1001 Albums Summary

I am not really into 60s, 70s or 80s music. I often associate music from this time as simply boring. 1. Ballad, intro, choir kinda addition - big plus, I guess 60s were heavy on acoustic guitar, folklore chants? 2.Calming violin vibe, rural, those movies set in small knit communities 3.Love the vocals 4.Heavy on the bass, chill, guitar solo 5.begins like a modern heavy banger that's gonna punch you in the gut, today's single material 6.slow paced, pitty, possibly sexist, the xylophone form Christmas music 7.Drums and aggressive guitar strumming, bad boy vibes, "How can you tell you like what you feel?", piano doing the western movie thingy, dumb 8.Old movies intro, then it suddenly changes into something else??? Fast paced then slow paced with a nice instrumental, contradicts the title, vocals borderline feeling like those from hard rock (linking park), lot's of melodie changes 9.Strong piano, church choir again, French lyrics in the intro, once again calming 10.Modern sounding, great piano, cymbals, and bass, the culminating ending is missing, Elton John, chorus vocals are heavenly - they hit just right, "Everybody needs the sound of love" 11.ew country - the stereotypical kind 12.literary jus instrumentals just like in chromatic, thumbs up, hypnotizing 13.Slightly worse continuation of the instrumental 14.good kick drum, melancholic in the verse, outright savage in the chorus 15.Humorous piece, vocals kinda don't fit to the music, mediocre/skippable 16.Nostalgic, emotional (good for crying to) 17.The closing statement Themes of love, adventure, and foolishness of youth Fairly simple lyrics, complex in terms of sound, very playful in terms of texture and composition Pleasant non-overwhelming melodies Songs feel like lullabies, I could fall asleep to this album Under stimulating pop I grew to love instrumentals included in albums I was expecting something else, but this album has positively surprised me Favorites: Black Diamond Edison Suddenly Sound Of Love Seven Seas Symphony I Laugh In Your Face First Of May The British Opera

Speakerboxxx - funky, having fun, fairly simplistic dumbed down lyrics with some clever alliterations or word plays, nothing special. The Love Below - jazz like jazz jazz, 30s vocals, soul, feelings on the platter, dumb lyrics. I guess the novelty of this album is it simply being a double album of seeming opposites.

Tracks read almost as lullabies, a mix of comforting instruments and soft synthesizers, with light vocals putting you to sleep. Disco, groovy bone rattling base, with an acceptable amount of head bobbing. Breathy vocals feeling almost like ethereal beings whispering right into your ear. Saxophone is a dominant instrument as it appears in the majority of tracks. Very unsuccessful transition between track 1 and track 2. Lo-fi. Would make a good background music for working or relaxing, of course in a very good sense. Unpleasant sound present in track 5 which sounds like a stone falling down and bouncing inside the metal cylinder. 90s synthesizer translating into 21st century music. The ongoing technological advancement pushing artists to experiment more with the broader range of tools or perhaps going back to the roots themselves. For some reason it induced in me a nostalgic feeling of the 80s and 90s personal computer boom and their 8-bit bleeps and bops and the iconic startup sounds. Everything so hands on, physical in form and shape. The cover brilliantly depicts that almost the dawn time when you are neither asleep nor fully conscious. A true state of in between. This album is hard to rate, some tracks feel overly long and repetitive in it's nature (like Röyksopp Night Out), but some fit just like a glove and are very pleasant to listen to (like Remind Me).

Excellent storytelling on the rappers part. Great collaborations and voices. Revenge and bitterness are bleeding through the lyrics. The album excels at asserting the dominance of the new found freedom of Dr.Dre as somebody not to be messed with as he's treading through the new territory and establishing a name for himself in his solo carrier. Definitely a very violent album, which helps with the political messages to come across more serious as it highlights the violent nature of the situations, fight violence with violence I guess. Background vocals used across the tracks are chef's kiss. The album is culturally significant and a staple of the 90s hip-hop helping to launch a very successful label and carriers. At the same time, personally, the amount of profanity, which appears to be 3 words per sentence and sexualization of pretty much everything, which I realize might be an artistic choice, is off putting to me. Nevertheless it is a well made album worth your listening time.

The rapper is taking us through the life of an anonymous person. The actual story telling might be starting with the release of the protagonist from prison, where he reflects on his life. Starting with his childhood "back in the day". He doesn't recognize his own neighborhood as people lived their lives and grew up. This confusion and anger for this particular passing of time is very common for incarcerated individuals. He has to reintroduced to the society and to the streets where he makes the exact same mistakes that got him sentenced in the first placed. Hard beats, pleasant to listen to, consistent rhythm, a fair bit of screaming from the rapper. Perhaps a bit repetitive, the tracks melt into each other. There is nothing eccentric or special about any of them. No experimentation, which is a welcome feature but not necessary. Pleasant listening experience, but not anything really worth your listening time, but I do like the concept behind the album as successful writing is part of the success but without good tracks it is not enough.

Folk, well, boring. Too slow for my brain. I guess this is supposed to be a break up album. I guess his relationship was that uneventful. Sorry bro, not good.

Started out good, first two songs at least. I find britpop quiet pleasant. But this one unfortunately was quiet boring, without any variety between songs. They honestly sounded like quiet a mush of sounds, almost too similar to differentiate. I gave this album a couple of chances cause I wasn't able to focus on the whole album for its entirety, but I guess that shows what type of albums it is.

The best selling album of 2010s with 3 amazing singles. The whole album just feels nostalgic, to the nth core. Weirdly enough, I have never fully listened to the album even though I own it on CD. The vocal performance, coming from Adele is of course brilliant, in the way that you just want to listen to it for hours at a time. Voice and lyrics sipping with emotion. Actual pop music with raw feeling. Overall a fun record to listen to, especially in terms of music, and an excellent record to cry to (Someone like you hits different after a break up).

It feels like I am in a fucking circus. I don't wanna be in a circus. I don't want a creepy clown staring me down and shout at me. Like what you like but, it ain't for me. I wanna forget what I have just listened.

Low key racist and sexist. Tracks are sometimes boppy sometimes hold up what the fuck is that? And yeah I do agree that music sounds kinda 90s and 80s mainstream pop or whatever, but like the lyrics, singing and rapping, eh not really. Listenable though, so not a bad hour of my life.
