5/10 That's nice. 5-2-2024

6/10 This was pretty good. It was like elevator music for a very sexy elevator. 5-20-2024

6/10 Not my favorite band, and in hindsight the singles are the only thing I like on this album. I don't hate it. 2-21-2024

7/10 White Winter Hymnal is amazing. in a less than generous word: twee. The distortion is the same in every song. I like it, all of it. It soars when it works, and when it doesn't, it is still a warm sweater of an album. The songs belong in as many indie films as they can fit in. 2-22-2024

4/10 I refuse to yuck people yum on this. It isn't unlistenable, I just don't feel anything for it. 2-23-24

6/10 This is so outside my experience. I've never just sat down and listened to Miles Davis before. My first impression is that this is hard to listen to and do other things, which isn't bad. I don't ordinarily engage with music like that is all. That being said, it isn't anything I'd seek out on my own, and I don't feel compelled to listen again. 2/26/2024

3/10 Chaos, but not completely. My ears don't work right for this 2-27-2024

8/10 Solid listen. Its been awhile since I've heard this and without it being as ubiquitous as the air we breath, I remebered how good every song is here. 2-28-2024

5/10 nice but forgettable 2-29-2024

8/10 It's not among my favorite David Bowie albums, but...David Bowie none the less. 3-1-2024

7/10 Sour time and Glory box stand out as really good. The rest is relaxing trip-hop that I'm happy to listen to, but no chills or jaw drops. elevator music for a really cool elevator. 3-4-2024

8/10 I love this album and often find myself nodding my head in tempo. There are some stand-out tracks but the album falls short of being in the "every track is great" territory 3-5-2024

5/10 Pleasant enough. 3-6-2024

6/10 This is fun. 3/7/2024

8/10 Nearly half of this album has some of my favorite songs. 3/8/2024

5/10 I listened to it. It was nice. 3-11-2024

4/10 meh? 1001 albums is a lot of albums it seems. 3-12-2024

6/10 Talking heads are great. This album is OK. 3-13-2024

7/10 Elliot Smith is my kind of music. I like this whole album but couldn't name you one track that stands out 3-14-2024

6/10 Neil Young is always listenable, or at least so far. This is OK, but it is nowhere near the list of my favorite albums from him. 3-16-2024

6/10 It is a pleasant listen with a couple of stand-out tracks. 3-18-2024

2/10 not for me, stopped listening half way through. couldn't even bother scrubbing through all the tracks. It was on in the background and I was still bored 3-19-2024

6/10 I like the song writing, the arrangements are good too. it feels like a lonely 60's crooner writing for the most depressing musical ever made. 4/1/2024

6/10 This is an Elvis Costello album. It has none of the singles that Elvis Costello is famous for. It is about as Elvis Costello as you would think if someone told you that Elvis Costello wrote an album and here it is. I was not surprised because it sounded exactly like Elvis Costello. On the bright side I like Elvis Costello in general. 4-1-2024

8/10 I'm completely biased. Chicago is one of my favorite songs of all time. I listen to it often and still get frission every time I hear it. The only reason this isn't a 10 out of 10 is that the other songs, with the exception of John Wayne Gacy, Jr., are just good. 4-1-2024

6/10 Psycho Killer...and Talking Head songs. like it, don't love it. but PSYCO KILLER!!! 4/1/2024

5/10 Great opening track. I officially like one Steely Dan song. Mercifully this album is short. so smooth my brain shut off and I found myself drooling. meh. 4-1-2024

6/10 I like some of the melancholy runs. It relaxed me. some of the runs were just noise to me but I'm not a jazz fan. Of all the jazz I've heard this was pretty listenable 4-2-2024

5/10 At its worst, it's ordinary background R&B, and at its best, it made me nod my head a bit. Again, 1001 albums is way more albums than I thought. 4-3-2024

1/10 Holy hell, do I not like this. The rock is ok, but it is done better by those who came before and after. The slow country and ballads are the sleepiest horseshit. There is no passion here, only technique and even that's lacking. In summary, no, sir, I don't like it. 4-4-2024

6/10 Wake Up is fantastic, and Arcade Fire is talented. However, even though I enjoyed these songs well enough, I don't feel anything special about them. 4-5-2024

6/10 I had fun with this. I don't know why I keep getting the edges of the catalogs. Iron Maiden is a fine album, but that's it...fine. 4-8-2024

