1001 Albums Summary

I have always really loved this album, the music itself is great. It creates this feeling of futuristic while also being retro at the same time and it works incredibly well. I love the use of synth and all the drum beats are fantastic. I especially like the vocals, his voice like perfects the sound that the group is aiming for. But I also think this album grapples with some bigger themes like trying to figure out the meaning of life. Yoshimi is the girl who is trying to “fight” with herself to figure it out. She goes through a bunch of stuff and then kind of figures out that right now is what matters, nothing else really does. We have to use the time given to us

This album has grown on me since the first time I listened to it. At first I thought that the middle section of the project was just alright and so held the rest down. But now I see that it’s not mid, this album is great in all sections. The middle isn’t as spectacular as the beginning and end but it holds it own. And being capped by songs like Baba O’Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, and Won’t Get Fooled again, this is the epitome of what classic rock is and it is incredible.

Despite the heavy cultural and political significance of this album, it really isn’t for me. Musically it just doesn’t do it for some reason. I know there are 3 songs that are amazing and incredible, and all three artists of the group are amazing artists, but i just can’t enjoy it. Maybe it’s a bit dated, but it hasn’t stood the test of time so i can’t give it a higher rating than this, though I wish I could.
