1001 Albums Summary

Didn't enjoy it. Samey.

Unmistakably Bowie. I found it okay, but nothing more.

This had much more big band in it, and less r'n'b, than I'd expected. Most of the songs here seem to be standards, independently of Ray Charles's treatments of them.

I'm familiar with this one. Great album, one of his best.

I really enjoyed this.

Not as funky as expected, but good.

Not as Arabic/African as I'd expected.

Starts okay, goes on way too long.

Decent.

Bastard racket

Enjoyable.

Subdued.

Shite.

A classic.

The tedious sound of a millionaire trying to be working class. Stadium rock.

I vaguely knew this one, mostly because of the title track, which is great. The rest is good in places.

Some great stuff.

Familiar with this one. A great heavy band with a not inconsiderable gift for pop tunes.

Hip-hop with great musicianship. What's not to like?

Okay if I'm in the mood for reggae, which I rarely am.

Brillint.

An absolute bastard racket.

I don't like the whole LP, but some is great.

Overrated.

Neneh Cherry with more kit.

Not their finest, but still pretty good. Right up my street.

Hogwash.

Middling.

Pfft.

So much filler.

I enjoyed listening to this again.

Shite.

Okay in short bursts.

Wonderful.

Lovely album.

Hogwash.

Patchy.

Makes jazz sound tuneful. Absolute shite. No stars.

Big band jazz. What you'd expect.

Nah.

Meh.

Good, but patchy.

Okay.

Some good stuff, but patchy.

Mostly great, some filler.

Meh.

My favourite LZ LP.

Quirky, okay for an occasional listen.

Great to hear again. Tailed off a bit at the end.

Nah.

Good stuff.

The first track is great, a couple of others almost match it, and some is experimental.

Jazz = shite

Meh.

Pretty good, brilliant in places.

One great tune and a load of shite.

The title track is brilliant. The rest is good.

Patchy, but with great moments.

One-and-a-half stars.
