1001 Albums Summary

Cool stuff but reggae vibe is too monotonous for me

Cool

Funky drum loops cool Songwriting sometimes unmemorable and long winded Some good hooks Great voice Very soulful

Great tunes, harrowing war song, lovely hooks, dreamy voice

Boring, not dynamic enough. Timid atmosphere is cute but doesn't hold its own for the entire runtime.

Exceptional lyrics, nice songs. I really want to like Dylan, but I can't get past his vocal timbre and delivery.

Great drum loops, cool bass lines. Works well if you get lost in the repetition, not so well if you're too actively focusing on it.

I can appreciate the soundscapes the band creates with the guitar effects, drum loops and bass lines, though none of the songs really stick.

Fun as hell

Cool record, great production. Unfortunately held back by its length and monotonous tempo choices.

Splendid. Love the moody songs, production and varied songwriting. Will come back to this.

Something about the sleazyness of it all annoys me to hell.

Excellent riffage. If not for Mustaine's vocals, I might have actually liked this band. That blues cut in the back end is weird as hell.

Nothing crazy songwriting wise, but definitely a fun listen with some good tunes

Rock and roll.

Excellent.

There are albums in this book that make you appreciate other albums.

Starts out fun, but drags on. Monotonous, overstretched songs.

Meh

love it. love stipe's voice, love the songs, love it.

Weird, kinda fun but not memorable

Cool tunes, not loving using voice still

Great piano playing, not quite engaging enough for me

Some songs great, some songs just okay

The wrong Elvis

Nice singles, boring as fuck otherwise

Can't handle his voice, also wtf those racist lyrics in "Rednecks" ???

Classic

Fantastic songs, great guitar work, I love the production and sounds.

Not bad just not my jam

Old people music

Band sounds cool but his voice

So much swagger, so much arrogance, so much fun

Didn't expect to be so bored by this

Vocals and monotonous songwriting ruin it for me

Guitar sounds are great, bass as well. I appreciate the thematic sounds in the production (the car sounds indicating a journey of some kind). I don't connect with the lyrics at all. They actively make me want to vomit and turn the record off. So that's what I did.

I appreciate the production and I love the sound of her voice on this record. The songs are nice enough, though I don't think I will be coming back to this one because of the strong disconnect I feel with the lyrical themes.

Lovely to hear a legend like him in what seems to sound like his prime. Much charismatic talk in between that slows it down a little too much, but a fun record nevertheless.

Harmless; but also, nothing memorable.

Vocals throw me off. Guitar work is cool.

Couldn't be anything else than a five. Sometimes horrible but truly iconic vocals, fantastic songs and some greater-than-the-original covers.

The goofy vocals are.. goofy - but the beats and samples are so fantastic. The record is weighed down a bit by filler tracks and skits that don't always land, but in general, I had a good time with this album.

Opens with a great drive to it - really feels like a ride. Slows down a bit with some nice emo and shoegazey elements which I don't mind at all. From there, I can't help but feel like it drags on a little bit too much...

Great. Will come back to this 100%. Lovely tunes, a great voice and thoroughly enjoyable instrumental breaks that are written with care.

Okay, but it didn't make me feel anything

punk rock 👍

The hits are the hits, the rest doesn't do anything for me.

A chaotic though reasonably enjoyable collection of what essentially feels like background music.

Well, it's ska... but also kinda catchy...

HEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Quite bland. Not bad, just totally... okay.

The album cover had me excited. Music was alright.

Looks like a rock and roll. Sounds like rock and roll. Must be rock and roll.

Fun to finally sit down for a full record from a big name. Great even though it kind of sounds monotonous, it shines in that monotony. Awesome energy.

Cool

weird but in a good way the album has a certain dreamlike quality to it like a fever dream - which i greatly enjoy. i think the female vocalist has a great sounding voice, sounding like she has a lot of fun in what she's doing. very energetic, infectious. and the guy screaming things that seem kind of random just totally fits into the whole image

Looks like a drug induced mess, sounds like a drug induced mess

Cool!

Plenty of great sounds and compositions to hear, though not all equally catchy, still really enjoyable

Fun, dusty garage-punk - though not all that memorable

Bonnie's voice is coaxing enough, but I can't connect enough to the rest of the material

Not Steely Dan, but still solid fun

Fantastic collection and performance of great, soulful, bluesy songs

Instant five star

Beautiful, chaotic, wild

Great tones, great riffs, great mix

So repetitive ..... not sure how to get into the trance of it, but I keep feeling intrigued by it.

Absolutely beautiful, the horns, the rhythms, the tunes

I've only ever heard this guy being referred to as an absolute legend. In light of that, this was.. whelming.

5 starts for homework music, 2 stars for active listening

Five stars for the atmosphere and production. There's honestly not many hooks that stick with me, but it simply doesn't matter on this record.

Some truly haunting and beautiful stuff on here. The rest is okay.

Sleazy in the most enjoyable way

Interesting to hear, though repetitive and not that ejoyable after the novelty wears off

The slower songs are great.

Homophobic, misogynistic, insane, funny, charismatic, worrying, bipolar. Barring all the insane shit, it's a great record. If you can let go a little.

Simplistic enough, though it doesn't grab me
