1001 Albums Summary

Very chill, mellow vibes. Some songs are super beautiful, others are a bit abstract. It isn’t my favorite but don’t dislike it. It’s pretty good for what it is, 3-3.5/5

Full disclosure, I knew some songs off this album before listening to it. Mainly, America and Mrs. Robinson. I’ve gained a new appreciation the album and for Simon & Garfunkel. I’ve always liked their music and folk as a genre but this album is joyful & beautiful. It was amazing albeit short. 5/5 for me.

Really good album! Heavy than expected to be honest. Had elements that felt very punk rock, White Blood Cells felt very raw and in your face. I knew the popular/mainstream songs off this album but I genuinely enjoyed every track. 5/5 stars!

Full disclosure I had listened to this full album before many times when I was younger. I was a huge Lennon fan and after listening to it again the album holds up to what I remember. It starts off amazing with Imagine and bought me back with amazing tracks like How Do You Sleep, How?, Jealous Guy…etc. It’s Lennon’s most well known album for a reason. A beautiful album, although I would say it needs another remaster soon. The vocals on some tracks are fainter than the instruments. Overall a wonderful album, 5/5!

I’m all for free form music and hearing the musicians feel it out while playing. Jamming essentially but this album was really hard for me to get into to. I’m all for jamming but lack of words, song length and not being the biggest jazz fan felt like it contributed to my rating/lack of interest. I listened to the entire album and my conclusion is that, this album is meant for massive jazz fans, it didn’t feel like a casual listen. Musically the album isn’t bad at all, just not my thing.
