Great connection between all the songs. I hadn't known that "Common People" is their song before listening to this album. "I Spy" sounds to me like a combination of all songs on the world - "It's A Sin" by Pet Shop Boys, a little bit like Queen. Of course "Disco 2000" is also worth mentioning! Definitely great album to be the first one out of the 1001.
I'm not a hip hop fan, but The Love Below has a cool jazzy vibe, so overall the album is quite acceptable. 2/5 mostly thanks to "My Favourite Things".
And God, this is long indeed.
How an rock album can be so featureless? Total impotency. But "Wild In The Streets" somehow saves it from getting 1/5. However, I can understand why this album is among the 1000.
Expected that this is gonna be good and it was. Surely is an remarkable album. Not an Elvis fan, so a strong 3/5.
The first song and the guy's voice are good. The rest of the album is not even worth mentioning.
A masterpiece. I cannot describe what I feel while listening to "Love Song" - I'm not often so deeply moved by any song. Vanian's voice - absolutely exeptional.
I thought I'm gonna force myself to listening to this album, but it was actually really good. Not my type, but I enjoyed it. Very good.
After listening to Phrenology, I understand why people like hip-hop. Still not my type tho.
Nice jazz stuff, but without singer that would be much better. I'm glad that I listened to "Glad". Too repetetive to rate higher than 3/5 (3.49 in my mind :D).
I think that it's almost impossible to fuck up an electronic album.
Listening to guitar solos on this album is like putting your head into an exhaust of F1 car with V12 engine and pushing with low-fuel load around Monza. Absolute eargasm.
Punk is always great. End of review.
Well, he played it safe. Nothing extraordinary.
Completely mediocre. Nothing to write about it. Quite a waste of time.
yeah, i know it's something i had to listen, but didn't feel great pleasure. Cool voice tho.
"Two States" - that's why I listened this album.
Mixed folk content from everywhere performed by one band - sounds bad, but it's not bad at all.
Sounds like they were ahead of their times - hard to believe that's an album from 60s. "Mr. Soul" and "Good Time Boy" - best songs of that album.
Be patient while listening to this album. The higher the number of the song, the better the song is.
Like every album with slow, sad songs.
As TH no. 1 fan ;) I think that this album should be replaced by Speaking With Tongues, which to my best knowledge isn't among the 1000 (and one). Still, it's great to observe the transformation of the band from '77 to Fear Of Music. If you ever wondered how the mix of '77 and FOM would look like, that's the answer. When you listen to all the band's albums, it'll become very clear that an album like "More Songs..." had to be recorded. For me it always seemed like a natural step and maybe that's why I wasn't focusing on it.
But songs like: "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel", "Found a Job'', "I'm Not in Love", "Stay Hungry", "The Big Country" and "Take Ne to the River" are absolutely TOP.
I also have to say that "The Good Thing" sounds too calm and predictable for a TH song and "Artist Only" sounds too much like a Talking Heads song.
Weird. And weird is good. Probably it'll be good to listen to it another time.
It's hip-hop for normal people. Nice combination of styles.
I knew a few Radiohead songs before ("Creep", etc.) and I was expecting something similar but this album is actually quite good. Thank God I found out that I'm capable of listening to Radiohead without any physical pain, maybe even with some kind of pleasure?
Great voice, but she's using it for the wrong purpose.
First 2 songs are amazing. The remaining ones - hard to listen.
#30 - the best album so far, and they had tough rivals - Deep Purple, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Elvis, Kraftwerk.
Oh my God... What they did I never heard in my life. Every songs sounds both different and similar to the others. This is so good that you're afraid of listening to this album again.
When "Odyssey and Oracle" is the album that you had to listen day earlier, it's clear that "Scott 2" cannot be rated as high as its predecessor.
When you have to pause the album to have a break three times, you know it's not a good sign.
Well, they're singing and playing something, but that's it.
It has something interesting in it. Hard to describe, but some songs are great.
I read somewhere in the comments under one Talking Heads song that this is how MA would sound if they existed back then. Because of that I was looking forward to this album. Now I am looking forward to listening to the next one as soon as possible.
I regret wasting my time for this
That's what good album is about. You cannot predict what's coming next.
Another great song after great song.
This is what happens when you try to make "more accessible rock" that of "Slanted and Enchanted". It's accessible for anyone, but admired by no one.
It's the same case as with electronic music - it's impossible to make bad RnB/Funk album.
One of a very few woman that I enjoyed listening to. And you can understant what she is singing, too.
I had an unpleasant duty of listening to their "Vanishing Point" earlier. "Screamadelica" is three times better, which is not a great achievement, but I even felt some kind of pleasure while listening to the first song.
Respect for that experimental content.
It's Led Zeppelin. It's perfect.
Absolutely no emotions while listening to it.
Well, she's definitely doing something
It's a good sign when you can loop the album and you don't realize that you're listening to a song for a third time.
Expected something different.
Every song is different. And that's what I respect.
During listening, I thought "Oh, I listened to one album by Pixies and it sounded completly different, that's good!" Then I realized that they were The Smiths.
World music deserves the highest rating.
Dobre, szalone pierdolnięcie. Czwóreczka się należy
Kiedy moim oczom ukazał się ten album, natychmiast pomyślałem: szatańskie bełty, których nie da się słuchać. Tymczasem jednak zaprezentowana jest całkiem spójna, dopracowana całość. Gdyby wczoraj ktoś zwierzył mi się, że słucha Taylor Swift, natychmiast w powietrzu wykonałbym znak krzyża celem odpędzania złych duchów. Dziś również wykonałbym znak krzyża, ale jako błogosławieństwo.
One of the biggest questions: why women with beautiful voices waste their talent for singing songs that are total crap, to say the least.
It's very gentle, I expected something heavier. +1 star for the album cover
first 30 sec of no1 song sound exactly like some polish song
The singer's voice is coming from a lake, can't understand a s***.
At some moments it sounds like he is close to something that may be acceptable
Good God... I wish I could give 0/5
weird. And weird in a bad way.
A lot of songs that you've heard earlier, but you cannot name them.
Well, there is a guy that played in TH later, so it has to be rated properly.
Well, his last one, so cannot rate lower
Electronic, but nothing amazing
First 5 in a long time. Excellent
They is some potential, but it's hidden very deeply.
Expected something much better. The last song is very good, tho.
The album is almost as long as my cock
A lot of mediocre albums in a row now
Don't listen to it while playing Rocket League
Uhuhu. That's some serious music.
23th of December is a good day for listening to this one.
I'm sick of this shit being played everywhere for the whole fucking December.
And "White Christmas" sung by a woman? The craziest thing in the whole history of music.
The singer sounds a bit like David Byrne, which is good.
had to take a break in the middle. It's not a terrible album, but very energy-consuming
Why is this guy here? I mean, there are thousands of artists that sound exactly the same as he does. These songs are just... normal. Nothing more than that.
Great early childhood memories
They're good, but the album doesn't sound to me at all.
It took me more than 24 hours to deal with this thing. A lot of pauses. Maybe 1 song was OK.
Outtakes are just as good as regular tracks.
They really feel the rythm.
When the best track on the album is Untitled and lasts only 44 seconds...
not a single song to remember
I gave "Transformer" only 4 stars, so here it has to be the same
