1001 Albums Summary

This is great end to end, every track is essential, each so melodic and innovative enough to be interesting. I need to listen to this way more often. Great production and sound quality as well.

I'm surprised at how much I liked this and realize that I need to listen to The Doors more often. Sure enough there are some deep tracks on the 2nd half that I'm totally unfamiliar with and almost all are a pleasant surprise. And of course there are a few completely essential tracks on here. Very good audio quality.

I'm fucking pissed that I took this album for granted when it came out and that I haven't had this in rotation more for the past 30 years. I'm also pissed that there's no talent anywhere near to this anymore. The deep tracks kill - The Day The Niggaz Took Over will play constantly from now on...there's funk flute in Lil' Ghetto Boy. 6 stars.

Outside of the 2 well known singles, haven't really been missing anything else on here. Exceptions being '40' and maaaaybe 2 Hearts.

First album I am unfamiliar with! Obvs I can't judge this genre but am thankful for being sent this album and feeling blessed to experience it. Am very happy to add this to my rotation, it sounds great and makes me happy.

Once again listening to a v familiar album all the way thru for the first time in a while - every track is a 5 out of 5.

I should like Sonic Youth and this album more than I do, but...I just don't. The heavy distorted guitar and driving drums are pretty great but I'm not compelled to seek this out.

Shoutout to the saxophone on Fireplace

There are some Bauhaus songs that I absolutely love but many on here are for a very specific mood. The production quality is not great on the version I listened to.

Liked this way better on a 2nd listen - I knew none of these tracks other than Once in a Lifetime, they're all pretty spectacular.

This didn't live up to how I had it built up in my mind - I'm sure it's great but there's a number of tracks that I don't connect with.

Totally unexpected sounds on this album - I thought the Freddy's Dead cover was totally bonkers on first listen but I've fallen in love with it. Lot of tonal & musical variety on this. Need to listen to this a lot more.

No surprise but pretty great all the way through - another one I need to listen to more.

Beautiful album, definite Wes Anderson aesthetic, needs the right mood.

Even though nothing here really catches my ear, it's an enjoyable listen throughout

Nary a weak track on this LP - there's a few I was not at all familiar with and those are all a good as if not better than the greatest hits.

This is an interesting one to be introduced to - I certainly know her name but have never really dialed in on her work. The Coen bros movie collaborations make sense. This is certainly a beautiful album and one that I'll listen to when in the mood - the production and sound quality is great. Her middle name is Howard.
