This might not be a perfect recording album, there are times where the drummer does not know whether the band is still going and if they need to stop, but it gives it a charm that otherwise it wouldn't have.

Knew the singles from back in the day, had not heard the full LP beforehand. It's interesting, cause before today Clint Eastwood was the highlight, but Rock The House took the spot today from today. The ending track was annoying.

After first listen, side A classic, side B needs a bit of time to get used to. Geddy's voice is fine.

There are nice elements in this album(specially the backing vocals) , but the reverb at some points is too much for my liking. Maybe it would've been revelating to listen when it was released, but as it is right now it's just a palate cleanser

So far this is the first one that I've heard it beforehand in full and it's a 10, no much more to say, everyone in Floyd was at top of their game in the studio for the recording of this album.

I laughed with the kind of mexican ranchera intro of Vamos. Everyone knows that Where's my mind is a classic for a reason, great songwriting from a band entering its prime years. Nirvana borrowed a trick or two but Kim Deal's backing vocals make this one way better than what Nirvana did to rule the world (Nevermind) 9/10

Jazz does not interest me in a full LP form. I just need to listen to it more before having a fair judgement

Music is alright, not something I would get out of my way to hear, maybe a greatest hits type of thing.

I had heard Loveless and Nowhere and see elements of that in here, but I prefer more focused lyrics. At times it works especially on the title track. But sometimes I want to hear something I can relate to.

I feel like in the one listen I had it has something to offer but I just can't relate to it. I liked some songs on the first listen but it was more subdued than what I'd want to. And that's fine, but just not for me to listen in a full album.

I'd say that it's a pretty unremarkable album, one that has been lost in time to the wayside of better artists, it has good instrumentation, but I feel like it has a Morrissey wannabe without having the lyrical prowess of Moz. However it does not have the magic of Marr too. Bongos to fill up the sound at times was a good decision. Having synth sax was not, do the real thing.

Great orchestration, it was a soothing experience, but I think I need more time to get it 8/10

A hood classic Nas showing lyrical prowess impressive to his age at the time of recording.

Influential indie rock album from the UK that inspired the mid 90s britpop scene well crafted pop songs, Looking Glass has nice lyrics but the length is not justified. Nice tempo change to finish, impressive drummer to not let it out of control. I had heard this album years ago and while the singles are the strongest of the bunch(There she goes, Feelin) it is a consistent listen. Maybe someone shouldve said Lee Mavers(lead singer/acoustic guitar) to not strum as hard as he did. But maybe that's part of the charm of the band.

Starts strong, but after a while it gets tiring. Maybe that was their intention.

Hotel California is popular for a reason, but it doesn't speaks to me wholly. The singles bang, victim of love verses are alright, but the chorus falters. The rest were okish but without a low light. 7/10

It did not resonate with me, I'd need more listen sessions with lyrics to get it, but probably won't do that. 4/10

This might not be a perfect recording album, there are times where the drummer does not know whether the band is still going and if they need to stop, but it gives it a charm that otherwise it wouldn't have.

It's long winded, but I kinda like it. It was a great introduction to Elliott Smith.

It has it's great moments (Grey Lagoons, Do the Strand), but the experimentation at times put me off. I do like Glam Rock, but this took it farther than what I would've expected, maybe that was the role of Eno in the group. 7/10

Tina Turner is great singer, but this album didn't left me wanting to hear it again.

Jeff Buckley inspired a lot of UK singers to do soulful falsetto (famously Thom Yorke left a Buckley in tears to complete Fake Plastic Trees), Travis was another big band from the era that have kuddos to the great Jeff. Muse too were inspired by the american singersongwriter(Matt Belamy bought Buckley's telecaster 3 years ago) Parachutes is a perfect autumn/winter time album, from the soft landing Don't Panic to the euphoric chorus of Everything's not Lost this is a band that began their way following the steps of their peers, but found more success than the rest. Imagine writing a single about the yellow pages and it becomes the signature song of your band instead of the intended single (Shiver a song about not being noticed, life finds a way to make jokes sometimes). I tried to learn some of the songs in acoustic guitar, but Chris Martin loves tuning the guitars in weird ways(at least true for this album). While I don't like what the band became after Viva La Vida this is an stunning debut. 7/10 Shiver should've been more popular than what it was.

