1001 Albums Summary

Loud. Caused a short existential crisis (is this what I should be doing right now? Is this what I should be achieving?) The songs are all irrefutably on brand but not the same, I like them all. I seems like the writer was just genuinely fucked off. Perfect length. Would like to listen to again. Also I think I just failed my Genetik Exam.

I think I am not smart enough for Jazz. The first song was enjoyable, the second and third or fourth disconcerting, the songs after that I enjoyed when I imagined people in underground Bars in the 50s having fun. The last song was strikingly contemporary and very beautiful. Overall not my type but sticking around for the last song made it worthwhile. It took too much of my brainpower to listen to it, I couldn’t just vibe or abschalt. Would probably kind of slap in a live performance though. I suspect Jazz is like wine and you have to build a taste for it.

Nothing stuck in my mind after a day but I remember enjoying it enough while in the U-Bahn. It’s all very similar but comforting in a way, not everything has to be groundbreaking. That’s what this album is to me, neat and some serious vibe with some good songs, nothing groundbreaking though. Kind of background music to your life. I can see myself listening again.

Feels obligatory to give 5 stars from a cultural standpoint. I don’t know if I enjoyed it as much as 5 stars but then again I gave The Suburbs 4 stars and this feels better than that. I think I will give it 4 stars and start rating more critically overall.

Excellent. Yes. Also I did fail my Genetik exam.

Really liked it. Kind of a concept album. Some parts of some songs threw me off a bit and overall the experience varied from 3 to 5 stars, but the parts I liked I really really liked. Definitely going to listen to again, I bet this slaps in the U-Bahn. Does not however work very well in the shower, the background instrumentals are too important for the music. The voice reminds me of Tracy Chapman a bit.

Oof kinda disappointed. Knowing some of Bowies other work I was really looking forward to this but even if I ignore who the artist is I am kind of let down. The only song I kinda liked was Fame, I might listen to that again. The album however was bland and somehow weird. I think his voice and style of singing didn’t match the instrumentals at all and the background vocals were just unpleasant. The songs didn’t feel inspired by anything else but „this is how a song is made and what its supposed to sound like“. Doesn’t really feel like there was any emotion behind it but boredom and a feeling of obligation. Not listening to the album as a whole again.

Great music and I love the flute, but what the fuck were the lyrics. Didn’t listen to the entire thing

I expected to like it more than I did because I know Mrs. Robinson, but it was rather bland. I think I’ll listen to it again on a train for my final verdict, as I can imagine it would slap a bit more. I need to remember to make Kokos-Curry sauce.

Liked it a lot. Adventurous and whimsical, I liked how the songs followed themes. Really good for baking.
