1001 Albums Summary

This album is probably one of the best examples of "the 70s rock" sound

I see how this album influenced many singers-songwriters who came after. Not where my music taste is at the moment, but 10 years ago I'd have eaten it up. Maybe with time I'll revisit it.

I've never actually listened to a full Black Sabbath's album, and I don't think I've ever heard stuff from their debut. For some reason, I expected it to be kinda scary. But it wasn't! It was very atmospheric and almost pensive. A nice surprise.

This Oasis fan won't switch sides! I get why people like Blur, I get why people prefer Blur to Oasis, I get why Blur is often called more cerebral than Oasis (still, the most cerebral Britpop band is surely Pulp?). I do like many Blur songs. But I just don't connect with them enough.

I don't remember if I listened to the full thing before or not. The highs are high, but a there are a few songs I didn't care about at all. Still, very good, very of its time sound-wise.

I come back to this one from time to time. On some days, I love everything about it, on others I much prefer the second half. Warszawa is a masterpiece. Berlin Trilogy is a thing that needs to be explored and re-visited.

Intense experience. I don't think it's my favorite Cure album, though.

Oh, a nice classic crooning! Haven't listened to a Richard Hawley album, although heard a lot about him, and heard some collabs. Not really my thing, but if the mood is right, why not.

It seems like nowadays listening to Steely Dan equals to having a bad taste. Not sure why. Probably because a random person online said something about it. Anyway, it's a nice album and very of its time.

It's not uninteresting, and I'm sure there are lots of people who think that's what Pink Floyd should have been throughout their entire career. But this music is too claustrophobic to be really popular. They took what worked and what they've learned here and went outward with their sound.

Genuinely never heard of this one.

Just a thought I had while listening: I really didn't pay attention how many songs there used to be with lyrics like "you're so young", "you're so innocent" and so on. Feels creepy now.

Good album for a road trip.

Country music that took drugs

Coldplay's best album. I won't change my mind.

I do like when an album name tells you exactly what you're about to listen

I wasn't feeling it. A very long album with no memorable songs. The singing is great, but it's usually is from Bee Gees.

This is complicated because I didn't like it at first, but then listened to the live versions and liked them much more.

I expected to like this a bit more. Some alternative takes on the deluxe edition were more enjoyable than those that ended up on the album.

Didn't connect with it at all

I expected to like this more.

I know this is a revered album, but I was never able to connect with it. Was it the "world music" infusion that makes people so into it? I always thought Western musicians toying with "world music" only presents it as inferior to American / British.

Look, I get it, but to me, it's an album for the head and not for the heart.

I love KD Lang, but not sure if this one in particular is the album everyone has to hear
