1001 Albums Summary

Remarkable somber album. Powerful in its simplicity. Sad but still optimistic. You can glimpse the burgeoning soaring, sonic instrumentals that would burst out in later albums and eventually drag them into excess, but this is a mostly quiet album. Reflective. Peaceful. Nothing deep lyrically, but nothing extraneous or batshit insane either. It’s not cohesive enough to be a 5 star album, but it’s just lovely music for a rainy day.
