Cruise ship lower decks lounge music. At best.

Got to the fourth song, Debonair, and called it quits. Jesus was a grating album. Just loud, unmelodious shouting. Didn't add and not even remotely interested in listening to anything else they've done.

Really enjoyed this. The title track has - unsuprisingly - a real autobahn feel to it. Added to my library.

Opening notes - I knew it was going to be great. Smooth, melodic, lyrically wonderful from end-to-end.

I made it to "She Walks on Me" and that was enough. God I hated this album.

Pretty good. Some songs great. I wouldn't have searched them out, so this site will really expose me to new music. Loved "These Days"

Based on what I read about the group today, this is the only album I would probably enjoy (and did). I'll search out other works by them, just to see. A decent album.

Solid rock. Motörhead had one speed: accelerated. But it's entertaining & simple and totally re-listenable.

With a mindful listen, this replaced Hard Days Night as my favourite Beatles album. Wonder from end-to-end, melodically & lyrically.

The psychedelic sound got tiresome even in the psychedelic era. Wasn't awful to me but not an addition to my library.

In 1977, I was listening to The Clash, The Sex Pistols and Sabbath. ELO wasn't even something I was remotely interested in. But 45-years later, and several listens over the years, it's grown on me. It's a lot of fun to listen to. Except Mr Bluesky. I'm so, so tired of that song.

Good for background music. Porcelain will always be a favourite.

Really enjoyed this. The title track has - unsuprisingly - a real autobahn feel to it. Added to my library.

Weird listening to this. For some reason, "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" caused me to start reminiscing about 70s TV shows like Welcome Back, Kotter and Good Times. A solid album with a lot of recognizable pieces. Worth adding to your library.

Well, they can't be accused of composing outside their comfort zone. If Brutalism has a musical counterpart, this is it. Made it through the full hour without breaking!

Fun but one song blended in to the next. It sounded like one long, energetic song.

I judged an album by its cover and expected some Depeche Mode/OMD-like music. Wasn't floored by it, but did enjoy. Prob addition to library.

Really enjoyed this. As always, what I expected was vastly different than what I received. Added to library.

Couldn't finish it. Starts off so strong with "Down on the Street" and then devolves into something a grade 8 basement band would create. Got part way through "TV Eye" and that was it. Earned its original poor reception and bad sales.

An existence that matches The Stooges in timeframe and albums recorded, this is to me VASTLY superior to Funhouse (which I just listened to). This album is a solid listenable slice of the sixties, though "Revelation" is about 14-minutes too long. Added to my library, regardless.

I'm partial to "Killer", but this is still a great album. I was never a fan of Uncle Alice's move to concept albums that bordered on Broadway shows, but this one only skirts that style. Already in my library.

Although I do enjoy Talk Talk's music, it needs to be in doses. An album of the same, unadventurous vocals is too much.

Is there a more iconic album? I prefer Hard Days Night & Rubber Soul, but this is solidly in the top 10 ever? Maybe top 5? Every damn song on it is recognizable.

I made it to "She Walks on Me" and that was enough. God I hated this album.

Funk, rock, blues. Really deserve their on-going, eight decade career. Added.

Wasn't a fan in high school, not a fan forty years later. Difficult to stay awake while listening. Light My Fire doesn't warrant the length of the song. Are people really fans of the group, or fans of being a fan?

Don't know why, but the inclusion of so many instruments always sounds overdone to me. Maybe it's because I'm accustomed to, or prefer, 3- or 4-piece bands. Anyway - solid album of good, listenable tunes. With plenty of brass and keyboards.

In his higher register, his voice is grating to me. Lower, like in Ambulance Blues, he's in John Prine mode and totally listenable. A good album, but not great. Not added.

Was barely aware when the next song came on. Lead singer phoned it in for most songs. Def not added.

Enjoyable but in the middle for me. Thankful I didn't have to listen to Smoke on the Water again (but I'm only twenty albums in)

Well, not without its merits but I don't know about "great". Went on forever - turns out I was listening to the Deluxe Edition (there's a Super Deluxe edition. Yikes). Not added.

