1001 Albums Summary

3.5 stars

very strange opening track for an album full of ABBA classics but this was still very enjoyable, also never knew that ABBA stood for Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, and Anni-frid, the more you know I suppose

I was going to write a real review but someone said "A passable album does not a cunt redeem." and I think that's much funnier than anything I could say

i was bored by this unfortunately

I don't think I enjoyed this as much as I should have. Maybe I'll give it a re-listen later.

top 5:: the way you make me feel, dirty diana, leave me alone, another part of me, man in the mirror hm to liberian girl because I always forget about it skips?:: never I was going to wait till I got home so I could listen to this on my record player instead of the Spotify remastered version but I don't even actually need to listen to it to form an opinion ! this is really where I feel MJ started to branch off more creatively even though he was plenty creative for his first 2 albums :p this is where we got his first TOUR tour and first real era with press tours and more public appearances. I love Bad so much, another one of the greatest albums of all time, another clear indication of how spectacular of a music artist Michael was. i don't have particular opinions or things to say unfortunately but I really do love all of the MVs from this era they're my favs! you guys talk about how certain artists yearn but I fear you haven't listened to enough MJ... The people putting 1s are just in denial this is one of the best albums of all time and I can say that 100% without bias. You can believe what you want but you can not deny the pure talent both throughout this album and through Jackson's entire discography. this is my 3rd fav of his personally and his 2nd best overall.

The boiled, unseasoned chicken of the music industry

Not my favorite Elliott Smith album—that title belongs to XO—but an extremely close second. Listening to this album is what made me fall in love with his music in the first place. Miss you Elliott <3
