1001 Albums Summary

Enjoyed! Would listen again. Catchy. Last song was odd and seemed out of place on album.

Can appreciate it for its pioneering and groundbreaking place in rock history. But not something I’m going to listen to on the regular.

Liked it. A blast from the past. We used to call this band Depressed Mode in high school cause it’s what the goth kids listened to. Reminds me of the Cure.

I’ve never listened to an entire Elvis album before. It was about what I expected. Probably not something I’d listen to on the regular. Maybe I’ll change my mind as I immerse myself in more older albums. I appreciate Elvis for his place in music history. It’s interesting to hear music produced before rock and country had diverged so much. There is other music from the same year that I do like a lot that had progressed much further towards a more modern sound.

Couldn’t decide between a 3 or a 4. I went with 4. I think I’d like to listen to these guys some more. It took several listens before getting the tunes down. They weren’t super “catchy” but they were still enjoyable to listen to.

Unique. Innovative. Fun. Loved it!

I usually listen to to these albums at least a couple of times to give the music a chance to catch on.I only listened to this one once. He’s very talented but I just know it’s not my thing. I probably sound like uncultured swine but during the second song on the album I couldn’t help but think of that French chef from The Little Mermaid.

So damn good!

WTF?

Boooooooring!!!

This music would be a lot of fun in the right setting. I’d love to sit in a small jazz club and listen to stuff like this. For everyday listening, not so much my thing. I almost gave it 4/5 but it wasn’t quite there.

I liked this a lot more than I expected to. I thought it would be super screamy and over the top. But it was really good.

I’m torn between a 3 and a 4. I’ll give Prince the benefit of the doubt and assume this album will catch on with a few more listens. Take my 4 stars Prince.

Did I enjoy this album? No. No, I did not.

The song Imagine is fantastic! The rest of the album could be songs of the Teletubbies and the song Imagine would still be good enough to earn the overall album five stars. As it is, the rest of the songs are pretty damn good too.

I never met an R.E.M. album I didn’t like. Solid 4 stars for this one.

Very talented. Just not my cup of tea. Actually tea is not cup of tea either. But, I digress.

Better than Kanye, who was the previous hip hop artist I reviewed.

I could get used to these guys. Will be relistening.

Not my genre of choice but good for what it is.

Previously unknown band to me. I will be checking out their other stuff.

This is the best album I’ve listened to yet on my 1001 albums journey. The homophobic slur on Money for Nothing was unfortunate on an otherwise perfect song. I understand the song is a third person narrative of a character who is meant to be unlikable, but still. The instrumentation on all the songs was incredible.

I fluctuated between 3 and 4. I’m going to go with 4.

Started out nice. Got a little screamy later. Still gonna give it 4 stars despite the screaminess.

I’ll be listening to this again. Enjoyed listening in both language versions.

I want to like prog rock more than I actually do. Like my first time drinking coffee, I had the sense that it was probably an acquired taste and that if I kept with it, it would be worth it. On my first listen, I would have given this a 3, but with subsequent listening sessions I think I can give it a 4.

Nope!

Nice. Mellow. Liked about 80% of the songs.

I like you too! I mean,I like you two! I mean, I like U2! Spelling matters.
