1001 Albums Summary

A short album with fun songs. Probably won’t revisit but an interesting listen from a music history standpoint

I liked this more than I expected. Most of the songs are fun to listen to and seem to work nicely together as an album

Delicate songwriting. The songs can begin to feel very similar and this can seem more like an album of vibes. But I found each song unique and the whole album held my attention.

Liked the guitar lines and the synth accents. The singles definitely hold up. Really enjoyed the album

A bit too folk-y for my taste. Also very long

Bop after bop

A 60s crooner who just doesn’t work for me

Some interesting moments and melodies but not enough for me to find any true enjoyment in this album

Good production. Great voice. A bit too country for my personal taste

A pleasant surprise. You can hear how this influenced rock pop and country today. I think the slower songs began to drag but Big Iron, Utah Carol and Running Gun move

Overall a fine album. Nothing exciting but nothing terrible. Something inoffensive to play in the background

Brian Eno defined a genre of music with this album. I will be the first to admit it’s not a great listen if you are only focusing on the music. But it was intended to be a part of the ambiance and it set the bar for a reason. Great for reading or a quiet walk

Psychedelic to the point of naval gazing

Weird. Interesting. Probably groundbreaking at the time. Still have no inclination to ever listen to again

Good old school country music

I found this to be a very fun album. A mix of blues and rock influences. And just a little bit different

Interesting to hear the origins of such a band. But I found the album to be mainly the same old sound. I did actually like “Tell Me” as a 60s rock song and it’s apparently one of the few original songs on the album

I think knowing the backstory to this album helps when listening to it. I think I would give it a lower rating without that context

Great horns. Good voice. Like it as a 60s album but not my thing overall

The bangers are great. A few songs lag a bit. Overall a great album

I don’t love the melodies and production but I think every song has 10/10 lyrics

I liked the dance beats.

I think it lives up to its reputation as a great album

Generally was ok. But some of the more experimental (wacky?) parts put me off

A bit of a weird one but it really worked for me. Made me feel want to go and listen to more of the artist

There’s something there. I just can’t find it

A few good songs. But generally feels like an unfinished demo. Needs some editing I generally like the melodies and the lo-fi production.

A perfect Christmas Day listen. If not on Christmas Day it would be a very different rating
