1001 Albums Summary

This is a difficult one, I like everything about the Cure except for their music. Don't like his voice, don't like the big 80s production. I can imagine if you were a disaffected teen in the late 80s this would hit hard. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. It was alright

First exposure outside of their biggest songs, and I'm genuinely surprised how good Thin Lizzy are.

I already knew this was a 5* album, today just confirmed it

I thought this was going to be one of those moments where you find out exactly why a massive band are actually so massive, because they did their best work before you were paying attention... But no. This was extremely average. There was one good song (great, actually) and the rest instantly forgotten. I concede that I pre-judged this album but in a boost to my ego, I was absolutely right to

Six of these songs were unavailable, they've had 60 years to sort out any licensing issues... It was good, I enjoyed it but maybe the best songs were greyed out for me?

It's such a shame they don't make them like this any more. Great performances all round, great energy, great tunes.

I enjoyed this more than I expected to.

Preface: I already hate this band. I really really tried to go into this open minded and give it a chance. It's just all so tepid. No emotion, no power, no performance. Faux-meaningful drivel for lyrics. I can imagine that if you were a baggy-trousered mancunian in the early 90s, this would hit like crack. But times have moved on and so should we.

Never heard this before, but obviously knew the name. Really really enjoyed it. Wasn't expecting any dnb on this journey if I'm honest. This is the first "I will listen to this again" album I've had so far

I feel like a wine girly whose deadbeat boyfriend just broke up with her except I still love him deep down. Imagine having a perfectly fine 3* album and having the confidence to put Someone Like You at the very end of it.

This was fine, I enjoyed it. There were some great songs

My first thought was "He sounds so young! I had never considered that BB King was actually ever young". In enjoyed it, it was good

I didn't particularly enjoy this, I don't think it was really for me.

HATED this. Cannot stand this genre of voice. It sounds like it's difficult for him to sing. It sounds like he's trying to sing while someone is stood on his chest. If your voice is like that, you have no business being a singer. Couldn't even listen to the music. Simply dreadful. Sorry.

Surprisingly great album. I've never heard of Sarah Vaughan before but what a voice

LOVED this. Finished it and immediately put it straight back on. So rich and imaginative, I love a concept album and this grabbed me from the start.
