1001 Albums Summary

I enjoyed listening to this album. Felt like it had a nice flow from beginning to end. I recognized Everything In Its Right Place and like that one. Other stand outs for me were How To Disappear Completely and Optimistic Morning Bell I had never heard before and it took me by surprise! I liked it maybe the best. Think it has pretty lines weaving in and out between the guitar and vocals. On a subsequent listen In Limbo grabbed my ear...super creepy at the end

This album hit a little differently this listen. I think the album gets better the farther you go down the song list. Still my favorites: Dumb Milk It Pennyroyal Tea Always a classic: All Apologies Don’t really like anymore (but I have a story about it if anyone ever wants to know): Rape Me Honorable mention: Heart-Shaped Box & the end of Scentless Apprentice. I might just start screaming “go away”…

This album was almost entirely new for me. At first, I didn't think I was going to like it, but the longer I listened, the more I started to vibe. Loved Turtle Blues and liked Catch Me Daddy. Really glad this album came up because it led me to another Janis Joplin song that was so heartbreakingly gorgeous. Also liked the rhythm/emphasis of "Come back and believe my love" from Magic of Love.

Simple Man...

Maybe not being fair with this rating because I didn’t make it all the way through. I was tired and it did help me fall asleep. 💤

Love the funky bass line on Every Ghetto, Every City. Man. Should've listened to the full album years ago. Already has some of my favorite songs. Super pretty beginning to Nothing Even Matters. Lauryn over here trying to make me cry...The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. So soulful. Classics for me: Can't Take My Eyes Off of You & Doo Wop (That Thing). Those two have gotten me through many miles on the road. ;) Think the melodic ostinato in the guitar for Tell Him is also very pretty. I also just really like her lyrics. "Let me be patient, let me be kind. Let me be unselfish without being blind." I want that too. :)

Wish we could give half stars. Prob a 2.5.
