1001 Albums Summary

Most definitely not something I’d usually listen to, but it’s the first day of this project so we’ll see how it goes. But yeah… I’ve heard worse? Not sure I’m gonna be much of a soul fan. The end of most of the songs seemed a bit nicer-sounding. Potentially just paying less attention by the end though? I Heard Love is Blind and (There is) No Greater Love seemed nicest of the bunch (so far) in terms of sound. For some reason it only seems to sound good when I stop paying attention to it. Not exactly meant in a bad way, just an interesting observation. Progressively getting more into it! Turns out to be rather a chill album. I rarely pay attention to lyrics so this is not much of a deal, but I’m not sure if I’m a fan of the nature of the lyrics, particularly in Amy Amy Amy. Generally a very nice introduction to the 1001 albums project! I think I warmed up to Amy Winehouse a little in the end after all.

Good music, a very vintagey morning vibe.

I hate to say it, but pretty much all of it is a little disappointing. The sounds feel far too distorted for my taste and there’s a lot of constant rumbling that makes my head hurt. The rest just feels depressing. Not their best. You and Whose Army? is a bit better (no longer feels like my brain wants to jump out of my head) but a bit meh.
