like I do not consider myself a rock or metal fan but fck this was amazing and I will definitely be overplaying it until I get tired of it in the coming weeks. FAV TRACK: Tomorrow's Dream LEAST FAV TRACK: St. Vitus' Dance HARD8/10 Also I love the title but they were right, Snowblind would've been 10000 times better.

Shit got me laying on my stomach swinging my feet- My first dip into Stevie Wonder and tbh I did expect to love it or at least find it nice, but nothing would've prepared me for what was to come - I slowly slowly started to be seducted by him like this man started to seduce meee. This album is gorgeous. The instrumentals and the vocals are so rich, the lyrics are so endearing, cute and so enjoyable, like they made me believe in true love for a hot second. This album is just so cute my only problem is that I have no one to dedicate it to😭. Im kidding obviously, my only issue with this album is that some do moments get a bit repetitive like the outro in maybe your baby, which I honestly did not enjoy; and maybe some songs could've been cut a bit shorter, so the lyrics and themes didn't get so repetitive as they do. But honestly, this album is just SO STUNNING it makes me not care about it being repetitive, like I will just close my ears at those moments and pretend they don't exist. Like I cannot in good faith shit on an album that has these lyrics: "But I'll blame it on the sun The sun that didn't shine I'll blame it on the wind and the trees I'll blame it on the time that never was enough I'll blame it on the tide and the sea But my heart blames it on me" ....Like I just wont. I refuse. You won't hear it from me. In conclusion, I'd say this is a great album with some repetitive moments and maybe one or two songs I didn't completely vibe with, but overall just an amazingly gorgeous record with some luscious instrumentation and vocals and extremely cute and beautiful lyrics. Nothing else to say except that that one song blame it on the sun... OOOOOF its over. That fxckng song might be top 50 songs oat for me, and on first listen too. SOOOOO GOOD. FAV TRACK: Blame it on the Sun LEAST FAV TRACK: Maybe your Baby HARD8/10 PS: I would've never guessed Stevie Wonder got that rizz dayummmm.

Cute folk record. LOVED the instrumentals and I love how odd the lyrics are in some spots, I also rlly liked how groovy it can be. Maybe the songs could've been cut a bit shorter, as the instrumentals don't really change much during the duration of the tracks but I think that as a more background record it is extremely enjoyable. I had to do an essay for school and I did a lot of progress on it on my second time listening to it, so thanks for that. FAV SONG: Glad LEAST FAV SONG: John Barleycorn EASY8/10

YASSSSS. A classic. MEDIUM9/10
