1001 Albums Summary

I wish he wasn’t an absolutely terrible person, because his lyricism is insane. I haven’t listened to a lot of Kanye outside of the occasional song or ear worm i hear on social media, so sitting to listen to this album really unfortunately opened my eyes as to why he still has so many followers despite his.. problems. His mind, at at least some point in time, was genius. The lyrics alone are crazy, but he pairs them with a sample that is pleasing to the ear, and a flow that’s great. Dare I say he was a little ahead of his time. I can see why he’s an artist that you often hear “separate art from artist”, because some of these songs are just crazy good. All that being said, it still has its issues. Some of the songs ran a little long, and I think that’s due in part to there being too many features on a song. This problem also made some of the song repetitive. All together it’s a pretty good album, but I don’t think i’d actually listen to any of these songs individually, because again, they tend to run a little long for casual listening.

First and foremost, her voice is INCREDIBLE. like HOLY COW. Of course I like some of the more famous ones, like Hello. It’s nice to relisten to that song after so long. This album was moving. Like, I think I felt something shift inside of me. When We Were Young is INSANE (also Mattfoggy coded). Remedy is a deep cut that I was NAWT ready for (also Buddie coded). I think there is something that’s almost soul bearing when you make an album and call it your age that you are when you make it. Idc how popular she is, i’m still going to call her underrated, because why have i never heard of some of these bomb ass songs?? Million Years Ago sounds like something you’d hear at a jazz club while grabbing a quick drink. Her voice is amazing, and while she may not have complex lyrics, they are still pretty great. Vocals were BROUGHT to All I Ask. The shift and key change was downright spiritual. I think my favorite was probably Sweetest Devotion or Remedy or Send My Love. This album was great, and I would definately listen to some of these songs individually!! This album opened my eyes to how talented Adele is (and how much I like her music)
