1001 Albums Summary

Loved the jazzy psychodelic feel from the start of the album, the accent on the atmosphere, the careful detaled sound mastering. And the beats! The winds were singing, the beasts were crying. Not to mention mad guitar solos (but that's the only thing I already knew about Santana before listening to the album). Great music for a fight with a nemesis in a very confusing sci-fi setting in the jungle which will somehow lead to dancing.

Felt like Ryan Gosling in Lalaland what can I say it's a classic! The dynamic and the freedom of this record is addictive, doesn't feel like background music at all. There's a certain clarity and tone you can hear with no words needed.

I was actually biased towards U2, assuming that their music is overall boring, but I did enjoy the album! Can't say that it was a very big surprise, U2 reputation speaks for itself, it's just that now I do understand the hype. The instrumental is both standard rock-sound set but with a pleasant addition in form of various audio samples on top of it, which creates a special atmosphere where needed. My highlights are: "Love is a song...", "The Refugee", "Red Light", all added to my playlist instantly. All in all, a nice experience, I believe that my love for The Police (especially early records) and Duran Duran plays it's part in my perception, however in some parts it still is too calm and kinda repetitive for my taste.

MY FAVOURITE THING EVER love this album with all my heart love Iggy love the energy love the sound! Although I was familiar with some tracks, I was introduced to the whole album through trainspotting and not only is it an amazing record it's also a mind-blowing soundrack. I listen to "The Passanger" regularly when I need to go on some side-quest alone and it always feels like a movie. Every song is a statement. AND THE LIVE VERSIONS!!!! Iggy is an absolute legend!

It's whimsical and creative in every way, because David is an artist in the first place. Always love his manneurism and text delivery, he would convince me in anything if he wanted to. The gospel elements are the perfect component of the songs. Overall funky impression, especially in "Fascination". This version of "Across the Universe" has so much determination and positivity compared to the Beatles original and I think it's a very Bowie thing to do. "Fame" is a timeless hit!

First time listening to Van Morrison. Was kinda bored in the beginning, started to enjoy it from "I Believe to My Soul". I believe this some quality macho cowboy striptease music.

Planned to listen Massive Attack for a very long time and was very pleased with this first impression. A hip-hop soul reggae electronic mixture comes at you like a huge wave. Great music for a heist movie.

wow what was that

I really enjoyed it from start to finish, great dynamic. There is this heavy british culture code in the way this album is made, something between britpop, acid-house and techno. Very stylish, amazing effortless flow, cool instrumental and vocal support. No skips, all honest bangers.

I'm very fond of "Dancing in the dark", I've listened to it a lot while spending hours on study projects. I see this album as a fundamental cultural phenomenon, you can tell that every song is meant to be an instant hit sung by the whole stadium. Great music for a roadtrip. Also the cover is legendary. 4 only because I can't categorize it as exceptional/innovative.

Man I love progressive rock. First time hearing about this band, so so cool. Amazing work, both as an experimental prog rock project and as a musical experience. I've also caught a hint of j-rock in this. It was so dramatic it could have been a soundtrack for a niche teenage emo movie or an edgy anime opening. P.S. just read the context of this album and it's creation and it all makes sense now

Nice album, but I can't say it was surprising in any way. "More than a feeling" is one of my favourite songs, but listening to the whole album feels like listening to one big 38 minute track.

I don't think I will listen to this on a daily basis, but the album itself is great. I'm a big fan of Eminem, and here are the roots of the atmosphere he and dr. dre created in his earlier works, with interludes, sound effects and eccentric narratives. I like the whole concept, but I'm not a fan of the flow and the songs themselves.

whad did he do to his guitar for it to sound like THAT

It's okay. I appreciate the stylization and songwriting, but it was kinda boring for me. Something between midwest emo and Bob Dylan.

First of all, the cover art is fire. Second, it feels so ahead of it's time it's amazing. Reminded me of Tame Impala, but a bit more complicated. I don't think I can listen to it regularly, but it may be a record to turn up once in a while to dissociate. Good luck to Yoshimi fighting those evil machines.
