1001 Albums Summary

I have to say, I'm not too keen on metal, but I can't deny that this is a bloody good album. I've heard a couple songs off this album before (as most people probably have) but I have never listened to the whole thing. War Pigs - I found this one slightly boring. I just don't think this really warranted 7 minutes of the album, I probably would have liked it more if it was 3-4 minutes. Not the best opener if I'm honest. Paranoid - A classic, not much to say really other than its obviously a great song. Planet Caravan - I like the distortion on the vocals, its a nice slow track. Honestly not at all what I was expecting, but its a great show of versatility. I'm definitely putting this one on a couple of my playlists. Ironman - Another classic. I like the riff and drums on this one much more than paranoid (though they're both great). A fun song overall. Electric Funeral - Great riff, I like the switch-up that comes halfway through. Hand of Doom - I feel like this would be a better opener than War Pigs, but maybe that's just me. Love the bass in this one. Has a nice and satisfying build up. Rat Salad - The drum solo was very fun. Its a clean instrumental. Not too much to say about it really. Fairies Wear Boots - Nice rhythm to it. As with the rest of the album, the guitar and drums are brilliant. This is my favourite track on the album. Added this one to a few playlists. Great closer to the album. Only reason its a 4 for me is because its just not really my thing, I can't say I'll really ever listen to it again as a whole. Undeniably great, though.
