1001 Albums Summary

Sledgehammer, very 80s techno, magical tone piano, powerful dry vocals. So far my favorite song. His voice is very strong yet it’s almost dry, kind of addicting. Beautiful, deep lyrics and there’s a lot of passion in his voice while he delivers them. That voice again has a great and musical background and there’s lyrics are sweet but about longing, you can feel it from it his voice too. His song intros are so soothing and build up an amazing jungle vibe, kind of reminds me of the lion king. Very nostalgic.

Came out 1966, and you can tell. Very chill, beach almost simple musical background. Focuses on harmonizing vocals.

Had no idea what to expect with this album. So far it’s jazzy, blues, very soulful piano riffs. Saxophone is also very lively, it gives it a very playful vibe. It’s actually really fun to listen to. I love jazz. This jazz makes me want to dance and spin around. Jimmy plays the organ so passionately, you can tell he just goes with his heart and has fun with it

Traditional jazz vibes, funky, and lively vocals. Not my style but very fun.

Pretty good pop, soft rock band. Very signature style that they’re known for with the ethereal sounds in the background and poetic lyrics

Kind of underwhelming. Not my style. I liked some of the flow but it just sounded like church rock to me. The lyrics were nice but the delivery isn’t my taste.

It’s a classic album for a reason. He started a lot of trends, people have sampled these beats and he’s just an icon in the hip hop industry. The sex scenes in this were really weird, but I know it’s the point.

To me it sounded like more vocally talented version of Elivis and that classic 80s rock combined. Not bad. I don’t like that the album is only available in live.
