1001 Albums Summary

Have heard this album before, good ambient music for being on an airplane and reading, but it also is a bit repetitive at times and kinda can drive me crazy, but it is overall calming and meditative. Pretty funny that this is the first album chosen due to it being extremely ambient, or after reading reviews, a pioneer in ambient music. It pushes the boundaries of what conventionally would be considered music. I think if someone asked you vaguely to "put on some music" and you put this on, it would be provoking an argument almost immediately. I think I was first introduced to Brian Eno through MGMT in their album Congratulations. He has a lot of influence on one of my favorite artists, Fred Again.. and he has an amazing body of work as an original artist, producer, and collaborator. I don't know how in-line this album is with his other music, as he's spanned a number of genres, but the case could be made that this album is punk as hell. Having listened to it through, the tones and the sounds selected are introspective, calming, and make for nice background music. Shoutouts Brian Eno.

Yeah pretty good stuff. I liked Water No Make Enemy and now learning about the reason he made this album is pretty cool and adds some context. Afrobeat is cool.

momcore. Not totally impressed with it.

Had me whistling and thinking

Objectively not their best album, but sure, Talking Heads rule anyway. No standouts besides Take Me to the River. I like The Good Thing too.

Yeah pretty much too sad for me to listen to all the way through, really bummed me out and was not the vibe I needed.

Nice

This rocks hard, Led Zeppelin rocks. Pretty iconic. Maybe wasn't in the best headspace for it, but yeah it rocks.

Not their best album, idk why this one was picked, but it was nostalgic of middle school and it's good metal.
