1001 Albums Summary

Well, I liked it. I think Neil Young is hard for me to listen to objectively, because so many folks think he's great. I had two "next song" moments, which is relatively low for a full album listen. Neil's distinct voice is what stays with me.

Well, to listen to the entire album was an act of discipline. With a few exceptions, the whole thing sounds like nondescript 80s pop, which maybe is a sign at how successful it was/is? Anyway, I would not choose to listen to this album.

Well, what an album. What a performer. Some gritty themes that increasingly... don't so much offend as carry no value for my ear and listening time. The harmony is Jackson is second to none. Two voices, dancing the eternal dance. Give My Love to Rose is another favorite, which I first listened to from the American Recording production (when Johnny was a few years from death). His voice at Folsom prison is younger, obviously. I'd never noticed Greystone Chapel before, written by an inmate at Folsom.

I was so very excited based on the album cover and name. Maybe a song in I forgot I was listening, and didn't notice when the album ended and Niel Young came on.

Hendrix is a legend, and hard to offer any original commentary on. I haven't ever owned his albums, and I don't really put Hendrix on and let it roll as much as pick out iconic songs and performances.

Loved it. Forgot I was listening and didn't notice when Youtube moved on to similar music.

I didn't even finish War Pigs. Not on purpose, but I got busy and forgot to come back.

Loved it. Rock on DP!

It was good!

Well hot dang that was fun. The answer to the question: What if Jim Morrison was a woman?

I did not like it. I did not like it at the beginning. I didn't like it in the middle. I didn't reach the end. This album probably did something for someone, but it sounded like utterly indistinguishable 90's grunge/alt mashed together.

It was good. I like the name Crazy Horse. Neil Young is growing on me. Maybe because I think he's supposed to grow on me.

"Every time you do it again you lose something" - said of retakes in the studio Pure wisdom. Pure gold in music form.

Hello again, Neil. I already said what I had to say about you.

A little heavy on smoking crack references for my tastes...

I liked it.

So much rock. So indistinguishable. I thought I had listened to it all.

Fun! Will listen again. Favorited one track. [insert articulate reasons why]

Beastie Boys. Rick Rubin. Blah blah changed the world. Would not choose to listen to where it all started, if this is it.

Didn't finish the listen.

Oh the memories this album brings. I listened to it on repeat while playing Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Gamegear. I didn't bother listening again, but I'll give the album 4 stars.

Well, I have to say it's remarkable how virtually every postrock album ever (spanning decades, evidenced by the album at hand) manages to deliver this very specific experience: • oh wow what a title/bandname! Clearly master poets at work. • yes, the jams are good (approx t=40 seconds in) • wait, am I still listening to music? where am I? (approx t=somewhere between 40 seconds and 40 minutes in). • looks at the title/bandname, and laments that the music isn't as poetic (not strictly in the literal sense, but in the artistic balance sense) as the labelling attached to it. I'm a postrock fan, but maybe not for the music. I can't say I understand it, either.

Iron Maiden!!

Partially listened. Here's my vote against "three words constitute a song's worth of lyrics" in general, and especially when one of those lyrics is sh#t.

I listened all the way through, and I didn't feel bored once. That's the gold standard.

Eh, I listened to some of it.

Good music! Oh, it's about dysfunctional relationships? All of it? Still good music!

This is not the Brian Eno I listen to. I was expecting a sort of Dan Caine / Hans Zimmer mix.

I kinda listened. 3 stars because it's ELO. 3 stars because I didn't feel like finishing.

Sublime.

I thumbed up the album within 10 seconds. All of it wasn't as good as the first 10 seconds, but wow, those first ten seconds...

Solid meh.
