1001 Albums Summary

not bad, didnt hate it

I listened to this as a teen. I think my aunty Vees had a copy. I always found her accent grinding. But I am appreciative of the strong storytelling. I was surprised to find I knew all the words.

strong 5/5

Nice enough listening.

Totally a classic. Such a 60's sound too.

Classic Foo-ey's sound. I didn't mind it.

Loved it

yeah nah

Opening bars sound good. As a jazz-hater, dunno how this is gonna go. Bring on the pain I guess. Update: I have not hated this as much as I thought I would. I'm kinda into the crowd enjoying it too

I love(d)Aerosmith, probably not my fav album of theirs. I like the slightly bluesy tracks. Unfortunately, I struggle to remove the art from the paedophile

I bloody love this album. Always have and probably always will.

Great! I loved it.

Loved this whe it came out, but it wasn't as amazing as I remember now that I'm a 36 year old.

Not really my style but I really respect the story and the energy

I can see the importance and kinda loved it. Gotta be in the mood but I think i'll listen again one day and share it

Yeah, nah. I'm sure there's good reason this is an important album.

Love this psychedelic shit

Thank God that's over.

Really love this classic.

I feel like I've wanted to like Beck a lot more throughout my life. But I do not like this album. I have attempted it once before and it just does not sit right with me. I'm hanging out for it to end.

I am glad that I read wiki article first as I could understand the feel of the album. I liked it.

I didn't hate this album. I think I might've heard it historically as my ex used to have it on vinyl. Not to bad, certainly not the whole RAAAAASTAmon thing I was thinking I was going to hear

I don't think I had heard this album before today (likely might've). I feel like the influence of The Beatles ins massive in this album. I had to freshen up on The Beatles timeline to get a grip on how this sound fit in with their musical journey.

Unreal. I am absolutely adoring this album and sound. I think I've uncovered a band that is very much my taste that I haven't given any love to before. The falsetto is divine. The lyrics are funny and great. I can't wait to hear more. Funny timing as Sparks are playing in my town next week but I am unable to go. I would've loved the chance to see the live.

What a time to release a debut. I think the rise of social media at that point, the importance of indie really worked in their favour... In light of that, fucking amazing album. Epic, sure it's a bit samesey, but I still think it captures such a great sounds and moment in musical time.

I hadn't heard of The Pretty Things before (I don't think!) Enjoying the first track. A very 1968 sounds. Hearing a lot of The Beatles influence in Track Two (Fly to the Moon). I kinda wish I had've discovered this album like 15 years earlier when I was a little more into this style of music. Grateful to have come across it though. Cool to know it was the first rock opera though - I dig that kinda creative story-tewling

pretty epic opener with Baba O'Riley. When I was growing up I only thought of The Who as the guy with the nose and My Generation. But this song is pretty damn iconic. BUT - I do now hate the UFC and this track is synonymous with UFC in my brain, ugh annoying. I love the cover art too.

Not sure what is exceptional about this album....

Not my style of music, but I actually like it. I forgot that I had heard it before.

Quite enjoyed it. Way better than the Ambient sounds album. I

Absolutely stunning and haunting.

Really really enjoyed this. I loved "first time I ever saw your face" I'd only heard the James Blake version before. I might rate it 4.5 and be generous
