1001 Albums Summary

kind of weird i've never heard the album in full. also pretty ironic that the michael movie has been launched just a couple of weeks ago. the drums are so !!! toit i think i've heard more covers of michael jackson songs than the originals. i like speed demon (the falsetto part got me rolling though) i just do not like this type of music / pop?

ok thought i would not like this album because... i thought it was going to be sweet caroline vibes. no! great surprise. read a comment that said she's got great vocal phrasing (i.e., not over singing, pace great, just natural) and i've got to agree. she never sounds strained. i like just a little lovin' and don't want to hear it anymore the most.

so many iconic albums i haven't heard all the way through. reminds me of how much i like this exercise! i like five years a lot also starman is a classic (enough said). how catchy are the melodies and the instrumentals being loudly mixed over the vocals which almost seem background to me - i think it suits the intentions of the album well. i like rock and roll suicide as well, the arrangement is so texturally fun and interesting throughout. don't really feel that deeply about ziggy stardust despite it being the title track / centre piece because of the lyrics. tried hard to get into it :/
