1001 Albums Summary

Wow. I can't believe with how obsessed I've been w greta van fleet I didn't look closer into their predecessors. This album was amazing beginning to end. I just earlier today watched a video about the movie Sinners and I couldn't help but be reminded of the music in that movie during my listen through. Especially the song Mississippi Kid. It really puts into perspective where we get the roots from a lot of our modern music, and how few of their descendants are at the forefront of the popularity of the genre. I'm trying too hard to say it in poetic ways, but what I'm trying to say is that lynyrd skynyrd's sound, at least on this album, is very much borrowed from black people. And I can't help but notice everyone in the band is white. It makes my feelings while listening a little complicated. But this album was definitely a good experience, and I will be adding some songs to my playlist for sure. After more listens, I can confidently say I am a fan of this album.

This is bringing back memories from when I was in my school's jazz band one year. I'm obsessed w the way each instrument is used. It's just so classic jazz. I love it sm. My favorite part of the album was definitely the instrumentation - the horns, the bass guitar, and how they're all used. I very much enjoyed this album.

Ofc I'd heard all the iconic songs on this album before, but I really loved the other songs I'd never heard before. The opening song was especially cool. This was a very good listening experience.

This was hard for me to get through. I just really did not like his voice and singing style. I like the vibes of the music though. And the harmonica was fun.

I absolutely loved this album. The vibes were so good, and I actually feel like I heard the message he was portraying in the album.

Enjoyable listen

Fun classic christmas

I first tried to listen to this album a few years ago bc I youtuber I liked said it was one of their all time favorite albums. And I just really didn't get it. Idk what it was that changed since then, but I absolutely loved every second of this album as I listened to it today. I can see this becoming an album I listen to on the regular.

I have mixed feelings about this album. I really like the instrumentation, like the drums, guitar, and bass. But I couldn't decide how I felt about the singing. It kind of reminded me of Scott Pilgrim vs the World.

Very clearly greta van fleet's predecessors. Genre defining. But also it somehow feels more experimental the greta van fleet's stuff? Very interesting. Overall pretty good.

This was incredibly boring for me. Maybe it was just my headspace when listening, but I really was not enjoying this much at all. It felt like a chore to get through. There were a couple tracks I did enjoy a bit.

This was an amazing album. I enjoyed every moment.

Pretty good! I enjoyed it

I actually liked this album more than the first one. I don't know what was different, maybe I was just more into the vibe this time? In the right headspace? Also, I think I'm gonna still rate this 3 stars, but I wish I could do half stars, bc I'd actually give it a 3.5 if I could.

Really not my favorite. I'd start kinda liking a track and then it'd just keep repeating the same strain and I'd get annoyed with it again.

I really like how they use different time signatures than is normal to use in your basic popular music. The 5/8 was really fun in get to you and tribal gathering. I should listen to the album again to try to find other times they use funky time signatures.

Such a banger of an albummmm. I absolutely loved it, and not just because I had a Stevie Wonder obsession as a kid. Every track is just perfection. Love love love.

Not a fan of the talk singing, unfortunately. The music was fine, good even. Sometimes the way he was singing reminded me of over the garden wall, which was nice.

Not a fan. The instrumentation was fine. But the singing was just so so bad, especially when they decide to sing falsetto. Terrible listening experience.

I really really liked the back half of this album. It was so much fun. I think just not much of a fan of slower songs in general, so the more upbeat songs were definitely my favorite, especially tall in the saddle and people.

Very fun listen. Gotta love David Bowie

This was a very enjoyable listen. I can see myself listening to it more especially when I want to be more zen for a bit.

It took me and second to get it, but once I got it, I GOT it. I'm normally not the biggest fan of her style of singing, but I really enjoyed listening to this album. It was so so good.

This was such a fun listen. I've never been one to think I'd like Johnny Cash, but every track was so enjoyable. It definitely helped that it felt like I was at a concert. It was fun to hear him talking to the crowd and them responding. This album was amazing.

This album was so fun! I wish it was all on Spotify so I could add more songs to my playlists. The vibes are super fun and the instrumentation is really captivating.

Meh

The guitar was very cool. This was an enjoyable listen for sure.

The music was extremely enjoyable in this album. Unlike the san quentin johnny cash album, the live aspect actually was a drawback for me with this album. There was a little bit too much screaming from the crowd at times for me. But other than that, I really liked this album. James Brown is an amazing talent.

This album was fine. It didn't really grab me much. But it was a good enough listening experience.

The overall vibes of this album were fine. But wow, his voice is so bad. I am really not a fan of how often it felt like he was struggling to reach or hold a note. That was not a very fun listening experience.

I was so incredibly bored by this album. It took me multiple days to finally finish it bc I just could not bring myself to put it back on. The overall vibes for okay ig, just so boring.

This was such an enjoyable listen, especially after getting a few lackluster albums in a row, this was a welcome change of pace. I think I just really like higher energy, higher paced songs that involve a lot of layered instruments. Especially if they evoke an emotion in me. And this album definitely did that for me.

This album was really fun! It reminded me of turnover, which has a vibe I really enjoy. A great listening experience.

Not too bad. Some songs I really enjoyed, while others not as much. Some songs were not my cup of tea, but I could still find them interesting.
