1001 Albums Summary

this album is not good. well, it's well produced, but the songs just suck. they're all products of their time, with little to no heart. so many songs are just "please have sex with me i want sex so bad please it's good please i'm a gentleman but i want sex" stupid dumb idiot album

Truly an bad album. I felt nothing but annoyance listening to it, anxiously waiting for it to just be over. bad bad bad.

yeah dude this is just noise. the songs are too long and repetitive. it's intentionally grating, not a fan. maybe in the right headspace? idk not my kind of hardcore

First full Elvis album I listened to. Wholly pleasant experience. Maybe some tracks were more forgettable than others, but none of them were bad. My favorite tracks were probably "In the Ghetto" and "Suspicious Minds."

Quaint little album. Gives you the vibe of sitting by a campfire on the prairie. The tracks all feel pretty similar, but it's a peaceful vibe, sometimes somber, sometimes reflective. Most songs are very short, around two minutes. But the strongest track is probably the longest one - "Can I Sleep in Your Arms." I also liked "Blue eyes crying in the rain," the title track "Red Headed Stranger," and "Time of the Preacher"

The vibes of 90s rap are so nice. The beats are pretty simple, and most of the album feels like some dudes just messing around. A lot of the tracks take aim at institutionalized racism, in hollywood, in the music industry, in day to day life. The title of the album means the status quo fears black people in power, black people having success. It's okay having them be participants in society, but not leaders. Pretty clever with the space theming on the cover. Some of the tracks are just beats. Just vibes on those tracks, not as much substance. The album is a bit too long. The title track isn't what the album is known for - it's the final song "Fight the Power," you know it.

Yall like this crap?

It's fine. I read that it was written as the soundtrack for a movie, and it sounds like it. The tracks aren't that enjoyable independently, but it's fun to imagine how they might be used as background in a movie (or just used as background while you go about your day). too much moaning

Good vibes, solid background music. Pretty forgettable though. I think it's only included on this list because of the iconic "le freak," nothing else really stands out.

meandering eight minute ballad ain't for me dawg. and why is an english band naming itself "japan"

Phenomenal acoustic album. Actually adding this one to my rotation.

Yeah, pretty much every song sounds the same. British punk kinda sucks. Is this the definitive british punk album? not a fan.
