A milestone in vocal arrangements, I guess. This isn't my thing. But I seem to remember how different Destiny's Child was back in the day. We weren't ready for that jelly. But seriously, it kind of peters out as it goes along. They tried a little too hard to follow their survivor "concept".

I first heard Pardon Me on the radio in high school and was immediately interested in hearing more of this band. I soon bought this and their earlier albums at the local CD shop (when those were a thing). I had a ton of stuff going on in my life at the time and music just amplified it all. This was one of the albums I listened to a lot through it all so listening to it now just sucks me back into those days. That's why it's five stars for me.
Aside from personal reasons, I think it's a solid album and one of their best.

I'm 161 days into this and, so far, I keep coming back to the same conclusion. A list of 1,001 albums is too long to be a quality list. We end up with a lot of duds, like this one. There are much better albums out there, but the almighty listmaker didn't want to include multiples from bands that are popular, I assume because they're afraid of being seen as cliché.
Somebody needs to whittle this list down to a solid 500.

It's not groundbreaking, but it's not as bad as people are saying. There's only one Rolling Stones cover and a Doors cover and they're both more interesting than a lot of the covers of those songs.
The whole idea is to mix modern electronic instruments with the traditional sitar. The sitar definitely overpowers the rest in most songs.

Sorry Patti Smith fans. She has a habit of doing this thing at the end of a line that I just can't get past. I don't know how to describe it.

Surely somebody out there knows what I'm talking about.

Thanks to this album, I've learned that bongo is only good in moderation. I think the Incredible Bongo Band realized that too, because some songs have the bongo parts at a lower volume.
Plus...is this some kind of compilation album? It's pretty much the same tracklisting as the "40 Years Of..." compilation. Kind of weird for the 1001 albums list.

Oh I remember this one. Bought and returned the CD several times because it would NOT work on my CD player. It was a kinda cheap CD player, but it played all of my other CDs. Something about this CD kept it from working. The last time I returned it I ended up buying Reel Big Fish instead. Which is ironic, because they have a song about being "Trendy" and that's exactly what I was doing by getting the Reel Big Fish CD. Got rid of that one pretty soon too. Anyway, I guess my point is that this is better than Reel Big Fish. Even though it was more memorable than The Verve.

The cover art is a popular t-shirt design, so of course the average rating is over 3.5. Guns N' Roses were like a movement. This album was like the culmination of hair metal. It was an album my brother always played super loud on cassette and made my parents mad. To me these songs are just memories. They have little to offer me after being so ingrained into my brain. Mr. Brownstone is probably the best one that hasn't been overplayed on radio, in movies and during sporting events.

The weirdest part of the album was Feet Music when it went all 'normal'.
I think the artist of cover also did a cover for Coldcut that same year. Hope that album's on the list.

Lots of people are rating this based on who Kanye is now. I can honestly say I've always had a problem with him and his music. Any egotistical issues he has now was probably fed by his fans from early on. At the time when this album was released, the music was fresh and different, but the lyrics, however clever, and his voice have always been obnoxious to me. So I can only take a little Kanye every few years. Maybe every few decades now.

For the year or two after this was released it felt like we could hear the whole album on the radio, so I never bothered listening to the whole thing. But there are quite a few songs that weren't singles that are pretty good. She definitely shook things up back then. Just not the sort of thing I listen to a lot. And the way her voice cracks or whatever as she's catching her breath after a line gets old.

This Year's Model
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
I was introduced to Elvis Costello & The Attractions through the 1¢ tape deals Columbia House used to be known for. You could get like seven tapes for a penny or something to start a membership (the deal always changed), but I think you were restricted to certain albums. I think I had five or six and needed a few more so I went with Elvis Costello's greatest hits because it seemed interesting (had never heard of him before that). Pump It Up was one of my favorites on that tape and this album is pretty much peak Elvis Costello for me.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Good guitar work (when you have seven guys in the band, including three guitarists, you're bound to have at least one decent guitarist) and pretty much all of their best tracks on are this album. I used to be a fan of this band, the whole culture and atmosphere around their music is kinda depressing and crusty.

The first minute was promising and it quickly deteriorated into some guy messing around with keyboards and other instruments.
I'm nearly halfway through this list and it's becoming clearer every day that the number (1,001) was set when they only had a list of 300 or so.
