1001 Albums Summary

Liked it, would listen to again.

Already listened to it.

Groovy, mix of genres. More instrumental than lyric driven. Found out Janet’s “You” was a sample of one of the songs here.

Oh I really liked this. Thought I didn’t care about Billy Joel’s style but it definitely grew on me as I listened to it. I marked a few songs.

Easy listen. Not necessarily a huge fan but a very listeneable and charming album. The fact that it’s live makes it more entertaining. 3/5

Maybe not *my* kind of music, but objectively a good album with classics. Very poignant lyrics. Want to listen to it again another day to fully appreciate the lyricism and the themes explored.

90s rap. If you feel like listening to this, good album. The song with sex sounds kind of grossed me out.

Classic singles and some strong songs that mainly carry this album.

Very theatrical. Wasn’t fully convinced at first but ended up being one of my favorite discoveries in this project. That’s why it gets 5 stars

Meh, too instrumental. I kind of found it boring

Meh. Kind of corny. Not a big far of their voice (turns out Jimmy Fallon’s impression on SNL was more accurate than I thought). You end up singing the final choruses because they can get stuck in your head, but they are not amazing songs

Seems like a very divisive album - some love it, some hate ut. Unfortunately I’m on the side of those who don’t like it. Creepy at moments, with a sometimes umpleasant voice. It does sound authentic and original, I’ll give it that. It’s also certainly cohesive. Music to ambient a haunted mansion in halloween.

Had several songs that I knew just not by name - but songs that you’d have heard if you’d ever been around straight 30yo men or in a gym. Music for frustrated straight men teenagers in the 90s.

Haha had already listened to this. This is an amazing album. It’s a *serious* album, dealing with veeery serious topics. The lyrics are front and center and command you attention - to the point where there is even a flat out accapella song. It is done brilliantly, with a sense of urgency to convey these feelings. You can feel the sincerity in each line.