I rarely listen to bands described as "pranksters", so except for 1001's suggestion, would never have listened to this album. It's actually decent - I'll probably give it a second listen sooner than later. But it's not added to my library.

A little Fishbone goes a long way. Not a fan of their frenetic, over-the-top stuff. Prefer their slower pieces.

Although vocally, they never stray far, the melodies and lyrics are great. They're music has aged well, and their brand new 2021 album of new music in their usual style shows that.

Was totally unaware of Jurassic 5 until an 20 minutes ago. Four songs in and already added to my library. THIS is the style Hip Hop/Rap I love, with spoken word audio samples liberally but perfectly inserted. Great beats, great lyrics. A Day at the Races - a smooth flowing river of words. This is a totally worthwhile album.

I probably have a Jones for this for sentimental reasons, but it's still a great listen. I was four months from being graduated, we danced, wore ties & topsiders. Aaaaaaaanyway - added to my library.

Opening notes - I knew it was going to be great. Smooth, melodic, lyrically wonderful from end-to-end.

Grating. Not added.

Probably represents ZZ Top's sound better than any other album they released. Solid rock & blues. Bought it when it was released, listened to it periodically since. A great album. Didn't need to add it - owned it for decades.

If asked to write down all the Beatles' albums from memory, I'd forget Revolver. Which I know, because I forgot it until it showed up on my list. It's great: musically, lyrically, production quality. Even the experimental pieces are approachable - which, for me, is often a reason I skip a Beatles song. Like all of their albums, Revolver is already part of my collection. It should be in yours, too.

Really enjoyed this. Wide range of styles, great for driving. Nothing skipped. Added.

Great early-ish Kinks. Much more enjoyable than their 80s work. Subject matter all over the place but sound is strictly Kinks. Wasn't aware - oddly enough - that Sunny Afternoon was one of their pieces. Enjoyed, but didn't add.

I've never been enamoured of Dylan's work, and usually prefer it performed as a cover by other artists. This was fun to listen to, though a little dull and unadventurous for a live album.

Couldn't finish it. Got half way, and it started to grate on my nerves. Might be among the first rock operas but I still didn't enjoy it. Didn't add, obviously.

I was unfamiliar with 8 of the 12 tracks on the original disk. It's 29-minutes of Beach Boy joy. Fun, lyrical, melodious. I would have been a fan if I wasn't only 9-months old when this album was released. Added.

Thoroughly enjoyable, if a little repetitious. The instrumentals pieces I could live without.

This is a legitimate classic. Even though I'd never heard the entire album before, I knew I'd love it. Steely Dan is one of those groups that hits their mark 80%-90% of the time. In that 10%-20% falls pieces like "Midnight Cruiser", which sound like it was written and performed by The Partridge Family.

Going to stick with the original. Really didn't enjoy this. The solo playing seemed frenetic and frantic. A struggle to complete. Thankful I didn't listen to the Deluxe version. Not added.

Meh for me. Hit & miss pieces. Loved Stand! but it was the high mark. Hated the 14-minute long Sex Machine.

Own this album because it's the #1 album on another "must have" list. And it really is great: melodic, lyrical, listenable. Highly recommend it. Found Rod's new 2021 album while loading up this one. Didn't need to add - already own.

Definitely a lot of fun. His live shows must have been insane - imagine a New Years Eve party with him. Prime Prima. Note: David Lee Roth's "Just a Gigolo" is a note-for-note, word-for-word, scat-for-scat copy of Louis Prima's original on this album.

Enjoyed it but I'm not a fan of metal (which I'm iffy about using to describe Metallica), so it wore out its welcome after half. Didn't add but didn't dislike.

30-years after it's release, and in the context of a George Floyd world, the album had more punch to me than it might have. A solid album. Really enjoyed listening to it, and really paying attention to the lyrics. Added.

