1001 Albums Summary

Already a huge fan. 10/10 revolutionary record and perhaps the greatest curveball in pop music history. Fav tracks: Everything in its right place (opening notes are one of my favorite synth sounds ever), Ideoteque, Motion Picture Soundtrack (absolutely mental organ arrangement that could go toe to toe with the all-time great classical composers), How to Disappear Completely (amazing strings and truly devastating piece of escapism). Least fav: In Limbo/Morning Bell get a little too surreal for me at times but are perfect when in the right mood for an atmospheric listen.

Already a favorite summer album. Sounds great loud in the car with the windows down

Just a great rock album. The "live" feel makes it feel dated just as studio production technology was leaping forward, but the songs are strong and the performances, especially Janis Joplin's vocals and James Gurley's guitar, are amazing.

So campy. 1/3 Bruce, 1/3 Elton, 1/3 80s style ballads

All killer, no filler. Amazing songs.

Really strugling to rate this one. On the one hand, it's a 5 because it defined west coast hip hop / gangster rap. Great songs with world-class production and flows. On the other hand, it's incredibly misogynistic, glorifies violence, and is filled with lousy skits. Going with a "4" since a better version of this could exist.
