1001 Albums Summary

I have tried to listen to this album soooo many times but every time I get bored. This was probably my 10th listen. Islands and Intro are classics but then the rest gets a little samey. I’ll try it again soon but for now a 3.

I never thought to listen to a full Queen album because I didn't want to undermine the magic of the hits I know with some filler tracks. But hey, this album is very good, of course. Rock opera to the max.

I loved this album in middle school/high school when I was angsty. But the thing about this album is that it goes beyond angst and feeling to achieve some real guitar wizardry.

I had never listened to this album in full but I used to love the song "Bring on the Night," and I still do. I think that song is beautiful! Having this song next to the post-punk vibe of "It's Alright For You" shows the range of the Police. Overall, this album gives me family barbecue vibes -- why? I think maybe we listened to "Message in a Bottle" a lot as a family so it came on for July 4th get-togethers. This was solidified by the hypermasculinist "On Any Other Day," which felt like a song written by a little boy. Glad that Sting wasn't singing this one primarily because it made me feel like it wasn't actually a Police song. Anyway -- because of the strength of a few songs on this album, it gets a three! I don't feel the pull to listen to much of this album again besides "Bring on the Night" really.

There's a handful of songs I LOVE on this album that I already knew. There's a few that I will need to listen to again. I listened to this while doing work, but I enjoyed it most of the way through.

A beautiful album. Singular in its kind! Anohni is a unique singer, and these songs are deeply emotional, exploring gender identity, growing up, and becoming oneself more fully. The picture of a dying yet gorgeous and clearly loved Candy Darling on the cover captures the mix of glamour and tragedy expressed in the songs.

Having this soundtrack my research and writing work today. Track 2 "I Don't Mind" is beautiful. Is giving Beatles more than the Who! I like "Much Too Much." But here we go: My Generation is a classic! The Kids are Alright is strangely emotional. And I love "A Legal Matter;" what a smart song.

Had on in the background as I made breakfast. Enjoyable for that reason, but did not grab me!

One of my favorites!!!!! Love Tori, love this album.

He creates such unique atmospheres despite founding himself on many blues tropes.
