1001 Albums Summary

Just don’t get it. I don’t like his voice and the music’s okay

3.5! Like Devo, MCR, and The Fratellis’ 90s Brit pop punk cousin.

2.5

2.5. Love some PSB hits, but this album felt flat and boring.

Very talented artist with a beautiful voice. Album is inventive, safely experimental, and rich, but not really my personal cup of tea (other than Sir Greendown, which has been a fav song for years). Emulating a variety of styles, genres and artists is cool and shows an impressive knowledge of music, but then you’re that artist that sounds like a bunch of other artists rather than your own unique style. Nothing wrong with that.

Gotta love Louis. Fun, lively and entertaining.

Possibly my least liked album by one of my favorite artists. ‘Time’ has been an all time favorite song for a long time, and Lady Grinning Soul is great, but I can’t say I love the rest of the album. Too frenetic for me, though I get the point with the theme of the album. Overall, a work I appreciate more than enjoy. 3.5 for enjoyment, but 4 because it’s Bowie.

Big fan of A Tribe Called Quest. Exactly the kind of rap/hip-hop I like. Smooth, windows down on a summer day in LA type vibe.

3.5-4 for me, but going for 4 cuz they’re my momma’s favorite band so U2 was sort of the soundtrack of my childhood. Very nostalgic. Sunday Bloody Sunday is an awesome song.

Eh

Fun, inventive, def have their own thing going while fitting in nicely with sounds like Talking Heads, etc.

If we could do half stars, I’d probably give it a 3.5, but it’s closer to a 4 than a 3. Kashmir is a banger. The other songs all kind of blended together to me, and the slightly grittier style of this album isn’t my fav when it comes to LZ.

Another 3.5er for me but I’ll round up. There’s no one else like Bruce. He’s got that sensitive blue collar northern boy style on lock (don’t know why I said that).

Good stuff. A nice listen.

I appreciate this album more than I enjoy it. Kid A (track) lyric process is cool. I can only handle Thom Yorke’s voice in small doses.

Awesome. Not sure how to explain what this album did for me other than “it explained a lot.”

3.5 but rounding up. Not my usual jam but I really enjoyed the vibe while working late at night.

I LOVE early Bowie and glam rock Bowie. This album is neither and I’m sorry, I just don’t like it. Honestly, it’s a 2 in terms of enjoyment but rounding up cuz it’s Bowie.

Not really a fan of smooth jazz pop 90s 🤷‍♀️

Really cool album. Lots of stylistic influences and of course strong Irish roots. Listened on a 4 hour drive and it was great in that context. Wouldn’t listen in any other probably lol. 3.5??

?????? So bad. Like, visceral reaction bad.

I think I have to be in a very specific mood for this, and I was in it.
