1001 Albums Summary

Listened many times – great album.

Surprised by the album. Some Talking Heads music feels too esoteric and arty for me to really enjoy. This is just joyous and feels like some of David Bowie's fun albums.

Pink Floyd feel to it.

I can see why this was such a monumental album when it came out in the early 70s but it's just not for me. It's too raw and disjointed.

No matter the fanfare or lauding I hear about Bruce Springsteen, I just can't get over how it feels like just some guys uncle yelling at a wedding. I feel the same way about anyone with this kind of voice. Benson Boone, Hosier, Mumford & Sons. Stop yelling.

Long. Lots of filler. Only one or two highlights. I imagine when it came out it was revolutionary but there have been too many new albums that are better to make it worthwhile.

Couple good tracks

horns

Strong, but a bit too maximalist for me. I might've been burned by too many nights spent near trustafarians in Clifton, Bristol to enjoy this music.

Lou Reed's bored lilt might be endearing to some people, but it reminds me of the guys who are trying their best to be aloof and cool. That he was friends with someone as effortlessly cool with David Bowie when he made this album makes that worse. Musically a fun album, but not one that I loved.

Great musicianship, but albums like this make me realize I love a tight 40-50 minute album with 10 tracks.

Can't in good conscious give this a true listen.

One of the worst things I've ever listened to in my life.

A little avant garde and fun, but not for me.

Not a huge fan of the blues
