1001 Albums Summary

I liked this album a lot. I've listened to various Smith songs from playlists and liked them, but the only time I listened to an album (not this one) I didn't find the whole to be that great. Not so with this album.

Not my thing

Too twangy

Why was this in anyone's list of music to listen to?

It's rap. 'Nuff said

Too shouty. "Into the Mystic" shouldn't be shouty.

It's kinda fun.

No variety, everything sounds the same

Musically interesting, didn't like her singing

Such a fine album, with lots of variety. Plus, Shane McGowan!

I like the music. I do not like yelling that masquerades as singing.

Interesting for a couple of tracks, but it was too one-dimensional, and that sludge guitar permeated everything.

Great music, terrible singing

boring

Everyone is ragging on how boring 1983..and Voodoo Child, and how great All Along the Watchtower is. For me, it's the other way around. I think the side with Rainy Day, 1983, and Moon Turn the Tides,is fabulous stuff, a mesmerizing display of great musicians jamming with Jimi's great quitar work. It and The Allman Brothers Mountain Jam, my very favorite pieces of rock music ever. I think both Voodoo Child and Voodoo Chile (A Slight Return) are monumental blues numbers. All the rest of the album (excepting Still Raining, Still Dreaming) are just filler to me compared to the rest of this awesome album.

Not the kind of thing I usually listen to, but I really liked this.

Boring. I favor music over lyrics, and there's no music to speak of.

Musically very good, but way too country for my taste.

initially a bit interesting, but ultimately sorta boring

The best first album by any band, and one of the best albums ever.
