1001 Albums Summary

A good listen but didn't have any of their best songs. After a couple of listens Shining Star and Reasons are my favourite and I found the spoken word on All About Love quite funny.

I Wanna Be Adored is insanely good, the guitar sounds otherworldly, She Bangs The Drums and Fools Gold were great too. Nothing else stood out loads from the 2 full listens, and I don't think it needed to be an hour long. I was surprised how much 80s jangle pop sound there was but it makes it sound even more ahead of its time when you hear the outro of I am the Resurrection and Fools Gold at the end.

For such a quintessential 90s grunge album I was surprised at how much it sounded like late 80s hard rock. If Eddie Vedder's voice was pitched up I'd think a lot of these sounded like guns and roses songs, but I wouldn't do that because his voice sounds very nice the way it is.

Come together sounds electric yet restrained. Something is nice but I wouldn't call it one tlof the greatest love Songs ever. Maxwells and oh darling are my least favourite part of the album, usually Paul's ability to make a timeless song is one of his greatest assets as a songwriter but here it just makes them sound generic like they could've been written by anyone. Ocotpus' garden is delightful. I Want You (She's so Heavy) is one of the Beatles' best songs, George and Paul are note perfect, John's vocal performance I think is one of his best ever, and between this and Helter-skelter Skelter, Ringo might be kne of the best metal drummers ever desilpute not being a metal drummer. Here comes the sun and Because are great. You Never Give Me Your Money might be one of my favourite Paul songs and the rest of the medley works really well I liked how the pace seemed to get quicker as it went on.

Wow this guy can sing.
