Pretty chill one to start my 1001 album journey. Reggae is one genre that I have not listened to a whole bunch (not that I've listened to a whole lot of music in general); so these songs were mostly brand new listens. The percussion does tend to get a bit repetitive for me, but the vocals, and the lyrics especially more than make up for it. Solid 7/10 Favorites: Rebel Music, Revolution, No Woman No Cry (the live version preferred)

Never fully listened to an album from them before. Much more varied instrumentally than expected; I went in thinking Blue Orchid (the only song I heard from here before) would be a good indicator for the rest of the album. I do have a personal bias towards idiophones so enjoyed the non-drum percussion; but outside of a few songs, none of them really clicked for me. 6.5/10 Favorites: Forever for Her (Is Over for Me), The Denial Twist, Red Rain

I thought it would be like 300 albums, not 3 before I got to one I've heard all the way through lol Fun album overall, I don't actively hate any of the songs (I do think Last Nite is just alright), but maybe I just enjoy them individually and not all at once. I can understand why people say it gets repetitive. Having my music player loop back to the beginning did make me appreciate the slower tempo and the bassline on the first track even more; stands out from the rest. I do prefer The New Abnormal; that ones like a 9/10 for me. This one is an overall 7.5/10 Favorites: Is This It; Someday; Alone, Together; Soma

I hate myself for not listening to this earlier. Who knew that intentionally avoiding certain things just because your parents enjoy it, in some sort of act of rebellion, would deprive you of some great stuff. Really makes me want to pick up the flute again tbh. Also I made a mistake of looking at the reviews (never doing that again) - damn some people are so vehemently opposed to the idea of the flute and act like the instrument composition of rock bands was ordained as immutable, and any addition is heresy. cowards. whimsiless mfs. Easy 9/10 Favorites: Locomotive Breath, Hymn 43, Mother Goose, Wond'ring Aloud, Cross-Eyed Mary

First time listening to the doors. I usually am picky about vocals and like songs despite the singing, not because of it. Unfortunately because of the extremely nice baritone vocals here, it makes me pay attention to the lyrics. Which isn't great because these lyrics aren't the best. Fortunately there's some GREAT organ to make up for it. Love it. (I also don't like Alabama song. Which is a shame because I really like hammered dulcimers. ) Overall it wasn't bad; in fact quite good; and the one disliked song and mid lyrics did not skew the average too much. 8/10 Favorites: The Crystal Ship; End of the Night; The End; Light My Fire; Take It as It Comes; Soul Kitchen
