1001 Albums Summary

I thought the album was excellent - very punk-y, significantly less polished than some of their hits, but also obviously exceptional.

Really immersive and powerful. Not my favourite, and that might just be because I am not a huge Mingus fan, but the skill is obvious.

Fantastic. One week track I thought.

Fantastic. I really loved this one.

Very good, though you can tell they were still trying to decide who they were (or maybe who Dave Grohl was). First half of the album is pop, second punk. Still great.

A little uneven, but at its best it is excellent.

Fabulous. Totally new to me and incredible

Holy crap! Just brilliant.

I hate the song Bridge over troubled water but the album overall was excellent otherwise.

So great. I had never heard this before but I agree with the Apple music discussion that it is weird, hard to categorize, and wonderful

i thought this album was pretty dated. Very good example of a particular moment in time

Very good, unsurprisingly. But the best songs on album are the ones that have become hits and part of the Jackson mythos

i liked it but hate freebird

Just so great.

Very innovative, with some wonderful tracks. A little dated now (which is fair for an album more than 40 years old)

I realize now that I foolishly expected this album to be much more rock and roll (as with Saturday night is alright) when that was the outlier and it is much more overproduced singer songwriter (as in candle in the wind)

I get that he is a genius but except for a handful of songs I just don't really like his oeuvre

Fantastic. Turned me on to the band as a whole.

Very interesting. I enjoyed it for sure, and it is hard to place (which I like about it). Apple Music calls it "rock," but it is certainly not that.

Iconic.

Shockingly good. I really thought I would hate it.

Loved it. More choral than I expected, but great

Could not get past the second song - just not for me

Haha could not get through the first song. Just really not my style at all

Loved this album, especially at is most political.

Fantastic and stands up well despite being almost 30 years old

Brilliant! I had no clue how good the album was as a whole, having only heard there is a season.

A bit underwhelming.

Quite good, and totally new to me

Predictably brilliant

Pretty great, though listening to it all at once highlights the limits of Young's approach too.

A little uneven but generally wonderful

Magisterial.

Better than I would have expected, but not brilliant.

Very good, even if it is not my usual cup of tea. Perfect to work to

Fascinating - so blue and weird, but very evocative of Jacques Brel

I had never listened to Kings of Leon before, and they were very different than I was expecting. But this album is great - I really enjoyed it.