As a kid, great album. Decades later, it sounds like the worst rock opera ever. Terrible lyrics. How did Paradise by the Dashboard Lights become such a massive hit? Didn't add.

Started strong but the pitchy, squeaky lead singing wore thin. A good album - certainly better than I expected since I dislike "Come on, Eileen". Glad I listened to it, but didn't add.

Was never a fan of psychedelic rock, and Pink Floyd isn't among my favourite bands. I enjoyed this, in general, and might listen again one day. Added, for that one day - whenever it is.

Never a fan as a teen, so I'd never heard the entire album. Oddly enough, my favourite song is the lengthy Camera Eye. The album is a solid rocker - didn't need to add, as it's already part of my music collection.

As an instrument album, this would have been fantastic. But once the vocals arrived, I started to hit FF. Didn't add. If it gets re-released without the vocals, it's a five.

Enjoyed it, though by the end it had become monotonous. Reminded me - slightly - of Lauren Hill's Miseducation. Listenable, but not re-listenable, at least not for a while. Added, to give it a second shot down the road.

I didn't dislike it. I didn't know what to expect. It had hints of Stevie Nicks and maybe influenced The Motels. Birdland was way, way, way waaaaay too long. Didn't add.

Added. Good album but not consistent. Worth another listen or two.

Unlistenable. I got to the third song, then started FFwd'g and listening to as much of each song as possible to see if I was wrong. Nope. Clearly, didn't add. Also, entire oeuvre is filled with meaningless edgy song titles.

Sounded like a group of friends jamming in the basement (because that's literally what it was). Thoroughly enjoyed it, musically & lyrically. Added.

Added with pleasure. Solid from end to end. Exactly the sort of album I'd expect on this list. Want to know why CCR is considered "classic rock"? Listen to this album.

Picked up steam as it progressed. Enjoyed it. Didn't add but glad I listened. Old school rap is always great.

If you've heard the song "Royals", you've heard this album. It's pretty unadventurous. She's not a bad writer, but there's no exploration of range or melody or rhythm. Didn't add.

Solid 60s psychedelic work. A pleasure to listen to. Worth reading the band's history, while you're listening: this was the first album with Grace Slick.

Like everyone else, most of my experience with Madonna came from the radio or TV. I'd never heard any of her non-single music until I listened to this album. And ya know, it wasn't bad. I actually enjoyed it, and really likes "Oh Father". I didn't even skip the songs I've heard thousand of times. Didn't add, but would listen again (and maybe explore more).

As a kid, Dylan's voice grated on my nerves. As adult, I figured if I could get used to Tom Perry's and Stevie Nick's voices, I could get used to Bob Dylan's. I was right and now able to concentrate on the music and not the delivery, I really enjoyed this album. Added.

Never heard the entire album. What a gorgeous piece of work. Loved "Praying for Time". Added without prejudice.

Loved it. Odd start moves on to something extraordinary. Has never listened to his music before - certainly glad to have been introduced to it.

The man was a music giant. He can't be accused of playing it safe or finding a niche. He was adventurous. He explored every genre, every rhythm. This short slice of his oeuvre is an example of just how broad was his talent. Added.

A Christmas albums go, this is solid. Well worth the listen. Fun from start to finish. Added.

I didn't listen to hip hop until recently so I'm late to the game. Really enjoying the 90s rap & hiphop scene. Enjoyed this album though by the last two songs, it was blending together. Great lyrics. Great propulsive beat. Added to my collection.

Punishing.

First time hearing the entire album. I should have heard it sooner. Added.

I can't get past Young's voice. I really tried. I'm sorry. Didn't add.

Maybe it's because I hadn't had a country album after 70 albums on this site. Maybe it's because it's barely half an hour of music and I could start a new album. Maybe it's because it's genuinely good. Maybe - definitely - it's all three. Added.

Endless. Thanks to every song being sung in falsetto (or at least, the upper range), it got tiresome pretty quick. Didn't hate but definitely not adding.

