1001 Albums Summary

Lovely harmonies The sparseness in instruments can make each one stand out at once, the bass is very standout Second song is so cheery and possibly slightly Beatles esque, catchy and joyful Guinnevere has a beautiful guitar that has aged so well, almost more modern than it should be. The folk harmony focused vocals are like if Simon and Garfunkel loved their guitar a lil more Fourth song is a lovely wee folk tune and very lovey dovey, lil bitesize of comfy folk, the harmonics give it a nice cute vibe UNEXPECTED trippy guitar almost sounds reversed at the start of the fifth song, vocals are very chanty and singalong but reserved enough to not be pandering, really like the lil mini solo with the guitar, do think vocals are a bit simple tho Wooden ships is SMOOTH, almost soulful, whoever the vocalist is on this one is my favourite, “say can I have some of your purple berries” hahahaha goofy but the panning conversation is a cool idea, no idea what the concept is of this song though. Solo with the building hits in the background is pretty, cathartic when the vocals come back in and the “ahs” hit just right. Lady of the island is simple but so fucking BEAUTIFUL, the “dums” layered at the end is so nice and the melody is mesmerising while also catchy and easy to digest, lovesick song that makes you feel so relaxed and warm inside Not much to say that I haven’t said about other songs, helplessly hoping continues the trend of beautiful Melodies with nice harmonies, another uncomplicated yet lovely little bit of folk Perfect follow up in the next song, immediately so full and more complicated instrumentally, feels epic and big compared to the rest of the album, singers voice is large, almost bad ass energy with that guitar effect and the bass and drums hitting a constant thump thump that opens in the chorus, loving the switches between folk and rock on this album, the oscillation is very satisfying Ends with a fun lil rock jam, nothing INSANE but a fun ending leaving a nice final taste Very fun album, not groundbreaking but immensely fun and easy to listen to, with beautiful moments sprinkled between the fun
