1001 Albums Summary

The first album I remember owning "buying". One of my first days in Anchorage as a kid, my mom and I went to the mall and I picked up a walkman and this CD and fell in love forever. I own it on vinyl and I think I'll play it today (3/6/23).

I think I've tried several times to get into this record through the years... I definitely don't dislike it, but to me, there's very little glue holding the whole thing together. That being said, 'Frontier Psychiatrist' is a certified ripper.

The hits hit, and most of the others miss... For me, anyway.

I was admittedly not into the album at first... I've only ever been familiar with Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (who hasn't seen that album cover at least once?). Was walking in the rain while listening and it just started to make sense to me. Notable tracks - 'Buggin', 'The Gash', and 'Sleeping On the Roof'. I'll definitely be listening again! This album made me finally understand the brilliance woven into the fabric of this album.

Could see myself putting this album on again. This album definitely didn't need to be over and for long... Come on. Vocals sounded like a call back to early post-punk U2, while some songs sounded like the boring tracks off of U2's 'Joshua Tree'.

Boy, did I enjoy the hell out of this album... I've heard the hits over the years as the husband of a self-proclaimed "Swiftie", but the deeper cuts were almost as great, if not better.

Not in the mood for it but I can acknowledge and appreciate its place.

Never been into Hendrix. This playthrough did remind me that he was a shredder but I'm not much for blues rock and the drums always bothered me...

Not really into this 😬 'Don't Dream It's Over' is an undeniably great 80's song, and 'Something So Strong' was another hit by Crowded House hot on its heels. Sorry, Crowded House... I love you, but this album ain't it, dog.

Love the clarity and punchiness of the hi-hat, bass drum, and snare. Great production overall. I've got a couple J5 CDs tucked away but this one slipped past my radar; really pleased with Power In Numbers.

Enjoyable!

I grew up with a good grip of these songs by way of the greatest hits CD being played during my childhood. I'll happily take any excuse to hear Stewart Copeland play the drums!

LOVE THIS. I've listened to this album before but I enjoyed it more this time around.

Boooo.

Am I crazy to suggest that I hear some Dead Kennedy's influence in this? Vocally on some tracks, and a little East Bay Ray spice, elsewhere. Black & white cover with yellow font...

Straight forward Fagen, not great and not horrible... 🤷

Huge Kendrick fan, since his early EPs & mixtapes.

Ramones inspired riffs (some are straight up lifted), but fun songs, nonetheless.

Love how much the bass stands out in the recording... First time playing this all the way through and wish I'd done it sooner.
