1001 Albums Summary

It's good pop music with a couple of bangers. However as an album, not overly special. Brilliant cover art.

The three track run is legendary, the rest is fine... Never been a huge MJ fan. Boring cover art.

A new one to me but very enjoyable. Seriously funky, seriously influential. Really enjoyed reading about and exploring this band.

Struggled to rate this one. A couple of incredible songs, and contextually very important. Just a little bit of fill takes it down to a 4, as well as the strange switch from song cycle to a standard album. It's very good, but not quite perfect imo

Found this very tough to review since this style of music is something I would never listen to and I therefore have very little to benchmark this against. A 2 seems harsh, but I'd only be giving it higher based on other people's reviews. For me, it wasn't rubbish, it was entertaining, but due to my own ignorance of the genre, I can't rate it particularly highly. Also the cover art is weird.

I love The Weight. I liked a couple of the other songs. But overall it just wasn't for me. I appreciate the significance of the album but I didn't love listening to it. Also, Richard Manuel's strained voice just annoys me.
