1001 Albums Summary

Knew a lot of their stuff, but never really sat down to listen to their debut album in whole. Definitely understand why they are considered legends.

Loved the random yelling and noises from what I assume was audience. Piano is beautiful but second or third one was too repetitive.

I liked it. Straight up jazz.

Never been a huge fan of theirs. I do get the importance and influence they had on music just not for me.

Classic for a reason. Gets repetitive tho. All songs just bleed into each other.

It's chill background music. Liked it but it gets way to repetitive for continuous listening

Classic for a reason

Funky fun stuff. Love it

Not for me

Great background music for bbqs

Old school cool. Great stuff.

Icon for a reason. Incredible voice even towards the end. Mostly covers but all amazing.

Fun stuff. Classic rock. Classic soul. Great voice

Always thought aha shake was the first one, but realized I have heard most of these throughout the years. It's incredible to think how they started vs how the sound now. Definitely recommend this one, even if you hate their new sound. This is gritty, dirty, straight up rock. Vocals aren't polished, music is catchy but not poppy. Great stuff.

Pretentious. Not for me.

I find her voice hypnotizing. Had not heard this album, only a couple songs like cellophane, which I love, but never took time to check out the rest.

Ahead of their time for sure. Great stuff

Masterpiece.

It's fine. Very 90s. Not my style even thought I grew up in the 90s...

Complete surprise this one. Never heard of it, them, or anything related. Dug it. Cool bass lines.

It's ok. Heard better from him. Didn't quite do it for me.

Had never actually listened to the whole thing. I am a 90s teen so definitely maybe knew most of their songs... Sorta repetitive, cool music.

Breezy beautiful voice and music. Easy listening

Not bad. Sad to see the joke they became. Generic white guy funk.

What? So far four songs I was very familiar with but had no idea who sang them. Digging this a lot . Definitely going back to this album on a regular basis

Not my favorite of his. Maybe if I was there in person and high as a kite

Get why people like them but he just seems ok to me. All songs sound similar...

A masterpiece. Everything about this album is perfection.

Nice background music

Not my kind of jam. Cool and old school country.

Far ahead of the curve. Incredible album

Meh. Did not care for this one.

Beautiful harmonies and songs

It's the kind of album musicians love. But I don't.

Love her voice. Lover her style. I am in my mid 40s yet her music hits a certain way with me.

One of the best. Love the style.

Fun album. Knew some songs but a lot of them were nice surprises

Great stuff. Easy accessible jazz.

Refuse to give him any listens

Not my jam but cool music.

Started off great. Got repetitive

Amazing

Heard free bird and simple man. Had no idea the whole record was a banger. What a debut

Had no idea gangsters paradise was taken from this album. Funky stuff. Liked it

Very generic 90s pop. Not for me.

It was fine

A classic

Alright is a great song. Rest is meh

Sounds like the same songs over and over. Great vocals but music is bland

Like the first three way more

A masterpiece

Not for me

The music makes it sound like someone signing karaoke...

Start of their down fall. First albums are amazing. This one has some bangers but it is when they became way to unserious

No notes. 10 out of 10

Very 90s and very cool

Teenage me was very happy for this listen.

Nope

Have tried to get into Elliot for decades. I love Oberst, jose gonzalez, Daniel J, and others. I am all about singer song writer style of music but Smith has never appeared to me. Not sure what it is...

Great surprise!!!

Not for me

Beautiful jazz

Knew some songs, ready to ice it a three star rating... then Moving away from the pulse came in and elevated this album for me to a four. Damn that song is brilliant.

Love this

Had never heard this before. Really great stuff

Goth classic

Not my favorite of theirs. Somewhat different sound that I do not like as much. Some good singles tho

Generic rock

Dislike this band with a passion. Hard pass.

One of my wife's favorite. More of a Cure guy myself.

Dislike this band

Meh. Classic stoner rock

Masterpiece. Such a groundbreaking album

Grungy and awesome

Meh

It seems like unfinished songs mostly. Fun stuff but not his best

Not my type of thing and didn't get the appeal

Love love love this album

I hate the fucking eagles, man...

Very surprised by this one. Was not expecting him to sound this good at that age and especially right before dying...

This has to be a joke

Pretty generic 70s rock. Better than the high pitched disco Bee Gees tho

Some songs are great. She sucks now

What a nice surprise this was. Knew golden brown from another album but didn't realize they were way more early punk sounding

Cheesy

Never got his appeal

Nope

Never heard about this. Loved it

I have no trouble listening to the temptations which is weird... -Mitch Hedberg

Meh

Gets old fast but some songs are great

Classic old school hip-hop...

What is the appeal?

Masterpiece. 5/5. This is the reason I got heavily into this band. 2003 tour for this album. Group of around 15 of us went. I was hesitant as I thought Kid A and amnesiac were ok. Didn't get the hype. Boy did they changed my mind. Hearing these songs and others from all their previous albums changed my perspective of what a live show could be.

Not their best one but still great

Was 13 when this came out and probably haven't listened to the whole thing since but it was still a fun album to listen to. Brought back memories.

I like punk and see their influence but not my favorite

Pretty generic rock.

Cool songs but repetitive

Too bad what happened to this band. This album is a banger. Except for one song.

Awesome stuff.