Interesting. Great use of the street-recorded spoken word. Great background music for creating.

Ya know, it was creepy in spots, sometimes a song went on too long - but it was enjoyable. Added to my collection.

Could not get into it. At all. Didn't add.

Warm & wonderful. Like old friends playing in a basement. I'm later to The Dead party by decades but love this. Added.

A lot of fun. Good background music. Didn't add, but recommend for a Friday evening.

Pioneers, sure. But this really sounded like some high school kids flailing away. Yikes. Didn't even think of adding.

Got through disc one. Real range of styles but wasn't enjoying enough to continue. The vocals were grating. Didn't add.

Every piece is unique, and while not for all tastes, her love songs are where she excels. "Come to Me" is gorgeous. Added, with pleasure.

Instead of listening to this - which is fine but frankly, I'm tired of it after decades - I listened to Give Em Enough Rope. This is still a worthwhile album, even though it's post-punk Clash.

Listenable. Totally listenable. Even preferable to Graceland, which I could hear endlessly. The man can compose music & lyrics. Added.

Enjoyed it. Reminded me of Margaret Sengata of Ipi Tombi.

Thankfully I was exposed to Led Zeppelin as a child, and not this. I had to drag myself through to the end. Mushy, breathy, monotonous. Didn't add (no kidding).

It's interesting. It's inventive. I got to number seven, though, and that was enough. Considered adding, but no.

So, so much more enjoyable & listenable then Mellon Collie. Solid, propulsive rock.

Not unenjoyable, but the influences of so many other musicians and groups was so heavy, it sounded like a tribute album. Beatles, ELO - even "Juxtaposed with U" was heavy with Elvis Costello. I couldn't get past the similarities on too many songs.

Cruise ship lower decks lounge music. At best.

Pretty all over the map, but mostly a chill vibe. Added.

Couldn't finish. Except for "Cut Dead", it was just an aural assault. Obviously, didn't add.

I didn't expect CSN, but the songs that hinted at that trio were the best on the album. Didn't add.

OMG what a morose album. "Remembering" did me in. Couldn't get passed it.

So, it's 1000 albums I need to hear, and this one tossed in. What a waste of time.

Solid album. Among The Who's best. Heard it so many times, though, I probably only caught half of it even though I played it end-to-end. Didn't add - already own.

I loved this album. The cover photo betrays the solid rock contained therein. Highly recommend if you enjoy classic rock. Added, with pleasure.

Loved this. Start to finish. Really entertaining, listenable. Added.

Got to "Yosemite", and could take no more. Album released mid-March 2021, and it mid-Feb 2022 - how is this on this list? It's lazy. It's breathy. It's boring. Is the website dev a fan? Didn't even think of adding.

Hearing full albums & not just the singles has really added to this 1001 journey. Not every Aerosmith song is a classic, but they're pretty consistent. Lyrically, always great.

Couldn't do it. So many other hip hop classic albums have really hooked me in, but this was just sample city, all over the map. Got to track 5 (Testify) then started skipping, looking for something. Didn't add.

I'd hate to find out this is their best. Monotonous. Dreary. Tuneless. Got as far as "Shellback" and started to FFWD. Brief redemption with "I Stole Your Car", but that was it. Didn't add.

I had heard of but had never listened to Jane's Addiction before today. So, I can honestly say I've tried listening. Didn't add but I'll check out "Ritual de lo Habitual" one day.

Tried it twice. Worse the second time. A movie score for an imaginary movie seems interesting in theory, but in practice? Nonsensical. Moreover, "themes" means something. Listening to Shiffrin's "Bullit", you'll hear a melody repeated throughout the score - it's the THEME. It's the musical thread we follow from scene-to-scene. In Moss Side Story, there is no theme and worse, there's no context. In "Bullit", you know what "Music to Interrogate By" is referring to. In "Moss Side", it's just random pieces poorly welded together. I listened to it twice, on consecutive days. Didn't enjoy, at all.

Good solid rock. That's it.

