1001 Albums Summary

Eh. Nice to listen to, but going out of the experience, I cannot remember a single track.

Decent. Favourite tracks include, 'Last Night I Dreamt (That Somebody Loved Me)'. Morrisey's vocals got annoying after a while. A short, no doubt well produced body of work, but I could not really connect with it on the most part.

I am not really a great lover of this type of music. The country twang is at times off putting. It is pleasant record overall, and I shall probably revisit the first couple of tracks sometime. I cannot see myself revisiting this in full in the future however.

Great riffs and heavy sound. Shall definitely be coming back to this. The drumming is wonderful also.

The vocals are really pleasing on this. This is my first introduction to African style music. Pleasantly surprised. Shall definitely revisit sometime.

At times it is enjoyable, but it is a forgettable project on the whole. There are small elements of brilliance here, but I cannot see myself revisiting this again. There are simply better records in this genre, of which possess more character.

Somehow both ELPs biggest strength and weakness is their technical virtuosity. While, it undoubtedly displays some of the best examples of instrumental skill around, the record often shows it self to be series of incohesive warm up exercises. I would say the same about most of ELPs catalogue to be honest, although I absolutely think this is the strongest of the bunch besides Brain Salad Surgery. I can understand its place in the list, given it is perfect evidence of just how incredible musicians could be back in the 60s and 70s, but the song writing could really do with some work.

Beautifully disturbing.

Outstanding.

Absolute pish. Grew incredibly tired of the constant forced angst this record seemed to present very quickly. There is only a number of times I can hear a man shout 'F*ck that sh*t' before I start pull out my own eyelashes in frustration.

Addictive riffs.
