Most songs sound similar but there are a couple of songs that are decent. “Obvious” is a good song. From 1-5 I’d give it a 3. Not really my type of music and would never download it except maybe “Obvious “.
Excellent album but not great. I would definitely download the record but wouldn't classify it as a must have or classic. However, there are classic songs on it.
Good album but you either like or don’t like Dylan. If you don’t, you’ll say it’s a bunch of gibberish and all the songs are similar. If you like him, you’ll listen to the lyrics and appreciate the musician he is. 3 really great songs worth downloading to a playlist.
Exactly what I expected. All in all a good album with some well known songs. I hate to admit it, but I really liked “Oh Yoko”. Album came out in 1971 a year after the Beatles broke up, and it seems like it was quickly slapped together and put out so fans could hear his solo stuff. Unlike Double Fantasy, which was four years after his previous album which shows most masterpieces take time. I don’t know if this album is a must listen. I’d download a song or two and that’s it.
Each song sounded the same and only 2 songs stood out as listenable. On Wikipedia, he put out this album at 21 which is impressive and his guitar playing is outstanding. Died when he was 26. Not something I’d download or listen to again. However, there are worse albums out there to me, so it’ll receive a 2
Didn’t really enjoy it. I like some White Strips songs but they weren’t on this album. However, I really enjoyed “I’m lonely, but I ain’t that lonely yet”. If you like this genre I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, but it wasn’t for me.
I wasn’t totally impressed by this album. Probably a classic if you grew up during the psychedelic era. Two classic songs but that’s about it. I’d never buy or download this album. As far as I’m concerned, not worth listening to again and void of any diamonds in the rough.
When I listen to an album, I try to rate it like I’m listening to it for the first time. That way it doesn’t skew my rating based on songs I’ve heard before. Also, I can envision the album for its artistic and revolutionary ground breaking value at that moment in time and then presently for its test over time. With that said, I love the horns and rawness of “can you hear me knocking” and the blues progression in most songs… especially Dead Flowers. All in all, a very solid album top to bottom except a song or two.
When I saw the group was Primal Scream, I was “oh boy, some head banging music”. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I think this was a really good album and I would definitely listen to it more than once. However, it didn’t have any one song I would download to a playlist. I think this band deserves some accolades. The one song that’s interesting is “Kowalski”.
I felt like I was listening to a cross between The Doors and Jet. I like both groups but they weren’t even close to matching them. Thankfully the album was only 38 minutes long.
I loved “where was you at”. Great album and if I could give a half star it would get 4.5. I liked it so much I listened to another one of their records. Great funk sound for 1972!!! I bet KC and Sunshine Band got their inspiration from War!!
I absolutely love REM, but they have better albums than this one. I actually own this one and really enjoy it. REM is one of those bands that I think most people either really like or despise. Regardless, it’s a solid album.
I honestly don’t know what to say about this album. It absolutely left no impression on me. It was totally forgettable. There are worst albums, but not many.
I can see how this album might have been a big deal in 1971, but it’s basically the same note all the way through. A couple good songs, but we knew that already. Nothing spectacular here.
This album took me back in time. It felt like I was a kid again sitting on the couch watching those old westerns with Dad. Other than that, not my bag.
Prior to this, I never heard of The Jesus and Mary Chain. I have to say this is one of the best albums I heard in a long time. This was right up my alley. It was top notch. I will probably download this entire album.
I heard the song before, but I forgot how cool the song “Superfly” really is! All in all, a decent album today, but in its time, it was rock solid. One of those albums you need to be in a special mood to truly enjoy it. GOTTA LOVE “ Pusherman”.
Too many of their songs sound the same. However, there are some whimsical lyrics. I think you either like this band or not. I also believe they really made a career based on one really good song, “you have the right to party”.
DMR is no longer a one hit wonder band in my books. They had some chops. However, there’s nothing overly special about the band but they were a solid band.
Easy to listen too but all of their songs are one speed. Not my kind of music.
An album that everyone should listen to at least once in their life. It embodies early 80’s music.
The foundation of early 90’s “Alternative “ rock. No band has been able to replicate their energy and sound. Green Day turned me on to a whole new style of music that has stayed with me for 30 years. In my opinion Dookie is their signature album and springboarded them to in my opinon absolute Rock N’ Roll Hall of Famers. They have several great albums and Dookie is a must have. Basket Case, When I Come Around and an under appreciated Sassafras Root are classics. This album deserves a 4.9 in my books, but it’s getting screwed because we can only vote 1-5!
If I weren’t a simple man, this would be the exact album I’d put on during a really fancy dinner party at my house. Nevertheless, I actually enjoyed it because it wasn’t too long of an album.
This record didn’t seem to have a timeless or special artistic quality that warrants a top 1,001 album.
I can imagine this album being recorded at some early 1970’s beatnik basement coffee house in NY City where a bunch of musicians are trying to make it. In my opinion Leonard Cohen should’ve been serving coffee and pot instead of performing!!! This was awful!!!!
All in all, not terrible. However, I wouldn’t have lost any sleep knowing I might not of heard it prior to my demise.
This was a fun listen but not anything to write home about.
This was a really fun listen. You can’t help but feel good after listening to it.
Heavily Blues influenced album. Enjoyed 50% of it. The Doors are who you thought they were.
This was a unique listen. I can see why it’s in the 1,001 albums. Not my type of music.
Album was ok but was probably a little groundbreaking for its original sound in 1971. Frankly, DB has at least 2 or 3 better albums than this one.
This pretty much had the same beat throughout the whole album. Nevertheless it was kind of enjoyable
An absolute masterpiece! If I had to pick only 50 albums to listen to for the rest of my life… this would be one of them.
