1001 Albums Summary

I have listened to this album multiple times, thinking, “why do other ppl say this is the Beatles best?” This question is still not entirely answered to me after this re-listen, which is okay. Yet, when Lucy in the Sky starts to play, I remember what it meant to listen to the Beatles for the first time. A good feeling. Getting Better sounds great too. Fuck, she’s leaving home’s strings are so elegant. Whole song is perfectly arranged and a true heartbreaker. Swapping to the B-side and immediately listening to within you without you must’ve been an unreal reaction. I don’t think I’ve exactly perceived this song, nor what George Harrison is trying to say, still it’s beautiful. I wanna love the next three songs that follow, but all I have a cheap compliments, they just aren’t it for me. A Day in the Life was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. It’s a bit of an epic. I love John’s haunting verses and aahs in the background. Royal Albert hall. I like how you can hear the count in the crescendo. Great album! There are better Beatles 😋

I listened to this album maybe 2 months ago and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The lyrics may be stupid, but combined with the guitars and drums, makes all the songs fun. I like Mr. Brownstone a lot

I don’t think I’m a fan of the long British lyrics, kinda makes the fun instrumentals boring. Idk I’m just not really interested in it right now. Picked up in the second half.

These songs fuck, like all of them. I love when the bass cuts through, the tone is super punchy. Every song has this drive that’s perfectly composed with the verse to choruses style. Belinda Carlisle’s voice is perfect, especially for these songs. Feels like a mix of rock, surf, punk, pop- that shit is special.
