1001 Albums Summary

For a song called vein melter it was really boring lmao I dont listen to fusion or jazz that much but it was a nice listen

WE ARE THE PREISTS OF THE TEMPLE OF SYRINX im a bit of a rush fan. 2112 is a certified self indulgent classic. so much so that you forget there are 5 other songs lol. passage to bangkok is the only one worth remembering in that bunch but yeah aside from that? love love love 2112 (the song)

I really like it! 70s synths are so fun as an instrument because it really feels like an experimentation with sounds. I thought the pop snippets were unique but catchy, and the instrumentals were super moody and atmospheric. Definitely recommend

Its okay to leave your dog in a hot car (Yeah!) I do know this album very well (ofc) but there are a lot of songs that are still fantastic. In my Life is still probably the best beatles song or at least top 3. I like how you can start to hear the songwriting and sound branch out from their previous albums some songs are duds and are pretty lame but then you got norwegian wood and nowhere man so its all ok i do like how theyre playing around with sound and instrumentation and it gives each track more of its own identity and personality still think revolver is better Idk i would really put it on when I'm bored so 3 ig

after judy blue eyes i thought this might be a half-decent listen and then lady of the island happened it really sucks because some of these songs are tight with great harmonies and hooks but there is a lot of nothing burgers im just not a fan of acoustic and folk so those songs are really boring to me but the more upbeat ones are fine

yo actually what the fuck this sounds good??? that album cover really scared me that this would be more folk but this is like,,, proto funk or smth love love the instrumentals. we need more music with orchestra in em this is emilycore man i did have a little phase in college and im pretty sure if i found this i would have played it into the ground

man what happened to the germans sorry if im a normie but this is too weird for me. some snippets of good music surrounded by dissonant noise and ear-grating sounds. i don't want to listen to it again

a little lower energy than i'd like

i was scared there would only be albums from the 70s here its a good listen. i'd listen to it again

Yeah its really good

so i do like how these songs are all uptempo and high energy. you can tap your toes to these. good hooks in some of these songs too but man. they do all kind of sound the same after a while. also the guys voice is a little annoying and im pretty sure the same little guitar riff has been reused across several songs. like, use one other instrument. write one song thats a little diferent. do a key change. like give me something please all these songs are 2 minutes why does it draggggg i was going to give this like a 3.5 and then i listened to it again and changed my mind

i really liked it! i think with the strings and orcestration it's easy to fall into a trap of feeling too overproduced but the instruments sound great. The drums bring in a ton of energy to the tracks. the rolling people is def my favorite. ive also never heard bitter sweet symphony before so im wondering how it got 1 billion streams on spotify???? its like oasis but theyre actually play instruments. I think i just like music that has more variety and production to them. also the songs change up on themselves so even when listening ambiently while working, it still catches my attention

I dont like the way she's staring at me on the cover but she's got a good voice. There's a lot of energy in the album that makes it a good listen as compared to say, that Elvis album we did where everything just started to drag. Maybe its because all the songs are covers so she can puck the best ones I think old people can in fact make decent music!

this album cover scared me ngl but it was a neat listen i can't articulate it well but a lot of the songs tickled my brain

I dont know how you can listen to this without a huge smile on your face

very interesting! the songs are all very distinct from each other and theyre very evocative of other artists

There were some neat songs on there but I wouldn't really want to listen to it again.

It's way too rough of a sound combined with very repetitive songs.

first 80s album wooo There's something really nice about just having a good old rocker. It's tight, clean, got good energy, and can really get you grooving. After a lot of more slow-paced, artsy albums, this was really what I needed. Is it the most deep, complex music? No. The song compositions are a little simpler than I'd like, but I can't deny this is very, very listenable. Can't imagine putting it on and someone having an issue with it.

oo jazz When it comes to jazz, it's easy to let it devolve a little too freeform and abstract, but this is one that is tight. The songs take you on a journey with how the melody and tempo shift, but it's never too distracting or disjointed. There are easily identifyable musical ideas that thread themselves through each song. On a second listen, they only became more clear to me. In Track B, I was quite struck by how the trumpet almost sounded like speaking with how roughly it was played; something I had never heard before. It's just really good music. No complaints at all.

you know when you get a new favorite song and listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over until it sounds like mush i have to stop myself from listening to taj mahal. what a song. what a time to be alive. In all seriousness this is a club banger. I got a new obsession so there you go.

im in touch with your world is like,,, one of the worst songs ive ever heard.

not bad. wouldnt put it on again

it sounds like open-mic night at karaoke it sounds like a middle school band warming up it sounds like rock bottom, both in title and in content you could make any number of zingers but none could capture how horrible this is im starting to think the 1001 albums guy ran out of ideas and just put this in to see who really read the book and actually listened to the albums within

I've been on tenterhooks, ending in dirty looks Listening to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that She said that's that, I don't wanna chitter-chat Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat Pump it up when you don't really need it Pump it up until you can feel it Down in the pleasure center, hell-bent or heaven sent Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Hey! She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical Though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic You wanna torture her, you wanna talk to her All the things you bought for her, could not get a temperature Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin You put your passion out under the pressure pin Fall into submission, hit-and-run transmission No use wishing now for any other sin Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Pump it up until you can feel it Pump it up when you don't really need it Don't really need it Don't really need it Don't really need it

I was going to open my review with a silly one-liner, but I don't think it would be right. This listening experience was haunting. The ambient synths and droning combined with the personal voice struck me in a way I did not expect. It's the first time where I stopped having the music play in the background and actually sat up and focused on the composition and lyrics. I can't identify very strongly with lyrics about god, but I can identify with the thought that the world is cold when it felt like it was once full of wonder. "Horses are just horses and their manes aren't full of fire" is a lyric that really stood out to me in particular. I don't know if I would put it on again casually, but I'm glad I listened to it before I died

Ok so uh I know I said I liked Ghosteen a lot but what the hell is this. What if we took all the self-reflection and replaced with a song about Orpheus's skull getting smashed? The blues and rock are too simple in composition so they're nothing worth listening to. There's some snippets of good music (adding a choir to any song will do that) but yuck. Why was this a double album? First one I actually started skipping songs on.
