1001 Albums Summary

Good at what they do

Smooth and uplifting

Strong

Exquisite. Still have my vinyl copy from the 70s.

Mostly didn't move me. Reminded me of Owl City and went on forever.

Some nice noise but didn't do much for me.

What it is man what it is

Uh, no

Too breathy and meandering for me

Artsy and muscular

Love it

Good music for a long car ride

What!? Why???

I love these guys but hadn't heard anything on here before. Very sweet.

Did nothing for me

Nice

Nice but not my favorite

Like a supernova

Nice, but I don't speak the language

Doesn't spark joy for me

Not my favorite but much much goodness

Worth a close re-listen

Hardcore punk

Crunchy!

Grungy!

Nice

Poetic and sometimes brutal but not a musical style that appeals to me

Swingin'!

Rockin'!

Sweet and sublime

Fun!

Classic and classy

Love him, don't love the album

Huh?

OK I guess

Bleak

Didn't make me want to barf

Sounds good, not too long, but cryptic lyrics

Sublime

Except for Sound and Vision, doesn't do anything for me. It was experimental, and I guess he liked the results, because he did the same thing on Heroes.

Gnarly and reminds me of Patti Smith, but nothing I'd need to hear again

A gem

Great singer

Could have been worse

Tasty guitar, a surprising amount of it acoustic, but Robert Plant's voice makes my skin crawl

I was surprised to find out that the name of the band and a big lyrical influence was primal scream therapy. The two hits are great and there were a couple of other points that caught my attention. Overall a lovely sound.

Sublime

Kinda fun

Wow, this was fun!

Wow, very tight

Kind of fun

Not bad

Nice

Groovin'

Surprising

For me, when his songs are satisfying musically as well as lyrically they're mind-blowing, but when they're just streams of poetry backed by guitar, not so much so. Pretty impressive for a debut album though.

So pleasant, and so intimate sounding on the earbuds

Really?

Whew, finally.

Sweet

Didn't get through it. Not the worst thing I've ever heard.

The band is great, but the songs are putrid, and the singer sounds like his shorts are too tight. This would have been a great instrumental album.

It grew on me

Very refreshing

Classic

I don't know what makes good jazz, but I liked this.

Some good sounds but it really doesn't speak to me.

Fun baby!

Didn't move me

Not bad

Nice

Absolute riot!

Some real gems

Smokin"

Incendiary

Reggae bliss

Sweet

Ambitious and not the worst thing I've ever heard

Bliss

Pretty crunchy but doesn't really resonate with me

I sort of liked the parts where there was actually music

Dude

Couldn't get through it, but what I heard didn't speak to me

Awesome

Every track is like an explosion.

Actually kind of fun

Divine

Exquisite

Not bad

Well, don't need to hear that again. Although it sometimes reminded me of Talking Heads.

Tremendous

Some good stuff

Australian punk, who knew

I like the sound, but was disappointed to learn the lyrics are meaningless

Pretty nice

Loved it! Very interesting, sounds great and lots of good French practice.

Rockin'

Interesting

Didn't listen this time around, but I do like this album

Good road trip music

Fun

RIP

This was surprising. I like these guys but didn't know about this album. Very cool.

Another surprise. Very interesting.

Very strong set

Nice

Harrowing

Such a joy

Wonderful

Don't need to hear that again

Nice

Overlong. Should have been a single LP.

Respect

Pure delight

Great sounding band but the lyrics didn't make much sense to me.

Love these guys

Majestic

Loved it

What a blast

A gem

Huh, noise rock

Really enjoyed it

Loved it

So sweet

Interesting

Not bad

Enjoyable

Crisp, joyful and rocking. Such a pleasure to listen to.

The real deal

Uh, no

Cool

Ah, non

Rockin'

Swampy

Fun

Solid

Doesn't do it for me. The songs are mostly silly and then there's the vocals...

RIP

Nice

I admire the concept and enjoyed it when I was paying attention.

Loved it

Great stuff.

Kind of fun, but since they mostly just want to talk about themselves it didn't do much for me.

Loved it

I loved this, so beautiful

This guy's got problems

Sublime

Nice

So sweet

Not the worst thing I've ever heard but I wouldn't listen to it again.

Kinda fun

Well done, but doesn't do much for me

This was very unique and confessional. It reminded me of Brian Wilson somehow. I'm glad I heard this and I'd like to hear some of his other stuff.

Well yeah

Nice

Silly

All hail

Joyous

Very weird

A prescription for keeping the flame of love and hope burning after entering adulthood and the grind of the working world. It came out as I was graduating high school and offered a heads-up as I was getting ready to leave home. One of the best ever.

A joy to listen to

Well done

What a talent. RIP.

Sounds great
