1001 Albums Summary

Musicianship is excellent (as you’d expect) and a number of the songs are excellent but overall let down by Waters whole hating an education system that, frankly, he and his generation were privileged to benefit from. Quite a lot of the writing around that subject feels like a parody and feels like it was written by a 14 year old.

Not my cup of tea at all so not really fair for me to review. The best I can say about it is that it’s comfortably ignore-able.

Short and sharp. High energy. Not bad.

Utterly anodyne. And her vocal style (singing around all the notes) never gets less irritating!

I’d give it a zero if I could. In all the history of music I pray that this is the low point!

Genuinely not sure what to make of this. Some of it was quite interesting but ultimately none of it was enjoyable.

This is a strange one. Didn’t get into thrash/speed metal when it started. First heard this in the late 90’s and quite enjoyed it. Not so much now. I imagine that if I listened to it more often and properly that it might go up to a 3 but ultimately not quite my taste

I love this album. I want to give it 5 but I recognise that it’s not perfect - clearly far from perfect in the eyes of of a lot of people!😂

Not the sort of music I like at all I’m afraid

Probably my favourite Led Zeppelin album but doesn’t quite have the consistency of led zep 4.

Pretty awful. Kind of figures that Kurt Cobain was a fan!

Can’t decide if this is a 3 or a 4. Some absolute classics on here but also a fair few that there’s a reason that they’re not better known

This is a 3.6 really but rounding down to 3 would be unfair

Not a 3 but nor is a 2 fair.

Not heard of them before but really quite liked it

Seemed reasonably interesting at first but then the same problem as all electronic music, the repetitive loops get, well, repetitive and boring.

Not perfect by any means but a really good album.

Really not sure what to make of this. It wasn’t horrible but also not great. I’d have probably given it a three but it went on too long and ultimately I couldn’t be bothered to listen to the last three songs.

Didn’t hate it didn’t love it. Ultimately it’s not really my cup of tea.

I feel bad giving this a 1. It’s not that bad but it’s not my cup of tea and I have to admit I starting to find it really irritating very quickly, I don’t know why really.

This was ok. I want to like CSN&Y but apart from the obvious there was very little on here that grabbed me.

Legendary song writer: apparently Loved by all her peers: apparently. Beautiful voice: yes Do I know or care what she’s wittering on about?: no

I’m reluctant to only give this a 1 or a 2 because there’s nothing bad about it, it’s just not my cup of tea but, I did start to find it really grating after the second piece so 2 it is in afraid

Maybe I gave up too quickly. Not for me.

Feels like an album that’s trying to be clever rather than actually entertain anyone.

I’d give it a 0 if I could

Never been a fan of George Michael or wham so no guess not surprising that in didn’t like this. As someone else has noted for most of the songs it sounded like the Mike was as far away from George as possible. I did actually quite like the last song (waiting (reprise)) but even so, a really boring album.

Firmly in the category that life is too short for this rubbish.

Yeah, no. Not for me. Maybe I didn’t give it enough of a chance but having just listened to Kid A by Radiohead my tolerance for stuff I don’t like is at rock bottom.

I don’t give many 5s and wasn’t going to but then one of the reviews reminded me that there’s no filler at all on this album, all good or great songs. That sounds like the definition of a 5!

While acknowledging a previous reviewers comments that the lyrics make no sense, I really quite enjoyed this album.

I quite enjoyed this but as others have suggested, there’s nothing in it that made me think that I must listen to it again.

I wanted to like this (or, at least, just not hate it) because of the amount of criticism they receive but God it’s dull.

Really enjoyed this. I don’t think it’s necessarily a 4 but better than a 3. I get comments about the matters that they’re singing about but almost no popular music of any era pop passes that test and those that might tend to be both boring and insufferable!

I wanted to like this and thought it started well but by the end I was just bored of it.

Could be a 5 but not quite as good as led zep 4 so a 4 it is.

I’d give it 0 if I could
