1001 Albums Summary

1) Don't go near the water: Fun, catchy, and vaguely psychedelic. Great instrumental, odd lyrics, somewhat repetitive melody. 3.5/5. 2) Long promised road: Cool loud/soft pattern, nice vocal performance, neat synth (guitar?) solo. Cliche lyrics and chorus melody. 3/5. 3) Take a load off your feet: Novelty-esque song. Odd and catchy. Great lyrics and colorful production. 4/5. 4) Disney girls: Nostalgic ballad. Beautiful, evocative lyrics. Gorgeous vocals. 5/5. 5) Student demonstration time: Awkward social commentary, awful lyrics. "Bachelor of bullets" is simultaneously inane and genius. Nondescript blues backing. 1.5/5. 6) Feel flows: Bland psychedelia, meaningless lyrics. Salvaged by fascinating instrumental section near the end. 3/5. 7) Lookin' at tomorrow: Brief song about being destitute. Interesting. 2.5/5. 8) A day in the life of a tree: Strange, beautiful, and disquieting. Evocative and imperfect vocal performance. 4.5/5. 9) Til I die: Haunting lyrics, dull instrumental backing. 3.75/5. 10) Surfs up: Beyond words, perfect in every aspect. 5/5 Overall: A varied and quirky set of songs. Atmosphere is slow and contemplative. Incredibly high highs mixed with low lows. Disney girls, a day in the life of a tree, and surfs up are standouts. 3/5.
