1001 Albums Summary

Jazz! Fun, relaxing, sometimes a little bit dragging. Gives me chill dinner vibes. I’ve heard The Girl From Ipanema before but didn’t know where it came from. I liked it.

This album has Dancing Queen! I know that song. I like Knowing Me, Knowing You. My Love, My Life is pretty but a little slow for my taste. Money, Money, Money is good too, I like it. My least favorite song is Why Did It Have To Be Me? Tiger is fun. This album grows on me.

Feels both very funky, jazzy, and avant garde... there were moments in songs that I really enjoyed (parts of Peaches en Regalia beginning & motif, Willie the Pimp riff & guitar solo towards the end, Little Umbrellas) and there were other parts that I really didn't enjoy (most of the chaos in Gumbo Variations) listening to. Not knowing the history of this album, I could see how this album influences other artists and music. It does feel very defining.

Not really my jam, but interesting. Generally good vibes, but a little too avant garde for me

Entire album wasn't my jam, but overall a nice listen. Classic Queen sounding album, and Killer Queen was great to listen through. Not my favorite Queen song, nor favorite album. Upon some basic searching, Sheer Heart Attack was the first album with a "hard rock" and "glam rock" edge, and away from prior "prog rock" sounds. If this album is where that classic Queen sound begins, then it makes a lot more sense why the album is a must listen.
