1001 Albums Summary

I've listened to this album dozens of times. It's pretty amazing, especially "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)" shifting into "Moon Turn Tides". It is an epic double album.

Dense synth sounds. Annie Lennox has an incredible voice. I remember these cats were really weird on MTV but still being intrigued. I guess that's why the Utah Saints sampled the hell out them. Love is A Stranger -- sets the tone for the whole album. Angelic and mechanical at the same time. Good stuff. I've Got an Angel -- sounds like hundreds of other 80s songs out there. Even has the chicka-chick-ah going on. Not a fan. Wrap It Up -- old Sam & Dave song getting the new wave treatment a la Bronski Beat. I like the Fabulous Thunderbirds version better. Not bad overall but a little tedious at times and not as innovative as I thought the Eurythmics would be. I thought I'd hear some far out synth-driven weirdnes and there a lot of that but of boring stuff too. Some cheesy sounds that don't work.

Pretty good over all. Ladytron is a standout. Falls apart a bit at the end.

Definitely Top 5 of all time. Planetarium Rock. It's a celebration of grand transience and wistful recognition of the fleetingness of all things combined with some serious guitar solos/rocking out.

Some super good ideas and what a voice. Got a little too Sabaru commercial at times.

Intro a little pedestrian. 2nd song "My Lady" definitely has a great pace, soaring. Rest just OK.

Liked it better than I thought I would. Used to hear Beth Orton dance remixes.

This is what I was hoping the Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" album had a little more of -- weirdness. A little grating at times and my wife literally said that one of the songs was the worst she's ever heard.

Foundational. Liked the whole thing. Poor Buddy.

Some really good ideas but just wore me down over the course of a very long album.

A little more energetic and spirited than Fleet Foxes. Still some Subaru commercial moments but overall above average. No need to listen to again, though.

Music for Subaru commercials. Bit of a snoozefest. Some poignant moments but lots of lags. Started liking some songs and realized that Spotify went on a similar artist shuffle, so yeah no need to ever hear this album again.

Good energy. Drummer really hitting those skins. I have a bias against PJ as I thought they were a little cheesy and not as hard as the music I listened to in High School. But not bad at all

Autobahn is a masterpiece. Some of the tracks are even more experimental in nature and didn't quite jibe with those.

Thought this was just great. Even paced and interesting.

First track makes you want to take on the world. Good from start to finish.

I'm biased as I know these guys to be a couple of jerks. My mother-in-law went to school with them. Also, what Paul Simon did in his musical appropriation from Los Lobos and South African artists is criminal. He basically stole their music, recorded some vocals over it and called it his own. So, yeah, screw these guys. Peter, Paul, and Mary are 5x better. That said, this is a collection of catchy, sensitive songs that take on a whole new meaning knowing the sinister natures of these two.

First two tracks are really good. Two Tribes is a standout also. That War cover is atrocious. Along with Born to Run. Then followed by a bunch of really boring tracks -- almost unlistenable towards the end.

No Expectations and the final track automatically make this a 5 star album.

Some creativity but doesn't really hold up over time.

Never seemed to build momentum. Couldn't connect to it.

Good opening track. Wish that Sound and Visions didn't have that hissing noise. The later Eno experimental tracks are interesting, weird but drag on with repeat listens.

Loved it.

Love this. Reminds me a bit of Fela. Great drummer.

Very unpleasant to listen to. First track is great though.

Moving and powerful. Don't like 'Diamonds in the Mine' though. Atypical and unhinged.

Heard most of these songs before. The ones I had not heard we're just ok.

Never like Bjork that much

How many YYY albums are on this list anyway? This one is a burner but ends flat. Karen O's vocals are sexy and scary.

Good old Southern Boogie Woogie. Not something I'd listen to again though. However, I'm sure I'll hear Free Bird another 10,000 times in my lifetime.
