1001 Albums Summary

Good album. I’m not a huge Steely fan but there is a good variety of sounds on this. And a number of recognizable hits.

I like this album a lot. Much better than the albums that followed.

Surprised how much I liked it. Very Stones-esque. Title track is a banger.

I've listened to this in the past and have a vinyl copy from Third Man Records. Its fantastic. I don't have much exposure to Cash, but you can hear the passion in his performance. I can't imagine what it was like to play in a high-security prison like that.

Well, it has Mrs. Robinson, which is an all-timer. I love S&G, but this album is a little strange. I actually liked the weird at first, but then the songs didn't match the noises.

Its tough for me to rate a jazz album as I don't listen to a lot of it. This was enjoyable, but not to the point where I felt it was vastly different from other albums I've listened to.

No. I listened to it when it came out and I hated it.

Had no idea what this was going in, but I really liked it. Was ready to give it 4 stars but the last two tracks kinda fizzled. Some great tunes on here though.

Thinking about giving my first 5 star review. This is an album of pure emotion of all kinds, mixing so many different instruments and song structures effectively. Not to mention some of the all-time classics like Everybody Hurts and Nightswimming. Man on the Moon too.

I consider 3 stars to be a pretty good rating. This one is 3.5. Groundbreaking for its time, but some of it hasn't held up, but a lot has. I get bothered by repetition and rap back then had a ton of it. But its a classic.

I love that 9 songs only take 34 minutes to listen to. Less than 4 minutes per tune! I'd never listened to this album. Starts with Back in the Saddle, which is a rocker. No other huge hits on this one. Combination is an instrumental ROCKER! Why had I never heard it? Only 1 bad tune from what I heard.

Not for me. She has a nice voice, but there's not much to the music.

This is why I wanted to do this. Finding albums like this. Really good. Uplifting deep lyrics. Great voice

Screamy punk

All time classic and only 21 minutes long.

Meh

Fitting since one of the members just passed away. this is a very enjoyable album. Steely Dan is a band that don't really sound like anyone else. Chicago is the closest I can think of.

I'm torn between the influence this album had on rock/grunge music at the time and my enjoyment of it today. Its raw, its beautiful, its noisy.

Not my type of music. He's a crooner. Slow, orchestral.

It doesn't hold up. It was the early 80's and music wasn't great back then in general. Yes, there are a couple iconic songs on this and I'll give it 3 justfor that, but its not relistenable as an entire album.

At first i thought i was really going to like this. Then it went on and was just weird. And she doesn't even have a great singing voice. I can see why it was popular in the sixties. I can see a drug culture being into this. Gave up towards the end. Every song sounds the same.

This is a pretty good album. I think i might like Pavement.

Ew. Awful

All-timer for my generation

Never delved into the Kinks. Fun and uplifting.
