1001 Albums Summary

Great harmony and comfortable music

Direct opposite of yesterday’s album, a hard rock with pretty great songs

Something I would hear in a nice shop.

This is a really weird album. I could give this two stars or five stars and still be satisfied with my rating. Strange, random, five stars.

SCREAMING

Even though I enjoyed the rest of the album less than some people would, the Thriller-Beat It-Billie Jean run and his beautiful voice easily makes me give a five.

Absolutely enjoyed the first two songs and the last three songs. Can’t say the same about the others though. I noticed that it has greatness, but I just could not sink that into my mind. Yet, fun album, great music, and quite a positive rating.

I think many other people who are experts in this genre can explain this album’s greatness better, but listening to this album was an activity that I never thought I needed. I think this is my favorite album so far in this project. And that’s after having ‘Physical Graffiti’ and ‘Thriller’ and so many other amazing albums. This album doesn’t shout greatness, but his effortlessly comforting voice combined with many incredibly enjoyable songs is so good. There might be musically better albums than this(not much though), but this will probably be my favorite.(This review is written by a person who has not listened to any of his works or Velvet Underground’s albums.)

‘Jump’ is always a classic. Just pure 80s song. ‘Panama’ was okay/good. These fast hard rock songs really get me. And their natural talent is just great. A pleasant experience.

Thought about giving a 3, but I probably will check this album again, so 4 stars. It deserves a high rating anyways.

First of all, what’s with the album name? It’s stupid and clever at the same time. And what about the songs? Well… I listened to this album after making a terrible mistake of giving ‘Purple Rain’ a two star rating, (Website-wise it’s a day later, but in real life, I listened to Purple Rain first, so…) and this didn’t help me lift my mood. A generic album, with generic songs… did not enjoy.

Didn’t like the album as others might have did, wasn’t the biggest fan of ‘The Beautiful Ones’, just sounded uncomfortable to me. I was able to feel the talent, just was not convinced that this is one of the greatest albums of all time. His guitar performance for ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ is one of the best live performances ever, I’ll give him that.

Scream rapping white 80s’ people are not my type for music at all, but you have to appreciate their desire to steal my nonexistent girlfriend.(Written in Valentines Day)

‘Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash As we fell into the sun And the first one said to the second one there "I hope you're having fun"’(Band On the Run) This was one of the albums that I was most excited about, since I loved some songs that Paul McCartney created, like Too Many People and NEW and many more. And this album was cool, but it just felt like it was lacking something. It may just be something about my mood, but it just felt like it was one step away from being one of my favorite albums. Don’t get me wrong, this is amazing. But there were some songs that I liked less than others, and that held me back a bit. 4.4 stars.

Weird trip. Loved it, love Lou Reed.

The melodies were promising, but the vocals did not convince me that it was a great album.
