1001 Albums Summary

Wooo! Black Cow so good

Need to listen to it once more to properly rate it

Beautiful

Way too long, would probably cut 2-3 songs. Still a good time. Funky Monks and Sir Psycho Sexy are amazing. When the album hits, it HITS. Worst case scenario you get some funky Flea bass, goofy Anthony lyrics and a cool guitar solo from John. But play me a random song from the album and I there is 50% chance I will confuse it for some other song from their catalogue

Absolutely incredible (debut) album! Amazing production, songwriting, lyrics, vibe and pacing. Not one bad song. The weakest one is "Trying Your Luck" which contains the best solo of this album. I do wish that "When It Started" was included, but tbf I don't know where I would put it (before "Last Nite" maybe? Or after "Someday? Probably not). Julian with his amazing and kinda cryptic lyrics paints such beautiful pictures of love, envy, anger and "douchebagery". Personally, one of the best albums ever

I can see why this album is so loved, but U2 ain't really my type of rock.

It's a classic. I just didn't really like the mix I listened to. Also would have loved to hear the concept album that these songs were taken from

Liked mildly only 1 song - the rest was unbearable. Manson wants to be edgy so bad. Don't understand the appeal. Props to you if ya like it. I don't

Very fun album! Will add it to the rotation

Only Ray Charles can call his album "The Genius of Ray Charles" Yeah, he is absolutely right Need to listen to it at least once more to fully appreciate it

Noisy, ugly, perfect

Absolute classic. Before re-listening today I was under the impression that I didn't like the album that much. I had 1 song in my playlist and the others I found boring. I really didn't get the appeal. I now do. It's such an important album but it is also such a gorgeous one. Equal parts melancholic and impressive. I want to listen to it again and again. I don't think it is perfect, but I don't know what to change or improve to make it that. It is still 5/5. If it doesn't work the first time, wait and try again. It is worth it

Absolute classic

One of the greatest hip hop debutes Shame who Kanye is now
