1001 Albums Summary

a concept album if there ever was one! what’s going on is not my favorite album sonically (2/5 stars), but lyrically it’s a 5/5. the songwriting messaging within it should be so elementary for us all to apply to the way we live and treat others, unfortunately in 2026 we’ve not yet come to the fruition of this idealistic songwriting! songs that made their way into my playlists: what’s going on, mercy mercy me (the ecology), right on, inner city blues (make me wanna holler), sad tomorrows. i would definitely listen again, because first impressions aren’t always the last!
