1001 Albums Summary

I'm from 1995 growing up on a hodgepodge melting pot of Eminem, AcDc, Sinatra, D. Martin, Jumper Bruno, Bruno Mars, Tash Sultana, Beastie Boys, etc. The album felt slower at times compared to the music I'm used to, the lyrics are more compressed but more composed because of it. Some of songs drag the lyrics out to set the stage for an instrumental, but it makes the compression of the lyrics harder, because to me, there's more time in the rhythm to put more feelings and words together for the audience. The Doors themselves do very well. They're rascals who touch on any topic of emotions they can, from being in a backdoor affair to mourning their mothers, while stepping forward and jiving with life. I just think the time they were in created standards that limited them, and they'd do very well for the 80s instead of the 60s

This was definitely what rock music was like between 2000 and 1990, from the vocals and the array of music on the album with only one song becoming a staple. It had a few songs I could go without hearing them again, but that doesnt make the conviction the artist had any less real!

You can certainly tell the 2010's started getting emotional with the generations music with Lorde. If its not about the love your not getting outside, it's about the love your yearning inside. She's got great vocals, good beats and really knows what she's there to sing about. I just think having tunnel vision for that feeling of being ashamed makes you feel bummed out. It would've been cooler to hear her sing out a narrative talking about the overwhelming feelings she keeps under the surface

Well, I don't think the funk scene is for me. I'm not a big fan of the drawn-out music, it almost makes me sweat with anticipation on where the "center" of the song is. And the "center" of Curtis's album is the actual story being told, where music is used as an accent to the song being played, like when the drummer lightly and quickly taps the tambourine to imitate walking, or the punctuation of the drums to mimic a gunshot. With all this being said, I know music like this is from before me, and was also a cornerstone, both to history and to developing the music we have today. I can see why someone's passed on grandpappy would be disappointed in my review, but this isn't America today.
