1001 Albums Summary

I almost didn't finish listening to it. Perhaps if I had been around at the time of release, I'd have a greater appreciation for this album. There were some moments on the record that had me moving but those were few and far between.

This is not a Beatles album that I've heard before. It was quite interesting, I feel like I could hear the seeds being sewn for albums to come. Funnily enough, I have heard their first album "Please Please Me" before and there are a few tracks on that I really like. All in all, I don't think it's as good as their first and I don't think it's as good as later records. It's okay

I wasn't sure what to expect with this record. I'd of course heard "Royals" but not much else from Lorde. It was okay. I didn't hate it but I also didn't love it. It's just not my cup of tea. Lyrically she's quite clever. Her lyrics had me chuckling a few times or brought a memory, but I wasn't *moved*.

I enjoyed this. His voice and guitar are warm and gentle, the songs are tinged with wistfulness and melancholia. I imagine this must've been quite a change of pace when compared to popular albums at the time. River Man was the stand-out track for me, I found that I was paying more attention because of it. That being said, I don't know that it's something I'll listen to again in a hurry.

It was a pleasant listen with some funky moments, Papa Was A Rollin' Stone is the obvious standout track.
