1001 Albums Summary

Huge nostalgia trip. It was fun to revisit an album I bought 20 years ago and gain a new appreciation for it. There were lots of great moments on it that I'd forgotten. I'm not surprised they turned it into a musical.

I listened to the first track of the Bowie version and found the constant fading in and out super distracting. Then I listened to the Iggy Mix, and understood why this album is called RAW POWER.

After the first song, everything sounds the same. The first listen I completely blanked out the last half, and the second time I was begging for it to end so I could play something with more variety. Green Onions is a great song but it's not a great album.

Went into it expecting dad rock, could not have been more wrong.

It's definitely maybe a 2 from me.

Some classics, some new favourites, some forgettable tracks. Will come back to it in the year 2000.

I thought it was interesting and worth the listen. It clearly had a big influence on musicians that came later. Unfortunately, I found Jane Birkin's vocals too distracting to regularly revisit it. MELODY.... NELSON.

I liked it, but I thought it was a little disjointed in the middle. I listened to it a couple of times and felt there weren't any standout moments but it was consistently enjoyable and interesting.

It's another Green Onions. Let's Stay Together is a great song but it's not a great album.

I think I tend to rate things too high when they're in genres I'm unfamiliar with. I read a couple of the other reviews and one referred to it as "standard issue for all cab drivers" which is hilarious and very accurate. Very enjoyable listen but not something that I'd regularly come back to.

I could only listen to two tracks because the rest wasn't on Spotify ☹️

Expected 90s rap bangers and it delivered and then some in the most unexpected way. But it was obviously going to be great because it came out when I was born.

It's fun to listen to these albums and discover songs that were sampled by songs I know well. M.E. and Cars are great.

Nothing special.

Some fantastic songs, but some forgettable stuff on the back half.

It's fun for the vibe.

The White Stripes have made some great songs, but they're not on this record.

Some of their best work, and some of their most mundane. Does not feel like a cohesive album, and certainly doesn't justify being a double album.

Boring country music.
