1001 Albums Summary

1. He was definitely under the influence when making this track. Good smooth soul. 2. Lyrically a story of falling in and out of love and missing someone, liked the key changes in the middle. 3. Zooming in on the worst parts of the relationship - funkier, and groovier vibe. Like the saxophone, does a few different things with his vocal compared to the first two. Like the melody for this one. Shows a lot more passion and emotion on this track, you can feel he's missing the person. 4. Like the message - the aftermath of anger makes it not worth it. Funky, liked the first half the most. The beat and the guitar riff are the best part of the song. 5. This was kinda funny, basically talking about how he wasn't the confident self-assured man he made himself out to be. Couldn't seem to handle the relationship or his partner? This is more laid back, late night, groove. Could see this being played whilst driving at night. Sax solo is 👌🏽. 6. Starting the song - this type of soul is not my preference, I find it quite boring and dull. Appreciate the lyrics. Vocals are great. 7. This is better than the last track. Lyrics??? Definitely understand the title. The rest of the album from here was not very impressive, I found it all blended into one and I was not enjoying it. Track 11 - I wanted to like, but it was actually quite dull and forgetful. He is very much a legend, but this album is not for me. Top songs: Anger Is that enough When did you stop loving me... rating - 1/5

1. Definitely an introduction. Guitar is so good. Love intros like this, that set up a concept. Definitely kept your attention for 10mins. 2. Good song, not as interesting. 3. Good beat, and guitar riffs are nice. 4. Liked the instrumental, very funky. Definitely better than the other two albums I have listened to. I appreciate the concept and the guitar solos are amazing. The first track is definitely the best. Last track has another great guitar solo. Top song: Maggot Brain.

My second time listening to this album, as a whole it's better than Thriller. However, I prefer the songs on Thriller, individually. However, my second time listening to this album made me enjoy it more. Song rank from fav to least fav: 1. Liberian girl 2. The way you make me feel 3. Dirty Diana 4. Just good friends 5. Man in the mirror 6. Another part of me - the bridge pushed it up the ranking 7. Just can't stop loving you 8. Bad 9. Leave me alone 10. Smooth criminal - the music video makes it better

Second time listening to this album, still has hits. Definitely appreciated it more, than I did when I listened to it. She needs to come back with another album. Top songs: Lost one Pick up your feelings The Other side On it Girl like me Put it down

Second time listening to it, i think it will take a few listens to truly understand, but enjoyed the instrumentals - the jazz funk influences.
