1001 Albums Summary

A worthy member of any greatest albums ever list

Really pleasant listen even if none of the individual songs really stood out to me. The overall album experience was lovely.

Amazing recoding. Can place each of the two people in the crowd when they clap. But not the music for me

Bit bland for my tastes

Something had to be the inspiration for all the famous dad rock out there. Didn't do it for me but they have their sound and this probably came out exactly how they wanted

That was brilliant. So much joy and diversity in each song. The liberal use of horn sections was *chef's kiss*

Title track is genius. The rest is very good but not as good

Besides Sledgehammer this is all a bit too epic for epics sake. I don't really get it

Urg. I'm so tired of this album, the song choices are interesting and the execution is fine but I don't get how it is seminal in any way

Glorious 80s pop. Great listen

I never listen to this but when I hear it I recognise vast swaths of things I do listen to regularly

Vastly better and more fun than most of the bands liked into britpop.

Got it on the wrong day. At the right time is a brilliant slab of deep dance classics with a few more layers than the usual dance / electro fare

I loved that slab of weird. Even through all the weird it still grooves and is easily accessible

Very fun listen

Couldn't listen to it too often but it's brilliant mood matching music

Not for me

The hits are huge but there are parts that get a bit too repititive to make the whole album infinitly listenable

Good nostalgia listen. Gets a bit repetitive, hasn't aged as well as sold albums on this list

Wow. Never knew that was the album cover for this album. It's a great album lots to sing along to

Pretty average radio rock

Brilliant! Barely aged in all this time

Really hasn't aged at all

Lovely background grooves. Put it in and only noticed it was over when it was done. Fitted my work day perfectly

Not my favourite of theirs but really gets that angsty feeling and atmosphere just right

Fun songs are very fun others a bit sickly sweet. It is what they were going for but not what I like

The most middle of the road thing almost ever but yeah pleasant

Formative album for me

Interesting but I don't I'll ever listen to it again

Can hear their influence on so many things to follow but just this is so very not for me

Undeniable energy wants to get up and turn the stereo louder itself

I'm sure this sounds exactly how they intended it to. I find some pieces that I really enjoyed the strangeness and could see myself giving it another listen when I'm in the mood for a serious appreciation session. But as background, going about your day music it was not a hit with me

The classic made for TV adverts album 😄 I really used to enjoy it but am suffering from over exposure now

Not my vibe

Good songs are great. The rest not so much

That was a pleasure to listen to. So nice to branch out on Beck
