My 1001 Albums Journey

Start is a bit fuckin weird and meandering. Track 1 alternates between beautiful & haunting and flat out annoying as fuck Lorelei is pretty good Beatrix is creepy and interesting Persephone is bluesy and heavy. Twin peaks roadhousey Pandora is dream pop incarnated. Gorgeous Donimo closer is solid beautiful melancholy. I haven’t understood a single goddamn word on this album. The album got off to a weak start—Ivo is one of the most annoying tracks I’ve heard. Ended up being a sweet, eery melancholy great dream pop album. A great pick to put on a night road trip. Gives me vibes of late nights before the sleep takes over just before the sun rises.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

2/5

Halfway through. Very ok. Nothing good other than a few tracks and the obvious special one. Really paints the hippie generation as annoying and whiny as fuck. Really just a fad relic of the 60s without any particular staying power lyrically or musically. Only track that really slaps is California Dreamin. Everything else save for maybe Go Where you wanna go is forgettable at best If anything it’s the perfect metaphor for the hippie generation: idealistic, heart more or less in a good place, but ineffective, escapist, and doesn’t really accomplish what it thinks it’s doing.
