1001 Albums Summary

This album is what I imagine being high would be like. It is both magical and trippy at the same time. The feelings it evokes are those of eeriness, creepiness, and strangeness, but below all this there is a strong sense of melancholy, sometimes bordering rumination. It made me recollect and question all the reasons why I dislike electronic music. However, some numbers are surprisingly calming and jammy, and I would not hate to listen to them again. Though I have not seen the movie itself, this soundtrack kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, Beetlejuice, and all Tim Burton movies. Just like these, 'The Virgin Suicides' contains something deeply unsettling but beautiful. In the end, this album gives me the heebie-jeebies, and is definitely not my cup of tea, but I see why it would be somebody's favourite.
