1001 Albums Summary

This will always remind me of my childhood and Dad. Just damn good music

meh

Groove

I like it. Bodysnatchers was especially delightful.

Brown noise that helped me cultivate 10 acres in Farming Simulator. If I need to zone out and not think much, this works

Haha, that was fun, but like in a really bad way

I balked a bit when I saw it was a 6 CD box set, but the time flew by. This was great

Hip hop, in general, is more difficult for me to get in to. I liked Tribe okay. It's definitely better than the crap I hear blared at intersections, and the absence of a constant barrage of obscenities was nice (oh lord, I'm getting old). Ham and Eggs was great though. Halfway through the track I realized they were giving me healthy dietary advice.

This being my primary exposure to rap when I was younger and in school is probably why I fought hip hop for so long.

I can't think how to articulate why at the moment, but I really liked this quite a bit.

Something about this type of music connects with the little struggling neurons in my brain in a way other genres of music don't seem to. I was listening to this while I worked and it was not helpful. I often found myself staring blankly at the wall, no longer working, having picked out some small individual sound, following it along its journey through the track, unable to snap out of the trance until the song ended. Which also sounds oddly like a mind-numbing tranquilizer, an agent of control constructed to lure me into a state passive submission, where Richard James' nefarious designs on the world can begin to take shape. I wouldn't put it past him.

I like Muddy Waters, but this particular recording didn't quite grab me. The quality felt off and....muddy. It could also have been that I was listening to it in the car on a busy highway as opposed to my usual quiet office and headphones. In fact, I don't know why I'm leaving this review instead of re-listening to it.

It was okay. I listened twice to make sure I couldn't bump it past three stars. Would probably enjoy it more if I had the flu and was taking lots of cold medicine minus the actually having the flu part.

This is rock and roll! Everything about them is fantastic. And the drum bit on 'I Can't Quit You Baby' at minute three? So good

no.

This was great. Many of the songs I recognized from classic rock stations growing up, but wasn't familiar with the band. Boston is fantastic

I like it

Not as good as some of their later albums. I definitely prefer Bruce Dickinson on vocals. This is still decent metal though

Reminded me of when everybody was playing around with FruityLoops back in high school.

I can see why they are so popular. Kind of a one size fits all types of people band.

Not my jam, but I can see it being good

At times very similar to a Saturday morning preschool show. One of the terrible ones. 2 Stars since I found myself whistling one of the tunes later in the evening, which is also reminiscent of terrible Saturday morning preschool shows.

This album is raw. I love it

Easy listening

Nice programming music

Decent rock and roll

They have such a melancholic, kind of apocalyptic, sound. I like it, but there isn't much variation.

Surprisingly, I had not listened to much Bob Dylan before. Now I have. Not bad.

I was head bobbin through much of it, then I started really paying attention to what they were saying. Your mom jokes and shock factor impress me less now. Still kept listening though

Sometimes I'm unimpressed by the grandstanding in rap, sometimes I'm bored of the never ending womanizing and drug glorification, and sometimes I like it....I can't figure me out. I'll let you know in 200 more albums.

Interesting and enjoyable without feeling like it's being weird just to be weird

The heaviest of the System albums and also my introduction to them. I can still get goosebumps listening to Spiders. This and 80's power metal is what eventually led me to my love of melodic death metal (Amon Amarth, ect) which I still shamelessly listen to today.

Reminds me of something my mom would have playing while cooking. So there are some nostalgia points there. Overall a relaxing listen

She can sing for sure. Not something I would seek out though

Funky

It was interesting reading about his life and skills as a musician. Less interesting to listen to the album.

Relaxing

Good rock and roll

This is the sound I think of when I think "punk". I thought I liked punk. This was just okay.
