Coat Of Many Colors
Dolly Parton
COAT OF MANY COLORS by Dolly Parton
First album I listened from this list, and it's the first country album I listened fully! In just 27 minutes with only 10 tracks, honestly it sounds pretty decent. Sure, it sounds like any other typical country album, but it's the way that Dolly does it that I can't even explain, but to say "yo, this shit ain't that bad". The lyrics there do go hard, like the second one had a CRAZY twist, and the sixth one just made me wanna cry (canon event). Will I revisit this album again? I don't know, but for this to be the first album, I'm off to a decent start, time to listen to another 999 albums left to hear!!! ._.

WOW! What an album this was! Definitely a BIG improvement from the previous album I heard (Dolly Parton). Never expected this album to go so hard, from the intro going to Father To Son, to the incredible riffs that went on songs like Some Day One Day, Ogre Battle and (the infamous) The March Of The Black Queen. Father To Son instantly became my favorite song on the album alongside The March Of The Black Queen and the last song, Seven Seas Of Rhye. Now THAT'S how you end an album that sounds as ambitious and hungry as this. This is incredible, and apparently it's not even their best album. I wonder what type of stuff they be cooking, but ngl, they DO be cookin fr ong.
1.- Procession = 7/10
2.- Father To Son = 10/10!
3.- White Queen (As It Began) = 9/10
4.- Some Day One Day = 9/10
5.- The Loser In The End = 8/10
6.- Ogre Battle = 9/10

8.- Nevermore = 7/10
9.- The March Of The Black Queen = 10/10

WOW! Somehow, coming from a very chill album, this might be my new favorite type of music, dude bossa nova goes hard af. From the iconic first track, to the other ones that sound like classics, I might actually come back and listen to this album, because it sounds different and I actually enjoyed listening to it. This is some feel good type of music, every time you feel depressed, you listen to one of these, and it instantly restores your faith in life, this is happy music, like the true definition of it. Calm and relaxed, buy joyful, colorful and full of symphonies and beautiful melodies that make my ears go numb, this is amazing.

Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis
This is a very good album that has it's themes of heartbreak and love-pursuing. Even does there's the popular song "Son of a Preacher Man" on there, there are better songs than even that one itself, specially "The Windmills of Your Mind". Almost every song here has some of the best song-writing to offer in that decade, it sounds orchestral in a way. Very organized, nice and gentle, with a punch of harmonies going on every song. You can tell this album was made with huge respect towards music.
1.- Just A Little Lovin' = 8/10
2.- So Much Love = 8/10
3.- Son of a Preacher Man = 7/10
4.- I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore = 8/10
5.- Don't Forget About Me = 7/10
6.- Breakfast in Bed = 8/10
7.- Just One Smile = 8/10
8.- The Windmills of Your Mind = 9/10
9.- In the Land of Make Believe = 7/10
10.- No Easy Way Down = 8/10
11.- I Can't Make It Alone = 8/10
FINAL SCORE = 7.8/10
