1001 Albums Summary

Really enjoyed the African influence that didn't come off like a parody or cheap imitation. Preferred the first 2/3 of the album to the last. Already knew/loved Once in a Lifetime. Happy to have heard The Great Curve and Houses in Motion.

Holy shit. 25 Minutes to Go was written by SHEL SILVERSTEIN?!? I am partial to the more fast-paced tracks and they're less than half the album but they carry it. Might regret not giving this a 5 later.

This is where I admit that I started this project once before and abandoned it. The first time I listened to this album all the way through was at the very beginning of that run. I still get the hype, but it's still not really my thing.

Second second-pass album. I guess it's not as groundbreaking as I felt it was on my first go round, but it's still very good blues rock. Sympathy for the Devil (obviously), Dear Doctor, and Factory Girl are tops for me.
