I’m familiar with this album first hearing it in high school. I still think it is their best ‘speed metal’ album although not nearly as popular as the black album a few years later because it is much less radio friendly. It brings an energy that would be hard to produce later in their career. Master of puppets I took as about drug use has always been one of my favorites songs from them. The album is high energy and requires an hour of adrenaline to be available. The guitars on disposable heroes is fantastic FYI From Spotify about the band Metallica formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield and has become one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands in history, having sold 120 million albums worldwide and generating more than 15 billion streams while playing to millions of fans on literally all seven continents. Metallica has also garnered numerous awards and accolades, including nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009. In December 2013, Metallica made history when they performed a rare concert in Antarctica, becoming the first act to ever play all seven continents all within a year, and earning themselves a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records. Metallica’s twelfth studio album 72 Seasons was released on April 14, 2023

I’m not sure if I previously listened to the whole. It contains some of their most famous songs. U2 always delivered a great balance between pop and rock, political and personal. Some of the less popular songs that I enjoyed were seconds, 40 (fairly popular) and refugee

I’ve never been a big fan of REM ever since seeing them live in 1985 (on tour for probably their worst album, for me, fables of the reconstruction). I never really understood the appeal. They always seemed too obvious and at the same time too obtuse, trying to be clever). This is probably the first time I have listened to the entirety of this album. Obviously it has 3+ of their biggest hits and therefore probably deserves to be on a greatest album list because of that but otherwise for me it has overplayed songs and songs that I’m not particularly enamored of. I could have this on in the background and not be annoyed but wouldn’t actively seek it out again.

Bob Marley’s voice sounds very good at this moment. The songs are good but like a fair amount of reggae music can be somewhat repetitive. The version of no woman no cry is nice to hear and different than their more usual version from legend. Great album that I’ll listen to again

First time listening this album. Overall, very good production and good sounding quality consistently through the whole album. Couple of radio friendly songs that became huge successes. Several other good songs. They tend to go on a little longer than I love, but overall interesting album. couple of songs, which I was not familiar with that I enjoyed include green eyes and rush of blood to the head. Enjoyed the album and would listen to it again at some point

Never heard this album before but certainly very familiar with all the songs and the who. I listened to the 6 title original album. Had to create my own playlist on Spotify. The only versions Spotify had were the extended versions. Sometimes a concise high energy lineup listens better. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/49FOLFw33KMpZqbw2UEnxD?si=HBboCYpiTKWKOLMi8Zt9qA&pi=u-w5qRuUUmSyy_ Definitely will listen again. High energy live album with fantastic drums

Nope. I didn’t enjoy anything about this experience. I don’t have any friendly thoughts about this album or band at this point in their career. Maybe a vague less genuine and likable version of David Bowie which I assume is why this is on this list because the author has a fondness of all things Bowie. But this isn’t good for anyone. I feel like I need to take a shower after listening to this just to get it off me. They say that you can’t unsee things but I hope age will give me the kindness's of unhearing this album. 🤮 Sylvia was okay

Enjoyed it. It has been a while since I’ve listened to most of this album and reminds me of the violent femmes and butthole surfers in some of the later tracks on the album. I remember playing gigantic on WEGL in fairly high rotation. I enjoy ‘where is my mind?’ and is one of the pixies songs that more frequently makes it onto my random playlists Not a fan of cactus.

Never heard this album before. I guess the English version of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with a rotating cast of musicians. The music sounds like it should have been released 5 years earlier. Good music. I would listen again if in the mood for bob Dylan with a better voice. I don’t think I’d put this on my 1001 list honestly.

The white stripes make a lot with a little. Well produced to sound not too produced. Some really good songs that are unique and instantly recognizable as theirs. I enjoy them and feel they fill that I’m feeling sorry for something vibe. Definitely will continue listening to them and this album

Understand why this album is on the list but I like my metal with a bit more self awareness and humor. Much of these songs lyrically are very similar which is kind of what defines this band but I think the best parts of this album are when the musicians are playing. I liked regular people. Generally something I only listen if someone else really likes this type of metal.

Good album. I like this album but no standout songs to me. Enjoyable band in concert. A few of the songs sound like Springsteen’s songs in a good way. Enjoyed keep the car running , Antichrist tv blues and no car go

I love the idea of Nick Cave and the post punk movement but this album is just slow angst and anger. I think this could have worked if the album was 42 mins long and better mastered or was more upbeat arc

Good listening. Enjoyed it. Nice mix of musical instruments and styles

I like this album. I’ve never listened to the whole thing before but am familiar with almost all the songs. Less energy than their first album but right up there with that one because of the more complex transitions and concepts. Didn’t realize that it was a concept album

What a great trip down memory road of the early 90’s when this type music was brand new. Very much enjoyed listening to this album

Enjoyable. A bit too twangy western for a regular listening session but still good and Fogerty initial work

Very enjoyable. Glad I listened. Will listen again and add some of these songs to other playlists

Love this album. Great energy. Didn’t hear it the first time around but by 90 was enjoying it

Interesting. I’ve never heard of this album nor heard any of the songs on it. I guess it was not promoted and no singles were released. I remember hearing that the lead singer was difficult and that there was a bunch of turnover in the band. I think the album is good and enjoyable but I’m not sure I’d put it on this list. I’ll listen to again especially the second song.

Wow! Not sure what to think of this grandiose project. It had humor but didn’t really feel developed and fully maturated. It seemed more a collection of 69 poems. Most of these had clever wordplay and quirky twists but musically felt underdeveloped, more analogous to a poem with imagery and simple rhymes but musically had oversimplified repetitive melodies. I don’t think I’d ever want to listen to this album in its entirety again but the subjects and ‘songs’ are interesting and quirky enough that individually I wouldn’t mind hearing them again. Interestingly most of these songs are not love songs but more unloved songs. I’m not convinced based on these songs that the singer ever has been in love but these feel like a bunch of painful separations without deeper love and passion.

Wow! Great album. I’ve heard most of the songs but what a great album together! Definitely worth many a listen and deserves to be on this list

Good album. Fun to listen to but not really sure that this is one of 1000 best albums

Tight arrangements and well produced sounding album of 70’s blended jazz. I never heard this album previously but will definitely add it to my collection of listening music. Probably more of a background relaxation mood album for me but definitely worth listening to again
