1001 Albums Summary

Brilliant. Joyful, love the vibe, especially enjoyed the first half

Give the guy what he wants he sounds desperate

Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

Hell no. Great arrangements and bass though. I'll quote another review by saying "Good background music. Shite foreground music."

It's probably easier to enjoy this album if you're not from the US. I must admit I was completely unaware of the controversy surrounding the Eagles, something I am only finding out now through the reviews I'm reading here. As an Italian listener, this album doesn't feel like "supermarket music", I'd say there's only a couple of songs that are widely recognized as big classics here, and with good reason: Hotel California and Life in the Fast Lane are absolute gems. While the other tracks don’t quite reach the same heights, I still found the album very enjoyable overall.

I doubt even my own mother would care about MY opinion on this absolute masterpiece. Also, just to give her credit, she's the one who introduced it to me.

My dad is a huge Madness fan. Turns out the love for ska revival is a hereditary trait. I didn't really know The Specials, besides of course having heard "A message to you Rudy" before, but I'm glad I do now. I found myself humming "Too much too young" on my way to work.

This is so far from my personal taste I almost struggle to believe some people actually enjoy it. It's groovy but in terms of lyrics I'd say it perfectly matches the tacky, tasteless cover.

Had they been american it would have been a 1. Anyway, it's a no from me.

An undeniably great voice that, for reasons beyond my comprehension, does nothing for me. I found it almost painful to listen to more than 3 songs in a row. Sorry Amy.

I simply ADORE Adele's voice and the whole album was better than I remembered.

I expected to like this more than I did. Still pretty cool.

So bizarre. Some songs definitely didn't meet my taste, some others I absolutely loved! I really wanted to listen to the whole thing just to see what would come up next — and yet it still felt surprisingly coherent as a whole. Cool.

Looks like all of us were biased, all of us were wrong. Great stuff

I really struggle getting into Dylan's music but this album is the best I've heard so far. And kind of my most prized possession but that's a story for another day

So. fucking. cool.

I'm giving this album a 2 but I have nothig bad to say about it. I can see why it's considered a classic, I can see why so many people love it. I just really hate heavy metal with a burning passion.

Meh, pretty dull to be honest

Ahh the Yes. I'm fond of them

Meh

10/10 Absolute gold.

I’m fascinated by how we love, hate, like, or dislike voices for reasons that are entirely personal — and almost impossible to explain. While I fully recognise the grandeur of Bob Dylan, the sound of his voice has always bothered me. Same goes for David Byrne, whose voice severely hurts my brain in ways I cannot express. I couldn't explain exactly why I love Leonard Cohen and could easily listen to his entire discography back to back on a regular Thursday evening, but I sure do.
