1001 Albums Summary

Listened through three times. Was not particularly impressed first run through but it did grow on me.

Brilliant.

Wonderful. The musicianship from the band is incredible and what a voice. Nearly lost a point for the Stones cover which I'm not sure works but that'd be churlish. 5/5

Very pleasant to listen while working. Dreamlike. Grown on me over the weekend. 4/5

Really interesting mix of song styles with some quite weird stuff going on. Can see the influence on Richard Hawley, Jack White, Alex Turner and others. 2nd half much better than the first. Old Man and Get Behind Me are brilliant.

Not massively taken by this but liked the energy and interesting song structures.

Nah, not for me. The later more traditional tracks were OK but the covers were awful.

Enjoyed the music but not so much the singing or lyrics. Quite good fun all in all but not for me.

Very disappointing.

This is the good thing about this. Never in a million years would I have listened to a Louis Prima album! Good fun.

Not bad. Bit samey but like the low-fi mood. Clearly signs of the good things they did to come.

Thought the fist half was shit but then the second half was the shit.

Absolute bona fide classic. Easy 5*

More depth to the music than I expected. Production is excellent meaning it sounds simultaneously raw and warm.

Not my favourite album but it's classic Bob Dylan ffs 5/5

One of my all time favourites. Amazing live band too. Easy 5

Prefer live Cash stuff to the studio albums. The interaction with the crowd/prisoners brings it to life.

Years since I listened to this (on tape probably). Stands up very well all in all and was good to listen to the less known songs again.

Hadn't realised this was recorded late in his career (and life). You can hear in the recording how relaxed and fun the sessions were. Great stuff.

Incredible piece of work

Too much flannel. Was a chore.

Nah, not for me.

Absolute classic.

Kinda nice. Some really good songs but most just muddle along.

Good fun, classic rock n roll.

Memories of my teenage college days. Some real classics on this but a couple don't sound so good this far removed from the shoegaze heyday.

Sounded better to my older ears. Not a huge fan of his voice though. Will give it a few more listens.

Modern classic. Love it!

Some of the greatest songs ever recorded but the whole piece is ultimately let down by a couple of awful ones. It's David Bowie though so you have to forgive the experiments don't you?

Never listened to this from start to finish before. I prefer these original versions to many of the more overly produced and polished versions. A couple of the songs are of a much lower standard but it would be churlish to give this anything lower than 5.

Very raw which works with the better songs but leaves some songs feeling too incomplete. Still a good record.

Great album, up there competing to be his best for me.

Very good, amazing in parts but not their best.

One of the best albums from one of the best bands.

The very best songs are some of the best pop songs ever which makes some of the weaker songs stand out like a sore thumb.

Amazing songwriting. Genius.

More miss than hit!

Not my usual listen but I enjoyed it in the background.

Better than I expected. 2nd half better than the 1st.

Stands up to the test of time for me. Very good songwriting.

Good fun energetic punk album. Probably better in smaller doses but some excellent songs on there.

Nice, easy listen. Background music.

Some of the songs sound a bit weak with the passage of time but it's still a modern cultural classic. 4

Excellent. Brilliant pop songs and fantastic long, deeper funk tracks.

Fair to middling. Not particular my bag.

Not the sort of thing I'd normally listen to but really enjoyed this. Will listen again.

Easy 5 star.

Love Tennessee!

Oh they're rated!

Not one I've heard before and I enjoyed it. Not a patch on What's Going On but then, what is?

Obviously a revolutionary band and album but it sounds a bit samey

Really like the vibe. Will listen again and investigate more!

Everyone loves Rumours, don't they?

Enjoyed this back in the day but it's not aged particularly well.

Better than I expected. Quite nice.

Decent

What a voice!

Better than I expected tbf.

Some really good parts but some (the last few) absolute stinkers

Enjoyed the rawness.

Largely overblown bollocks

Enjoying this a great deal. 7/10 (4*)

Very nice indeed.

Brilliant. Not a huge Springsteen fan but this (and Nebraska) are wonderful.

Just not my cup of tea at all.

Hit and miss. Some of the quirkier ones hit the mark but most is mor bollocks.
