1001 Albums Summary

Really good music to listen to while working! It was my first time hearing of either this artist or album, so a pleasant surprise! Despite its length, it didn't feel too bloated to me, and I can hear how this album might have been influential to other artists/genres that I listen to.

REACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH!!!! I love Personal Jesus (one of my favorite songs of all time), but I love this album a whole lot more. So catchy and it still sounds so fresh with every new listen.

I did not like this at all. The lyrics were so bad too 😭😭😭

Delightfully quirky! But also kind of not cohesive enough. I'd listen again in the future though!

First time listening to a full Bob Dylan album.. that harmonica.. but I still like his songwriting and I thought this was a decent album as a whole

I thought it was pretty decent, but I don't know if I'd give it another listen.

I really liked this album! I had no idea what to expect going into this as I am not a listener of metal, but I enjoyed the singer's voice (based on my preconceived notions of metal, I did not expect this) and I liked the politically-charged lyrics!

What an album. I may be a bit biased because Smith is my favorite solo artist ever, but honestly I wouldn't even consider this his best as I think his later albums eclipsed this record due to their more refined songwriting and orchestration. Despite that, you can still see his true musical talent shining through this entire album, probably due to its stripped-back production. I think a lot of people only think of his music as being sad, but damn he is also just a lyrical and melodic genius and that's the aspect of his music that's most apparent to me. This album also makes me so nostalgic for Portland, where I lived in high school. Much love for this album, especially the songs Alameda, Rose Parade, and Ballad of Big Nothing. Til we meet again, when I inevitably get Figure 8!

Meh, it was alright. I didn't like it as a whole album, but I would definitely listen to a few of the tracks from this on their own. Some were absolute BANGERS, like I Luv U. Probably won't revisit the album, but I'm glad I got some songs that I like out of it!

Oh I thought this album was just really boring and insipid. Did not even appreciate the Nick Drake pastiches even if they were "ahead of their time."

Eh it was alright. An enjoyable listen nonetheless

Musical equivalent of "nothing ever happens."

Catchy! I don't know if I'll revisit this album, but I don't regret my listen 😎

Meh. I find Liam and Noel Oasis kind of insufferable, and that really affects how I perceive this album. I like the sound they're going for, and I like some of the songs on this album (Live Forever!!), but I'm just never gonna listen to this again.

I liked it, it was right up my alley! Would listen again :)

Very enjoyable, would listen again!

I mean it's the highest rated for a reason. I've had a lifelong love for this album, so incredibly catchy and it flows so beautifully ❤️

Loved it!

That one review saying this sounds like sober Flaming Lips is so right 😭

I enjoyed it but I don't find it exceptional or particularly interesting.

Fun little album!

I loved the production on this album, so dreamy. I thought the songs were kind of boring and indistinguishable though.

Incredible album, quirked up and terminally online. But it's so groovy too!!

Eh it was kinda fun. I really enjoyed the song Party Fears Two though!!

I liked it!
