1001 Albums Summary

Fantastic rock. Some really great riffs and outstanding guitar from Eddie.

High production value. Hate to love "The Party". New workout music.

Outstanding vocals and guitar. Love the bluesy jams. A couple less memorable cuts on the latter half.

Pretty dated. I really liked the mellower b-side.

Humorous, heartbreaking, groovy, beautiful. Such an enjoyable listen. Really, really unique.

Loved hearing the interaction with the prison audience. I found many of the songs very repetitive in form, but an entertaining record nonetheless. 3.5 rounded down

Not my style.

Really enjoyed the conscious lyricism here. Tracy Chapman has a great voice with a lot of subtle, gentle soul.

Love the instrumentation. Lead singer's voice doesn't quite do it for me on most tracks. Fun, high energy pop. 2.5 rounded up.

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. There isn't much going on here, but these simple tunes are all extremely well sung and performed.

I really liked the ethereal vibe and harmonies. I did not like the nonsense lyrics and boring drum machine.

Some of the greatest songwriting ever. Elliot's style is so unique, intimate, passionate, vulnerable, and engaging. I will learn guitar, because of this record.

One of the greatest albums of all time. How To Disappear Completely may be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Absolutely brilliant songwriting and performances on every track.

I really liked the back half of this album. In Every Home a Heartache is fantastic. Wasn't crazy about the "glam" elements of this project, such as the style of the lead vocalist.
