1001 Albums Summary

So much funky guitar on the first few, could listen to those forever. The ballads weren't my jam

Of the various shimmery indie pop albums from this time period, this is the one I can still fluff with. Used to listen to it on planes to keep myself chill

Holds up, still a great listen with some bangers in here.

I mean I guess I could listen to this. It was interesting but I was ready to be done with it after the second song. None of them really did it for me

Forever album. Could listen to on any Sunday lazy morning. Her voice gets me every time

Love it. Forgot how much fun guitar is in here too

Did not realize who this was. Great album start to finish

Talk about a band thats gotten overshadowed by their lead singer being a jag. I can barely listen to this stuff now since it all seems so navel gazey and ridiculous. The only saving grace for them is the new guitarist that's playing for them now.

I've had this album since early college and have never listened all the way through. I know it's a seminal record and all that but it just never does anything for me.

Not for me - I didn't listen to a one song all the way through and was never a fan of the whole skit thing.

Very hackers soundtrack esque, good listening

I would have loved this in high school if I had this on cd. It's a little weird and off kilter. Was a huge fan of the ones since that ended up on the radio. Not something I'd listen to a ton now but outside of the right place and time

This was a really surprising love. I feel like a number of bands I enjoy would count John as an influence. James Blake and Bon Iver come to mind from singing style. The guitar playing is lovely and intricate and I could listen on repeat.

Skipped. Cannot with this album. Maybe never again.

I was surprised that I liked this to be honest. I'm not typically a fan of the talking heads, it's all a little too 80s on the nose for me but this - with its global influences - was an enjoyable listen

This was okay. Not my fave Amy and some of these gave weird vibes. The October one was good but the slow ones - meh.

Meh. I get why this is here but its not for me. It just feels overwrought and of a specific time.

This was boring. I tried but it did not capture my attention at all and a day after I can remember nothing other than being slightly annoyed. No thanks.

Dug it for the guitar. Not much else

Classic.

Oh look at that, the internet confirmed that this dude is exactly what he looks like in the album cover. Listened until nobody girl and then realized what a twat this dude is. No thanks.

It's...fine. I flipped through several and the lyrics. Nothing really made me want to listen to them again. It falls in the 'background music' category for me. Things that could be on at a coffee shop and I'd be like, oh that's nice they're playing Dylan and then continue back to the conversation I'm having. This one just doesn't do much for me.

Doubled up on Dylan this round so maybe I'm just already primed to not like this but this was even worse than the blood on the tracks one to me. Just...bored out of my mind trying to listen to it.

This just makes me tired it's trying so hard to be important.

Well this is just way too much. No thanks.

Wow - this is beautiful, layered, and interesting. Excited to find this

Fuck this guy.

Another that just faded into the background. Nothing too offensive to turn it off but also nothing that really stuck out. Like buck owens, I could easily listen to this in the background of the right place without even flinching. Gets a 3 cause I would willingly listen again

Surprised at how long I listened to this

Too much of that time period

It's fine for what it is. Can only take about one song though before I'm ready to switch
