1001 Albums Summary

- Listened to studio and live albums - They sound surprisingly similar :) - Wild range of styles - Awesome album, I'm sure I'll listen again, but I don't "need the vinyl"

2/5 - Not awful, but I didn't really enjoy it. Love songs can be great but these seemed to have zero depth. Might be good in movies which I think is where I've heard some of them before.

- familiarity: some, a couple of songs but not artist - album: flowed nicely - instrumentation: broad range, clean, interesting - lyrics: clear, huge range, fits the music, great falsetto - thoughts: really dig it, immediately downloaded all of their other albums - surprised: yes, will definitely listen again - score: 5/5

- familiarity: medium, I know the band and quite a few songs but not this album - album: flow - instrumentation: surprising range: blues, sax, not what I expected - lyrics: fun - thoughts: I liked it, probably not going to reach for it but would enjoy it if someone else put it on - surprised: yeah, a side of the stones that I hadn't heard before - score: 4/5

Instrumentation is pretty good, but I can't get into the vocals

Really liked the music, disliked the vocals quite a bit. I usually like the alternative singers like this, but it didn't have anything special going for it. Inspired me to listen to the B-52s

Rouuuuuggghhh

I like how eclectic and experimental their sound is. However most of the songs didn't really go anywhere.

Had to skip through songs. The vocals rubbed me the wrong way. I think the lyrics were interesting, but I didn't want to listen to them.

Great small group jazz. So many bass solos. I'd listen anytime I want something low key.

Great groove, fun lyrics, will definitely listen more.

I've heard most of the songs many times. They're fine, but I never had a particular connection to them.

Felt poorly mixed, I didn't like the vocals, and I'm not sure why this was so popular.

Grooved to it while coding. Would listen again.

Listened twice through. Really liked the laid back style. Reminded me a lot of Digable Planets who I love.

A good groove, would definitely listen again

Fun album of mostly covers/standards. I've never been a big Elvis fan, but I liked these

I liked it, didn't know about the relationship between Bowie and Iggy!

Pretty fun, I like the groups guitar forward sound.

I liked it, comically short though

I really liked some of it. The spoken track is funny. Love how long the tracks were compared to yesterday's 15 minute album

Eclectic, fun really liked it! Will definitely listen to more non-Beatles McCartney

Some ok moments, but never got into it and some of the songs I skipped

Enjoyed most of it, would definitely listen more

I really loved some moments, but there were too many times that this was straight cacophony. The grating cowbell was awful.

Why does everything have cowbell?!?! Really good otherwise and only mine 20 seconds of it.

I liked their hit "epic", but didn't liked the voice or lyrics otherwise

Great guitar, nice vocals, interesting lyrics. Overall, I really liked it. Super cool that is was recorded in his kitchen, really talented. Surprised that I hadn't heard of him before.

Quintessential 90s sound. I sort of recognized one song, but knew it was from the 90s before I looked them up.

Originally thought it was pretty mediocre, but ended up really liking it for background music while running

Great band sound, vocals were hit or miss depending on the song.

Really good to listen to in the background while coding! But pretty boring otherwise.

I've always loved EC, this is the best of him and I knew nothing about it. Listened through 2 times.

Not something I'd seek out, but I didn't mind listening through once

One of the best albums of all time. Listened to it a week ago, so not much surprise factor.

Fun, never would have listened to it otherwise

Couldn't finish it

I've listened to this album 50 times before and seen them in concert. One of my favorites.

Another one of my all time favorites!

A bunch of songs that I've heard but never knew the artist. Unique voice and fun music. Really enjoyed it.

Great sound and groove. Love the epic songs too.

Good background music while lifting

Rarely in the mood for Sinatra

Really fun, a lot of bit sized songs and not what I expected given the title

Never been a huge Coldplay fan

Great album with several jams

Music was decent but didn't like the vocals or lyrics

It's the album I use to test audio systems. One of the best of all time.

Liked the instrumentation but not the vocals

Had to stop listening. Way too repetitive

Loved the grooves and tango
