1001 Albums Summary

I thought it was okay. I’m not usually into indie bands, but a few hooks caught my attention. The vocalist seemed to be trying a bit too hard to channel David Bowie, and the chord progressions felt generic. Still, their playful use of percussion added some much-needed life to the music.

I can hear many elements of late '70s - early '80s punk/pop/rock. From U2 to The Police. It wasn't bad. I'm tired of Brass In Pocket. I don't understand how people aren't tired of that song as it's overplayed in every market I've lived in. Didn't love the album - didn't hate it either. I will give them credit for being original. 3.5 Stars Favorites: Private Life & Space Invader

A classic album, where even the songs that didn't become hits are still good. One of those early albums you can listen and enjoy all the way through. Good, classic, '70s rock-blues-country.

A classic album, already reviewed hundreds of times. There isn't much more I can add. Some songs are better than others, but there are enough hits on this album to have made it worth buying back in the day. I love Pink Floyd and one doesn't need to be high or drunk to appreciate their work (contrary to legend). 5 out of 5

I'll never understand people's obsession with Bowie.

Boring

Please!!! No more Bowie records.

This album is over 24 years old, and all but one song have less than 1m plays. There is a reason for that.

Another one of those albums which I think has songs with more than a million plays simply because this 1001 albums list is directing people to it.

Ok. No more Bowie or Talking Heads albums...please!!!

Not generally a country fan, but this has some country-rockabilly sounds to it. I have heard the album once before in my youth and remembered liking it. Decades later it still sounds good.

Like Bowie, I've never been a Willie fan. Sorry. Boring.

I actually liked it better than I thought I would. Pretty reflective and pioneering of the genre at that time.

I appreciate Brian Eno's contribution to modern music via his collaboration, but his solo stuff...I don't know. I think Kraftwerk was more melodic. I enjoy them more.

Better than I thought it would be, I was surprised by how many songs I was familiar with. I'm not sure I would intentionally listen to it again, but it wasn't a waste of time either.

Classic album. Every song a masterpiece!

I gave it a chance. 80s rap...I thought I might like some of it, but no. Not for me.

Not really my thing. I prefer jazz and blues.
