1001 Albums Summary

Good Guitar texture Not my kind of audio mixing Good album to zone out with but really just not fully my kind of thing. I think a bit too lo-fi

Alex Lifeson is a wizard holy moley. Absolutely loved this, amazing piece of prog rock with just some of the best solos I've ever heard

A lot of talent indeed, but I found the album was really boring the longer it went on. A lot of sparse instrumentation and repetitive motifs.

Tapped my toes to the tunes, but Dylan's voice and singing style just completely take me out of it. A problem with him I don't think I can overcome.

An album that I think is just goddamn fun. A whole bunch of shred and metal to bring adrenaline to the veins

An album I would technically fine and be okay with, if it wasn't for an incessantly annoying squeaky flute on every song that completely ruins it.

Fantasticly done lounge jazz, very conversational between the instruments. Take Five is, of course, an all timer and stand out best song on the album

Incredibly interesting and historical to the art of sampling and even electronic in general. I can hear its influence in many things I love that came out since. That said, it feels very much one of those influential pieces that has been very much topped since, and feels simple in retrospect. The vocal tracks specifically do not feel as ahead of it's time as the rest, instead making it extremely dated to the late 80s. But I can still feel just how genius this album and how important it is for what I love.

Was alright, but I find I much more into specific Joel sonfs rather than him as a whole. Great storyteller though

Thought it absolutely phenomenal. The energy and jovialness of the performance just radiated throigh, and the songs are great

I think Paul is great, and I love the Beatles, but this is a really really weak album. Some great IDEAS but nothing feels fully formed. Feels rushed out, needed more time in the oven

I completely just don't get this type of free-form jazz piano. I'm sure people who get it see the artistry, but to me it always just sounds like playing piano terribly

Insanely good. Liked every single song on this album

Already one of my favourites of all time. I love the way it uses the 2 lead singers of The Pixies especially

This one I was surprised by how it hit me. The tone felt very personal and real, resonant. Like something that John Lennon felt just had to come out of him.

The production isn't terrible, but every song felt the exact same, and the lead singer added so little to it all.

Yeah, everything I've hear about it holds up. One of the best albums of all time for sure. Just stunning. The tone of it is just so beautiful and relaxing. You can tell George wanted to make this for a while. So much creativity and artistry

Just a BORING album. Feels like, what are we doing here. And what I really don’t get is, you just had 2 fantastic singles, better than anything on this album… why weren’t they there??????

Fantastic album, some of the best britpop I've ever heard. The second half is a bit slower than my tastes, but also think it is all at equal quality to the first half.

Really really good easy listening. A warning: Spotify pairs it with another album, Streetheart. So be aware Born To Be Wuth You is only the first 8 tracks

Love them, and it is to the benefit of the art they are so experimental. But the experimentation does make this album not fully work for me. Love them, but I don't think I'd listen to this AS an album ever again.

This hit me. The instruments, man. The feeling is just so perfect.

The music is pretty decent and interesting, but is all stretched way too long. Just an insufferably long active listen.

Offensive sounding, an assault on the ears. But I sort of appreciate that about it? When I managed to get into the vibe, I managed to see what it is what about and why someone might like it (even if I didn't)

Well... that sure is a wall of sound

A bland pastiche of punk rock. All the signifiers without any real edge or meaning.

This is your goat? I admit I listen to the worse original mix, but I can't imagine a better fix is that much more interesting

I think it is good and sounds good, but goes really against my listening sensibilities, because it is so background and atmospheric

I already don't like Dylan's voice. It grates on me. But on top of that, I just don't enjoy the vibes of this album. The attitudes he has towards women in the lyrics of this album are not nice and hard to go through.

I found the production a little hit or miss, as in some songs just over-produced. But the rest is just perfect
