Among The Living
AnthraxThought I would hate this one but turns out I liked it a lot. Liked the music and the lyrics.

Easy listening album. Liked most of the songs. Probably wouldn't listen to it over and over again.
Boring. Felt like white noise.
Definitely not background music. This album demands full attention. Love it.
Listened on a gloomy rainy morning. Fit my meditative, quiet mood. BTW unable to play it on spotify. Had to find it on you tube.
Meh. Kind of teenage angsty. Second half was more interesting.
So horrifying. So real. Couldn't look away. I was going to give it a 1 star. But it haunted me all day. Does that mean that it should get 5 star? I'll go with 3 just because I can't decide.
I'm not a fan of this music. I thought the album was tedious. I find the guitar crescendos annoying. Not my taste.
So I just dissed the Dust because I said I didn't like loud crescendo-y guitar playing. BUT I do love the Ramones. I guess if you add a consistent up-beat in-your-face dance beat to it I'm hooked. I mean, who couldn't want to dance to Blitzdrieg Bop or Judy is a Punk.
Liked it. Liked the opening with a good rock and roll vibe.
Loved it!
Great album. Love hearing it now and then but wouldn’t add it to my queue. Hmmm… Does that make it a 3 or a 4?
Wow. That was sick. Song of Joy and O’Malley’s Bar…so disturbing.
Trippy electronic music doesn’t do it for me. I can see grooving to it in a disco but hard to just listen to a whole album in a normal state of mind.
I love Paul Simon! Great song writer and musician. I never get tired of listening to his songs. I probably would have picked his Graceland album as the one to pick for the 1001 compilation.
Another great singer song writer. Love Word on a Wing, Golden Years and TVC15.
Meh. Didn’t hate it. Kind of annoying background music.
Thought I would hate this one but turns out I liked it a lot. Liked the music and the lyrics.
I liked it but it didn’t draw me in.
Like the bluesy feel of this album.
Never heard of Nico. Found album interesting. Read her bio. Seems she was a constant presence in the music scene of the’60s and’70s. I’ll give the album 3 stars because of its historical interest.
It’s all about the guitar. I loved listening to this album.
Most anything Paul Simon is easy to listen to. This one brings back memories so I’m giving it a 5.
I enjoyed listening to the album. I liked Stand and Orange Crush. But the album didn’t wow me. So I guess a bit better than 3.
I thought I would hate this album after the first cynical song. But by the end of song two I was hooked.
Didn't enjoy this album.
Never heard of these folks but enjoyed the album. I liked her voice and most of the songs on the album but the music got a little tedious.
Liked the horns. Kind of liked the whiny angsty lyrics. Kept me interested.
Liked this album a lot. Fun to listen to all the way through.
Hated it. As mom used to say, just noise.
Best album yet! I love cowboy music and this album has so many classics.
Liked some of it but not music I would ever seek out.
Enjoyed the album. Liked the way he had a full band behind him. But it didn’t make me want to listen to it twice.
Did not enjoy this album.
Good old fashioned rock and roll. Really liked the Otis Redding song.
Hmmmm…Do I give this a 5 or a 1? On the one hand, I’m in awe of the way rappers rap. It’s so infectious. Hard to look away. But I would never choose to listen to this on my own. On the other hand, I did listen to it all the way through and felt empathetic to the feelings and messages of the songs. It was exhausting but so amazing.
What a horrible sad thing to put out into the world. Of course the last song made it almost worth the effort of suffering through this mercifully short album. It was pretty funny.
Nice listening.
Got bored halfway through.
Liked a couple of old standards but otherwise I’m not sure why this album is on the list.
Loved this album. Brought me back to last angsty days of youth before Wheels On The Bus totally took over. The music still resonates.
Such an amazing talent. Her vocal range is awesome.
