1001 Albums Summary

i honestly had not heard any songs off this album besides fast car. i really enjoyed it the rough quality of her voice was really pleasant to listen to it reminds me of something id want to hear while driving through the country in the 80s. the different instruments used in this were also really toe tickling. the message in this album is still a little too relevant though some of the songs were a little too… intimate for my taste? like it felt like just her and the guitar. which, musically? beautiful. but not something i would throw on. favorite tracks were 1,2 ofc, 5 & 6

i would have rated this a four if it wasn't a cover album, but i did really enjoy this. the twangy but smooth quality of his voice over these classics really made them special to listen to.

this helped me get through my calculus homework.

i dont know how i feel about this one. the story behind the album is compelling of course it’s his last work before he died and the pain he felt can be heard through the lyrics and vocals(?) but it seems like more of a personal project than anything. i’m not sure i’ll come back to it, but it was worth the initial listen.

i really enjoy how punchy this album was. not remarkable, but certainly enjoyable to listen to. the songs did kind of blend together, but i guess that's a good thing since there was nothing in here i hated..

i will always love billy joel, i will always love this album, i will always think of my friend eriks when i listen to it. 10/10 no notes

the moaning in the first track really pissed me off so it lowered my opinion of the album as a whole. but a punk rock album is not made to make you feel comfortable, its made to shake things up-- and i believe that this album accomplished that. would i listen again? maybe not. but it was not an unenjoyable listen, just a bit of an abrasive one.

I was wondering why I liked the instrumentals so much, and then it occurred to me that it was because they reminded me of radiohead. like a lot. a little too much. but the album itself was a pleasant listen that didn't really allow me to form too many opinions about it. i liked the vocals, didn't really listen to the lyrics, because again, radiohead. but it was a kind of... subdued album. would want to listen to this in the rain.
