1001 Albums Summary

Although only 4 songs, the album takes me on a journey with many stops along the way to taste and experience a range of human emotions. I love the eclecticism of instruments, beats, and voices throughout the album. I certainly detect his influence in some of Peter Gabriel's music of this era as well.

I don't usually care for live albums, but this is crispy as hell. Sound quality is fantastic. I get it.

Ill admit i have a lot of assumptions about this music and the people who listen to it, but I'll give it a chance. After listen: boring and safe, not into it.

Meh, not into the vocals. I get that it was probably groundbreaking for its time, but I personally can't get into it.

Pleasantly surprised by this. Reminds me a bit of the Decemberists, like a pale brass folksy color. Scaled-back/simple version of 2010s folk rock revival.

This was a fun one! Reminded me of early Beatles.

Pleasantly surprised by how much i loved this

Classic

Very chill and created some good vibes. J liked it too

Do I detect the origins of ska? 'Do The Dog' feels like I'm watching America's Funniest Home Videos Also sensing Jimi Hendrix

There were some good songs and some boring songs.

What a great first album. It's fun and easy to listen to

One of my favs. I can sense vestiges of their older albums like Being There or Summerteeth, and also a look forward toward Sky Blue Sky

Synth out the gate! Lots of simple lyrics and hype energy, in a classic funky alt 80s way. I've heard "It's Nasty" before for sure. Scorpio is a bop. I'm sensing some early Daft Punk in the vocals.

Classic, but it feels a bit repetitive

Honestly I love this, though I realize I didn't appreciate it AT ALL when I was younger.

I've heard some of these melodies before, but didn't know they were Morrissey. Pretty good stuff, and probably wouldve been better if I were to have listened to it in the 80s. Id give it a 3.5 if I could.

A classic

I get that this is an absolute classic, and he was appealing to the crowd of inmates at Folsom, but I wasn’t overly moved by it

Entertaining, but doesn't feel groundbreaking to me, but I don't know the context of when it was released.

Much better late at night under certain conditions, but considered a classic for a reason

NGL I hear how Djo was influenced by this album. His voice and singing style is very similar. I'm surprised how much I like it.

Not gonna listen to this d-bag

Not a fan. Her voice is yelly and a bit grating to my ears. Feels corny.

ngl this felt pretty corny, repetitive, and basic.

One of the greatest contributions to the indie revival during the aughts.

Love this album. It's haunting and ahead of it's time. I honestly hear their influence on a lot of recent pop like older Billie Eilish.

Very cinematic and dramatic, but I like it. I've noticed that most of the Icelandic artists I've heard have an underlying similar sound. I'd give 3.5/5 if I could, because this heavily depends on what mood I'm in.

I honestly loved this

Fantastic. Can't believe I've never listened...I'm embarrassed

Two songs in and I'm surprised this was released in the late 70s because it sounds like it belongs in a Shrek movie.

Lotsa hand drumming, which I don't hate.

Not a fan

I hear the punk and metal influences of the 80s, but it's not my cup of tea.
