1001 Albums Summary

I didn't care much for the vocals and think they did not interact well with the music. I really like the guitar riffs, especially in "Marquee Moon". I really like how warm and bright it sounds. It does remind me a little bit of some prog-rocky things such as some of Mike Oldfield's stuff.

I thought about giving it only 4 bc it is personally a bit slower than what I would usually listen to but honestly even if it is not youe cup of tea you can hear that this is art. The guitars? The synth? Juicy is what it is. I knew half of the songs anyway but never knew they where all by the Straits let alone all on the same album that's nuts to me. Such a chill album sounds like a dream ngl I will definitely listen to it again as a whole thing in the future.

Musically this is nice but there's just an air about this that makes me feel lile I'm being condescended to which makes me so irrationally irritated that I can't say I processed any of the lyrics. This album is like those awful little cat figurines with fluffy fur at old ladies' houses where rationally you know this is well liked by many but it is so kitchy your instinct is to recoil physically. There's parts that I can dig but then it teeters back to sickly sweet every time and ruins it.

There is such a thing as too much harmonica

First song was 5 stars the rest really nice for what it is, a bit slow for me
