1001 Albums Summary

My parents were right about his voice, he sounds like Mr. Burns. Can't imagine seeing him in concert now that he's 80-something. Didn't like the more whimsical stuff but might be easier on a second listen. Too dense with metaphors. Album really picked up at song 3. I identified at least to a point with most songs, esp. 3-8, but Just Like A Woman feels so much like me and Kitty. I Want You feels like me and Violet. Album got a little weaker after track 8 for me but still alright. Like the ending track (14). How the hell was THIS too hard rock for people, folk fans were WIMPS

Album #2 glad to have a short album after 75 minutes of bob dylan yesterday. i feel like on a different day i'd like this more, take me out burned its way into my brain when i was little and the album's gayer than i expected, but i'm just not feeling it today, you know? so i'm waffling between 3 and 4 stars. i wish there was a 3.5 rating. i just don't get why this album's HERE. take me out is a great single and the album's not BAD, but was it historically important? people keep talking about "is this it" so this isn't the only post-punk album on the list. maybe if i was there in 2004 it'd be clearer. if i was a teen girl i'd probably give this a 5, the lyrics feel like pop punk even if the instruments don't quite. it'd also be a great soundtrack. someone else said all the songs are pretty similar (i know i shouldn't have looked up someone else's reviews before finishing my own but sue me). i agree and it's a change from blonde on blonde where even if some of them SOUNDED similar, the themes were different enough to make them distinct. here, if you listen to take me out, michael and dark of the matinee you might want the rest, but do you NEED the rest?

yes sir, this rage and good music but for my people please, thank you

this is what i expected classic rock to sound like, none of this folksy crap

very soothing
