1001 Albums Summary

So overrated. The best Tune is Eddie's gift Beat It. MJ has so many more gifts than this crap

Wasn’t drinking, was hanging out cooking. I couldn’t get through it. Whenever RS rates something that high it usually sucks.

Didn’t have to listen to it because I own it. I have 24,000+ songs on the last generation iPod touch. That said, with the iPod on shuffle, any of these songs are worth listening to. I don’t feel the album is worth a cover to cover listen.

Pretty good. The slow power chords are such a staple for these guys and they do it well. Of course High and Dry is great, but I really liked the heavier Just the most.

Wow. Definitely not my style and maybe they came out late from ‘80s pop. I kinda liked the title track, but didn’t get too far into it.

Decent album, but that’s a first time listen. I won’t give it a second any time soon.

Some critiques go waaaaaay too far. Don’t explain the meaning to me. The dude who says you want it darker is what you say before making love needs to find a woman and STFU. Shut it off after a minute and a half.

Loved it

Not for me. After 30 minutes in I had to cry Uncle. 3 stars cause he is talented

Not for me

Really liked it. Such a groovy sound, guitars were raw and Rod Stewart killed it.

I’ve always liked Simon and Garfunkel. Hadn’t heard this one in its entirety until now. A lot like the first three and I love the acoustic style, but not quite the height of Bridge Over Troubled Water. Bridge is a 5 for me, this a 3.5.

Whatever this was, it is not for me. I know it was 1993, but it sounded like bad 80’s British pop

Really liked it. Never a club or rave guy, but this hit those types of vibes for me

Not bad, too long

Forgot all about her. Great album.

Never really a fan and this album didn’t change anything.

I first heard them in the very early 80s. Thought they should’ve sounded more punk, more raw. This album is exactly that.

I tried.

I’m a fan so of course I like it. I wouldn’t judge him based on this album and consider a couple later ones

Either you’re going to like it or not. I did not. First couple of songs is all you need to hear and it’s just repetitive after that

Another Cohen album & another lame Cohen album

Great album. I’m a Steely Dan fan. Haven’t listened to this one front to back in a minute. Good listen.

Really great punk album. I forgot all about them. What a voice

An hour of lite jazz is great for the background but I wouldn't recommend sitting down for a listen

More lite jazz…

Fun album. That punk style that eventually becomes 80s pop.

Club music. Like the guy said, if you’re on x and in an abandoned warehouse this might be ok

Didn’t like it then, don’t like it now. Totally destroyed Roberta Flack’s Killing Me Softly.

Good album to introduce someone to the band. I’ve always liked them. Not a huge fan of Young. Always thought he must have been their dealer.

Indian music? WTF.

Frank Zappa. Not much more to say. Maybe Valley Girl on Psychedelics

A lame Who album. Thank goodness the 70s came along for them

The whole reason I am doing this. Hidden gem.

60s Boy band. Still cool flower power

Eh. If you want to enjoy and love the Beach Boys, do the greatest hits

Not bad. I love the heavier stuff out there & this was a nice change up.

If it were 1979 I probably would've loved it.

One of the great classic albums of all time

Holy Christmas. If this guy can make an album, I need to learn an instrument and make one too.

Didn’t like them that much back then and even though over the last 30 years I have gotten into alternative more…still don’t like them.

Great album. 35 years later and it hasn’t lost it’s appeal

My first 5 star. Phenomenal.

Such a good album. Really defined their sound

This is just boring Beach Boys. Listen to the old stuff if you want entertainment

I always wondered where hold music came from…

I’m wishing and hoping girls would follow those lyrics.

In the old voodoo zombie movies from the 50s there’s always a scene in a club and this is the music that’s playing. Good for a minute or so, but not much longer

Not my favorite Steely Dan album but worth a listen.

Singer songwriter stuff. Nothing really grabbed me.

Kinda getting tired of this genre…

Acid trip set to music

Kinda getting tired of this genre…

Terrible. Listened to it on YouTube. So many positive comments coming from people with cats as their profile pic. Best guess is they dropped some E and rubbed their cats while listening…

If rolling stone calls it a masterpiece rest assured it is not…

I’m over 75 albums. Only one was a gem I hadn’t heard before and the only ones I like I own.

Not bad but not an album I’d listen to again.

Just some 80's fun stuff

WTF. Really bad music combined with a dude who sings in French poorly.

The problem with albums like this is the tit track is the best song and it’s 2026 so you can’t get into the rest o

Another crap album

So close to being tolerable. Bad punk with whatever that singing was

Great southern rock band. Good live album

One hit wonder. Song 2 is really good, but the rest couldn’t build on it. Maybe the second album is where they find an identity.

Never was a fan. Revisiting does not help.

Didn’t realize it was their ninth album. Still a good soulful album.

I love heavy & loud. Not sure if this was trying to be heavy or what. It just sounded like play as fast as you can on every song.

Not a timeless album. Puts you in a place and time and ends.

Title track is a good tune. Not their best work. Stick with the greatest hits

Good album. Bought the cassette back in the day. It proved he’s a musical genius & the movie proved he’s a lousy actor.

A classic freedom rock album. Nothing too special about it.

I’m going to start a petition to remove sensational from the name of this band.

Of course it’s great. Good decision to let Garfunkel sing the title track and then go solo.

This is only the 2nd album I’ve come across that makes me glad I’m doing this. Late 60s to early 80s was a great time for country music and this guy is really good.
