When it is good, it is excellent but too many weaker tracks take away from the album. If this had been on vinyl they would have to have edited down to 10 or 11 tracks. This would improve it a lot.

Classic album that arguably changed the music world forever. It is an album that you can revisit again and again. .
It is brilliant but not their greatest for me. Musically i think many songs lack the sophistication of other albums: Rubber Soul, White Album, abbey Rd, Revolver.
Still head and shoulders above the majority of this list and features one of my all time favourites: A Day in The Life

3.4/5 so I will give it the 3
Easy listening no one offended. 70s soft rock or AOR. "reeling in the years" and "do it again" the highlights
Glad I heard it but just don't feel after this solid days listening that I will return to it or seek out more Steely Dan. Can't empathise with anything in the lyrics.
The cover is an abomination. 1/5

Interesting one. It sounds like a few guys who have just heard velvet underground, and are bluffing their way to record an album. It doesn't match VU or Doors by a long way.
We will fall: What were they thinking. pretentious gobbledeygook. John Cale influence and as one reviewer called it - padding.
Lyrically these fellows didnt stretch themselves!!! Listening to some of their other stuff I'm not sure they had the ability.
However all said, it is ahead of it's time and inspired alot of music I love. Great idea but very weak in parts.
Cover art: generic atyle photo but it expresses some tension. Like the band logo. 2/5

It has dated quite a bit. It is too long at over 60 mins and they were stretching it to release 7 singles.

Saw DIV live back in the day. A musician friend had to leave, he was worried about permanently damaging his hearing. it was a great gig. Couldn't believe how many people were on stage.
The idea of a guest vocalist was pretty original when it was released. Nowadays every other tune seems to be doing some type of collaboration. These were not driven by marketing and sales but by finding the voice/character/mood to match the song.
Iggy pop absolutely nails Aisha. On the next album Paul Weller and Liam Gallagher create works they never would have on their own and equal to their best.

It starts and ends excellently. Admittedly had been worried. 2 Brian Eno produced records in a row doesn’t seem like the 1000 best albums. however by song two it descended into farce. It’s an ep at best. Did no one have an editor back then.
Parts of ‘Here come the warm jets’ is so far ahead of its time. It could be to La Tengo.

Is Happy Hawaii a repeat of Why does it have to be me? Feels like the album is a bit stretched.
Aside from that it’s a 5. Anyone who grew up in the 70s cannot deny ABBA was a dominant force and influences all pop to this day. It holds its head above much of the genre produced since. Forgotten this was 1976.

Feel guilty having given prince a 5 star for an album with 4 hits but a few fillers. Admittedly open and closing track on purple rain are stonking.

I am a huge Bowie fan. And he deserves a rake of albums in the 1001 list. However, he does not deserve automatic entry just because he released an album in 2014. I think entries like this do a disservice to the list and new artists, there are artists who remain relevant in old age, but he wasn’t one of them and that wasn’t a problem because he was a genius at his height
PS this is his worst album cover

Absolute classic. I don’t think there is value comparing Document, life’s rich patent and automatic for the people, each are classics. It often just depends on at what point you discovered REM. For me I’d heard document and saw them live. But the album I bought was Green. Truly transformative.
Love everything they’ve ever done. Right up to the end they produced classic contemporary and challenging music.
Green is a proper album. Nothing out of place and every track worth another listen. Head and shoulders above most of this 1001 journey. All topped off with an iconic cover.

Followed a reviewer advice. Started at track 4 and then returned to the beginning. It probably worked to a point. Maybe even an extra star.
Difficult to ignore the 2 mammoth hits. Bonus for an iconic cover too.

900 albums until I reached one of the finest of them all.
Much has been written already. 2 additional reasons to make this one of the all time best.
1. The first time I heard side 2 of this album was on the radio in 80s. I was blown away.
2. You must watch Get Back. Apart from brilliant tvo, they compose most of this album too

Unbelievable 2 stonking classics in a row. (Abbey Road yesterday) I’m on the last 100 so maybe this is where the good stuff is hidden.

I was sceptical. Especially based by a double hour and special edition recording. I immediately suspected that the double album was result of the special edition rather than the original, to be honest I didn’t bother researching more. The end pleasantly surprised not all brilliant, but it’s better than the bad week I’ve been having so I’m gonna give them four stars even though really it’s a tree.