7/10 This is a rainy day album. drinking tea and putting you feet up. no stand out tracks, just nice mellow musings on the color gray. 4-9-2024

1/10 I do not have the patience needed to engage with this. I don't like syd's voice, especially when he tries to get out of his range, I don't like the arrangements. I can't help but think this was a bunch of friends indulging someone who had clearly began to stop being able to function. I kind of feel sad, and I don't understand why this album is on this list. 4-10-2024

5/10 I like life's what you make it. the rest of the songs are pleasant enough and would be all the rage if I lived in a sleepy village and didn't have a job to do. 4-11-2024

9/10 This is my first 5 star album. It's so iconic I can't separate it from the miasma of music that is just in my head all the time. That it was this polished and hook filled in 1978 just puts it over the top. Moving in stereo, even without its association with Fast Times, has a tense sense of menace to it that gives me chills. Every other track is either good or flawless. The only reason it isn't a 10/10 is that I'm not compelled to own a physical copy, but it's close. 4-12-2024

8/10 I love this record. When doves cry is one of my favorite songs and the rest of the songs are fun and just well executed. 4-15-2024

5/10 This has some music. I was not disgusted. I like the square beats and the repeating motifs. Any influence this may have had is so far back in the dialectic that I can't see it from here. I didn't fall asleep, so... 4/16/2024

4/10 I don't get the love for Kanye West. Jesus walks is kind of interesting. The rest is...meh 4-19-2024

5/10 I had some fun listening to this. Not something I would have listened to on my own. 4-19-2024

10/10 The...Pixies...absolute perfection. There aren't many bands that I like most if not all of their catalog. I won't pretend to be anything than a Pixies fan boy. 4-22-2024

5/10 I'm not a fan of live albums. That being said this is middle of the road classic rock which isn't bad. 4-23-2024

2/10 I got bored. I can't listen to the whole thing. I did try. Not for me I guess. 4-24-2024

5/10 Jesus...1001 albums...I don't hate this, far from it. If this came on the radio I wouldn't turn it off. That being said I'm not going to jump up and go find more from this artists catalog. It's the kind of thing you'd like if you like that sort of thing. 4-25-2024

8/10 I love this album. Alanis sings with such passion and the songs are hooky and engaging. a good listen all around. 4/26/2024

8/10 This was a pleasent surprise. 4-30-2024

5/10 whatever they are doing they are doing it well. I don't think I have a score for this. I don't want to give it a one because it was bizarrely entertaining. I don't want to give it 5 stars because I will never listen to this again unless its to share it with other people. I'm going to give it three stars and walk away slowly. 4-30-2024

6/10 Straight forward rock. the vocals are great. 5-2-2023

5/10 That's nice. 5-2-2024

5/10 A stark contrast to what would come later. boring, but what wasn't in 1965. At least this had a little bluesy edge. 5-3-2024

8/10 It seems so effortless. I can't imagine a world where these songs don't exist. I like them but I've been saturated in them, I can't separate them from the ether. 5-6-2024

7/10 There is an earnestness to this record I enjoy. I think this got in right before irony ruined cool jams. I've liked the singles from this record forever. It isn't the best of the best, but it does tickle some nostalgia. 5-7-2024

3/10 It was really nice of Ray Charles to give a bunch of vanilla choral singers and an out of touch big band orchestra an album of his to play on. I hope that this isn't the only Ray Charles album on the list so I can make it up to him. I simply can't spend all day listening to this inane nonsense. 5/8/2024

8/10 Just enough punk, just enough grit and best of all I've never listened to this album before this. Great discovery and it shames me that I haven't heard it sooner 5-9-2024

8/10 She has an incredible voice and the arrangements are great. 5-10-2024

7/10 Bowie=good, Heroes the single = good, Heroes the album = fine enough 5-13-2024

3/10 I'm glad they're having fun and for that I'm not going to give them one star. I'm not going to listen anymore but I wish them well. 5-14-2024

2/10 Like Dexys midnight runners, I too wish they were Warren Zevon. 5-15-2024

5/10 I like Van Morrison in general. I hate live albums in general. There is nothing here that pushes me one way or the other. You get my meh. 5-16-2024

9/10 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kate Bush...*catches breath* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You're arguments to the contrary are invalid. good day. 5-17-2024

6/10 This was pretty good. It was like elevator music for a very sexy elevator. 5-20-2024

