1001 Albums Summary

First time listening to this album straight through even though I've heard about half the songs individually before. Like most Beatles albums, I feel like their music is better listened to in a variety playlist. It makes it kind of hard to rate the album because overall, it's a big "this is average", but there are some great songs on here and it feels very "classic". Decent highs, low lows. Favorites: With a Little Help from my Friends, She's Leaving Home, Within You Without You, Lovely Rita, A Day in the Life Song that made me suffer: Good Morning Good Morning 3 stars: some fun songs, would listen to some songs again, but probably never as a whole album

Never heard of album or artist, so going in totally fresh. First impressions are that it's ok. Peaceful, emotional, poetic lyrics, lots of religious imagery. Not sure I would ever listen to this again, but it felt worthwhile to experience and I wouldn't be annoyed to hear it again. It fell into the background for me, not really in a good or a bad way. Favorite song: Suzanne  2 Stars: ok, not annoying, wouldn't ever choose to put on again

3 stars almost leaning 4: Some really nice songs on here that I would listen to again. This might upgrade to a 4 with additional listens, but I guess part of the reason it gets is 3 is that I am not that keen on doing additional listens. If this album was on while I was cooking or something it would be pleasant, but I am not sure that I'd ever choose to put it on. I don't think I'd pick it up at the record store.
