1001 Albums Summary

Good songs. “The plot sickens”

Nice

Comes in hot then takes a bit of a victory lap

The best songs

I wish I could give it 6 stars

Wildly diverse: songs range from so bad it's good (I'm In Love With My Car) to so good it's bad (Bohemian Rhapsody). Death On Two Legs is an all-timer as far as album openings go.

Delightful

Tasty jams and solid songwriting. Nice break with Crazy Love, much needed what with all the Van-ness of the rest of it.

Gripping opener with the double bass, something you couldn't get away with today. Nice songs throughout and a powerful message for the time

White nice

A man who sounded 80 as a 20 year old, as an 80 year old

At least one of the songs is good

Such weird music... so cool

Ambitious

Like any Bowie album, full of wonder and melodic/harmonic intrigue. Just not his best

Didn’t think I’d like this album so much. No wonder it’s on so many of these lists

Some fun stuff in here, just not for me

Technically masterful, unashamedly quirky

AAAAAAAAHHlmost perfect

Classic

Love the band, but not sure why I needed to hear this before I die

One of their best albums for sure

Thank you world for providing me with this one star album. Listening to this album was like watching a gruesome horror movie, only without the thrills

OK Robert

An all-timer for me, honestly. I dig the theatricality tempered with intense musicianship

This is a classic for sure. Detroit energy to the max. Just not a fan of the sound quality

All-timer of a live album, solid playing all around and a decent mix

Coolio

Berry Gordy must have been so mad when he got back from LA and heard this

This is one of my favorites for sure

Good soulful music

It's fine. Nice sound mix, but a little bland after awhile

Billy Joel lite delivers a montage of vaudeville-esque piano stylings. This album would be 2 stars if the orchestration wasn't so exquisite, and 4 stars if he knew how to properly end a song.

Meh

Eh

I like some of AHNONI's stuff, even though I find her voice to be a little annoying. There wasn't so much good here

Some truly legendary noises

Way cool

Nicee

I like this more than I should

Far out

Ayyy

Not their greatest album but a really good one

Bruce dabbles in mid songwriting

Some good, some aight

Not the greatest Elliott Smith but still pretty dang good

Why haven't I heard of this band?

Mostly stunnung

Nice record, good old songs

Love these jams

In a musical era when bands were setting the tone for the next several decades, it's interesting to hear an album that could have been recorded in 1967.

This is the U2 I like

Nostalgic garage rock, but not in the way you think

Good road trip album

I knew it

Nobody told me this band was good

Classic

Love Captain Beefheart

Nick Drake sounds best by himself

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Funny, this album was introduced to me by the original book. Listening to it all these years later is an interesting experience. I'll always attest to the quality of the music here

Alt rock radio agrees that I needed to hear this before I die... at least the first half or so of the album

Very cool, very interesting style that grew on me as I listened further
