1001 Albums Summary

Nice pop/folk album, played very well by an excellent backing band, and sang quite beautifully. This list has lots of albums featuring female singers that do ballads with a guitar, this album is better than all of those.

An hard rock powerhouse of an album, genre defying and still an hell of a listen.

An ok bluesy rock folk pop album of the period, nothing groundbreaking but a nice listen.

A very solid album from a soul funky master, the keyboard arrangements elevates even the more meandering songs, an enjoyable listen with some highlights, including an obvious one.

An ok album, if you're into sad folk ballads.

Not my favourite Genesis album, but it's still a great progressive rock landmark that it's worth listening even today.

Quite good easy listening album, the swing and early jazz influences surprised me, this being an album made in the 80s. Sure it has a couple of cheesy 80s rap/italo disco drivel songs, but if you delete/skip them, this is actually one of the finest elevator music albums ever made, and I mean that as a compliment.

One of the seminal jazz recordings you must listen to. The Duke shows to the crowd attending this concert what classic Jazz at his peak sounded like, a true masterpiece.

Good neo ambient album, if a bit dated. Geogaddi aged more gracefully and is the better album.

Just listen to all their discography. It's worth it, and this album is no exception

Surprisingly good jazzy/pop/easy rock album, the band is on fire and the tracks are all very polished, catchy and well written. You must hate pop with a passion to dislike this one.

It would be a fine pop rock album, but the way she sings makes it almost unbearable.

I understand the historical importance of this album for the hip-hop movement, but it's just a bunch of people rapping over samples taken from Kraftwerk. Just listen to the seminal electronic albums made by that german group, instead.

Sounds like a sountrack for a soap opera, probably one of the most boring, generic and uninspired albums ever made.

A classic

Average post punk album with a very tedious singer

Not the best Nirvana album, but surely a well deserved commercial hit, and a good grunge album anyway.

Interesting classical indian music, a bit of a specialized item anyway, as you have to be quite acquainted with microtones and drones.

One of the pinnacles of pop music, and the 80s sound at its best, people used to test stereo systems with this album.

Now, I can appreciate that this kid could rap, but I don't see why I would have to listen to his repetitive "one sample per song" style for an entire album. Some songs even have the same drum'n'bass base in them...interesting for 2 minutes, then a sound sleep comes in.

Badly sung, boringly played, and every song sounds the same. It also cointains the silliest ballad ever made. To avoid at all costs. Not far is the day when, this blatant copy of the worst Beatles song repeated for an entire album, will be seen as it deserves: with a passing glance of disdain.

This must be one of the best 80s pop albums ever made. Yes, it has synths and drum machines, but it does sound very classy and not cheesy in the slightest. Songs are long but very well structured and not boring at all, I would say that quality wise is in the same ballpark as Phil Collins solo outings, and the singing style is very similar. Top notch stuff. It is overlooked probably because it's too soul prog rock for synth heads, and too electronic for old rockers, but it doesn't deserves to be compared with real 80s corny drivel like Dead or Alive, George Michael, Whitney Houston, and too many others to count.

That kind of nasal shrill vocals turn me off.

Great album

As good as everything Queen have done in the 70s, and that means excellent.

Great metal album

A french guy talks, and sometimes sings, at a very high volume under a very cool soundtrack, that unfortunately gets obscured half the time by the loud soliloquy of this french primadonna. He should have positioned the microphone further away from him, or the producer could have turned down the mic volume by at least 5 db, but alas, neither things did happen. The puritan moralists that condemn this album by its subject matter, should be reminded that talking about something is not the same as promoting or endorsing it. It gets a 2 from me, only for the fact that musically this album is butchered by the LOUD vocals.

A very good disco album, the arrangements by Quincy Jones help a lot in maintaning this album fresh sounding,

Average country album with your run of the mill nasal folk singer. Lyrics may be interesting, but it's an album, not a poem's book: if the music is not on par with the lyrics, it deserves a 2.
