1001 Albums Summary

Decent, bluesy and a bit heavier than expected 3.5/5

Amazing smooth vocals, such a sexy record

So long, lacking the immediate hooks of rumours but some good songs

Some great pop songs but overlong

From a fantastic intro to an all time great closing song a fantastic record

Decent but a bit swampy.

Not just hurt, a wonderful record of an aged genius. Hurt would be worth 5 stars alone.

Enjoyed, second half is better than the first I think. The rage is my favourite track.

Some really problematic lyrics but can't deny how talented a rapper he is

Not as coherent as bridge over troubled water but the harmony is still beyond compare

Fantastic musicianship but slightly plodding at times.

Odd. Not my thing

Can see where urban hymns came from, decent record if a little self indulgent

So many good songs but so long

Even with two duff tracks still and all time great

Again problematic lyrics but his rapping is top notch and stan an all time great

Good but lacking immediate bangers

You can hear how influential this is

Bit slow

Incredible musicianship but not really my thing

God no. Unlistenable

Great musicians and see why he’s so influential but not much my style

Rubbish! Sound effects make it unlistenable

Really enjoyed this one, great songs and great atmosphere

Fine but nothing really outstanding

Hugely influential- every punk album owes this a debt

Not a massive fan but fine

Amazing energy and soul

Banging debut album, half a dozen top drawer tracks

Cracking record, really enjoyed rediscovering it

When you say blues this is what it conjures. Not massively my thing but recognise how good this is

You can check out but you can never leave. Stone cold classic.

Social conscience & amazing soul

Anohni’s voice still sends shivers. What a record

Not much fun and due to the spoken word style vocals all sounds quite similar

Hadn’t realised how much influence on bellowhead he had - fantastic listen

Not sure what the fuss is on this one. It was fine.

Fucking critics wanting everything to be more Jazz

Decent enough but more of a Paul man

Lofi joy. Not as good as 3eps but still great

Stone cold classic

A bit one paced but decent

Decent but still prefer pearl jam & nirvana

Love Nick, bit too much for one sitting

So influential, so skillful

Fred durst can suck my

That voice, great record especially the first 3 tracks

Good fun

Standard shoe gaze indie

But noodly for me but excellent playing

Wonderful stuff

They Were a properly brilliant live band

Some great tracks but a bit plodding

Good 60s pop

Good 60s pop/folk

Really enjoyed this

Really enjoyed this - need to listen to more Cure

The first 8 tracks are perfection. Sublime harmonies

Fucking horrendous

Nice songs but too much all in one go

Before they disappeared up their own arses they did write some bangers

Thriller, beat it & billie Jean are as good a 3 songs as on any record

nice soul but heard better

Poppier than I expected

Can remember why they got big before they went massive

Some decent songs but too long

Still hate jazz

Such a voice, and some cracking songs

The Queen of soul

Good musicians but far too noodly

You can see why it's so influential but nico can't sing

The second half is great pop - the first half much less so

Fabulous voice, can see why he was so popular

Pleasant but not memorable

Prefer the second album packaged with it. Quite a Neil diamond vibe

Brilliant but hard to see why it caused such uproar at this distance

Lovely voice but god I hate smooth jazz

Nice enough jangly pop rock. Bit U2

Great musicians but so long and lacking in joy

Great apart from veering into smooth jazz occasionally

Fun pop
