1001 Albums Summary

I'm not very good at reviewing music but something about the strange rhythms and synth/electronic sounds I find are really enjoyable to listen to, and each song was equally emotionally powerful regardless of if its lyrics or lack thereof. The album was both calming and somewhat ominous, but nonetheless entertaining and intriguing to listen to. I found this album encapsulated a lot of emotions and was overall very enjoyable (Money and Time have both been stuck in my head for an unbelievably long period now). This album felt very significant to me in a way I don't know how to properly articulate, but the best I can do is say I felt it in my soul (Brain damage and Any Colour You Like were particularly moving, and Eclipse was a brilliant song to end the album on, very beautiful.)

I'm obsessed with Patti Smith's voice and more surprised I'd never heard of her before (I'm rather uncultured) but wow! A catchy song to open an album with but for some songs I found them unnecessarily long and repetitive, making them somewhat boring to listen to (but I enjoyed birdland! a bit bizarre to me but nonetheless entertaining) Favourite song on this album is probably free money for the catchy instrumental and I quite liked the vocals, but Horses was a very good listen) Overall, some songs were a bit long and boring and the stories told by her lyrics were intriguing and bizarre, but i was fun and the instrumentals were very enjoyable as well as the controlled and gradual start to each song and later the explosive and chaotic ending.
