1001 Albums Summary

Possibly the most depressing album I've ever heard. Someone with a voice that mournful shouldn't be singing unless accompanied by some upbeat music

Sounds to strut to

Great voice but apart from a couple of tracks, all the songs have the same subject. He's left, she misses him and she'll change if he comes back. By the end of the album I wanted to give her a good shake and tell her to get some self respect and stop wallowing

I'm not really a fan of modern jazz so although this is clearly talented playing, it just sounds like discordant noise to me. Wasted on me totally I'm afraid

No idea what the songs are about as they're either in French or Algerian, which I don't speak. But great music, I can hear many different influences in there, and couldn't stop my toes from tapping

Classic American rock n roll. I liked the music ok, but not the vocals and the lyrics were samey

Maiden are great. In small doses. The main tracks Number of the Beast and Run to the hills are great galloping, pantomime horror lyric fuelled Maiden metal. 🤘🏻 The rest is the usual galloping, pantomime horror lyric fuelled Maiden metal but dull.

Love the quirky lyrics in particular

Could hear Beatles influence, some Crowded House, bit of punk, but most of the time sounded like an out of tune garage band

Mellow and beautiful

Forgot what a classic this album is. MJ's voice is superb and every track totally earns its place on the listing

Some absolute classics on here. Good songs but I don't really enjoy her vocals so not an album I'd listen to

What I think of as lazy Sunday jazz. Chilled and inoffensive with a couple of more upbeat numbers. Didn't grip me but I didn't hate it

Enjoyed the music, quite uplifting.

I didn't like Cyndi Lauper's high pitched squeaky vocals in the 80s, and it seems time hasn't improved my opinion. The album just sounds very dated and jumps between styles, didn't enjoy at all

Sounds like a movie soundtrack from the 60s/70s and in fact that's exactly what it is. Probably would have helped if I'd actually seen the film, otherwise I wouldn't have thought this is just a bizarre album

Love it. Stone cold classic

I don't think I've listened to the whole of this album since I was a young kid. Still a great album to sing along to and I'll no doubt be playing it again now I've rediscovered it

Funky but lengthy

Great voice and a lovely mellow album. Worth another listen

Tuneless and boring

On paper this should be right up my street. But it just didn't grab me at all. Just ok

Sounds like they're trying to be any one of a number of bands from the 90s. Without really achieving an identity of their own. Occasionally, particularly on the more melodic pieces they sound like there's something there but otherwise it's cut and paste 90s indie pop guitar band

I bought this album when it came out. It's still fabulous

Old fashioned rock n roll. If you're fond of a lengthy guitar solo, you'd like this. I just got bored

I always considered Suede one of the better bands of the Britpop era, although pre-Spotify I was never a big enough fan to check out their albums. Really enjoyed this one. Brett Anderson has a distinctive voice with great range and a beautiful tone. Will definitely be adding this to my playlists

If you're a fan of poppy pop then I'm sure this is wonderful

I used to like this album a lot but it feels very tired now

What a voice, what a loss to music

Great album. Never listened to a full album of this before although have been a fan of the odd tracks I've heard previously

One of my growing up albums so I know the tracks like I know the lines on my own palm. I haven't listened to the entire album in ages though, and I still love it

wtf?

Beautiful

Can't stand him, and this is absolutely my least favourite genre of music so I'm negatively biased but I know it has some merit even if I don't appreciate it

Washed over me without really making an impact but pleasant enough

The problem I have with British folk music from the 60s and 70s is that I like the music and lyrics but not the reedy female vocals that are typical of so much of the songs I've heard. This is no exception. On the rockier tracks they're fine but as soon as it slows down it loses me

Pleasantly surprised by this. I don't usually like live albums of Thin Lizzy but this rocks and I really enjoyed it

Usually quite like the Bee Gees but found this one morose. An album for the broken hearted and depressed

Not normally a fan of this genre but found this quite fun. Probably wouldn't listen again though so it only gets a 2
