1001 Albums Summary

Much needed disco in my life. $10 says I'll hear a bit that's sampled that will drive me nuts for a week figuring out what it is. That was okay. Film and TV have ruined "We are Family" unfortunately. I've been trying to break into more authentic disco and RnB and this is a good step in the right direction but not every song gripped me. Lost my $10. Favorites: He's the greatest dancer Somebody loves me 6/10

Yeah... I think the biggest issue for me is the 80s butt-rock vocals. "Remember tomorrow" was easily my favorite track on the album purely because the vocals were much more "restrained" and melodic as opposed to the constant 80s high-energy gargle. The instrumental breaks were pretty good especially with the dual guitar solos (like in "Phantom of the Opera"). It's very clear to hear the prog-rock influence but it's masked by the mixing and screechier guitar and vocals. Favorite Tracks: Remember Tomorrow Phantom of the Opera Least favorite: I forgor 3/10

Just Dance music. I'm pretty torn on the vocals. I really like her voice and the background vocals in heart of glass but I'm not the biggest fan of the growling that she does in One way or another and at least once in every other song in the album. Instrumentation was fine but nothing super memorable, I like the organ. Favorite track(s): Heart of glass (popular pick I know...) 11:59 Least favorite: I know but I don't know 2/5

Frick man. I listened to this album in the completely wrong headspace. Boring chords. Screeching guitar solos. Nothing vocals. Best: Thorn tree in the garden Worst: Layla (Frick this song)

Good soul. The blues are back baby. Favorite(s): You don't miss your water Ole man trouble Least: Wonderful world