4/10 I took a nap. it was not without a vague sense of jazz though. 5-21-2024

5/10 Ok doke 5-22-2024

7/10 zomg...so fucking 70's. I...I...*sigh* I really like Billy Joel. 5-23-2024

8/10 I know him...he's famous 5-24-2024

5/10 For the title track, you get 3 stars. Now put down your mics and leave my office before I change my mind. 5-27-2024

3/10 What? Really? Ok, no. 5-28-2024

6/10 Putting the title track aside, which is amazing, the rest of the songs sound like The doors if you poured a whole shit ton of water on them. 5-29-2024

8/10 I didn't expect to like the whole album as much as I did. Good melancholy stuff. 5-30-2024

6/10 I was a young man when i voted on this albummmm...it was a predictable novelty but not without its charmmmm...now I ride the planes aloooooone 5-31-2024

5/10 Thank you for your interest Mr. Monk, but we've decided to go with someone else. Your qualifications are magnificent and we can tell you are the kind of candidate that comes around once in a life time, but we simply don't have the kind of work for you that we feel would fulfill you. If I could invent a position I'd snap you up in a heart beat but I simply don't have the budget for someone of your caliber. I'll pass your interest on to a few people I know in the industry if you'd like and thanks again for stopping by. 6-3-2024

7/10 I like Iggy Pop. there are a couple of songs here that I like a bunch and some that I don't like a bunch but like. That is how I've arrived at this rating. 6-4-2024

10/10 I own it. I love it. 6-5-2024

2/10 this is barely music. There's some guy strumming a bunch of instruments and lazily saying shit in a mic. This is ambian. I want it gone, hear me, gone. 6-6-2024

5/10 Yes, Mr. Crimson please sit down. We noticed you are taking really long lunches. and while it isn't any of our business, there doesn't seem to be any meat on your sandwiches. We're going to have to let you go, 'cause you're weird and you sometimes just drift off into 10 minute long jams. 6-7-2024

6/10 When we first hired you, Lorde, we expected big things from you. I can't help but notice your beginning to lose the edge we were used to seeing in the beginning. We'd like to know what we can do better to help you shine again. 6-10-2024

7/10 I love me some PJ Harvey. This isn't my favorite album of theirs and nothing stands out as amazing, but I just like the band in general and so I really enjoyed just listening. 6-11-2024

7/10 I love the hooks and the flow and the other Hip Hop words. This definitely stands out and has some very good tracks 6-12-2024

7/10 I love her voice. The arrangements support her just fine, their just a bit too sleepy. It didn't detract from my enjoyment but that's why I couldn't go higher 6-13-2024

6/10 I had high hopes for this and that may be inflating the rating. I wouldn't seek this record out. Still has some moments of goodness. 6-14-2024

8/10 I love Kraftwerk, and this is a great album. I don't have to justify myself to you!!! 6-17-2024

5/10 *yawn* Thanks guys, I do be illin'. Now can you see yourselves out. 6-18-2024

9/10 New years Day is one of the best post punk songs I've heard. I like U2 and this album has a few just awesome songs. 6-20-2024

7/10 Yeah, warm nostalgia and some very good music. 6-20-2024

8/10 So good. 6-21-2024

6/10 Thanks for coming in. Music is not an endurance test fellas. You get paid the same either way. Don't you have hobbies or families to go home to. I don't want to discourage your hard work but I guarantee no one would hold it against you if you wanted to, you know, take a nap. 6-24-2024

7/10 I was pleasantly surprised. the beats are fun and the rock was well executed. 6-25-2024

5/10 Thanks to coming in for your review Nanci. You are a competent worker, but I wouldn't say you blow me away with your performance. Do you think you add to the overall culture we're trying to build here? I think you need to take some time to reflect and see if this is the kind of work you want to be doing. If it is, I think you should give it a full effort. None of these half measures, really give it your all. 6-26-2024

6/10 Hi Joni? This is HR. Are you OK? We keep hearing this wailing from your bathroom. I want you to know you are a valued member of this team and we are just concerned for your well being. 6-27-2024

8/10 Yoshimi has a black belt in karate and she works for the city. your argument is irrelevant. 6-28-2024

7/10 I had a nice time listening to this. I like the older feel with the distortion. It worked for me, what can I say 7-1-2024

8/10 Funk. yes. 7-2-2024

10/10 When I first heard Chvrches I had frisson from beginning to end. I can't explain the sense of future nostalgia I feel get when listening. They have better albums than this, and that is saying a whole bunch. 7-3-2024

8/10 The Psychedelic Furs don't have a wide range, but the narrow band they occupy is theirs alone. I find comfort in that.

