1001 Albums Summary

Wow, surprisingly good right off the bat (writing this right as the first song finishes). I awas going into this remembering the brothers´s braggado and unlikability. But their self-esteem translates quite well into these rock anthems. I can see why they gained their status and became the fave band of so many people. I´m glad this has been suggested to me! Some really standout tracks, but I don´t think I´ll be running to relisten that soon.

What the helly? I´d be so surprised if the very first song was NOT the main inspo for King Gizzard´s Altered Beast suite! ok, this is jazzy and way happier than King Gizz´s album titled Murder of the Universe, but really, this is how we start a 67 y. old jazz album? You´ve got me hooked and I feel enlightened! oh and Take Five is from this very album? nice! I instantly knew the melody! Overall an enjoyable album, where I could really appreciate the artistry, though, at times leaning towards "background music".

(I somehow lost the notes that I'd made prior to listening to the album - but I complimented the album cover! it had really sparked my curiosity! I was keen to listen!) but yeah, I think after listening to the album I'll only keep liking the cover. So so so good! I wish I liked the music more - and don't get me wrong, I've always been drawn to Miles based on his genre and his legacy / reputation, but these 2 tracks were putting me to sleep on my Friday afternoon ride from Bratislava to Žilina (and the traffic jam which made it 30-40 minutes longer certainly didn't help). So, not a perfect setting - and Phoebe Bridgers put out an album which is really tough to follow. But I sat through it. And I wouldn't mind putting it on in a café, I'd even go as far to say I'd love it then! I'm grateful for "having to listen to this" and for the opportunity given to me by 1001albums, thank you.

I have literally 0 expectations going into this album - but the cover is really good regardless of genre, it´s genuinely a good painting! Yeah, upon listening, this genre honestly isn´t for me. I´m sorry, Dolly sang her lungs out, but the genre itself just doesn´t interest me. I wouldn´t mind it in a movie or something, but that´s about it. I won´t revisit this, sorry.

Actually the reviews below made me a little worried, but this turned out to be quite an enjoyable listen on my drive home! I´ll remember him for the longer jams, some of these were right up my alley.
