1001 Albums Summary

It sounds very nice when played on a good stereo! Brings back memories to when this CD was used to test my dad’s home made speakers. Can see my self playing this again late at night before bedtime as it is very mellow.

Classic rock with a progressive twist - I like it!

Quite enjoyable, although very typical of the time. Can see myself giving this a few more spins.

Nice production. I would not mind hearing some of these songs in isolation but I got very impatient halfway through the album - the songs are too similar to me. Everything’s not lost ends the album on a high note, so I guess it was worth listening through the whole album.

Another album unsuitable for listening on the road. On better equipment it transforms into a pleasant listen, for those moments where you just need to chill. So I will award it a pleasant score.

You outta know that that was the only song I was aware of having heard before. Out of the 12 songs, 5 were enjoyable (including that particular hit).

Not for me…

California Dreaming is among the greatest songs of all time. While no other song quite reaches that level there is enough to enjoy if you like vocal harmonies.

Pleasant voice. Not much variation, but served fine as chill background music. Better than anticipated.

Nice vibe. Had this running in the background while doing chores, and it made me forget how boring the chores were. Exceeded expectations!

Thought I might like this. Did not.

Ah, one of those albums from before they found the magical recipe. Nothing memorable, but I did like some of the songs. Torn between 2 big stars or 3 small stars.

The first couple of songs had me intrigued with the upbeat brass and percussion arrangements - but I found the entire album too much of the same thing. And that was even before the songs 13-17 that were bonus songs for the CD version…

Reasonably pleasant listen. Probably not gonna listen to it again.

Not my kind of jazz.

Not for me at all

A couple great songs. Rest is pretty meh.

This is surprisingly good! Especially the first half of the album is right up my alley.

WTF??? It’ got a nice funky vibe and actual melodies. Especially the second half of this double album contributes to this album getting a score from me that I never thought I would bestow on a hip-hop album. Well done!

Perfect as background music.

America and Mrs. Robinson are epic bangers! The rest is not too shabby either, although a few tracks are pretty weird. A solid 3 and I should check out more of their work.

Not nearly as good as the other album on the 1001 list. Slightly disappointed.

A classic!

The first half of this album is all killers. The second half mostly fillers. 4 small stars because of the strengths of the first half.

First thought was it sounded rather generic. But it won me over, would have loved to hear this stuff live.

There is Sabotage, an absolute killer. Then there’s some nice funky/jazzy instrumentals, where did they come from? Then there’s a collection of mashups between sample based hiphop, the jazz/funk from the instrumentals and the noise rock of Sabotage - not all of them sitting right with me. 2 stars? 3 stars? 2 stars.

Ok, but not something I Will listen to again.

This is the good stuff.
