An important album at an important time for UK music.
I can imagine if you aren’t from the UK and/or late 80’s/early 90’s wasn’t your thing then you might not like or understand the album. Or you probably like Velvet Underground 🤮

I heard a lot good things about this album and I’ve been left really disappointed. For me the album gets better towards the end but no track stands out a classic.
I don’t like jazz so those jazz infused tracks were not nice. A generous 3 stars.
Parliament

I feel like I’m listening to them live and they are warming up, in particular the lead singer. I don’t like his voice. They should re-record the album with a different singer.

So good. A couple of weak tracks but the good tracks are so so good. An album that has inspired numerous other musicians. Samples used by Nas, SWV, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, The Prodigy, Kanye West, 2Pac….

"I feel music should make you happy, make you relaxed, pump you up, make you think, make you inspired. I feel music shouldn't make you feel anxious, on edge and angry, which is what this album did to me. Ross from Friends on keyboards with a guy off the street singing over it.
The good thing about listening to 1001 albums is that there are the odd person/group that I have never ever heard of. There's a good reason I haven't heard of Robert Wyatt or Rock Bottom, the album is horrendous. I read more about him and his history and ending up in a wheelchair is not an excuse for releasing crap music. The equivalent of a monkey throwing faeces at a canvas and calling it art. "

The first track which is 15 minutes long, is like a group of chimps have found instruments and they each stumble across different notes which kind of resemble music but none of it goes together. The album does pick up slightly in the middle but then deteoriates. A real tough listen overall.

Well this is a weird one. This band/album completely passed me by, despite being released at a time when I was deep in to all sorts of music. As soon as it started I feared the worst but I was pleasantly surprised. It's such an easy, basic minded, probably American viewpoint to compare them negatively to Oasis. Good songwriting, good variety of sounds.

I don’t like gin and tonic. Mainly because I don’t like the taste of gin and don’t like the taste of tonic. Friends will always ask me to try theirs as apparently “it’s the best one yet”. It never is. This is how I feel about Jazz.
This album was at the lower end of Jazz. Really hurt to listen to. Like my 6 year old daughter had found an instrument and attempted to play it.

I've never been a huge fan of Kanye, like a unpredictable toddler that sometimes shows promise. He's good but not amazing and the same goes for this album. Also modern day albums always seem to go on longer, sometimes twice as long. Is this because of ego or do the artists just have a lot of mid rated songs and they can't decide what to put on the album.

Probably the first album that has really surprised me. My genre of choice is 90's Electronica/Indie and always been wary of country/country & western. I was deflated when I saw it was going to be 2 hours of country music but I was proved very wrong. It was a foot tapper, head nodder, thought provoking album. Yes, it's probably too long and some songs don't quite hit the spot which marks the album down a touch. Would I listen to all the album again, probably not but definitely will add my favourites to my spotify list.

This is very close to a 1 star. The 2nd half of this album saves it slightly. Don’t get me wrong, this album is absolutely horrific. Music should not make you angry but that’s the affect his nasal warbling and harmonica does to me.

I had this on in the background whilst doing jobs around the house. It annoyed me. I don't like jazz and trumpet sounds just grate on me. My young daughter asked me what on earth I was listening to! I came to rate it 2 stars and then saw how highly rated the album was so thought I should give it another listen. I wish I hadn't. Still 2 stars.
