1001 Albums Summary

I kind of liked the single, but listening to it in the context of the album I was thinking the whole thing was maybe a 3, then I was reminded that this is in the context of album’s you should listen to before you die…

I think I would have enjoyed this album a lot if I had picked it up in the 70's. Stand is a great song, I knew it from Pump up the Volume soundtrack but didn't realize it was Sly's

Not a bad album, no where near a "need" to listen. Another case of a single hit getting an album on a list where the album itself is rather Meh.

I really liked this. Not normally something I would have listened to, but I'm glad I did.

Always liked the cars and I had this album. This is the first one I might give 5 stars as a "Must Listen" making me feel that the whole must listen album thing is just 100% subjective based on your history, not based at all on how good the actual music is. I always found the cars lyrics fun--it's like they'd just make up new uses for words that rhymed wherever needed, this whole album is packed with new uses for old words and weird twisty little phrases that kind of work or might even sound deep if you don't look into them too much.

Lots of great songs, I'm biased though.
