1001 Albums Summary

This album made me want to crack a cold one and mow my lawn or wrench on my truck. good ol souther rock. favorite song dead drunk and naked least fav song three great alabama icons

GOOD GOD this one was rough. no one should be making a 2 hour album. this whole thing was pretty forgettable most of the songs sounded the same to me. I did notice some of the songs seemed to transition into each other nicely. i’m sure my opinion of this album would change on a second listen but at 2hours 1 min we know that ain’t happening again.

I have never listened to the doors i am a loser i know. whole album had a great vibe until “alabama song”(least fav track) came on and threw me wayyyy off. some of the lyrics are a little rapey and kinda weird. Favorite track was “Light my fire”. the guitar solo towards the middle reminded me of the solo in magic carpet ride by steppenwolf. I probably wouldn’t listen to this album again but i did add a few songs to my playlist.

Frank was really in his bag with this one. Every song on this album flowed so perfectly into the next, sometimes i couldn’t even tell if a new song had started. I noticed a lot of the lyrics don’t seem to rhyme but the way Frank portrays his heart break is beautiful. Incredibly refreshing to hear break up songs that are written with a more optimistic and future forward mindset. I feel like my rating of this is slightly skewed as i am coming out of a recent breakup and a lot of these lyrics were very relatable to what i’m feeling currently. I joined this album grind late but this has easily been my favorite so far. Fav songs I Get Along Without You Very Well & Can’t We Be Friends ?

I don’t have a lot to say for this one. Was definitely way better than mellon collie. This is the smashing pumpkins i know and love. The embodiment of late 90s early 2000s rock. was kind of interesting to see how their sound changed between the two albums.
