1001 Albums Summary

Mother’s Little Helper, Under My Thumb, and Out of Time are really good. The rest is pretty forgettable.

Easily 5/5

Funky. Nice funk/soul instrumentals. Shallow lyrics. Audio quality is poor on certain songs.

I’ve listened to this album several times before and it is one of my favourite Sabbath albums. Every track here except FX is great and the outro to Under The Sun is one of the heaviest riffs I have ever heard.

This is one of my favourite albums of all time.

The bass tone on the opening track is wonderfully crunchy and the guitar occasionally plays a haunting clean tremolo. Staring at the Sun has the same crunchy bass tone as the opening track and I hope that continues. I like the melody and the dark, dreamy atmosphere. Dreams has a switching bass tone from fuzz to clean but it’s always very prominent in the mix which I like. I like the melody and atmosphere of this song, too. The instrumentation in the latter quarter-ish of the song is incredible. King Eternal bass riff holy Jesus. Love the droning, atmospheric synth. I have no clue what the lyrics are about. I like the brief drum n bass groove at the end. Not a fan of ambulance. Poppy has a great guitar riff. The riff in the middle of the song is also great. Don’t Love You has a nice groove. Bomb Yourself has good instrumentation. The lyrics are also politically conscious which is good. The latter half of the song is very experimental compared to the first half and is better in my opinion. Wear You Out has a groovy drum beat. Around 2:20 more instruments come in. It’s definitely building up to something. The lyrics end at 4:43. The instruments cut out one by one until the song ends, very unconventional but I like it.

Incredible album! I really need to listen to more of their music!

This album doesn’t really have much of an impact on me, but I feel like it might grow on me in the future. For now I’ll give it three stars.

I wish I couldn’t relate to this but I do.
