1001 Albums Summary

I am not a music critic by any means, but I believe this album is effective in its goal. It is very "in-your-face" with its experimentalism and raw technical skill from notable artists of the 70s. I found parts of this album to be harsh to listen to. This is thought-provoking due to the name of the album being "Pictures At An Exhibition." The album evokes the same feeling as being in an art exhibition, where, despite your desire to enter and see the art, your feelings are not accounted for, your previous expectations are not on the mind of the artist, and are effectively moot. I don't know if I will ever listen to this album again, but it did give me some things to think about in a way that no pop culture album ever has. My feelings may not correlate with the original goal of the album, but in a very "death of the author" way, I appreciate this album for being unique and thought-provoking on what art, raw skill, and broad appeal actually mean to the artist and the consumer.

Amazing Feminist Album that clearly inspired a lot of modern music. It feels like each song is a direct inspiration for a lot of female pop songs I hear today.

I understand that this album was a lilypad for some great music to top the European charts. It felt a little boring to me. Kind of like listening to B.O.B. from 2015 - this album was just 80s music.

Sadly I am drunk Apparently a lot of these songs were put in movies because of the influence it had GREAT album for the background of a MTG Commander night 🙂‍↕️🥳🥳
