1001 Albums Summary

As sonic wallpaper while I worked it was fine, but I don't know why someone would deliberately sit down and listen to this.

A bona-fide classic.

I'll be honest, I had very low expectations, and half of this album met those on the nose. But once we got past the usual misogynistic dross, there were a few tunes in here that I kind of enjoyed - Super Rich Kids had me humming along, Bad Religion I liked. Enough to come back to it? I doubt it, but I don't regret listening.

Admittedly Malian blues funk isn’t usually high on my list of dog walk listening material, but good work lads

As a child of the 90s, Nirvana is in my wheelhouse, but I think this is the first time I’ve listened to In Utero end to end. It’s… fine?

Pleasant enough for a Sunday afternoon

Meh. Didn't hate it but not likely to be coming back

Just give me this one every day and we’ll call it quits yeah?

It feels a bit like cheating when you get an album that you already know well, but don't mind this one bit. I can see it might not be everybody's taste though, and perhaps it needed a couple more upbeat tracks to round it off.

Good rock'n'roll

Meh

This is already in my music downloads on my phone, because it’s a classic

Nice

Liz Phair, dearly beloved of mid 90s music press, but somehow passed me by. To my great regret, because I really enjoyed this

Bonus point for the relief I felt when I realised it wasn’t Limp Bizkit

Ignore the snobs. Pop greatness.

Fine as sonic wallpaper

If it was my sort of thing I’d probably love it, but it’s not so I don’t

Yeah... no. This is of a time that I think is best forgotten. On the plus side, it's only 33 minutes long.

As someone who thinks Surrender is one of the best pop songs ever written, this has long been on my "to listen" list. Sadly I have to agree with many of the other reviewers, I don't think I've really missed out. Other than Surrender it's pretty vanilla rock'n'roll.

I'll take it

Not my jam, but let's not pretend that if this was Radiohead you wouldn't be calling it the best album ever.

Nice, but I don't think I'd make a point of listening to it

Being of an age to have seen RFTC live at Reading in '96, this has a certain nostalgia for me. It does fairly rock along too, although it's not the most sophisticated music going, and the well-known songs (On A Rope, Born In '69) are probably the highlights.

Jay-Z has a small winky, pass it on. As it happens, I was going to skip this but in the spirit of the project I ploughed on fully expecting to hate it, but ... I didn't. The music production is great, a rap record where I don't just think every song sounds the same. But, ffs guys, let's find something else to talk about than h*es and n*ggas?
