1001 Albums Summary

What an absolutely beautiful album. It blends in meaningful and poetic lyrics with melancholy tunes in a seamless and artistic way. It definitely requires a certain introspective mood to listen to, and is best listened to alone (even better if surrounded by nature, maybe on a park bench or under a beautiful tree?). My own exposure with this album may have me biased though as it was not a first listen…. The lyrics to the song “the dangling conversation” in particular was on the cork board in my room in uni and listening to it brought back some good memories. All in all, listening to this album feels like submersing into yourself and having a good look around and appreciating the melancholy as well as the silver linings. Will listen again.

The song “where is my mind?” Is a pure masterpiece and saves this album for me. The rest was… a difficult listen as punk rock unfortunately does not appeal to me. I can appreciate that this is good music, just not for me.