It is fun, but I'm not feeling fun

I will rate it as 9/10 the Sax could get in the voice ways in at least two cuts(girl from Ipanema and some other one from side B), but other than that it was a great soothing listen.

Need more listens, but it was nice to hear Miles and his way of forward thinking ways. 7/10

Engaging at times, too many interludes at others, an update to the Misseducation of Lauryn Hill, but I don't feel it had a unique doo wop(that thing) that is a highlight above the rest of the material. 6/10

I am listening for the second time the album just to confirm my feelings, something I havent felt the need on any of the albums beforehand. In The Flowers is a strong opener, but I dont feel the payoff I expected, the drums are nice. Also Frightened sounds like band was drunk while recording the vocals, or the layering makes me feel like I'm stumbling in a boat. I feel like this album is like an Onion, I just need to keep peeling the layers before I can get it. Daily Routine has a riff after a bit of singing that sounds annoying to me. 22:49 I feel annoyed(this is the bit where the riff is at the forefront) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmmHQpjR8LY (LP rip of the album) Guys Eyes pulls me back in for a little bit. This is my first experience listening to AC, so it's not something that spoke to me in my first or second listens, it is impressive technically speaking, but https://x.com/soocayne/status/1227436682707980290 6/10

Blister in the sun was a banger I knew beforehand, loved this album. Maybe I'd rather not have a slow jam to finish the project, but thats just me nitpicking. Sounds way better than other albums I have heard of the same years and it has no annoying reverb drums that were the bane of the 80's

It started out weird, but with a vibe that I love (surf rock) the Nirvana connection is not as prominent on this one but still you can get some hints of it. All in all a great album. Maybe Stormy Weather should've been more cooked in the lyrical aspect or put out as a B-side.

I am Straight sounds like Marcy Playground, earlier cuts sound like a hybrid of The Doors and VU, it could've been more influential if it was released in 1972 instead of 76. The group that recorded this album went to greener pastures. How strange is that Mr Cale released a cover of Pablo Picasso before the band had their album out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nf5aOrL3sc Other than that, it did not move me. Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) - keys Ernie Brooks (David Johansen) - bass David Robinson (The Cars) - drums Jonathan Richman - vocals, guitar 4/10

This is an influential work that paved the way for hardcore punk, but at times the bass and drums felt out of place, the snarl of Darby led to some lyrics being unintelligible, he was the star of the show when it was clearer, but that's wasn't always the case. Pat Smear plays some interesting stuff in the album. And the final song feels unnecesary long for what it was. But who says you need to be proficient to be good in music? It might not be the most technically gifted group or the best engineering work, and that's what it gives it a character that pop-punk post 90's does not have. 5/10 It won't join my listening playlist but I respect it for what it is, a group channeling chaos

Incredible stuff from Elton, Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding took off at the 3rd minute of the song and it doesnt really takes a breath until Jamaica Jerk-off. Incredible album that its near perfection for example the fake crowd in Bennie and The Jets, the lyrical matter of Jamaican Jerkoff, why is the bass drum that loud in I've Seen That Movie Too? ( https://imgur.com/FbXI0Vo comment from the Youtube upload of that track) after the rest of the instruments get louder it is less noticeable Of the deepcuts that I didnt know Grey Seal stood out as a highlight of the album alongside Bennie and The Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) 9.75/10

Influential, but does not talk to me.

Nice, relaxing, would not pick it again.

I feel like it has a message but it did not reach nor move me. This is the first one I rate one star.

Fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W516wEFmmPE

It's crazy how technology has changed the ways music was recorded, back in the 50's it was set up so the live performance was recorded in studio without overdubs just like the band would do so in a concert hall, if someone made a mistake a take just wouldn't be good enough to be released. In just over 10 years Beach Boys and Beatles would go on to record some incredible albums compared to what was before. Crazy that an album like this(with so many studio session musicians) could only be made nowadays by a major label artist, maybe for the better(?) I've got you under my skin had 22 takes(not all of them were of the full song) before Sinatra was satisfied with his performance, what a bad luck for the trombone player. 6/10

The singles of this album were part of my childhood and early teens (TRL/MTV era) got into the album, knowing pretty well that this project had more than questionable lyrics, but that 1-2 punch of Kill You and Stan is so great that it is almost forgivable. If only the second half of the album didn't feel so damn dragging. Ken Kaniff is one skit too much on a 70+ minute album. Kinda wished that this album came after License to Ill instead of Sinatra in between them. 7/10 Whoever told Em to write The Way I Am and Real Slim Shady after delivering the first draft of the album was the MVP of the project https://youtu.be/eOAiwE48g10

This album is relevant to the list, if I had a complaint is that the harmonica is a tiny bit too loud, maybe mic it better or find some studio musician like the rest of the band, but maybe that's a bit of the charm of Dylan, true perfection can't be perfect. I'd rather listen to an artist cover Dylan, but he's a main player of what came after 1965 so I'll pay him some respect by saying that he was a notch ahead of his peers on the lyrical matters. Maybe put down the harmonica for a while, for the better.

There are 3 songs that I really enjoyed but I don't remember which ones they were. Pretty much an inoffensive Elvis album. Why wasn't Suspicious Minds in this one?

Bowie is a enigma to me, changing the way he sounded with the different records he made, Ziggy Stardust was the start of his chameleon era where he would make characthers for every album. Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust starts with a strong 1-2-3-4 combo and while the middle falters a bit it ends as strong as it begun. Fuck it, I'm giving it a 4.5/5 rounded up to 5 Stars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5no3g4Xbimc

The judge isnt out yet for me, need more listens to give it a fair judgement, its a nice chilly album.

Radiohead was in a weird spot in their young trajectory when it came to record OK Computer, they had two choices either go pop with material like Lift that only got live outings in the bends tour before being tossed aside, I think the band took the right choice on doing something that was unique for its time, but gave an entry point for Coldplay What can be said about Ok Computer that hasnt been said? I like how it ends with a slow down idiot and starts with a car crash it gives it an element of replayability that is a stroke of genious. 9/10 I dont like Fitter Happier -------------------------------------------- Tom York lives in a society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTlZsyas-eI

Every track had me second guessing where will the next turnaround will happen? It's a amazing record of great songs, maybe if Laura was willing to play the game it would've been more recognizable, but as it is it's a great surprise to find if you search for your favourite songwriter's favourite songwriter. https://youtu.be/APZN_uL-z0A Todd Rundgren talks about Laura and how she hated making this album and on the flip side how afterwards her process wasn't as concise to make more music.

Follows the lineage of british pop/rock music of the 90's and early 2000's, where Radiohead, Oasis and Coldplay were kings while being distinct from eachother, the twist is that instead of shakers seen in Paranoid Android, they used the cuica and the clarinet. In theory it should be up my alley, but it feels like a second grade replacement, I would like instead the real thing(is FNM in the list?) please. 5/10

Hypnotic, serves well as background music, Fela Kuti jamming with his band and augmented with Ginger Baker. Whats not to love about this? Maybe not if you want pop songs, but thats not what Kuti did. 9/10

Its a fine album, not one that I love, but understand its position as influential in the following decade. 7/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrFxKY6aFrQ

I felt bored. Nice background music, but most likely won't listen again

A bit too noisy, the moments where feedback weren't painstakingly loud were nice, but that was the minority of the time. Another stepping stone in rock history.

