1001 Albums Summary

I liked this! I’m not well versed in the punk genre by any means, but I enjoyed playing it while I cooked chicken. Favorites: She’s Like Heroin to Me, For the Love of Ivy (violent though lol)

Wasn’t a favorite of mine. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Classic. I have always been a passive fan of Arcade Fire. This album flows so well. Reminds me of high school. Old Favorites: The Suburbs Ready to Start New Favorites: Month of May (This song had me tapping my feet while I wrote emails!)

From the album artwork to the music, this album is colorful. To me it feels like a dream where you are taken to different scenarios, you don’t know what is happening. Some of it’s happy, some sad, some just plain weird, but it’s a fun trip to go on and as everyone says about this album, the Beatles were definitely on some kind of trip while writing most of it, but I love it. One of my favorite songs of all time is “With A Little Help From My Friends.” Other favorites: Lucy in the Sky Getting Better When I’m Sixty Four After doing some after listening research, I am just figuring out that “Strawberry Fields Forever” was meant to be a part of this album, but the studio made them release a double LP (with Penny Lane) first and the two singles were never added. (I guess the modern day version of that is selling singles online. Makes it complicated releasing an intro single and making money with only physical records.) But, the whole album sounds better when you listen to the LP along with it!

It’s jazzy and chill music. Songs all kind of song the same though. I’ve actually heard some of it on WXPN very recently. I’m always like oh I’ll keep it on, but not my favorite thing.

Love this album. It feels very personal and vulnerable. It was ahead of its time.

Not really my thing, but “Its the End Of the World As We Know It” is a classic and my favorite. We listened driving on the turnpike and maybe it wasn't the right setting for it. I was sleepy.
