1001 Albums Summary

Better than expected from so much Depeche Mode hate. Slow songs kind of drag and are a kind of boring, but the driving songs are pretty solid and keep me engaged. Reminds me of NIN with less distortion, similar singing and industrial sounds.

Why haven't I heard this album? Has the typical Freddy style, but man, does Brian go hard on some of these songs. You can really hear that early British, Beatles style rock, but with moments of their now very popular singles that they are known for peeking through. Overall really solid album. With their popular later albums, I find that I like 2-3 songs and don't care for the rest, but this was pretty solid all the way through.

Great album. Smooth the entire way, a great way to wind down.

Loved this album. Had not heard of Jurassic 5, but will be listening to more of them. Classic 90s hip hop with a message of raising each other up. Nothing to hate here.

Pretty solid. Don't think I would seek this out to do nothing but listen to music, but if it was playing in a room during a gathering of some sort, it would be a welcome addition.

Wow.... just a wonderful album. Need to find it when I'm at the record store.

Not my cup of tea. Whiny yelling over sampled famous rock songs.
