Deeply emotional, made me think of a number of later musicians, has much love within, perfect guitar compositions as well and experimental and psychedelic stuff. The Beatles do amaze me, a remarkable masterpiece to embark on my musical journey.
Not exactly my cup of tea but it did sound professional and a couple of tracks were of some interest.
A remarkable album indeed. I am a fan of Moby sounds, however this one had some fillers I did not enjoy much. Still, the album has a number of classic tracks that I can listen for years.
Turned out not to be my genre. There was a couple of tracks that sounded perculiar, but all in all this one failed to resonate with me.
This one's a great masterpiece. Both starts and ends with 10/10 compositions. "Walk On By" turned out to be the source of the instrumental part of one of my favourute tracks. Outstanding feeling of music, deep emotion, beautiful spoken word in the last track. This recording is exceptional and it can be felt throughout the 45-munute disc that you are listening classic stuff.
This record possesses a number of purely talented and powerful songs, including the opener "Son of Sam" and "Can't Make A Sound". While sometimes it sounds protrected, the album seems to encompass both rocky songs and more subtle and tender pieces. Wouldn't re-listen it in full, but the better part of the album makes it a 3.7/10.
Considerable amount of songs that feel filler but there is a number of decent ones, plus the overall feeling thia record provides is a sort of smoothness, joy, but also light melancholy.
This record has good sides and bad ones, making it a decent but by no means an outstanding work. A few compositions do make a great use of guitar and possess much energy, while others are merely boring or mediocre. The latter mostly include 'soft' tracks. "Hit the Plane Down" and "Unfair" would be my picks for this album, while "5-4=Unity" deserves a special mention as a worthwhile instrumental. Long story short, average one with exceptions.
For the most part of the album, it was questionable if I want to continue at all. Last several tracks were better, while the overall impression of the recording is average and by no means GOAT.
The noisy style of the band turned out to be unrewarding throughout the album. All tracks sounding more or less the same, it felt more like a mess than a thoroughly crafted record. A one-time listen.
Most of the songs fade out if compared with the album's hit. I'd single out the outro song "Gold Dust Woman". However, almost all of tye other songs are forgotten once you finish them. Essentially a one-hit record.
Trippy, relaxing, good for background listening while still amusing when focusing on details. The extended length of the tracks adds up. Numerous beautiful musical decisions throughout the record. Quite possible that I will return to Future Days later.
A few tracks were of interest while the most part of the album was relaxating kind of light music which may deliver if you enter the mood but is overall by no means outstanding. 2.7/10.
An outstanding album with lots of tasteful songs. Both singing and the guitar are used in a way that makes the music enjoyable. While the exact genre varies within the record, it just makes you feel good, empowered with humanity and compassion, as well as sheer talent. Definitely a good album worth relistening.
This one receives three stars of five as a good work but not very bright throughtout its A-Side. In fact, the best moments I recall after getting to know the records are from the ending tracks.
Fav track (by far): To Have And To Hold. This one is immediately on repeat.
The album gets five stars for its impressive juicy big/break beats making each and every track energetic and reminding me of Prodigy and Fatboy Slim. Favourite track: Leave Home.
A smooth recording overall with some songs worth adding to one's collection, but can't be characterized as a truly outstanding record.
Favorite track: "'97 Bonnie & Clyde". In its genre, this records seems both historically significant and stylistically peculiar. There are some beats worth one's attention, just as there are moving lyrics. Eminem is indeed a notable hip-hop artist and this LP serves a good reminder about why the man's become such a star.
I have to rate this 1/5 (and 1/10 if we used 10 stars) but I must say that this kind of experimental music takes courage as it in fact explores the limits of what music is. Most of the album is not, but my favourite track on it, "Kollaps", not only isn't bad. In fact, I enjoyed it. This is more of a performance than a musical album, and given the tragedies of the 20th century, the German history in particular, this effort makes sense. It's bad, but I do not hate it.
I found myself surprisingly unfamiliar with Jimi's legacy. This disk is brillint rock'n'roll. Hardly has songs on it that did not surprise me with the guitar playing or his vocals. It's both smartly crafted and exceptionally pleasing to the ear. Hands down, a masterpiece album here.
Favourite song: Little Wing.
Brilliant album. I basically enjoyed every muniye of it. Highly energetic, with rapping that reminds of the RATM.
