1001 Albums Summary

Not for me. Too harsh. Didn’t get much from the lyrics. Seems important in the evolution of music, but I didn’t enjoy listening.

Yeah pretty good. Didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it.

Liked it as a hype playlist, some cool guitar stuff. Wouldn’t put it on unless I wanted a very specific or ironic vibe probably

This was actually really good. The fact it was a live album was awesome. Huey Lewis on the harmonica? I would listen to this again. Might print a photo of them and put it on my wall. Can’t listen to it all the time, but it’s good

Yeah it was pretty good, a little weird tbh. I like the more ska / pop stuff they make

Glad I listened to this! Not sure it’s my favorite but interesting to see this version of The Beach Boys. More politically focused. Cool.

Meh. Tbh I didn’t listen to the whole thing. Had some folk-y things I liked; the lyrics I didn’t love.

I see how this guy was probably important, but to me he was like a worse Radiohead. Maybe he walked so they could run. The last song on this album was ok

Yeah pretty good. Too bad I listened to Thin Lizzy first—I think they have more action and drive. However, if I was listening to this on a boat or in a sick car or on a dope motorcycle, I wouldn’t complain.

Eh. A bit of Leonard cohen thanks for the dance but not for me

A little too grungey for me, but had some fun moments

Yeah I really liked this. I could see where Colter wall got his inspiration from. Would listen again.

I see how this is foundational, but I didn't love listening to it.

Nah. A couple good songs, but I’m not an Elton John fan. Why does he keep talking about his sister looking good and 16-year-olds? Don’t doubt this was a big album when it came out, but it’s not for me.

I liked it! Didn't love his voice all the time, and it had some cacophony endings that I dislike most of the time. That said, I had already had one song on this album saved in my liked songs on Spotify, so I think that's saying something.

I liked it. Fun sound. Some pretty funny lyrics (you can’t sleep walk if you don’t sleep). Kind of prog rock.

I liked it, had some cool beats and some recognizable songs. Some challenging lyrics which I liked too. Probably won’t listen again h unless I’m showing somebody else.

Wasn’t a huge fan. Pretty songs, kind of Elton John esque. The last song was better than the rest of the album

Tbh listened to it in the background, but it seemed good

You can’t just say the same thing over and over again dude

Pretty cool. Not sure how he does that with his voice. The people really were screaming! Only 30 min though? Did he leave after? Didn’t recognize any of the songs, but they were good

I liked this. A lot of bangers from George.

I liked some of the songs; I didn’t love the lead singers voice; some of the experimental things were cool. Prob won’t listen again but glad I know this now

I liked the soft growl in the singer’s voice. I thought the guitar was intriguing, and it had a twang to it that i liked. The lyrics felt good ona a first pass. Would listen again.

I mean, didn’t love it didn’t hate it. Glad i know it now

Yeah it was pretty good!

I mean, is there anything to say? It’s the Eagles. I didn’t know every song on this album (and I’m not sure I’d listen to all of them), but for me, it can’t get any better.

Wouldn’t mind listening again, but didn’t love it. I like Use Somebody better

Saved 2 songs. Weird though. Not sure I really enjoyed the listen. Sounded like a cool concert though. The experimental thing in this case I don’t totally love.

Ehhhh I don’t think I’ll listen again. Again, wish I was alive when this came out the first time, but I didn’t love it

Really like this actually. Some of the songs made me laugh. I like the harmonica. His voice is funny sounding, but that’s ok. The vibe of the songs put me at ease.

I mean, it’s just fantástico. Felt like I heard Vienna in a whole new way. Glad I listened to the hole album, there were some songs I had never heard before. Made me think of Vincenzo.

Eh—it was ok. I respect that it probably was luminary. The cereal song was funny. Some of the samples seemed ahead of their time. But prob won’t listen again.

I get it but I don’t like it

There goes your man was a good song. The rest was a little harsh for me

Pretty heavy, wasn’t really gripped by any of the songs. Maybe if I was mad I would

Again, I appreciate what these bands are doing. Pushing the envelope, responding to their own creativity. It’s just not good to listen to dude. This is memorable and deserves a 2 instead of. 1 just because it’s called space rock and I got 1-2 chuckles out of the songs.

Ehhhhh harsh again! I just can’t take it. In another life/time maybe I’d like it. But right now, wouldn’t seek out listening to this again. I like a melody. Sue me.

Pretty good. Couldn’t stop thinking of Rent—the main guy’s voice would be perfect for a rock opera.

Feels more like a 4.5, but it deserves a high score regardless. This one is probably timeless.

It was funky, would listen again; liked it in the background. Some weird sounds that were unpleasant

I like their sound. It didn’t grip me necessarily, but seems like it would be a fun concert to go to.

Yeah pretty good —thinking of sandlot

Yeah I mean it was good. I can’t really appreciate it for what it is though; to me it just sounds like good big band music. I know there’s a specialness to it, but I don’t feel it.

Not my cup of tea

I like 1.5 of the songs—pale blue eye one (Edgar Allen Poe referenced and I half-like the “if you close the door”… song bc they sing it in that Florence Pugh movie. The rest of the songs were ok

Not for me.

Imma be honest I did not listen to this. I’ve listened before and thought it was pretty good. Just didn’t have it in me

Not good. That classic 60s voice that frankly isn’t that nice to listen to.

Pretty good! Nice vibe

Yeahhhh it was aight! I liked it better than the other Elvis Costello album.

Yes!

Sometimes I feeeel like this album was not that fun to listen to. He talks a lot. It’s very abrasive. Not for me.

Didn’t love the album but saved a few songs. The radio on Spotify after this was more my vibe.

Tough voice to love. But an interesting album.

Fantastic. Just my vibe. I had already had 2 songs saved. None of the others were too memorable to me so not giving a 5, but I would happily listen to this album again.
