1001 Albums Summary

Overall rating: 7.3/10 (3.65/5 stars) Favorite song: "I Love Your Lovin' Ways" Least favorite song: "Either Way I Lose" a. I Love Your Lovin' Ways - 9.5/10; I like the beginning a lot. I like how different it is from the rest of the album. It has a very different feel to it, and I love that. I think this is a very good first track for an album like this. b. Four Women - 6/10; I like the flute parts but I thought the ending was alright. c. What More Can I Say? - 9/10; I love the variety of instruments in this song and all of the harmonies. The vocals are amazing in this song and I did really like the crescendos. d. Lilac Wine - 5.8/10; I thought it had the same kind of vibe as "Four Women." It was alright overall with no very major standouts in this song. e. That's All I Ask - 7.6/10; I liked the vibe of this song mostly. I liked how the instruments sounded as well. f. Break Down And Let It All Out - 7/10; I loved the saxophone!!! I didn't really like how much the song title was repeated. I don't typically like repetition like that. g. Why Keep On Breaking My Heart? - 8/10; Really the same comments as "Lilac Wine." I liked the vibe and there wasn't many major standouts, but still a good song. h. Wild Is The Wind - 9/10; I love the piano in this song the most. I also love how the vocals match the piano perfectly. I wasn't a huge fan of the riff a little after the middle of the song, but it did match the song. I think the vocals are very pretty in this song regardless. i. Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair - 7.8/10; At this point in the album, I feel like most of the songs are having the same sound to it. Which is expected, it being that they're all in the same album. And it's a good sound. But I don't like repetition, and I think I was getting bored. There's not many major standouts in this song, but the song sounded pretty. j. If I Should Lose You - 8.8/10; I like the piano at the start. I also like the vocals a lot. I mostly like when the vocals get lower a little in this song. I like the piano a lot later in the song as well. Nothing I really hated in this song. k. Either Way I Lose - 4.5/10; The vocals in the back get very distracting, especially since they carry throughout the whole song. I do like the instruments in this song too. When the vocals in the back fade out a little at the end, the song gets very enjoyable because all the instruments are playing together and I think it sounds very beautiful.

Overall rating: 7/10 (3.5/5 stars) Favorite song: "These Walls" Least favorite song: "For Free? (Interlude)" a. Wesley's Theory - 7.8/10; I like the music in the very beginning. I like how he sings the song and the supporting vocals. b. For Free? (Interlude) - 3.2/10; SAXOPHONE!! I don't really think the lyrics match the music going on in the back. He also keeps repeating the same phrase. The lyrics sound really cocky also. I don't really like this song. c. King Kunta - 8.6/10; I like this song. I like the instrumental and it's very catchy. I quite like the whole last bit. d. Institutionalized - 6.5/10; I don't really like how the vocals sound in the beginning. I do like the instruments at some points. e. These Walls - 9.5/10; I love how it sounds throughout the whole song. It's very catchy and the vocals are very good in this song. I like the chorus the most. f. u - 9/10; I do really like the instrumental. I loved the part when the music goes through one speaker and then goes through the other. I don't really like how this song is sung though. g. Alright - 6.4/10; I like how the vocals match the music. There wasn't very many major standouts in this song, but it was a good song. h. For Sale? (Interlude) - 6/10; I really like the music in the background as well, like the other songs. Again, no major standouts. Good song. i. Momma - 5.5/10; I like the supporting vocals a lot. Very catchy. Good song. j. Hood Politics - 5/10; I don't really like the vocals. I just don't really like how they sound. I don't really like the vibe either. I like the instrumental. k. How Much A Dollar Cost - 7/10; I really like the harmonies in this song. l. Complexion (A Zulu Love) - 7/10; Mostly I like the vocals. Towards the middle/end, I didn't really like the vocals.
