1001 Albums Summary

Sounds like that band Cake, the one that did the long jacket song. But, with more electronic elements till the last sing which is piano-based.

Wish this album was a little weirder. Liked the song 'Mother' the most. Either it's not Sting, or, Sting really pushes his vocals in a different direction. Has a very cool desert psychedelic vibe.

ACAB.

I like the first syllable rhymes he does with LACES of my shoes, and FREIGHT train. "Twist of Fate" I never heard before, great song. Jeff Buckley does a better "If you see her, say hello" but Bob wrote it, I guess.

Way better than The Police.

I broke my leg in the summer this song was popular. I remember staying in the hospital overnight and just couldn't keep this song out of my head while in agonizing pain.

Prince is an incredible guitar shredder! It's like if every song feels like "Beat It".

It's like flipping through the radio stations in the 50s and 60s and hearing a mix of all the kinds of songs from that Era.

It's like all those Elephant 6 bands in Athens listened to this and then made records.

A fun pop record! Also really involved piano songs. Not too dissimilar to Queen ballads.

Didn't know how big of pompous jerks the Pink Floyd really were, but really glad Clare Torry finally got paid for her vocals in 2005. "Great Gig in the Sky" still impresses me.

Showing off all their talented music skills on this record has aged well, unfortunately some misogynistic messages have not.
