1001 Albums Summary

Incredible album, the weakest point being (imo) in Tears. Still, Bangkok was the first Rush track I ever heard, so it will have a special place in my heart

Loved this more than I was expecting. Doesn't seem at all pretentious or too self-indulgent like some reviewers said. Favorites are "Working Class Hero" and "Isolation", both amazing songs. I know Lennon was an asshole, especially to his first wife and son, but this album makes you feel like he was really a broken man trying to get better, and, while it doesn't excuse his actions at all, it makes you understand his point of view a little bit.
