1001 Albums Summary

An all over the place album, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I really liked To Forgive. It also brought a little calm between all the other more intense songs, which was needed. I found Cupid de Locke a very pleasant song to listen to. The harp gives the song a dreamy quality. Galapagos is also a great song, and I even added the last song on the album to my own playlist. Some of the other songs were just a little too chaotic for me to fully enjoy. The album is very long, though. Twenty-eight songs that together last more than two hours is a bit excessive. I would have removed a few songs to make it a shorter album, and I can immediately point out which ones those would be. Because of its length, I won't be returning to this album anytime soon.

My comment on The Smashing Pumpkins album was that it was far too long. But Stevie Wonder's album is almost as long and I don't give a damn. I knew from song 1 that this was going to get a 5+. Also, his 18th album, um, how come you still have inspiration? Village Ghetto Land could easily be turned into a musical, and I love it! Nothing to complain about!
