1001 Albums Summary

Approx. 40 minutes. Enjoyed the high energy sound, drums, and vocals. Standout song - "Tom Sawyer". (7/10)

Approx 52 mins. Soft, ethereal, layered vocals from 2000's singer/songwriter. Lyrically interesting. (6/10)

(Approx. 27 mins) A stand out lyrically. Speaks with a raw honesty about life: mothers, men, poverty, and the meaning of it all (the mystery). Not sure we could have had, "Golden Hour" if this album didn't exist. I never noticed how absent mothers/motherhood is in country music. (7/10)

Approx. 47 mins. Ethereal prog/alt jazz with dark lyrics swirled together made for a quiet listening experience on a cold, gray day. (5/10)

Approx. 47 mins. High energy, lyrically compelling. Considered the original arena rock band and backed up by the sound. Their lyrics show a down-to-earth-ness I wasn't expecting. (7/10)

Approx. 63 mins. How fun! Takeover's lyrics are brutal as hell. (8/10)

(Approx. 40 mins) Bops, punk and indie mashes with great instrumentals and a distinct sound and vocals. (6/10) Had no clue "Alright" was this band, good to know!

(Approx. 40 mins) Melodies catchy and kinda timeless. Maybe seems a bit overhyped as the lead singer from The Smiths. Or I was in a weird mood today. (5/10) Revisited later that night. Appreciated the enunciation of lyrics. Impressive lyrical depth for the 80s. Made me think of T. Swift 25 years later. (6/10)

(Approx. 62 mins.) Early punk rock. Singular sound, lots of spoken lyrics. (5/10)

(Approx. 93 mins) Upbeat, Brits giving blues, punk, and rock sounds. Seem way ahead of their time for some of the sounds. Standout song - "Shapes in My Mind". (8/10)

Couldn't listen uninterrupted on Spotify. Was clicking through ads throughout the album. Mostly enjoyed.

Dreamy soundscape, found unengaging. Lyrically uninteresting. (4/10)

(est. 41 mins) Was looking for more sonic variation between songs. However, found listening experience positive. Song stand out: Iron Man. (3.8/5)
