1001 Albums Summary

slaps

Some bangers and a great album overall - but it does all blend together by the end

Honestly a vibe

the overall atmosphere i'm a big fan of - and reminds me so much of my childhood and music my dad played

oh no

Didnt't think i'd be a fan but i actually am!

I really love the essence of the album but sometimes i got a tiny bit bored of it by the end. Not as great as I remember it tho tbh and I don’t think it’s really my thing, but I can appreciate it.

Not the biggest fan but got into it by the end

Really enjoyed - I love jazz and live jazz is even better

I love the police so much

Chill but needs more banjo

Big fan of the vibe - lowk matched perfectly to the early modern history revision i was doing. Lived for the random flutes.

I'm a big fan particularily of the bridge of one way or another

I felt like I just got into each song and then it ended - maybe would listen if I was a teen boy who wanted to be in a punk band in the 2000s … but I’m not so… I got into the vibes tho I do love good drums and a strong baseline and honestly didn’t hate it. Good motivation music but did get a it headachey and repetitive

I’ve been listening to a lot of U2 so this was great!! Not as good as the Joshua tree in my opinion but still a great album!! I particularly liked who’s going to ride your wild horses but all of the songs slapped. Bono can’t be topped

This is great what?!?! I’ve listened to his songs stand alone but never a whole album and I’m honestly shaken (in a good way). The incredible medley and atmosphere of sound that he creates is insane and the balance of rock with jazz, rock and roll, soul and blues is crazy and then random calms with songs like ‘moon turn the tides gently gently away’. I don’t think I’d listen to it on a daily basis because sometimes it’s such a wall of sound you can’t get past it - but I can appreciate how beautifully crafted this album is and it’s a strong 3.5 but rounded down not up.

It was ok - I see the vision and did like it at the start but I don’t know why but it made me incredibly stressed

Iconic pop album but it got abit too much by the end (for me)

Made a stressful day much more stressful - what is going on?

Why is he always running. Who is chasing him. Sounds like a middle aged man in a rant but I feel like if I deep his music more I could understand it more

There was a reason I hadn’t re-listened to this album and now I remember. I feel very sorry for whoever’s first impression of Bowie this is but I do love it regardless, despite i think his earlier music being better. Overall it is a great album but I’m stuck between a 3 and a 4 because I do love the vibe but don’t know if the lyrics/ vocals match the level of the actual music

Very intrigued by the lyrics of ‘if…’. Unsure if intrigued is the right word as well

Great band, great album! I love the overall instrumental/ musical vibe and got me through doing comparative study last night 💪

Didn’t know what to expect but I really liked it!!

Intruiged by the lyric ‘I’m as calm as a fruit stand in new York’. Big fan of the harmonica though but not of the man. Wish it was Bryan Adams 😔. Not BAD but not GOOD, sort of thing you’d hear playing in a bar trying to be a bit more ‘country’ or a bad country selection on the radio
