1001 Albums Summary

Love this - some jazzy funk jams.

A little too happy/bouncy for me, until the last two songs. I guess I prefer my big beat kind of dark and angry. I actually thought Fatboy Slim was the only big beat producer until I read the wiki yesterday. Also filed under TIL - the origin of "big beat" and that they removed the large American on the album for the American audience lol.

Still have never seen a javelina, besides zoos. I daresay a perfect album?

Maybe i need more listens or have to see the musical or something. Not feeling this.

This whole album seems to be at the same frequency as my tinnitus. Seemed to get better after a few listens. Cool solos with weird sounds.

Way less cheesy than I expected with pants like that. Rocked pretty hard.

This is not my thing. Apparently the only country I like is outlaw country.

Solid album, I had only heard the hits before. Has anything bad ever come out of Wesleyan?

'80s childhood trauma vibes

This is awesome 🔥🔥

a begrudging 5 stars

This is a gem I'd never heard of.

Make it stop.

Never heard this full album before, only the hits from it on The Ultimate Experience greatest hits. Some of the tracks on here seem kind of random, but the rest are 🔥🔥

Not everything from the '80s needs to brought back. Sometimes what happened in the '80s should stay in the '80s.

Maybe I need more listens, but not feeling this one. Bowie has some gems (Space Oddity), but in general is pretty painful to listen to for me.

Never heard of them before. They sound exactly like the Beatles (in a good way) to me. Good stuff.

Thought I liked Mingus, but this is a little chaotic/random for me. Feels like some kind of big band free jazz and I've always struggled to get into most free jazz. But it has some nice "noir" moments, evoking alcoholic detectives trudging down rainy alleyways. Must explore Mingus more - it's possible I'd only heard his early stuff.

Never really heard Patti Smith before, but I'm feeling this.
