1001 Albums Summary

I listened to OK Computer a long time ago, but I never heard this one. This guy's vocals take some getting used to, so I see why people say he sounds like a whiney college kid. On the other hand, my ears loved the guitar tones and overall instrumentation on most of these songs. I agree with the hivemind that this is a solid 4/5.

- I knew this was a early punk classic, but never listened to it in full. - Lots of things going on here. Influences from all kinds of other genres. - American Punk > British Punk in my biased opinion as a huge Ramones fan, but still an awesome record!

Do you really need me to glaze this album? Do you have functioning ears? Easy 5/5. If you think otherwise, I'm sorry your dad didn't raise you on rock n' roll. Side Note: The first time I ate Magic Mushrooms, I put The Song Remains the Same on the TV and cranked the volume to max and had an AMAZING time. 10/10 would trip again.

This was my first foray into Amy's material. I didn't get the hype, but I'm glad I can say that I gave it a fair chance.

- Never heard of this band before; finally a blank slate! They got my attention from the first note with synths and fuzz that tickle my ear drums. Full of poppy energy and weird sexual tension. This list is showing me that I don’t really know shit about British Music outside of Punk and New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

Yep, that's an Elton John record, alright. While I can't deny his musical talent, his music is like background noise and easy listening to me, at best. I enjoy the forwardness of the piano and the heavy influence of gospel on this record, but I feel like a lot of the songs overstay their welcome. A nice change of pace, but nothing I would purchase on vinyl.

Yep, that was something. A couple of good riffs, but boring as hell otherwise. If waking up hungover with the shakes was a record.

- I agree with another reviewer who said, "This album fucks." - Undeniable cornerstone of R&B and I love this buttery smooth instrumentation. And MAN can this guy sing.

Man, what a great album. I enjoyed every second of this. From the lyrics, to the instrumentation, to the overall feel; this guy sings from the soul.

Man, this sounded a lot better when I was 14 years old and full of bitterness towards the world. Just doesn't hit the same as an optimistic 20-something. God lives rent free in Marilyn Manson and Glenn Benton's heads.

It's Iggy Pop, you either love him or you hate him. I prefer his work with The Stooges over his solo work, but this album sonically slaps.

Groovy, dude. To say this album is a two-hit wonder is a little harsh. Listen to those riffs and piano. Solid record!

Interesting soundscapes but I don't think I "get" New Wave.
