1001 Albums Summary

I've seen this album cover, but I've never actually listened to the album until now. Everything on this album from Bowie is relatively un-remarkable. Good, just not remarkable. The three Brian Eno tracks are phenomenal though. I actually thought to myself "Hmm... these sound like Brian Eno." Before googling it lmao. Anyways tracks 7-9 could be their own EP, and I'd be happy.

Going into this album, I didn’t really like the Smashing Pumpkins. And seeing that the album was 2 hours long, I was overwhelmed. I listened to it on the bus ride to class, while waiting for class, walking out of class, eating lunch, waiting for my next class, then i listened to them walking home. The album justifies its length, and I’m glad I got to listen to it

Let me start out by saying that before listening to this album, I was unfamiliar with Beck. I'd listened to "Loser" and that was a guilty pleasure song for me for a while, but who doesn't know that song. Anyways, I had no idea that Beck is actually just one guy. That's crazy, and he's insanely talented. That said, I don't think this album is for me. In my opinion, the first half is pretty solid, and I was pleasantly surprised at what all Beck can do, but I didn't get much of that by the end. Everything become homogeneous. The track that stood out to me the most was "Earthquake Weather." If earthquakes were a weather event, I think this song conjures up what it would look like outside before an earthquake.

There are so many iconic tracks on just this one album, and even the less talked about tracks are bangers.

nauseating and repetitive.

lots of interesting sounds here. i like

All of the songs on this album are good and Muddy Waters is a talented musician. That said, I'm not a fan of blues music in general. The songs are repetitive in nature and after about 3 minutes of the same riff, it gets a bit boring. Great musician, but not for me.

Generic butt rock album. Not bad, just not something I'd listen to.

admittedly, i didn’t finish this album. i put it off until 5pm and then listened to about an hour and a half of it. i liked what i heard, but you gotta be a serious jazz fan to sit down and listen to a 2 hour live album.

Too much sex

Genuinely didn't expect to love this album as much as I did. Maybe my mom does know ball.

This reminds me of long drives with my grandparents. They didn't have any The Band CD's or anything, but they'd play 1960s country music similar to this. I don't see myself listening to this again though.

I realized the original album was only 10 tracks long after i’d already listened to 23 out of the 40 tracks on the remaster. i thought the album was okay. i liked some of the songs. i don’t feel like this was particularly noteworthy for me though.

tracy chapman wrote “Fast Car” and the luke combs version is a cover and everyone knew that except for me until today. chapman has a lovely voice and this album gives me warm fuzzy feelings.

This album makes me happy. I dig it.

Giving this album anything less than a 5 would be blasphemous. Rest in peace Kurt.

i love you pet shop boys.

i did not like this album. it felt boring and forgettable. there’s lots of talent on this album and sonically, it’s pretty decent. there’s just nothing special about it to me. idk if i’m missing something.

Ella Fitzgerald is a fantastic artist with a beautiful voice. She was highly influential and shaped the jazz movement. I can appreciate this choice, and I understand why it was included. It’s an important album. That said, just like with Ellington, I can’t make myself listen to any more than about an hour and a half of this. I liked what I heard, but I’ve heard enough.

I didn’t expect to love this album as much as I did, and I think I loved it because it reminded me of car rides with my grandparents. I also just feel connected to my roots when I listen to old country music.