Heard of, but was unfamiliar with the music of Fairport. Really interesting work, a combo of traditional and original English folk tunes. Definitely worth a listen. Added and will explore more.

Shrill and annoying. Got seven seven songs in and that was enough. Yargh. Didn't add.

Fun but got to the end and realized I hadn't really listened to it. A little too background-y.

Good, but no Demon Days. Didn't add (and already own Demon Days).

So what I learned from this is that while Stevie is an unquestionably good composer, not every piece he writes is good. "Maybe Your Baby" was both horrendous & endless. Already own, but questioning that decision.

"Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit" background music. Got through most of it but didn't think of adding.

So uninspiring to me that I put it on for a second time - forgetting I'd already listened to it. Didn't add.

Unlistenable. Got half way through "Flight Tonight" and rage quit.

Music is great but all these years have passed, and Dylan's voice is still grating. I'd rather listen to cover versions. Didn't add.

On a par with a teen basement band.

Warm & wonderful. Wasn't bowled over by it, but thoroughly enjoyed listening.

Free form jazz, or jazz that sounds free form, isn't something I enjoy. The fourth and last track on the album was my favourite. Didn't add.

Well, it was fun. My punk tastes centre around The Sex Pistols are early The Clash. American punk tends to be fast & thrashy, and I just can't get into it. But this meandered between the two - particularly "TV Party". Didn't add but didn't dislike.

Bowie was insanely talented. Every song is unique. Every song could have been a single. He could compose. He could sing. He could perform. He was a full-stack musician.

Fun but inconsistent. Songs vary from entertaining (Prove My Love, Gone Daddy Done) to aggravating (Confessions, To the Kill). Didn't add since it's unlikely I'll ever give it another shot.

When I first heard this, a very long time ago, I loved it. But in my late fifties? For some reason it's lost its flavour. Still, added it to listen again another time.

Although I'm tired beyond words of "There She Goes", the rest of the album was really enjoyable. I added it, and will gladly listen to it again.

Neither heard, nor heard of, Portishead until it popped up here. Really, really enjoyed it. Melodic & lyrically (& trip hoppy...). Added all three albums to collection.

Listenable but dull. Never really grabbed me. And I've always disliked the song, "Money for Nothing", so there's that. Sorry, Mark. Didn't add.

Got to the fourth song, Debonair, and called it quits. Jesus was a grating album. Just loud, unmelodious shouting. Didn't add and not even remotely interested in listening to anything else they've done.

Like listening to a string of Bond theme songs which I'd never heard before. She's CLEARLY a stage singer - everything sounds Broadway. Didn't add - though I did listen to chunks of her other THREE DOZEN albums.

Well, that was enjoyable. Still not a fan, in general, but I like this album - probably because it was acoustic versions of their usual. But added, nevertheless.

High hopes. Wasn't awful but varied between tiresome & grating in some areas. "Useful Chamber" was terrible. I thought they'd accidentally mixed two songs together.

Hints of Kraftwerk and Daft Punk but mostly repetitive and droning. The Soft Season started strong and then... wow. Didn't hate but didn't add.

What a glorious album. Like most people, I was only familiar with the title track - which may have been overplayed at this point. But the rest of the album is perfect, track after track. Really worth your time. Added, with pleasure.

Enjoyable, and probably great as a quiet background soundtrack to dinner. But not something I'd listen to again. Didn't dislike but didn't add.

Not gonna lie: I simply enjoy Steely Dan. I wasn't familiar with most of this album but still worked for me. Lyrically, melodically it's good. Not their best but certainly worth the time addition to my collection.

Got better but still not my thing. Speed metal annoys me. Glad I heard Sabbath and Zeppelin as a kid. Didn't add.

I'm half-way through and it's a drag. Not awful but not my thing. Their hits are great but the secondary tracks just... aren't. Didn't add.

I can't relate to most of the album, but I listened to it end-to-end. Not my thing, though I didn't dislike it. The lyrics are brutal, but maybe that's the point here.

