1001 Albums Summary

I enjoyed the instrumentation on this album, which is very bright and layered, along with certain sound effects such as the rain. Vocals great and good melodies throughout. Slightly bloated since it is a double album. I was not a fan of the song Jungle, and while the final two songs were not bad, they were unnecessary to the album and took away from the cohesion and sound/narrative of the album overall.

A good balance of hard hitting tracks with a few slower meaningful songs thrown in there, as well as the handful of all time well known songs in there. I liked most songs on this but I wasn’t huge on Mr. Brownstone which is my only skip on the album. Guitar and drums stood out to me throughout the album on the production side.