5/10 Swell 7-5-2024

7/10 I'm fond of this record but it didn't play a significant role in my life. pretty much a solid rock and roll record. 7-08-2024

2/10 this is the kind of self indulgent horse piss you get when someone creative isn't told no. 7-9-2024

7/10 I like this record quite a bit. 7-11-2024

3/10 Thanks, I've had enough 7-11-2024

6/10 Best efforts don't corner orange markets boys. Let's try better than your best. 7-12-2024

7/10 I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. some tracks were flavorless but I felt the beat on more than a few. 7-15-2024

3/10 I can't lie, I like the Butthole Surfers I've heard before this album. this is...a thing. I may just not be in the mood for free form noise. 7-16-2024

7/10 I like the guitar work and the aimless vocals feel resolved even if I don't know what she's saying. I don't think it matters. a nice relaxing listen 7-17-2024

6/10 I like the speed and the guitar work. I don't like the length and the monotony. I'm not mad at it, is fine. 7-18-2024

7/10 Neil! Hey hey my my is one of my favorite songs and then Neil does Neil stuff for the rest of the album. Great stuff (into the black) 7-19-2024

8/10 I like radiohead. this album is great but nowhere near their best. That said I had a good time listening. 7-22-2024

7/10 This gets this score for no other reason than maggies farm. I wasn't sure I was going to like anything from Bob Dylan. This album has every song I like by him. 7-23-2024

3/10 No thanks, this isn't what we ordered. you can take it back to the kitchen now. 7-24-2024

5/10 Wake up, its some folk music 7-26-2024

6/10 Move on Bob. 7-27-2024

3/10 Live albums are a novelty. I don't like them and deep purple isn't good enough to get me to enjoy this one 7-29-2024

5/10 Ok. Thanks. 7-30-2024

4/10 Should be right up my alley--I couldn't get past the "English school boy finds a microphone and shows off for his parents" vibe. More fool me. 10-15-2024

7/10 light and meandering soundscapes as a mad women sings at the moon. What isn't to like? 10-16-2024

5/10 guy falls asleep on a distortion pedal or two and a wailing ghost tries to spook everyone by elongating vowels into a microphone. I'm sure this is what its like to listen to music on ether. Maybe ether will help, brb. 10-17-2024

6/10 I don't see these boys doing anything spectacular with their future. 10-21-2024

5/10 chill beats... 10-21-2024

8/10 I really like this album. I appreciate the writing and the production. 10-22-2024

5/10 Who let their kid in the recording booth? 10-23-2024

7/10 Fun and bouncy. good flow and production especially for 1992 10-24-2024

8/10 CCR! 10-25-2024

5/10 in six years from this album they would be one of the most transformative musical acts that pop music has ever seen and at the end of their good work. In this album they are pleasant-enough beanie babies. Wild. 10-28-2024

1/10 I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you warren. 10-29-2024

5/10 Pleasant enough but no variety. I just imagine the brothers swaying back and forth for eternity as the smiles on their face threaten to break their heads in half. 10-30-2024

5/10 this certainly is music that is being played. I'd know it anywhere 10-31-2024

6/10 cool, cool, cool. yep. 11-1-2024

6/10 immigrant song is good, the rest of the album is underwhelming. The more I listen to led Zeppelin, the less I like them. 11-04-2024

9/10 one of my favorite albums by Neil Young, so many good songs. 11-5-2024

NOT INTERESTED

7/10 mostly solid Bowie. 11-7-2024

5/10 I'm glad I listened. I like it. 11-12-2024

5/10 inoffensive and musicy as all get out. 11-12-2024

7/10 Fuzzy guitars and a mad Englishman roar. I love it and I would have never heard it. 11-13-2024

5/10 Not for me, but I don't hate it

9/10 The best produced album from Cash. I love his choices on the covers and I love his voice sounding like it got hit by a baseball bat but got up, bloodied, from the ground and dares you to hit it again. I think I needed this. 11-15-2024

7/10 Too much filler for 5 stars but punching way above its weight. 11-18-2024

8/10 I had too much fun listening to this album when I was a kid to give it any less. Still a fun listen. 11-19-2024

7/10 Bowie had much better albums before and after this...but Bowie 11-20-2024