I have a thing for late sixties albums. I don't enjoy all of them, but I'm fully prepared to listen fully. This wasn't an awful album, but one song blended into the next. By the time it was through, I realized how unremarkable it was. The vocals are decent, lyrics good but I won't remember any of it in a couple of hours.

Solid album. Hadn't heard many of the songs, and glad I've heard them now. Thirty-three minutes packed with hard, awesome rock. Added! Will listen again & again (though I'm kinda tired of Jump...)

As a soundtrack, it's very good. As something to sit down and listen, it's better as background noise. Worth a listen, once. Didn't add.

As a kid, I loved this but 45-years later it's okay. For some reason - sentimentality? - the faux ads are still fun decades later. But the main tracks have lost their lustre.

Pleasant and entertaining but more background music to an evening with friends than a road trip soundtrack. Didn't dislike but didn't add.

His musicianship is undeniable, and it's a great album - but to really get the full effect, watch the 12-minute documentary that's included at the end of the streaming version (on iTunes) and you'll get more out of your listen.

It's like one long annoying song. Didn't enjoy so didn't add.

Breathtakingly awful. Shrill, tuneless and thoroughly unenjoyable. Among the worst albums I've heard on the 1001 list. I'm at sing six - "Where is My Mind" - and that's it. Don't even want to see if gets better. Do yourself a favour and hit the "Did not listen" button.

Never much of a fan of Davis, but this was nice. Smooth and worth multiple listens. Maybe it's the gateway album to more Miles. Added.

I enjoyed this. Really threw me back to junior high, when the band was just starting out. Inventive & fun. Added.

A great album but honestly, I've heard the songs so many times over the decades - especially in high school - that I wouldn't have sought the music out if not for this website. Still, it's well worth the listen and well worth adding to your collection.

The music is, in general, good. But it became monotonous to me. Also, I can't get past how obnoxious the Gallagher brothers are. Or Liam. I don't remember if it's one or both, but it flavours my listening.

Interesting but not close to Debut in listening pleasure. One frail sounding song after another. Didn't add.

Master of Reality is the bar by which I measure Sabbath albums. This was fun but too much Iommi in places and not enough Ozzy. Steaming of whom - does any hard rocker have a more perfect voice for his music?

Really enjoyable. I had no idea what to expect. What a treat. Seriously. I can't think of anything else to write. Added and going to explore his solo work, and The Walker Brothers.

Not going lie: I was totally disinterested in The Smiths because of Morrisey's (and by extension, The Smith's) rep for depression-centric music. And I only knew "How Soon Is Now", so my thoughts were flavoured with that. But wow was a surprised with "The Queen is Dead"! Lyrically, musically really interesting and inventive. I loved this album and have gladly added it to my collection.

"Important post-punk" album. Riiiiight. It's loud and annoying. On the bright side: it's only 35-minutes. Didn't add.

Great cleaning music or if you have a bongo fetish. Lots of fun, but the music Apple provided after the album ended was equally fun. A high 3 but didn't add.

Really enjoyable album. Very re-listenable. Not my usual style, maybe a bit light for me, but added.

I enjoyed this so much, I listened to it again immediately after my first play. Lyrically & melodically unique and adventurous. Totally enjoyed it, and have added this and two additional Eels albums (so far).

Two great albums in a row. This is perfect music for building furniture. It moves, it grooves. Highly recommended.

I've never found Santana's music to be interesting. His guitar player (on studio albums) doesn't seem as loose as say, SRV or Clapton, which is what I prefer. It's a decent album, but dull. Didn't add.

The Kinks have some great tunes, but I've never been a fan. Their music runs a fine line between solid rock and something Dr Demento might play.

Mediocre. I can't even remember what I was listening to.

Solid Mayfield. If you're picking an introductory album to his music, this would do it. Even as a young kid, I loved "Freddie's Dead", and I didn't understand the lyrics.

Certainly found this more entertaining than their (or should I say, Townsend's) later concept albums. A fun listen but not worth adding.

