1001 Albums Summary

I have never liked RHCP and listening to this album again just reaffirmed that. 1 star out of 5

Some great tracks. Cohesive, but too many skips for me to give a higher score.

I loved what I listened too but the gaps in the recording grated on my ears so much that I couldn't finish. I'm a new Sarah Vaughan fan though.

This album is interesting. Clearly inspired by Phil Spector, but an awkward middle point between their original surf rock stuff and Pet Sounds. I liked this, but didn't love it.

2.5 Too long and the sketches were awful.

I love the two singles on this album, but the rest just doesn't do it for me.

I want to like Beatles albums a lot more than I do. Singles only.

I've always loved the cover of Hurt, but I never expected to love this whole album as much as I did.

Really interesting, but not for me

2.5

Couldn't finish it. Too much for me.

I want to like this album more because of all the iconic tracks, but the Beastie Boys only really work for me in small doses and moments.

I've just never liked the Foo Fighters

2.5

2.5 A few great tracks, but overall just not for me

2.5

1.5 Yes, I like Paranoid and some of War Pigs, but the rest of the album is just not it for me.

2.5 Great musicianship but too soft jazz/easy listening for me.

I love Ray Charles but this was such an odd choice. Why not include albums with his own material? I don't really want to hear him do standards

I really like the Jam, but this is so, so boring. I have no idea why this would ever be on a list that people need to hear before they die. He has a great voice, but everything else about this album is completely forgettable.

It's Your Thing is one of my all time favourite songs but late 60s and 70s soul just doesn't do it for me the same way as early Motown, etc..

2.5 Always loved the title track but I didn't enjoy sitting through a full 40 minutes of that organ.
