Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds · 1 likes

1/5

I've never heard of this band or this album. Based on this album, I don't want to know more. Not a fan of Nick Cave's voice--not for me. This reminds me of Phantom of the Opera in a bad way. This is a like a parody of Dracula, prancing through a castle. It was tough to get through the whole album. Sorry to all the fans I see in reviews. Sorry that I'll have to apparently listen to two (?) more Nick Cave albums eventually.

4/5

I've only ever known "Coconut," so listening to this album was a treat. It's a fully developed album, so much more than "Coconut." Standouts for me include "The Moonbeam Song" (both versions), "I'll Never Leave You," "Lamaze," and "Old Forgotten Soldier."

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Listen, it's a good album; it's just not fully for me.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

Great album. Really gets to the anger and angst. I would have loved this as a teenager. Unfortunately, I wasn't exposed to it... Three stars because I will likely not listen to this album again.

Dire Straits

3/5

Enjoyable but starts to all sound the same towards the middle of the album.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

I played saxophone through middle and high school, so listening to big band music is always a joy for me. I love picking out the different instruments being played, the harmonies they have, the music behind the melodies. Love, love, love.

Aja

Steely Dan

3/5

It's not bad. I would listen again. But it's, honestly, kinda boring.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

I had to listen to this growing up when I was in the car with my dad and brother. I didn't enjoy it then, and I don't enjoy it now. It all sounds about the same.

With The Beatles

Beatles

2/5

The two songs I liked: All My Loving and Till There Was You. Can't say anything else on here was, like, groundbreaking? I don't dislike The Beatles, but I've never understood their mass, years-long appeal. I'm sure someone will say that of the music stars of the 2010s/2020s in years to come.

Ray Charles

So beautiful. So artistic. Thanks, 1001 Albums Generator, for bringing this album to me.

The xx

4/5

What a fun surprise. I love this album and have since I first heard it in 2009.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

1/5

This album does absolutely nothing for me. I don't hear emotion in it. He sounds bored in some songs.

Fever Ray

1/5

This is not my style of music at all. Hate it. Will never ever listen again. I wish I didn't have to listen the first time. I'd really love a rubric that shows how these 1001 albums were determined.

Street Life

The Crusaders

3/5

This is like funky elevator music. And I like it! Great, unoffending music that I can play at work.

Technique

New Order

4/5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

I love a song that tells a story, and that's this whole album. Makes me think of my grandpa and the music he would listen to and the westerns he would watch.