Breathtaking, the more I hear about Jeff the more I wish he didn't take that swim on the Mississippi river. His angelic voice is what most people notice, but the guitar playing on this album is top notch, amazing songwriting. To imagine that Jeff didnt liked his voice at first and only wanted to be known as a guitar player... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYmIlkCgIvU

Before yesterday I didn't knew much about this album besides the three main singles(Setting Sun, Block Rockin Beats and Electrobank), while the third one is better in the full form(it was edited down for single release) I think that this album suffers from the extended runtime gained due to CD being the popular method of album release. Not to say that it was a bad experience, just a tiny bit too long. 8/10 Other than that, what's not to love, I love when the bass was cranked up in the outro of Electrobank https://youtu.be/DS6udW_D5N0

https://youtu.be/A6dw3_Sy3NA 3/5 covers that don't hit as hard as their originals, but I suppose it's historical merit makes it a must listen on this list.

So, the interpolation was clever, but when it was glaring (Elton John's Bennie and the Jets and Coldplay's Fix You) it took me out for a bit, but it wasn't like total turn off. Monks is another highlight than the ones in other reviews. https://youtu.be/_591yozrv9o

I had written a pretty extended review of the album. Kurt playing and control of feedback is top notch(especially on Radio Friendly Unit Shifter). Scentless Apprentice might be the best drum take by Grohl in Nirvana. 8/10 https://youtu.be/riIWXeCYJvw

You Oughta know and Ironic are kind of incapable in terms of popularity and knowledge it's top of Alanis pop powers and deservedly so. It might be a tiny bit too dated but it is still enjoyable. The hidden track gives out a nice coda to the album. 8.5/10 https://youtube.com/shorts/mwd0Ks59Ty8

So, this is an album that even after 31 years it still feels fresh, relatable to youth, maybe a bit of updating some lyrics of Longview about TV to make it about Social Media, but it still talks about coming of age and the dissapointment of growing up. I also played along with the album for a change of pace https://imgur.com/a/Biazjou I need to pratice more guitar

Message in a Bottle starts the album so strong that the rest of the album pales compared to it. The Police know how to do their thing, but by the second side I just want it to be over with. Also the band had to re-record a previously released B-side to fill up the album(the closer No Time This Time was B-side of So Lonely of the previous album). It is more interesting than UB40, has a better single, but other than the opener and closer I dont like much this album. Copeland does have some amazing drumming chops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu5zxlQOfyM

Good singles, tad too long and way too many remixes, could make good studying music or something.

While Fatboy Slim is one of the great players of the Big Beat genere in the UK scene of the 90's/2000s. But, I feel like this album does not feel like an essential release to be on the 1001 list. There are some bangers, but nothing on the level of future albums (You've Come a Long Way, Baby or Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars). Favorite tracks: Going out of My Head, Everybody Needs a 303, The Sound of Milwaukee. The guitar riffs of Santa Cruz sounds like something U2 would do on their 90s albums 7/10 My least favorite moment the slowed down sample of Punk to Funk without anything to cover the fact that it was slowed down. Like nails to chalkboard.

Fun vibes, most songs of this album was about a soccer player. It did not have a stand out moment like Girl from Ipanema but it was great nonetheless. 8/10

It has hints of future things, but hasn't got really everything together 7/10 Space Ghost(RIP) & Bjork https://youtu.be/tVMPL56mdGg

Cool to hear stuff that isn't necessarily from US/UK, it has its moments, but I think it falters like most soundtracks due to not having the source material with it. 6/10

Sugar Kane, Swimsuit Issue, On the Strip and Chapel Hill(the best for me) are the highlights of the album On Orange Rolls, Angel Spit Kim Gordon sounds like the drummer from the band of Scott Pilgrim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoS7b0u79mw

The best Chic album that Chic did not made, or had their name on the sleeve. One thing that made me put it as a 4 star instead of 5 was the running time and Somebody Loves Me, but its a great album nonetheless.

I vibed along with it, but Smooth Operator was such a high that wasnt matched by the rest of the material.

