1001 Albums Summary

Very Upbeat and big horns. Rather than bluesy. I like a more mellow, slow blues with wistful guitars. Too upbeat. 2.5 out of 5

Better than I remember. Robert Smith is a little too moody emo, whiney. But i thought the music was good and thumpy. 4 out of 5

Watermelon man was cool, but otherwise it was a bit too out there for me. Too jazzy. Too funky. If it was toned down, I would like it more.

This album rocks. very enjoyable. different styles. good vocals. new instruments. 5 out of 5

Decent album. Some toe tapping songs. 3.5 out of 5

The covers are great. The beats and music are great. The lyrics feel confrontational and harsh, not pleasure to listen to. 3 out of 5

Enjoyable garage rock. I don't like the lead singers voice. Like Lemmy's voice. But when he is hitting that fast, rougher songs, it works. Overall good album. 4 out 5.

Fantastic album. The guitar solo in St. Elmos fire. 5 out of 5

Too improvisational. Too disjointed. Too raw. I can't get into it after multiple listenings. Maybe there is something here for jazz nuts, but it's not very approachable at all. 1 out of 5.

Hard to listen to as even as the a most casual music listener, some of these songs have been overplayed. Still her voice is great, the songs are well written and let her shine. Good album. 4 out of 5.

When it is good, it is really good. when it is weird, it is really weird. Feels so theatrical. I like her voice and more "normal" songs, but she gets too out there a lot of the time. 3 out of 5

Great album. Weird, but so good. Best listened as an album. 5 out of 5

The first half is amazing. Second half not so much, but that first half makes up for it. Great album. 5 out of 5

Too poppy. Not punky or new wave. Maybe just fast pop rock. Alison is good, but that's the slowest song on the album. Otherwise feels like it tries too hard. 2 out of 5.

The best. The hits are mega hits. The songs you consider not hits are great and by the end of those you say to yourself - that was a really great song. Then a mega hit song comes on and you are floored. 5 out of 5.

Cool album. Kinda Cure-ish with more computer drums and a deeper singer. Liked it. Felt like it could be more club music focused. 4 out of 5.

Walk on by is a great song. All the songs are wonderful. 5 out of 5.

Like a Rolling Stone is a classic. I just can't get over Bob Dylan's voice. 2 out of 5.

I knew most of the songs even though I never owned it. A little over produced in spots but overall very impressive. 4.5 out of 5

Too Bob Dylan-ish in terms of singing style. I wish it had more of a band than just a guitar for most of the songs. But Diamonds in The Mine and Joan of Arc were rather good. 3 out of 5

Fantastic album. Listenable bluesy hard rock. Lagrange is a perfect song. 5 out of 5.

Fantastic album. Bluesy - heavy - fast - slow. Just awesome songs. If you told someone that has never heard of LZ this was a best of album, they would believe you. At least 5 all-time great songs on one album. Fantastic in every aspect. 5 out of 5.

The samples were too much. When those mellowed out, it was listenable but otherwise was just annoying. The flute song kilo was good.

Interesting album. It does get hypnotic at times. But is it something I enjoyed and wanted to relisten to? Not really. Might make good work music. 3 out of 5.
