1001 Albums Summary

not only was the instrumentation on this album very good, but princes vocals where phenomenal as well. imo the eccentric + funky guitar solos throughout this album are what really make it. though i don’t think many songs on this album will be on my regular rotation cause they have that 80s sound im not too fond of, i enjoyed almost every track and i can see why this album is so iconic

for this to be my first Rolling Stones album, it was just a little disappointing because i was a bit bored in the beginning (UK version). the tracks kind of just blend together, so there’s not really anything that stands out. the one song that i really liked initially was Going Home, but then it dragged for so long that it kind of ruined it for me (and i tend to like longer songs). there was also some questionable lyrics….but besides that out of the tracks that i did like, they were incredibly catchy and had nice melodies. i love the classic rock and blues sound. I’ll have to listen to the US version all the way through another time and rate this again. (i noticed that Paint it Black is the opener and the tracks are rearranged in a different manner, which probably makes a big difference) overall, pretty ok album.
