1001 Albums Summary

Already knew: Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence. Enjoyed: Policy of Truth, Clean, Dangeroys Enjoying the back half of this album more than the front, which is fairly rare.

Ok. Pinball Wizard rocks. I think I would enjoy this more if I were watching the musical/movie.

Did not realize that the Talking Heads were as “groovy” as they are in this album. Feels almost funk-adjacent. Musically, I enjoyed this. David Byrne’s vocals are hit or miss for me. Songs where he sings more (Take Me to the River, The Big Country) I prefer over his more breathy talk-stutter-sing

Very solid English punk album

First time listening to the album fully! Just great. So many songs that would come to define the band.

It’s fine. There’s times where it sounds a bit generic, but there were a few standouts to me—Bittersweet Symphony of course, as well as Sonnet. It’s a bit bland at times, and can run a bit long. Once or twice a song tries to go in an “acid-rocky” type direction that doesn’t really hit. Overall, it’s a 90’s alternative album!

Didn’t really do it for me. At times sounded like they were trying to be the Rolling Stones

Very vibey. Enjoyed listening to this

I know this had to be influential, but it didn’t really do it for me.

Loved this. Could do without free form guitar, but I get it. Terry Kath is exceptional

This album made me want to find the nearest disco and tear up the dance floor

Really enjoyable indie pop

While it’s not entirely my cup of tea, I can recognize it for what it is and how many hits were on this one album that have stood the test of time. Essentially the album that put her on the map

Perfect
