1001 Albums Summary

I don’t like this. Sounds like a heavy metal musical. This is disgusting. I hate that I like the music. But the singing and the lyrics are terrible. I mean, he’s got a good voice obviously, but it’s sounds like it’s more fit for a broadway musical. Maybe that’s his secret dream. He’s pressured into this heavy demon stuff, when really all he wants is to play in hamilton. To me, it’s not very interesting. Boring in fact. There’s nothing to talk about. Just the same shite again and again. Like I get it, devils and despair and whatever. I mean, if you’re into that stuff I’m sure this album is great. But if you’re not, this album is the equivalent of listening to a really religious and christian album. But just the opposite. And the guitar is good but the singing. The lyrics. All the songs could be demos of the same song. Okay, that’s exaggerating it of course, but I’m trying to make a point here. I’m not saying I hate it. Some songs are catchy. And maybe I’m just not in the right state of mind to be listening to this. But thats the thing, I feel like such a strong and angry and aggressive album should be able to force you into the right state of mind. Anyway, it’s okay. I must say the music, despite all the songs sounding similar, is good. Those riffs do get me a little riled up. But the singing almost makes me cringe. But I can get behind what they’re about. I just think it’s silly. This last song? Hello? By far the best track on the album. Finally I received what they were trying to deliver this whole time. I don’t know what it is about this song that got me going. I feel like if I listened to this a couple more times, It’d grow on me. The thing about this album is, I don’t think it’s crap. It’s just… not my style I guess. I can’t find it in me to resonate with this album. And yeah, I thought some of the lyrics were corny, and I found myself wishing there were more parts where the singer would shut up. But honestly, I’m okay with just letting this album be. I don’t have to like or dislike it. I don’t have to get it. I’m glad I listened to it. I definitely appreciate this albums intention and impact. But since I have to rate it based on how much I enjoyed it, I’ll have to give it two stars.
