1001 Albums Summary

Not great, not terrible. 4 stars because it reminds me of my uncle's CD collection displayed on a CD stand in his living room. I can't prove it, but I'm almost sure this album used to be there.

It was alright. I think it's just not my preferred genre of music. All the time while listening to all of the tracks I kept thinking they'd fit in the ending of a rags to riches kind of movie, where the protagonist drives in the streets of the city he used to live in once, recalling and remembering himself. Cheesy. The second to last song at times reminded me of the Baba O'Riley melody which came out 3-4 years prior. The last track is also kind of gearing in that direction of dramatic keyboards, long melodies and well... I thought I was just about done and then the last track is almost 10 minutes. I wanted to be more receptive to this album than I was. Perhaps I'll come back to it another time.

I was 15 when I last heard this album and my teenage brain was blown. I am 31 now and I understand it much better. A production masterpiece, the first track remains my favourite. It is just as captivating now as it was back then. Nostalgic.

5/5 always.
