1001 Albums Summary

Wanted to love this album, unfortunately dragged in the middle with several songs that blended together into a slog. The bookends are great, highlight is Sprawl II

Understand the significance of the album and overall enjoyed it, but in the end it wasn't quite for me.

This was a confusing listen. After 5 songs I was ready to rate this one star. By the end I was charmed by the production and the sound. The main issue is Wainwright's style of singing is not for me. I was begging him to enunciate the words. This rating could go up after a re-listen.

The music lover in me wanted to like this, however I'm already not the biggest jazz fan and this is a jazz heavy album. Something about her singing out of rhythm with the music made me feel actual anxiety-it's a personal pet peeve of mine.

This album must be listened to with headphones while doing nothing else. It is literally ambient background music, how good can it be? A pleasant listen in a quiet place with headphones but would never listen again.

Albums like this is why I started this. First foray into this band, and what an introduction. Great album; funky soulful innovative- all the buzzwords. Can not wait to listen amany more times.

Possibly the best album of the 21st century.

Some decent songs, but as a whole not for me. Production wasn't great, the mix was off to me with vocals being far too loud.

Strange album. Opening track lead me to believe I was in for something completely different than what I got. No defined genre, but overall a charming album with familiar sounds.
