1001 Albums Summary

track 1: Basic. Well performed. Not terribly novel or special. Feels like run of the mill corny love song. Just kind of ends. track 2: Good goopy funk. Definitely better to be a little high to properly appreciate this one. track 3: melodramatic ballot trying to get poon Track4: I WANNA BE WITH YOU lol Track5: "You got it bad" but he's singing pure thirst. Track 6: This is it. This is the whole reason for this album. delicious funk track 7: it's chill. The political messaging and vague country feel puts it in a sort of early country-folk vibe. track 8: Some slow dance blues. track 9: feels again like it's less for listening to, and more for being high or making out to. Maybe both. not a stellar listen on it's own. track 10: feels like something Styx copied, but maybe with softer edges. Overall feels more like a smattering of different works collected only by their proximity and authorship. The quality ranges wildly and nothing coheres. As an album, not bad, not great. Houses Superstitious though, and that counts for a lot.

Fantastic voice. Some real sonic bangers mixed with some pablum. Can't help but feel a little like the black artists this is borrowing from still did it better.

Funny to get this suggested right after Adele 21. A lot of similar inspirations and subjects. And yet, Amy comes through more dynamic, mature, and groovable. There is a sincerity that shines through the hip swaying and upbeat jams. As an album the songs make a solid collection with cohesive styles and themes, but enough variety to keep things from feeling samey or monotonous. It's something you can just turn on and let play to the end without skipping. She will be missed.