Liked how the album begins with a heavy song and then switches to more delicate tracks. Generally a high-quality one.
Impressive. The record includes much crazy stuff with the vocals, the drums, the guitar, smart use of pauses and more. The band was crearly pushing the limits of then-current music. This can be felt as late as fifty-five years later. Well-deserved five of of five here. Fav song: Child in Time.
The first half of the album is heavenly, but the second does not lose grip much.
Has some rewarding songs here and there but I couldn't say that the recording overall was very bright. That's the style of this band anyway.
Perhaps a milestone record at its time, it makes me feel not all of potential was used, with many songs on the album not too bright. 3.4/10.
Songs are elegantly connected and feel as a one long track essentially. In this sense, the record feels seamless. The mysic style feels fit for some cozy dinner at the restaurant down the street. I would not relisten this often, so the album marks a decent work appropriate for some niche uses.
Soothing one. There are certain good songs while others are just a decent background. As the 1001 list should have stricter criteria, I'll give it 3.4 thus 3 on the five-star scale. Favourite song: "Blue Skies".
The opening couple of tracks were not bad and the last called "Second Time Around" is interesting to a certain degree, but for the most of the duration, I could not feel that the record is a GOAT. I'll call "Rock Me Baby" my fav on this album and give it two stars; the punk/use of dissonance did not really deliver.
Awkwardly, the record begins with energetic and virogous sonds and has a couple at its end. The middle is very monotonous, I found nothing worth returning to it ever on future. I'm rating this 2.5 stars because the albums on the list should be the goats.
The album starts awkwardly restrained but shines later on. My favourite tracks here would be 'Go It Alone' & 'Rental Car'. The record is really diverse, and as you approach the last part, you already know it's worth relistening later. To me, it was unusual and truly delivering with some of its tracks. Nice one.
Quality soul music. I'd rate it five were it to be even more amusing and exceptional from the sound perspective. Anyway, a record worth listening.
At first, I was thinking of rating "Goodbye And Hello" higher, but Side Two did not really made it. The album is lyrics-centered, begins with energetic compositions such as No Man Can Find the War and Pleasant Street (my No. 1 pick on this album), but is not as special later on. The title song feels like a few songs incorporated in just one, to a degree which is a bit awkward. Still, I enjoyed the listen, but cannot rate it higher than 3.0.
Aight I'm rating this three out of five but in reality it is more of two-and-a-half kind of album. There is some bright stuff on the record, but some 2/3 of the material feels either monotonous or mediocre, i.e. such that I would not relisten or consider any GOAT. My picks for this one are "Children of the Korn" and "B.B.K." Also, there are parts where the voices are outrightly disgusting to a degree, but I'd consider it part of the group's style.
Frankly, the album's highly boring, monotonous, and I have no idea why it is on the 1001 list. What is ut in the music or the vocals that, accoeding to the list authors, makes it one of the best in the history of music? It is indeed not. I can hardly remember a song immediately after listening to this. I believe this is the first album among the 32 that I have listened up until now which does not have a single song I could add to my playlists. Such entries honestly make me dissappointed about choosing to listen to the list. Well, we will see how that goes further.
I'd rate this three stars if the 1001 albums list wasn't claiming to have picked up the all-time best music. Now, the album is certainly quite energetic, and I really liked "Big Ten Inch Record" and most of the mid-album tracks, but I cannot help realising that I was just basically wait for it to finish and be thankful that it is not a one-hour record. Besides, it might have been significant at the release time, given its date of publication. But I have stricter rating policy here, so it get just two.
As an electronic music fan, I am have a ton of prejudice in favour of this album, but it is truly great. First of all, it has an established reputation of a defining record, almost a sacred one at this point. Fatboy Slim truly goated this, and I've known the hits of the album for years. But those that are haven't are not bad either. The first half of the album is generally full of masterpieces, while I found "Acid 8000" a great track that will make one dance for sure, otherwise they must be dead. Can't rate this less than five as the album brings pure joy, is highly influantial, in fact it is an industry standard for beatmaking and sampling. To conclude, that's great, I love it and will definitely re-listen at least the most part of YCaLWB.
A cozy record, but as you progress, it sounds increasingly repetitive. My pick would be "Adam Raised a Cain".