Solid album, filled with funk & soul.

New nothing about MSP. Hadn't even heard of them. Really enjoyed this album. Broad range of styles. Better for a road trip than chilling.

Like a lot of music, I'm late to RHCP party. Really enjoyed the funk/rock fusion, and added.

Gave it a shot. Couldn't get through it. Chicken Dog was the sole redeeming song. Just frantic. Didn't add.

I did not expect this gorgeous melodic treat. I loved this album. Added, with pleasure.

Hit & miss, all the way through. Started strong, disappeared into the background then I noticed how annoyed "Dory" made me feel. Ditto "Hold Still", which sounded creepy. Didn't add (or enjoy)

Released just after my 18th birthday - FOURTY YEARS AGO. But it feels like yesterday to me. A solid album, with great melodies and - as always - solid bass lines. Already part of my collection.

First and last Waits album I'll ever listen to. God awful.

I'd never listened to a Bob Marley album, and I'm glad my first was this one. What a glorious, gorgeous record. I'm going to play it every morning of my vacation next week. Added with pleasure.

For some reason, this album reminded me of the Billy Jack films of the seventies. White Light isn't awful, it's just dull and unadventurous. Clearly Gene Clark could compose; he just never explored anything but soft folky tunes. Didn't add.

Was a great album when it was released but holy crap - I can't listen to "Every Breath..." or "King of Pain" without feeling immediately annoyed. Didn't add, because frankly I'm tired of it.

Great album, great songs. Even as a kid, I enjoyed it and felt badly when Nilsson died. Already part of my collection.

Unrelenting shit. They have eight albums of this! "Hello Morning", the first song on the album, is ALL you need to hear of this band's entire catalogue.

While I've never been a fan of The Smiths, I really enjoyed this album. Morrisey's voice is pleasant, and lyrically and melodically, it's re-listenable.

Insufferable. Reached "Morning Bell" and had to kill it when the lead singer sounded like a whiny child in IKEA. If Radiohead appears on this list again, I may "Did not listen" for the first time.

A decent album, but not worth a re-listen. Patton's voice wears on you.

Unfamiliar with them. Started off great then went south quickly. Listened but don't remember. Orbital 2 is two albums away - hopefully better.

Loud and fun but not my thing. I can see why it’s popular.

If you allow it to disappear into the background, say, by revving your car engine or vacuuming, it’s not bad. Otherwise, it’s horrendously repetitive.

Headache inducing. The Apple Music bio is freakishly long for a group that released a single, unlistenable LP.

Really enjoyable album. Musically, Floyd; Lyrically (and vocally), Coldplay.

Solid rock, if unmelodious. Not something I’d listen to again, but not terrible.

Enjoyable, listenable and a good gateway into more Newman. Added.

Solid rocker from end-to-end. The album has a great early Stones' quality to it, like a basement jam session.

Gave it a shot. While I can endure falsetto generally, in this instance it became intolerable and reminded me of Mrs Miller. After the first two songs, I skipped around a bit, but didn't settle on anything that pulled me back in.

I'm pretty sure I've never heard Nick Cave before. I didn't dislike it but it got to be tiresome mid-way through. I didn't add it to my collection, but I'll probably give his other output a shot.

Thoroughly enjoyed this album. The vocals reminded me of Ladysmith Black Mombasa and the music reminded me of Los Lonely Boys. Great album, even without understanding the lyrics.

Good for one listen. Each song blended into the next, and after several songs, I realized I wasn’t really listening anymore.

I love this album. I think it's on a number of "Top" lists, and deservedly so.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Added.

The duets, which occurred in most of the songs, were emotionless and dragged. The female vocalist was great; the male vocalist was just dreary.

Torn. Realistically, the twangy guitar and vocals make NO songs instantly recognizable. However, the songs on this album don’t simply blend into one another despite these similarities. I didn’t live it, I didn’t hate it. I’ve added a revisit to my calendar.
