1001 Albums Summary

Track a - very heavy, alto soloist awesome Track b - plunger sounds so good - like this one a lot more got a slow swing then it speeds up. I like when the saxes come in and are just so sassy The jazz is very very chaotic (don’t hate it) Charles Mingus being a bassist and making this music makes a lot of sense Spotify says he wanted this to be a ballet… not sure that would work very well Track c - I’ve heard this before! Guitar??? Track c my fav so far by a lot. Blend is so good very good supporting line Medley - also heard this before love the bass at the start. I love the guitar. Love the sections. 🪠 finally some trombone This album just got better and better as it went on storytelling so good lots of emotion Ranking: c > b = medley > a

No (first listen, made it half way through) Second listen (since *some* people were mad I didn’t like it the first time): Power of equality sounds like the boy band from lemonade mouth just a little Redeeming songs: I could have lied, under the bridge, sir psycho sexy (very funk-y and that last bit where he’s not singing is so so good) Overall still a 2 but those final minutes of sir psycho sexy almost brought it up to a 3. I do appreciate the funk of it all but I don’t think I’ll be revisiting anytime soon

Me when stevie wonder -> 😁😁😆😆😆😆😄😃😃🥳😆🎉🎉😆🙌🙌🙌🎊🎊🎊😁😁😁 My fav stevie is the album made after this one so excited to see what came before Track 1: I love him so much stevie my king Love 10 zillion and love the groove on you haven’t done nothin Refreshing after sex magik and it’s so short! I still like songs in the key of life better but this is very classic stevie and I love Favorite: you haven’t done nothin

this album contains probably my favorite song of all time - walk of life thank you to my dad for introducing me early to some dire straits So far away starts playing and it’s like I'm a teeny tiny child with my dad singing to me 🥺🥺 Like the amount of instrumental and how it complements the lyrics but the second half of the album wasn’t super strong or memorable for me maybe I’m too biased from the ones I know Favorite is walk of life and second is so far away. Both those songs are five stars but overall …

So many* things to say this album has made me realize that reggae is really not my thing

Sarah Vaughan just serenaded me through the grad problem on nonlinear

Honestly pretty good

Would be higher if it didn’t feel like one thirty six minute song

Queen II Awesome. Love. Freddie mercury voice of an angel.

Really liked it and will be realistening Love how it started so crazy, fast tempo, lots going on and then slowed itself down. Super cool. Very deserving of my first 5 stars
