Tapestry
Carole King
Overall A really mellow oldtimey album with some upbeat and melancholy songs its good to put on the background. i give it 3/5 its good but not extraordinary
I feel the Earth move - I really dig this vibe, i like the pace of the song a lot, and the instruments the lyrics are not bad either.
So far away - Good bass, melancholy vibes but not enough for a sad song, still really good.
It's too late - I feel like the vibe don't match the lyrics but i still like them both, Lyrics are what stands out the most tho.
Beautiful - Really cute song I like the vibe and lyrics.
--"At this point i start to get the formula of the album all the songs have sort of same pace to them its not bad they all work in their own ways"--
Way Over Yonder - We slow Down quite a bit, i love the backing voices and the piano on this one, the solo with the trumpet is nice too, i feel like here i can truly appreciate her voice more.
You've got a friend - Sort of the same vibe as Beautiful but turned into love song (or friendship song), we are keeping this sort of powerful slow tempo which i think suits her better.
Where you lead - Its the same song as You've got a friend but more upbeat, and faster tempo, i prefer You've got a friend over this one.
Will you still love me tomorrow? - I didn't really like this one not much to say about it, slow song with sad lyrics.
Smackwater Jack? - I love the piano on this one and the swing vibe it gives its well put together and the story in interesting and fun, strong old west vibes.
Tapestry - The main song of the album, I like the lyrics a lot but not much else, of course that is the main selling point.
A Natural Woman - I like the song but it felt the same as others in this album

Seven Nation Army - Timeless classic, extremely simple song with great flow and powerful Instruments, Maybe a little overplayed but that doesn't mean is any less good, very solid start for the album.
Black Math - Now i go into uncharted territory and I'm pleasantly surprised, i really like the muddy feel of the instruments and how powerful the song is i liked the changes in beat a lot too, it gave the song lots of spice.
There's No Home For You Here - Great start of the song setting up the mood and the scene, although the song is on the softer side on the verses it gives great buildup to every chorus, with great guitars and bass al the way. Really like this song, lyrics are nothing to brag about tho and i believe most of the album will be the same.
-- "Now that i have a little bit of feel of the first few songs i can say i will like this album, the lyrics are really not that profound, but that is not always bad, instruments are very well put in each song" --
I just Don't Know What To Do With Myself - Conveys the vibes it wants very well, the instruments match the lyrics perfectly, just a loud song to scream and complain.
In the Cold, Cold Night - Sudden change of pace with a slower tempo and softer quieter song, its refreshing, also very good rhythm, its a bop.
I Want To Be The Boy... - Desperate love song from a boy with keyboard base, great guitar solo not much too say about this one, its good but kinda seems out of place.
You've Got Her In Your Pocket - Soft acoustic guitar song, I like the lyrics and how they talk about to appreciate your partner, also seems kinda out place but its better because of the last song setting the mood.
Ball And Biscuit - Great Song with amazing guitar intervention, not much to say if you like blues and rock you will like this song.
The hardest button to button - We come back again to a more classic rock style song with this one but is not really that flashy as the other ones.
Little Acorns - Another rock heavy song leaning more to the heavy and dirty side, Good intro and good pacing overall.
