1001 Albums Summary

I knew the title song and Train in Vain for ages, and liked them a lot. However, I hadn't listened to the whole album from start to finish until now. It's like jolly punk-rock. I liked it, but it's not what I would associate with punk-rock (this has no bearing on the rating, who cares about genres tbh).

My first impression was that this album is just fire driving songs. I like it, but I can't really set my mind on what I'm listening to exactly. It's like rock, but kind of folk-y and mellow.

It's Judas Priest, what's not to like? The song "Grinder" might not have aged well, though. Energetic, but if I listen to it back-to-back, it gets a little same.

No ZzZz's here.

Melodic poetry reading. Initially reminded me of Nick Cave. Not for me generally, but I liked the feel of some of the later songs in the album.

I have listened to the Who before and my thoughts have not changed. Old gold!

I found myself in Skyrim. This is not something I would seek to listen to myself. But it seems kind of cheerful and uplifting, if you're into this sort of music. I'm not, though.

It all sounds like the same song all over again. I wouldn't turn this off if it were playing at a chill evening with friends and we're drinking wine, but you wouldn't hear me saying "Hey, we should put on some Leonard Cohen".

Perfect for the gym.

A few songs in, I was going to give this album a 3 out of 5, as in, it's cool, I kinda like it, but it's nothing special. By the time I was done with it Ms Carole King had convinced me that at the very least this is a 4, arguably a 5. The songs resonated with me, and the storytelling is great and overall it just made me feel good. My daily 15-minute walk to grab some lunch disappeared, as I had not even noticed that I had already arrived at my destination in the blink of an eye. 4/5.

It's long and (to me) boring. There are parts of some songs that are interesting, but then Peter Gabriel starts singing, and it throws me off again.

I don’t have anything to say about this album, honestly. It’s not bad, it did not really register in my memory. 2.5/5

I can appreciate the music, and I can think of times and places where I would put this on; it's a vibe. But it's not really "my thing" generally. More like, I enjoyed the upbeat songs because of the mood I was in, especially I love your lovin' ways, and then the change of pace of other songs turned me off.

I have always liked this album. Listened to it again, and business as usual, liked it.

Love the guitar, but I know I like Neil's later music more.

It's alright, I think, but I understand why I had not heard this before. Pablo Picasso and Hospital stood out, but the rest were mostly kind of same same. In contrast to many other non-5/5 reviews, I don't actually mind the lyrics/singing style.

First Elton's album I have listened to from beginning to end and it's great. Hard to follow-up a banger like Tiny dancer though, but the rest is still great. Indian sunset made me want to listen to Tupac again.

It's an album and it has songs on it. 2.5/5

<3 4.5/5

There’s some cool vibey guitar riffs that I enjoyed, but other than that this wasn’t for me really. 2.5/5
