Album was a surprise. Last 2 tracks hit hard for me. A complete album with enough variance in style. Way more fun than I anticipated.

Listened to the Bowie mix. Grew on me over time. Latter half of the album much more appealing. I don't expect to relisten to this album multiple times, but I really appreciate it for what it is.

Been over 10 years since I've listened to this album. Wondered quite a bit how much Father John Misty has been influenced by it. It's so atmospheric and enjoyable to listen to.

Nice collection of songs. Doesn't capture me like a Beatles album would but interesting to get some unfiltered Lennon.

Audio is incredible. For a live recording I can't understand how an album can sound this good from its time. The banter between the songs is worth the listen alone.

Brutal listen. Had to take a break halfway through. Wanted this album when I was 10, glad I didn't purchase it. Musically and lyrically impressive, but I never want to go through that again.

Something very much outside my usual taste profile. I struggle with the idea that this is one of the "greatest albums of all time." Beautiful voice, but this just rings like 90's coffeehouse music.

Fun. Instrumentals are worth the listen alone. Familiar with the hits but not the full album. Don't think I'll return to it, but again, fun.

Kind of interesting how the tone shifts from song to song. Some tracks with sci-fi atmospheric vibes, others afro Caribbean, but everything is fun and somehow flows together well. Listened to the extended version which has live songs as well which are enjoyable. Don't think there was a single song that dragged, an excellent album.

The production value is pretty incredible. Delicate but wonderfully layered. Love the strings and the background vocals. An easy 35 minute listen. Not my music, but I can appreciate it for what it is.

A perfect album. I loved every minute of this. The balls they had to open with the first son, astounding! The way the vocals play off with each other, the organ sound in the background. It's so soulful and unique. Can see how this influenced so many bands to come.

Much preferred to the Arena rock they become later. A fun album with a distinct sound. "Soft" a standout track. Would give it 3.5 stars if I could.

Enjoyed this album quite a bit. I think there's an alternate universe where I picked up these albums in my younger years and became a pixies fan. Listening now in 2025, I'm impressed with how this albums stands the test of time.

Wild how many hits are on this one. I'm a sucker for the tracks with harmonized vocals. Came away liking the lesser known tracks. I get the hype but don't expect to return to it.

Apparently I like grunge now. Never heard of this band before but after giving the album a listen I immediately wanted to replay it. It's raw and rough around the edges, and I quite enjoyed it.

These types of albums are why this project is so much fun. A lot of standout tracks and music I never would be exposed to otherwise. A fun listen.

Explosive and layered. Vibrant and unrelenting, it's a fun listen.

Exhausting but excellent.

"If you were a horse, I'd clean the crap out of your stable."

Enjoyable. Impressive. Not my music, but it has its moments.

I wanted to dislike this album at first but then I realized it's just an 80s vampire weekend album.

Some great tracks here. Not a lot to say outside of happy to have listened to a full kinks album now.

I can understand why this album is beloved. There's a lot of range here as well, not a 1 tonal album.

A near perfect album. I'll never get tired of it.

Excellent album. Didn't realize how many tracks I was already aware of. Would listen to it again.

Having a hard time deciding what to rate this one. Songs are enjoyable, but there's some dead weight on the album. Makes me think Noah and the Whale were inspired quite a bit by them.

I think if this album came out today people would be pretty behind it. Having only ever heard the hits before, I quite enjoyed it. An album to be listened to with good headphones, as the dynamics and sound mixing is really excellent.

Seems to be beloved by critics, but didn't grip me. The live tracks have excellent audio quality and I like the covers, but I won't return to this album.

The back half of this album is so much better than the front half. Goes from totally forgettable tracks to a really solid last 4 starting with "Afternoon Tea". So much of this album is forgettable unfortunately.

An enjoyable album. Sound mixing is truly excellent, and it's indeed a really tightly bound collection of songs. I was late to the radio head party as I was originally more into Muse, but it's been fun to rediscover what makes them excellent.

Had no idea the cultural resonance this album had. Also couldn't have named a Frampton song if you had asked me to. I can see how this was a pretty incredible listen for people at the time. The riffs and solos are enjoyable, but I cNt say that I truly connect with the songs themselves.

Had no idea this was Jeff's father. Fascinating listen. Also an interesting Wikipedia profile. Album is certainly unlike anything I've heard before and his voice can be chilling. Would be a 3.5 for me if I had the option.

Incredible album. Not a single bad track. One of the absolute highlights of this endeavor so far. Lyrics, sound, pacing- all perfect. I cNt believe I've never heard of this album/band before.

I get this is a historically important album, and appreciate the significance and individual sound, but did I enjoy it? Some tracks, definitely. But I'm afraid I don't get the hype.

So I guess I've listened to "Freak Folk" now. It's fine. I don't think a single track grabbed me in any appreciable way.

Galactically decadent. I've listened to this album so many times with joy. Was absolutely delighted when it popped up this morning. It's a perfect example of being experimental while still delivering somethings that's crisp and catchy. Muse had a flair for the over dramatic and were one of the few bands at the time who could get a way with it. The space western you never new you needed. I challenge anyone to listen to Knights of Cydonia and not feel something.

Started this on a Monday, needed to get to a Tuesday to finish it. Rough listen. Can see why it's so influential, and wild how tracks can pump your blood despite this album coming out in 1994. I won't return to it, but not because of quality. Listening to this album feels a bit masochistic.