Temecula Sunrise feels like im on a bumpy road and I fall into potholes after getting some traction, I dont know how else to explain it, motion sickness set to music perhaps? Why is the Bride using the same cadence on a different key from Temecula Sunrise. ugh, this one is going to be painful, in theory I like this kind of music but somehow its pissing me off. The high note on Stillness Is The Move would move me more if it was done on a better song Two Doves is a nice break on the album Useful Chamber 5:25 Nah fuck this, I was between a 2 star or 1 but this moment gave me a headache

Stevie knows how to play the harmonica, and in a tastefull way. Superstition, Maybe Your Baby(at least the first half, the second drags a bit), You are the Sunshine of My Life and I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever) are my highlights. Stevie had a great emancipation album, but its not a perfect one

The fact that this was #2 in the charts behind Sgt Pepper blows my mind. A passable pop album, but might not have repeated listens value. Zilch and Band 6 are skits before the term was invented Good album, but not something I'll go back to 6/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUIn9NwIEMM

Can I separate the artist from the alegations? Probably not in this case, good album, but most likely is the only time I'll listen willingfully to a Ryan Adams project. Come Pick Me Up and To be the One shouldnt be together, man fade out into fade in with harmonica does not work 6/10

I actually don't like much SOAD stuff from this album. But it resonates with a lot of people from my generation so they did good, just not for me. Meme time https://youtu.be/__rjo9XZl-g

The adlibs make this album way more fun than if it was just a straight forward Cash performance, Johnny wasn't there to patronize the inmates, just perform his songs and it gives a charm it wouldn't have otherwise

Solid rock album that doesn't try to invent the wheel, at times it's really good(The title track), but there's not enough variation to keep me engaged on it. 5/10

I was reading the reviews when I was listening to this album hayward-s-cayenne's gave me a chuckle as I was at that moment in the album. Other than that the other remarkable thing was the Woody Guthrie impression in New York Town, nice spoken intros, but other than that its just a man with a guitar 4/10

A damn fine jazz instrumental album. I'll be returning to the chicken shack, or at least to the title track. 8/10

I had written a review where I compared the rise of Adele with the RnB/Soul shaped hole that Amy Winehouse and Duffy had left after their big breaks and how Rolling in The Deep was such a catalyst of everything else to come, this album was a savior for the music industry, however as a whole it leaves a lot to be desired, but if you want heartbreak ballads you are in the right place with Adele. Just wish there was a bit more of diversity in the project. 5/10

Great songs I knew beforehand (Caroline, No. Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows), this album was inspired after Brian Wilson heard the US version of Rubber Soul that had a folk/rock sound, but mostly inspired by the use of Sitar in Norwegian Wood and how The Beatles crafted songs with unusual instrumentation. While this album is a great way of displaying that mindset in a full project. The album starts strong, but in the middle it falters, but ends strongly so I'll give it 7/10

I feel like its an album to listen to and relax, but if you asked me to sing out loud I would struggle to sing along with it. Not that it is a bad quality per se.

Breathtaking guitar playing and such unique way of blending Latin infused music with rock.

It feels like an awkward spot between the Life trilogy of albums (Modern Life, Parklife and The Great Escape) and 13. There are great moments in here(Beetlebum, Song 2 and On Your Own), but I feel like the album suffers from experimental stuff that wasn't their forte. A good first step from Damon Albarn into the path that would lead to Gorillaz, but as a whole the album feels uneven. 6/10

Middle point between the early years and losing my religion, they started to pick up alternate instruments (mandolin and accordion). There are good songs in here but as a whole it did not grab me like future REM albums.

Listened to the UK version of the album, features some recognizable songs in the title track and Can't Buy Me Love. It doubled as a movie soundtrack. It's an album by The Beatles, the first with tracks only composed by the group, a lovely album, but not peak Beatles for me

Could be worse, but I feel like this is the British answer to modern lovers. Which I didn't really like. Between one and two stars, would be more enjoyable without the singer

Cool covers, and songs that became famous after they were covered by other artists.
