1001 Albums Summary

Excellent look into a legend. I particularly liked how at times one song led right to the next and the band kept playing in the background. BB is a storyteller, with words, song, and his guitar playing. Long live the King!

Sometimes, genius needs guardrails. Or at least an editor. The first 2/3 of the album was difficult to listen to, almost as if Jimi was trying too hard to replicate "Are You Experienced?" while showing his depth as an artist. Anyway, the redemption of the last 3 tracks makes this album stand up as a classic and earns back one of the stars in my rating.

I hadn't really given the Velvet Underground a full listen. They are so pleasant and easy to listen to, I will be giving them more playtime in my rotation. The album flowed nicely, and my only minor gripe is the lack of a standout track(s).

Am I the only one who finds David Byrne’s voice to be grating?! Every song was so similar it just blended into my background noise. Not a fan

Wow wow

Perfect soundtrack for my walk downtown leaving the office today

It’s Paul Simon. It’s fine. A little boring. Easy to listen to

Comeback? Maybe don’t next time

Disco? But make the album jazz too? Some of the songs are too long but surprisingly better than I expected

Glad I “revisited” this album. Younger me didn’t like Dylan because of his raspy voice. But now that I have a more trained ear, I can hear the nuance, appreciate the musicality, and the amazing poetry. One of the greats!

Funky. Fun. Easy to dance to and powers a good workout. I swear I have this on vinyl somewhere. Anyway it’s a great listen end to end but gets a little repetitive. Carried by the hits and some hidden gems. Solid

It’s fine. A perfectly 80s rock album but nothing more than generic
