1001 Albums Summary

Ive been aware of this album all my life. Its been constantly praised as an excellent album, and Fast Cars as an amazing song. I never gave it a listen as it is not my style of music. When it popped up as my first album, I thought I would finally give it a listen. After two songs, i thought ok this isnt for me but I guess this is a classic album, I will give it 2 stars, and continue listening. I just couldnt. I cant stand it. It doesnt just bore me, it irritates me. I simply do not like it.

Another album that I have always been aware of, but never really given the chance, as it isnt my type of music. After listening fully... I was right. It is not for me. Dull. Before listening, I was ready to give it a 3. I cant see going back and listening though. Solid 2.

I grew up with Razor's Edge on cassette. That is my #1 ACDC album. I am a huge fan of about 5 others. This is my 2nd favorite.

On the experimental side for 60s psychedelic rock. Enjoyable.

This is a good album, but its just not for me. Good production. I just dont listen to RnB, so the more songs I listen to, the less I like it.

Dull.

I knew this was coming. I have disliked this band as long as I have known about them, and their resurgence as one of the most popular classic rock bands in the last 5 years is mystifying. This is yet another album I was pretty sure I didnt like, but I gave it a chance. Had i not given it a chance, I probably would have given it at least 2 stars out of respect. But I cant now, after listening its a clear 1

This is exactly why I started this. A band I have always meant to give a listen, but havent gotten around to. Loving this.

Not great. Not bad. Just kind of there.

I tried. I know i dislike the Smiths and Morrissey, but I still tried. .....and I just cant. This is awful. It's not just that I dont like it, but listening to it for any length of time makes me want to rip off my ears and scrub my brain with bleach. I cant stand his voice. I cant stand his intonation. I think the lyrics are terrible. And the music isnt anywhere near interesting enough to make up for the vocals. Is there anything lower than a 1*?

Back in high school I hated the Grateful Dead. It was punks vs hippies, and I landed squarely on the side of punks. Over the years, this divide has lessened, and I am more open to listening to them. And I did. I did not love it, but at no point did I think that I needed to turn it off. This was perfectly pleasant background music while I work.

If the music were only boring, it could get by with a 2. But the singer gets increasingly annoying as the album progresses, and I just couldnt make myself finish the songs.

This album is good, but far from Megadeth's best.

This album is going to have its niche, but outside of that niche it might not resonate. There are parts that are very "electronica" sounding, almost like abstract downtempo. Other parts are pretty straight-up bossa nova. The people that appreciate downtempo, bossa nova, and electronica (or IDM), should love this album. Otherwise, without being a bad album, it might just not be for some people. I liked it, enjoyed it, but doubt I would put it on myself in the future.

My 2nd Elvis Costello, and under 60 total. This one is worse.

My mom's favorite group. For me, a solid 3.

Even if this isnt your favorite album, this is absolutely essential. This was the sound of the late 90s, early 2000s. But really, its a great album as well.

I love Nick Cave. But sometimes he loses me a little. I like this album, but not as much as some of his others.

Often criticized as a bloated album with too many songs, I kept waiting for the song that would drop this from 5 stars, and I did not find one.

Perfectly cromulant background music. I never wanted to turn it off, but i didnt finish with the desire to listen again.
