1001 Albums Summary

Classic, smooth R&B. Huge hit in "Shining Star". This is not where my main musical interests lie, but the melodies are catchy and the harmonies amazing. Only downside for my taste are the somewhat random add-on endings to tracks when the main song has already ended. As I listened to this a second time, there are some filler tracks on "Side B."

Solid album. Amazing voice. The hits are undeniable, but there is also a sameness to many songs across the album that make this one tough to listen on repeat. "Send My Love" is a great track since it is a different sound from the rest of the album.

This will forever be one of those albums that critics love, and die-hard fans get; just not my style of music. And I am not hearing the guitar-god, genius label some apply.

This band will never be my cup of tea, but great to get exposed to this complete album since I only knew the hits previously.

All time favorite of mine from growing up. Will never listen to the haters, this album is catchy as hell.

Nice to get exposed to an album I did not know of. Can't believe DP was on her 8th studio album by 1971. A few nice songs, but this one is not for me.

Great album. Listened to it too often to go back to this one more than once in a while

Great beats and flow. Never listened to this one all the way through, just the "singles". Will put this into my rotation.

Like getting exposed to this bossa nova collection. Good diversion from my standard listening.
