1001 Albums Summary

Very surprised. PROS Guitar melody Of the time Bright Flow CONS Not much diversity

I own this CD. Long album. Would rate higher if it was a proper album (no jams). It was rated higher as a whole because of the quality of jams and the musicians involved.

As Pearl Jam sang on Vitalogy, this is not for you!

I own this CD Absolute classic!

I own CD. Opens strong with 2 hits. Jazzy, bluesy, soulful. Album has good flow. Interesting (soundtrack) interludes - good but not necessary. Love Africano - groove and jam

NOPE.

Poetic. Strong lyricism. Minimalistic. Stays with you..

A great journey.

Really enjoyed this. Hard to rate (all albums) after one listen, actually not fair to artists. Will definitely revisit this one, a lot going on. Strong take on religion.

Too quirky for repeated listens. Doesn’t speak to me. Production seems more important than the songwriting. Peeled the whole onion in one listen.

I own this CD. One of my favorite Sabbath albums. Love the riffs and jams. Guitar tone is awesome. Jazz influence is welcomed. Not down with world view lyrics.

Too political and preachy. Puts me on edge. Once is enough, one and done. Will not stand up over time.

Real Jazz. Sonny Rollins on sax - so good. Deep but also relaxing. So atmospheric.

I own this CD. Great production. Somber. Music is moody and beautiful - Saxaphone is gorgeous. I love the jazz movements mixed with melody. Lyrics are sad and tragic. Much discussion and many questions. Favorite tracks: Lazarus, Dollar Days, and I Can't Give Everything Away

I own this CD. Get Up You are the Everything I Remember California all made my mix tapes of the day! More produced than their previous albums due to the fact this was their first record with Warner Bros (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I especially like the rock of Orange Crush and Turn You Inside-Out. Not my favorite R.E.M. albums but would probably land in the top 7. Untitled is my favorite untitled song ever, well maybe a tie with the Smashing Pumpkins.

Heavy listening. Very minor key but good dynamics. Guitar good throughout but love solo in Hate to Feel. The cover reflected my listening experience. I enjoyed the album but I would need to be in a very specific mood to listen to this and this would be a mood I wouldn't frequent very often.

I own this CD. The last of the "early albums" and not my favorite - that award goes to Life's Rich Pageant. There are a number of things I like about this album starting with guitar. I also like the second 1/2 of the album starting with The One I Love. I also like Lightnin' Hopkins, King of the Birds, and Fireplace. The first 1/2 has good R.E.M. songs, I just think they are average R.E.M. songs.

Musically- no surprises. Lyrically- irreverent. Sounds like a drunken family get together to “discuss” politics.
