1001 Albums Summary

Surprised by this. Will listen again.

Total blast from the past. Good to hear it again. Took me right back to a world before children 😁

Fabulous to hear the singles but the rest didn’t cut it for me.

Awful

Oh dear. Indulgent nonsense.

Never listened to this as a whole and was sick of the singles at the time due to constant radio exposure… but what a talent. The years have been kind to this album. I’ll listen again.

A familiar album but I hadn’t understood its significance till now. To think it was released as Thatcher came to power… will def listen again.

Completely passed me by until now. Shuddered at the description of a ‘concept album’ but it sounded far more recent than 1969. Enjoyed. Will I add it to repeat listening? Yes!

Hmm… bland. Only got half way through

Not my kind of thing. Might have helped if I’d had a Margarita in my hand and it wasn’t minus five with snow outside…

Not for me. Think I’d need to be high/tripping to enjoy this. Disappointed

Really not my kind of thing. Struggled enormously

Never heard of this before now. Not life changing, but not objectionable either.

Bland and samey… not as melodic as the singles might have suggested

Loved this. Knew the singles of course… version I listened to was remastered in 2021 but sounded incredibly fresh.

Superb. Much better than I’d anticipated

Meh

An unwelcome insight into the misogyny and ageism of rap culture. Music surprisingly engaging but too many fucking motherfuckers for my radio-edit ears.

Guff

Irritatingly noodly

Hoped it might be quite Blues Brothers-ish… no such luck. Oh dear.

Hints of genius interspersed with drug-induced nonsense… presumably by ‘69 they were too big for the studios to give guidance. But I surprised myself… took me back to s time in life, and I’m still almost word perfect. Iconic.

A hard no.
