1001 Albums Summary

Slightly different than I was expecting, I thought it was going to be pure blues/soul jazz but it’s quite mystical, and kind of tells a story. The music may be from some film or tv program I’ve watched, I’m thinking of Louis Theroux documentary for some reason.

Very similar to Black Sabbath, but more fruity.

Lacked distinction. Some tracks like ‘You are my best friend’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody, are exceptional, but in the context of the full album, they lose their poignance. Some nice sounds throughout, however a general lack of flow. I don’t want to rate it 3 star as an objective measure because it’s far better than average music as a whole. But I will, in the context of the 1001 greatest albums. I was expecting more.

Very dark.

This album made me feel about my current episode in life. The voice of the main singer is mesmerising and the guitar soars you up to the clouds. Only negatives is that the album lacks narrative and cohesion

I like the rolling in deep song, but the rest of the album seemed like elevator music. Not Adele’s best album
