Nilsson Schmilsson
Harry Nilsson
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."

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

Alice In Chains
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.

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

Birth Of The Cool
Miles Davis
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.

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

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
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.

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

Henry's Dream
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
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.

American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny Cash
This album does absolutely nothing for me. I don't hear emotion in it. He sounds bored in some songs.

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.

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

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

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.

First time listening to this album. I only ever knew Seven Nation Army from playing it as a stand tune in high school marching band. It's perfection.
