1001 Albums Summary

I would listen to 2/13 of these songs on this album. I’m not a huge fan of slow songs, or songs with so much guitar in it to the point where it becomes overwhelming. Maybe I’m not a huge fan of the blues, but I wouldn’t turn it off it if came on. It’s a bit of a shock to admit because I am a huge emo/metal/pop-punk listener, but for some reason I can’t seem to feel satisfied listening to this album. “Tuesday’s Gone” seems to be one of the only favorites from this album. I love the melancholy and soft grit in Ronnie VaZant’s voice adds so much character to the music. It makes me feel like I’m far from home and looking for new ways to find myself. It’s a beautiful song. Another song I enjoyed off this album is “Free Bird,” an easily recognizable song just from the first couple notes. I’ve only ever been properly exposed to this song through memes over the internet, but the lyricism is actually very beautiful, it makes me want to fall in love. One of the longer songs on the album, over 5 minutes long (I can’t go back and check lol.) I love the buildup but I can’t stay for the entirety of it. It starts to feel like a lot. I wish I could go more in depth on how this album made me feel as I am not a fan of country nor “Dad Rock” I find it insufferable and hard to sit through. This album is only an hour and sixteen minutes long but every song felt like an eternity. Im not sure how that’s possible. I read a bit of the description Spotify has for the artists and it’s sad to find out how early into their careers the members have passed on. I believe this album is nice, but I would not willingly turn it on.
