1001 Albums Summary

Great from front to back. In Vegas right now and this was the perfect soundtrack to walking the strip and through casinos.

Honestly really enjoyed it. The band is great. They ripped the horns and the hammond the whole album. The vocals took away from the album at some points. I liked them at first, but they get a bit tiring by the end of the record.

If the Beatles were American-Brazilian. Fun listen. It's a pretty live recording that shows in trickier sections, but that adds to the charm. Many tracks sounded like they came from completely different bands and some of the guitar tones were just annoying to listen to for an entire song. I swear one of the song's guitar tracks sounds like a corrupted file. Adeus Maria Fulô, Tempo No Tempo, Trem Fantasma, and the cover of Le Premier Bonheur Du Jour were stand outs for me. Would listen again.

Great listen. Some of the jams maybe overstay their welcome a little but it sounds like a good time. The vocals are so great. I genuinely can't tell if some of the guitar tones were vocals through a talk box and wah but I love it. It's always fun to hear how old mixes were done. Songs had the full kit panned right and bass panned full left and it's a bit distracting. I feel like the version I had had remasters or something because some songs were night and day.

Perfect album tbh. It’s crazy to put that many classics on one album

Kinda boring at best. Maybe I would appreciate it more if I was a God-fearing American

I really appreciate that they started with a song about my height, that was cool. Some songs would start and I would like them, but were so repetitive that I was over it by the end. Never Said (Nothing) is a great name for a song where she says nothing. Some of it sounded demo-ish which I’m down with, but on Explain It To Me, the whole rhythm section fell apart for a couple bars and they didn’t think to do a retake??? That or they were playing some big brain polyrhythms. Also if you listened to the 2018 remaster what happened at the end of Strange Loop.

Not good. There were a couple songs that were okay but apparently they’re bonus tracks. I’m all for bad singers but Curt and I seem to share a range. Also the guitarist seems to be trying to find the right note and tune mid recording.

Loved to listen to but didn’t have much that really stuck with me. Maybe it was the listening environment or the 90s but I feel like I couldn’t hear the different parts in the songs. You really hear the difference when you compare any song with Married with Children. Caught between a 3 and 4 here. Shakermaker, Live Forever, and Married with Children got a like.

There were like two songs I could listen to.

I’d 100% go to this show but as an album it was a tough listen. I’m also conflicted about the song length because on the one hand every song feels unfinished and on the other every song sounds so similar that they all blend together. Also I hope this band never needs to cross a river because they hate bridges.

Yeah, Like a Prayer is a perfect song. The synth bass is so great across the album, I need to learn some of those lines. Such a golden age for synths too. They had a few years with the DX7 already and I love the sound from that late 80s FM stuff.
