Amazing album. One of the best from the best of all time

Great. Just not my thing now

I can see why they never hit in America

There was not a single interesting passage in this shit. A Mel Bay cd for practicing arpeggios would be better.

God created Carole King, and she was good. So he created male Carole King. And he was good

I tried

Dug it, kinda faded on the back half

Dude knows what he’s doing

Is this good? Not sure. But it’s so 90s

Weird!

Hell yeah

First half is stupid, second half is marginally ok. This is a generous 2

This juice wasn’t worth the squeeze

Props for keeping this under 30 minutes

Really wish zero stars was an option

This feels harsh but apart from the hits just didn’t do it for me

Didn’t realize almost every chorus was a ripoff of a prior hit. Do I give them credit for that? No. No I don’t

Bit repetitive, but solid

Well it has the decency to be short anyway

Half good. Half really meh

Can’t wait for the Mel bay cd on the new version of the list

Almost gave it an extra star for that one song, but then listened to the rest.

What a run he was on

Gets a bit goofy but rundgren has been really enjoyable on this album tour

Best recorded guitar sound in rock history. Holy hell!

Bounced between a 3 and a 2 on this one. Just wasn’t Eno’s day

Enjoyable

Better nick drake

Not bad. Never really gets out of first and wasn’t interesting enough to merit higher

The quirkiness was kinda cool to start but find another voice man

What if i took a bunch of weird sounds that might be cool as an accent and made it the whole album

Dig it. Maybe a 3

Not bad but so schmaltzy. I’m sure that’s what he was going for, just didn’t hit for me today

Not bad

More punk than I realized. Pretty cool

Tough listen

Awesome

Liked it when it first came out but now just think it took awesome rockers and made them less awesome

Melodramatic drivel. Worst of Spector and 70s impulses. I miss runaround sue. I’m sorry this happened to you, Dion

This wannabe Tolkien shit is one of the major food groups of British 60s rock and good gravy it’s terrible

Ok vibe. Arcade firey

Oddball in a cool way, not totally my thing

Pretty cool but a bit long

Some of these are ok but a 3-hour album? Cmon man these weren’t all ready for prime time

Great

On another day I might have hated this. But today it worked for me. 4 stars!

Blitzkrieg bop is great but every other tune just a lesser version of that

Prince lifts this album to a 2

Meh

Ridiculous

Stupid

Did I like this? I did. Surprised as anyone

Great

I really liked this

Just not a tom waits guy

Really great

This album also drove me crazy!

Morrissey is definitely zero fun at parties

Strawberry letter so good

Good stuff

Best Morrissey but insanely over represented on this list

Pretty cool. Maybe a 4

Apt wiki description. Very Stones

Solid 70s rock

I dug it

Pretty cool. They def love Bowie

Awesome

2/3

I dunno maybe a 2. Inspired!

9th album??? Who kept green lighting this drivel?

Man their early stuff stinks

Spotify seemed to only have outtakes. But I dig it

Accidentally put this rating on smokers delight. The review for that one is the same. Pretty boring

This might be the worst thing on the list. High bar

Incredibly boring! No offensive enough for a 2 I suppose. But man

What a dumb fucking album

So self serious

Pleasant surprise

Pretty cool

Q-tip is cool, man

I really did not like this!

Surprise!

Was expecting much weirder, like solo frusciante. Some cool mod stuff

So 90s

Nice

A astral weeks

Meh

Wow

Not bad in small doses but man dude is going through some stuff

I dig it

Pretty good

So people bought this and then took the effort to flip to side B, and then the further effort to pull the second record out of the sleeve and continue?

Some cool stuff but really repetitive

Respect the commitment. These boys can play

Fades a bit in the second half. But beginning is all hits

Some of this was interesting in a cool way, but I didn’t like it

It rocks

This is great. Very funky

Cool but fades a bit on side b

She’s one of a kind

I dig it

Not really an album

Consistently solid

This is cool

Some of this was cool. Some not

Strong. Too long

Great

Launched a 1000 jam bands

Good fun

Started so strong and then just faded

Solid 90s rock. BSS still rules

Why do the British rap? Leave it to the professionals

Started it fine and then got annoying as it went on

Can’t say I like this, but it’s interesting and weird

Very silly. Very dramatic. Very fun. What the hell, 4

Well, he was great in Buster Scruggs

Music was ok but the spoken word stuff?

Strong 3, weak 4

The rock stuff was cool. The rest wasn’t

Barely on the right side of 3

Singer really ruins this

Some nice stuff here.

Starts off with some bangers and then gets so square. Maybe a 2

Awful

The goofy 80s-ness on this was kinda charming

A real revelation of the 1001 albums is that Queen’s albums are not good

Like the background music to every 90s teen drama on the CW

Pretty cool. Vibe kinda drags by the end of the album

Frank was feeling some feelings

Some cool stuff, a bit too goofy for a 4. But close

I think this is the best version of Drake. It’s fine

This feels generous

Mid

Pretty cool but this era really had shitty mixes

Bjork is on another plane but this isn’t for me
