#1 My first review on this website. Maybe one day I'll finish this challenge, maybe not. I will definitely not always be able to do one album every day. Anyways, idk who's even going to read this but I'll leave this out here.
At times it's hard to get the hype of The Beatles but I try. Sometimes I succeed but have to force myself which may not be the best thing to do. Once I get them though, I truly get them but it really depends on my mood.
The album itself is so bloated. It's always hard for me to listen to albums longer than an hour. Luckily SOME of the songs make up for it. One track The Beatles are being the brightest musicians of their generation and on the next they sound just like some drunks having fun. And of course there's Revolution 9... At the end of the day, the overall first impression of listening to a full album from this band is positive for me.
R.I.P Dolly Parton
#2 This was hard for me to review since I'm not a fan of Country music, never listened to a full Country album and just associate the genre with America, beer, eagles and country roads. All I can say that these women can sing but a lot of the songs blurred into one.
I might need to one day return to this album once I've made myself more familiar with Country music and Dolly Parton.
#3 Feels like I'm in the best elevator in the world. The french were absolutely cooking in music in the 90s and 2000s. Daft Punk is obviously the most notable from this musical scene but today I learned there's more. Air is also supposed to be quite popular so I guess I'm not that deep in the rabbit hole to which I might not return to besides when it's time to listen to some Daft Punk.
4# Mostly just generic rock music. Love the energy but I know quite a few local high school bands who sound better than this. Idk if every album on this 1001 album list even needs to be listened to before you die. Or wait, perhaps I have to get used to garage rock. Oh well, guess I have another album to return to one day.
#5 Now that's some actual quality rock music. Felt very nice to listen and the dark vibe is really cool. I wish there was more to say but I was kinda sleepy listening to it.
#6 An album full of basic piano ballads about heartbreak but at the same time they're also good? Of course the whole thing here has mainstream pop kinda vibe but there's also something pure? I wonder what Adele could do if she was so much more open to making more unique sounding music. Or maybe her label just has preferences, idk.
How the fuck did this make it on the list.
#7 As the album went on, so did the quality decline. This whole mess screams "I'm emo and the whole fucking world hates me". Luckily you can sniff out a few highlights when the energy and the performances click better than in the rest of the album.
#8 What a classic sounding record. Doesn't even sound like it was recorded in the 70s. This band could've definitely become more well-known if they didn't sound like all the other popular rock bands at the time.
#9 I've never felt like a rock album is truly for me but this one is different. All the songs clicked with me in some way. Nothing sounds forced or weird. Take Me Out is one of the catchiest rock songs I've ever heard.
#10 First milestone! Should've attained this sooner. At least I have the absolute best album to celebrate this small goal to.
Peak, peak, PEAK. This the greatest disco album off all time. Show me one album which is more upbeat and catchy than this (Thriller?).
#11 The curator of this list really likes rock, huh?
Peculiar album. I don't understand what it's trying to be or what kind of emotion it's trying to convey. It was just a chill listening experience in the end.
#12 The weirdest listening experience yet in this challenge. I didn't get the album at all on my first listen. The atrocious mixing, no bass and drowned out vocals. What is going on?? So I keep on listening to it and I'm slowly starting to understand the artistic (or autistic) choices made. It has something no other album has but right now I'm keeping it at 4 stars cause you should be able to recognize the true greatness of an album quickly.
