Quite an interesting and peculiar album, not necessarily nice to listen to, but I can tell that there is some ambition behind it. Also it is cool that albums like this could be done at all.

Some really good songs especially Seven Nation Army and The Hardest Button to Button but there were also a couple of songs I didn't enjoy as much.

Pleasant funk but nothing special

They call it House but I think it's Trash!

I'm going to give Play by Moby a 4/5. I think it's a really good album, I was vibing while I was listening to it. It had some really good songs and I might be influenced by nostalgia but I was considering giving it a 5 for a while. It's not completely consistent though, there are a few times that are a bit boring tbh. Did enjoy it a lot though, listened to it two more times despite already knowing how I would taste it.

One of my absolute favourite albums ever!

I was at first a little bit unsure whether to give this a 4 or a 5 because it's a bit of an uneven album. There are songs that are absolutely amazing and then there are those I haven't even heard before. Finally I landed in giving it a 5 just by the fact that there are more great songs here than most artists have during their entire career.

xx by The xx is very comfy, it's something you put on and just want to bathe in. I have listened to it a couple of times now and it's all very nice. The only singular tracks that I can recall is Shelter, but that is because Birdy made a cover of it. That version is much more traditional in that it doesn't have that vibe of ambience surrounding it as the original does. Anyway I can only give it a 4 because I feel like it's missing an edge somewhere, that might make it better but it might also take away what makes it great.

In getting strong rock opera vibe from this one and it keeps getting better the further on it goes. Then, at the end, there is an actual banga time in Seven Seas of Rhye that in a way crowns the album. Reminds me a lot of the Flash Gordon soundtrack they did later on because that one isn't a "singles" album either

It's an OK album, it's just feels a bit tired

One of my favourite albums of all time.

Really nice album, glad I across it

I understand that this album is held in high regard, but I don't understand it myself. Sure, it isn't bad but I think it's a bit boring.

Feels more like political spoken word than rap. Not very relevant politics either so there is not that much value to it anymore, the style is also quite dated, but fine nonetheless . I do like "Television the Drug of the Nation" it's a good track.

It was a pleasant listen, nothing really stuck with me though. Got different vibes, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jesus Chist Superstar and perhaps Uriah Heep (the flutes).

There are a few good songs on this album but most are just weird little dittys. Didn't finish it though because one of the tracks made me feel physically ill.

Blur by Blur has two big hits, Beetlebum and Song 2, but the rest of the album it pretty good too. Maybe they could have cut a couple of tracks from it and made it a bit more tight, but it's still really good altogether.

My first reaction to this was "oh, this is budget Talking Heads" but it turned out to be an enjoyable album. I especially liked the titular track Marquee Moon.

This is a lovely album, it makes me happy. All the songs are good!

A couple of good songs, a couple of ok ones but the rest just seems to be self indulgent jam sessions.

It's an alright, pretty pleasant album

Son of a Preacher Man is iconic of course, and The Windmills of the Mind is a good song too, but the rest of the songs don't really come close to that level. Nice in general... Nice but forgettable.

Diamond Life by Sade was a very nice album, pleasant chill vibes. Made me think of smooth jazz or Bossa and had some of that 80s naivety about it. Only Smooth Operator stands out really, giving it a 3/5.

It was an alright album, I enjoyed it. There where no big hits on it but there weren't any bad songs either. Didn't love it so I'll give it a 3.

There was one or two decent songs there but didn't enjoy the style in general

Feels like dad rock that tries to be cool. It's pretty good though, despite that

I think I'll give Piper At The Gates Of Dawn a 3/5. I really enjoyed Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive, The Gnome and Bike but the rest sort of mesh together in my mind

Giving Femi Kuti a 4, really liked the jazzy parts and the rhythms. Didn't listen that much to the lyrics, but I heard him singing about his dad Fela Kuti and his 27 wives.

This is so repetitive!!!

I didn't listen to Emperor Tomato Ketchup, I endured it! It was so long and repetitive, didn't enjoy any of it. I give myself a 5 for surviving this, and 1 to the album!

I didn't enjoy Primal Scream very much, the first song - Movin' on Up - is great, but the rest of the songs are quite different and not my jam at all.

I can't give this album more than a 3. Yes, it has some very good songs on it, and I'm not only talking about the hits. The problem is partly that it is way too long, but also that it becomes a bit samey for me and the last few songs are so tired.

A very boring album that is also easy too long. I can understand why his fans would like to have a live album too listen to, but it does not belong on the 1001 albums list. Even if not considering the controversies that has surrounded him, this album doesn't deserve more than a 1

A very nice and chill album, something to listen to in the wee small hours perhaps. I imagine a very late night, listening to this album on an old vinyl player, in a dark room, very much a vibe.

Nice and jazzy live album, Sarah Vaughn has a lovely voice. It seems like she has a good sense of humour as well.

One of my favourite albums of all

Boring, boring dad rock

One of my favourite albums of all

I didn't vibe with this at all, especially not his voice

A truly epic album
