1001 Albums Summary

Actually own this album. Totally unappreciated album and band...

Easily one of the greatest rock albums of all time. A must have for any road trip

Absolutely classic, Mark Knopfler is an underrated genius!

Totally new to me. Rather enjoyed it!

Not my cup of tea. More of a Hip Hop person...

One of the most defining metal albums ever made. It’s one of the few metal albums I would recommend to any music lover. It's so relevant, influential, and essential that it's in the Library of Congress!

Absolutely essential hip hop. You might be a fool if you’ve not listened to this album in its entirety.

I think this is a generational thing but not my cup of tea. The lyrics are fine and all (well written and they do make a point), the music itself just doesn't hit any chords with me.

Old school German Electronic, I like the track Metal on Metal, but over all, this is before my time / generation. THis album over all sounds like Sprockets from SNL!

Absolutely essential listening! When folks talk about the great americana bands, Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Young) are at the top of that list. Socially relevant, melodic, and superb harmony!

I mean come on, it's the the Beatles...

I'm usually not into country music (especially pop country, makes my ears bleed) unless we're talking Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings (outlaw, storytelling country) or George Strait, Randy Travis and even Garth Brooks if the air is just right. But this album is not bad. It becomes a little slow and monotonous with little uptempo, but the lyrics are great. This is a great feeling sorry for yourself with a bottle of your favorite dizzy water. Overall, a good country album!

A great classic early 80's piece of pop synth. However, IMO, you can hear the begining of the end of The Police in this album (angst of the lyrics and nervous / agressive style). I'm more likely to put in Reggatta de Blanc or Zenyatta Mondatta. In any case, a must have in any 80's vinyl collection along with the entire catalog.