There is a wonderful song on this album, and an equally atrocious one as well. Feels pretty dated as a whole. Listening with 2025 ears is an experience. This albums is a solid 2. It's not terrible, but it's not necessarily good.

I recently completed the game Tunic (released 2022) and it felt like the soundtrack was almost a carbon copy of this album. Seems most AI generated dreamcore uses this album as a baseline for sound as well. It's a testament to how well this album has aged. I'm not accustomed to listening to this type of music in album form but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Struggling between a 4 or a 5, but considering I'd be open to relistening and it's completely out of my usual taste profile, I think it warrants a 5 purely off the track for track quality. It's a versatile and multifaceted album that I couldn't help but connect with.

This is an excellent album. No question. Worthy of the hype. There are tracks here that are truly ascendant that warrant a five star rating. It's technically incredible, versatile, and an undeniably pleasant listen. I would agree with a bit of the modern day sentiment that it's a bit bloated. There are tracks that feel out of place, overly long, etc. That being said, I'm a walking contradiction as "As" is an all time favorite of mine. Thankful I had the opportunity to listen to this in its entirety. I can't help but wonder what this album would be like if reduced by a third.

The album's delightful. I especially enjoy the tracks that fully utilize the horn section. Interplay between keyboards and bass are also gorgeous. Would be a 3.5 for me, but seeing as I'll likely never return to it, 3 stars on the 1001 album scale.

Though this album is packed, every track finds it's place. One of the few hip hop albums I found myself actively following along lyrically. The range of influence permeates throughout, easily one of the more worldly inspired rap albums I've ever heard. The kind of album that embodies it's "golden age of hip-hop" designation. 4 stars as the mixing is a bit all over the place? Maybe an issue with the album digitization/transfer to streaming.

Impressive for it's time, but I couldn't help but find some of the tracks as well as the lead singer's voice a bit grating. Familiar with Brian Eno so was intrigued when I read he was the original keyboardist. It's a technically sound album and I can appreciate the experimental nature of it all, but not an album I'd want to return to.

I had to check if my headphones were defective, but apparently this album was recorded inside of a sardine can? The mix is bad. I'm not a metal head but I appreciate it. I can imagine when this album came out it made waves. But with 2025 ears I can't help but feel like I'm listening to Stone Cold Steve Austin's walk up music. If Napster is still around, I'd encourage you to find this album there.

A nice palate cleanser after Metallica. Can feel that this record is produced by Brian Eno. Lots of variation between songs and some have the ability to transport you. Listened to the remastered version and it was very much worth it.

I've had a few albums recently where the mixing was quite atrocious. My first foray into the dire straights and I find myself marvelling at how expertly balanced the sound is. I was only familiar with "Sultans of Swing" before, but "Wild West End" is worth the album listen alone. Again, I cant overstate how crisp, clean, and deep this album sounds.

I saw her live once at a festival. Picked up and left after a few songs. Wish I could have done the same with this album. At no point did I find it engaging or enjoyable. My first 1 star album.

Maybe some of the best instrumentals I've heard on a hip hop album? Never listened to a Kendrick Lamar album before but I'm glad I had the opportunity to. Each song feels really expertly crafted. I likely won't return to this album, but I loved the listen.

I didn't hate it. But I didn't love it. A relaxing album, makes sense that Sgt. Pepper won album of the year over it however.

Didn't click for me. Dated and not in a fun way. There are a few redeeming tracks, but I can't say I'd ever want to return to this album, let alone artist.

Hard album for me to rate honestly. There are so many incredible tracks here. But listening with 2025 ears and an attention span that's not what it used to be, I can feel some of the double album fluff. I was incredibly excited to get through this, as I had only ever heard the greatest hit albums in my teens. "Down by the seaside" turned into a lovely surprise, and it's astonishing how many big hits are on this album. But the fluff remains. Due to personal taste, the heavily blues influenced tracks don't do as much for me. Would rate 3.5 stars if I could.

Fun. Found myself bopping along. Wonder what these shows would have been like live.

My first Black Sabbath album. Pretty impressive and I can appreciate the range on this album. Makes me curious to hear their earlier stuff, as I admittedly take to the more metal tracks of the bunch.

What an excellent album. Each track has a unique feel, and the instrumentation is really outstanding. Strings, horns, slide guitar, what more could you want? Absolutely delightful. Somehow I missed this album in my teenage years. Glad I didn't miss out on it all together.

This album grew on me quite a bit. Listened to the 16 track version on Spotify. There are some tracks that don't do much, but the ones that do are quite impactful. Couldn't help but think that it was the band behind Elvis that truly shines on this album. Songs like "Any Day Now" really shine. Sound quality is also really excellent.

Depressing stuff. Made me feel quite anxious throughout. I guess that's the goal here. I can see how this is important for grunge history. Just not important for me.

This is an album I'm supposed to love, but I don't. Sound design is fun and exciting but kind of forgettable at the same time. This album, style, genre, whatever you want to call it, simply doesn't resonate for me. An interesting listen but nothing I'll want to return to.

I liked it more than I expected, but not my taste generally. I wonder how future generations will find Brit Pop. Growing up in the states I wasn't exposed to much of it in the 90s so I have no nostalgic connection. In a vacuum, it's a good album that takes some nice risks, but simply not my genre of choice.
