1001 Albums Summary

i liked this ! it’s very up my alley. this is definitely going in my rotation and i will recommend but i also know that i should really deep dive the lyrics more before i completely decide so this is my first time on this website so let’s see if i can go back and edit this after i lyrically dissect

really appreciate the poetic story telling in the first two songs. as i’m in the middle of birdland i am the target audience for this type of piece but im also getting older so i am changing too! there were moments i was reminded of fiona apple whom i love so i was excited to see what came next. i was familiar with fiona apple prior to patti smith which is why i phase it this way even tho i obviously know smith came first. Free Money is more what i would look for in a playlist to put on first as i go about my day. i know this is ridiculous to say a bit bc of the context of the song but if i ignore that for a second i can just feel the instrumental which could sometimes be more important to a song than the story. not that it’s true here it’s just a statement LOL. as the album went on i found myself enjoying it less and less. not to say that it’s a terrible album but ill most likely only relisten to gloria and redondo beach! maybe i’ll revisit again in the future but until then, ttyl patti
