1001 Albums Summary

WHAT A VIBE Came into this album having a preconceived notion of what Radiohead sounded like and it wasn’t necessarily completely off, but this was way better than what I anticipated. Some of the songs I could appreciate but acknowledge I wouldn’t want to hear on a daily or even annual basis - they were good just not for me. A few of the songs made me instantly think that a new playlist should be started and that it fits winter so well. The lyrics probably need another listen for a proper dissection but for me what really stuck out was the entire vibe. The guitar tones were realllyyyy nice too. 8/10

Initially was reluctant to listen to this one bc “I know what REM sounds like”. Glad I chose to ignore that thought and make myself listen to it. What a treat it was. A little cheesy at some parts, it makes up for it in just plain fucking heart. I love the singer’s vocals on the last track especially. This is another album that’s giving me winter SAD and anti-sad vibes (like the song standing). It gave me some energy and some light on this dreary day so I’ll give it a solid 6.5/10

7/10, I enjoyed it but not sure how it fits into my current playlists or my rotation in general. That’s a me problem tho. Gin and juice is an obvious banger.

Hell yeah, didn’t realize this is where John Mayer got his first song from
