1001 Albums Summary

feels dated. kind of novelty song vibe. some of it is fun, some is a bit much. would probably be fun as hell live. I can't see listening to this album again, but I would definitely put a couple of songs on a playlist.

Never heard of this band at all. Sixties, James Bond-ish vibe. I’d listen to this again.

So good. I need to listen to more Nina Simone.

From 1971. I know that this is a classic influential album but I have never listened to it. I’m familar with later Parliament-Funkadelic, but never listened to the earlier Funkadelic incarnation. Never heard this on top 40 radio, nor was this ever played on late-70s AOR. I like this a lot! Sound is more slow-bluesy than I was expecting. Just solidly fits in with the 70s funk that I am familiar with. Opening track is amazing. Closing track is … challenging.

Started strong — i liked the first few songs a lot but my interest flagged toward the end. I might re-listen to some of the songs.

I like some ambient and don’t hate techno, but this is not working for me. Songs are either forgettable or annoying. Too distracting to be background music, but too annoying to listen to in the foreground.

Love the hits — Le Freak and I Want Your Love, but found the rest a bit dull.

How do you review the Beatles? Their songs are like air, or water. They are just there. I’ll give this a 4 because there are other Beatles albums I like better, but this still sounds enjoyable and fresh, 61 years later!

On first listen I like it but don’t love it. Love the synthy electronic style and the production but the songs themselves aren’t very interesting.
