Right, here we go, day 1!
Solid start to the journey, avoiding some of the more controversial albums on the list that will go down better once I’m settled into the routine. Having heard a few individual songs from this record before, I was relieved when I saw it as album 1 and dived in with a fair amount of anticipation.
And for the most part was not disappointed. The highs here are high, “Black Hole Sun” and “Let Me Drown” being in my top 2. I just feel that it went on a bit too long with a run time of 70 minutes, maybe cutting a few of the tracks would have been beneficial. That being said, I can see why it’s regarded as one of the defining albums of its genre and would be one I’d like to return to in the future.
Overall, I’ll go with 3.5, but that might increase over time. Looking forward to what the next 3 and a bit years will bring!

Great record, easily in the top 5 Beatles solo records. “Imagine’ gets a lot of flack for being overplayed and maybe rightly so, but tracks like ‘Jealous Guy’ and ‘I Don’t Wanna…’ are outstanding. And ‘Oh My Love’ is an underrated gem. 4.5

I was 15 when the album came out and I fell in love with it, it really helped me discover a whole world of music.
If possible I’d give a 4.5 as a couple of songs could have been left off the record. But my 15 year old self wouldn’t forgive me if I gave it a 4 so has to be a 5.
