1001 Albums Summary

- I like the bass and drum rhythms, but not the actual drums themselves, they sound too light for the type of music it’s trying to be. - Drum fills are good. - 3rd song has bass solo, that’s cool and I like - transition between 3rd song and 4th was great, really liked that - 4th song has great drum rhythm with the tons, and has a good melody, probably my favourite so far - tempo seems to change between chorus and verse - nice fade out - said this before but I really like the bass lines - 6th song is good, new favourite, good chord progression and relaxed tempo - 7th song I have heard before but didn’t realise it was on this album - it’s the new favourite and yes I have the time to listen to you whine - 8th song, I like how the electric guitar came in - what the hell was that scream - I’m finding so far that all the songs are sounding super similar, which isn’t a positive thing - 9th song, sounds like all the other songs, it’s just okay nothing special - actually I liked how the ride cymbal came in towards the end very crisply - 10th song is sounding familiar but I can’t pick why, sounds okay - one thing I’m noticing too is that I’m not picking up much on the lyrics, the voice kind of blends with the music which is another thing I don’t like - okay nice higher guitar solo, wasn’t long but it was nice to have something different - 11th song, sounded like all the others - 12th song sounds exactly like song 11 - there’s this section that’s bass toms and some guitar with no cymbals and that was cool I guess - 13th song I don’t like the fast tempo already, and I don’t like the drum rhythm - another cool section with bass, low guitar and some electric - 14th song it’s started with just light guitar and vocals, it’s a nice change - sounds super thin, I think the mixing is off and Spotifys probably screwed up the normalisation - okay everything else has come in, and it sounds good, the variation is good to have to make it interesting - most interesting song for sure - 15th song, wow okay very different sound here, great guitar, singing is shit, mixing is worse - I like the rawness here - overall I wouldn’t listen again, but good to try something new

The songs felt very long and I feel like some of them really could have been streamlined to cut sections out that were repeated. If perhaps the album was closer to 40-50 mins I might have enjoyed it more. Despite all that, I think it was decent and it sounded better than I expected, so it's a 2 favs: fell on black days, limo wreck, kickstand

As beautiful as some of these sections of these songs are, this album is a drag and goes on forever. It’s really not my style, wouldn’t listen to again but glad to give it a chance with zero skips,

Was a short listen, I think it fit a lot into it, overall it was okay. I found I didn’t have much to say on each song because they all seemed to follow the same formula. Favourite - I’ll wait Least favourite - jump
