1001 Albums Summary

Okay - interesting, seemingly unique sounds for era. Good complex instrumentalities. Did not pay attention to the lyrics but supposedly they are good.

Surprised I had never heard it before. Very impressed.

Want to listen to it again. Not completely impressed.

Sooo good. I can't believe I hadn't heard this album before.

Not nearly as good as All Directions but still a good listen.

On second listen - really good. And the sax is so nice. R LOVED hearing Warrior in Woolworths.

Meh

Hard to tell how innovative it was for the time. It's good. 8 year old hated it.

Very good. No input from the kids though.

It was okay. Expected more. R thought it was just okay.

Ok. R did not like it. Thought it would be better.

Interesting. Better than expected. But got a bit bored with it towards the end. R liked it; H did not.

Very good. Kids thought it was good. It dragged on a bit but you can't beat that opening of an opening song for a debut album.

Another great opening riff (two albums in a row - LZ's Good Times Bad Times was Friday). Rest of the album was meh at best.

So good. Unanimous 5. Deluxe version with new mix was good.

Interesting. Surprised never heard of them. Would listen again. But not heavy rotation or desert island.

Lilith Fairy. Would listen again. Hadn’t ever listened before. Solid 3.

No good notes. Likes the songs.

Very good. No notes.

A 3+. Had not heard the album (but heard a few songs). Would not put it in same category as early U2 but better than expected. Somewhat surprised it made the list.

Uniquely good and unexpectedly good. Barely a 4 but still a 4.

Quite good. Reyna liked it.

Very slow. A poppy favorite artist.

Big fan. Girls liked.

Psychedelic rocker. Glad to hear it for first time. More like this!

Ok. Didn’t listen much. No bangers (even for Bjork).

Bangers and belters. Only one listen though. Girls liked it.

A classic with great tunes. I wish I could pay closer attention to the lyrics.

High 2. Good rocker. But mostly by the numbers. Need more jam.

New to me and great.

Surpassed expectations. Wanted to hear it more. Will come back to it. r liked it too.

Decent but did not meet expectations. Barely made a 3. Girls agree but loved the hits.

New wave stuff. Decent. Wasn’t yearning for more. But worthy of 3.

Ended up less exciting as it went along. Hoped for more uniqueness.

Innovative. Wanted to hear again.

Not as impressed with the overall album.

Enjoyed it more when directly listening. Energy off the charts but got repetitive .

Meh and middling New Wave. Some interesting innovative synthesizer use but otherwise blah.

Good. Understandably considered excellent for those who may listen closely to lyrics - but I'm not one of those so not sure.

Pretty good stuff. Overall, the doesn’t quite make it to a four but definitely a solid three. Helena did not like it, but she was in a bad mood.

Good stuff. Not the greatest album but her voice and styling is really good.

Solid. Not quite four.

So good. Funk is goood. Girks did not like and found lyrics annoyingly repetitive.

Not bad. Not my cup of tea. Worthy of a there. Would come back to it.

Good stuff. Not as good as Felan but made it over the himp to a 4.

A couple bangers but mostly one note.

Very good album. Kept wanting to hear it again and relisten.

Great album. Unanimous 4.

Interesting. Definitely a 3. Not quite a 4. Girls not fans of it.

Good songs. Great last song. Surprising instrumentation. Barely a 3.

Expected more from such a huge seller. Girls were meh. Nir did not want to listen to it.

Good songs but not as great as would have liked.

Liked it. Barely a 4. Would change if another album of his is better.

Very very good. Prog rock greatness.

Hoped for better

Better than expected but songs were too similar. Loved the long song titles.

Great tunes. Not sure if it's the desert island Marley album, but very good reggae album.

Very good songs. Short album. Would listen multiple times.

Barely a 3. Would listen again. Girls thought it was a 2.

I thought it was going to be a two. However, a few songs are really good and bumped it up to three. Unfortunately, the lyrics we’re not appropriate for the girls so there’s no information as to whether they liked it or not.

A desert island album.

Cool sounds. Would Relisten again.

I liked this a little more than expected.

It's pretty good and am surprised I haven't heard anything beyond the one-hit wonder song.

It was fine.

Lots of good tracks and instrumentals.

So meh. Waste of a spot.

Wanted better bangers from the songs I hadn’t heard.

So good. Five stars easily

Meh. Good voice but they’re not his songs. And nothing too interesting.

So interestingly good and innovative. But need to be in the right mood. Not a desert island record but worthy of five stars otherwise. Thus only 4.

Good prog rock tones and some real bangers.

Lyrics good. Samples good.

Good stuff but need to lyrics more closely.

Ok but not as good as original. Ashlee and the girls hated it.

Really good.

Really good. Almost a five but will hold off for rust never sleeps.

A classic but the lyrics....

Ok.

Very cool stuff. Reminds me of Kronos Quartet. Definitely something to listen to again.

Meh but girls liked it. One or two bangers.

Nice stuff. Never heard any of the songs on the album though.

Good but different. I may need another listen or two before fully appreciating it. Sadly that means for now it only gets a 3.

Excellent album. maybe even a 5

It was okay. A few decent moments but truly could not tell what makes it great.

Great album

Very good.

A banger and some good ones but if I never listen again I will be okay. Neil Young would have made it a 3.

All new to me. Interesting. Probably won’t listen again. But high 2 gets it a 3.

Good songs. Some better than others. But not enough to make it to a four.

Meh. Love the idea that there is social justice lyrics but can’t follow.

Barely listenable but two bangers get it two a 2.

Good stuff from a band I never heard before. Would listen again.

Surprisingly really liked it.

Very good. But not as good as the great London Calling. Barely a 4.

Solid album. Not their best, but definitely a four.

Nice music. Would listen again and recommend but not a 4.

Nothing too interesting.

Gets better with each listen

Good music. I’ve listened again, but not something I put on a heavy rotation at all. Good mix of genres.

Beautiful album

Liked it and kept wanting to Relisten.

Nothing spectacular but definitely enjoyable.

One good song (extended version ftw). Great instrumentation though.

Would relisten. Not that innovative despite trying to be “post-rock” supposedly.

Such a great album.

Can’t separate the art from the artist. Confederacy apologists.

Good opening but too much of the back half was mehish

Very good.

Interesting. Innovative for the times.

Good singing but hard to get it to a 4.

Not as good as later, more overtly political (and less country) work. But still good.

It’s good but won’t ever revisit.

Meh at best.

It’s fine and lovely.

This one just didn’t do it.

Bluesy goodness

Good that sounded the same yeah OK well put it. I have one.

Barely a 4. Girls convinced me based on number of bangers.

Would listen again.

So great but oddly not as spectacular as I remembered. Still 5.

Would listen again.

Surprisingly fun and good. Never heard it before.
