1001 Albums Summary

Important album, but I still don’t like his music or presentation

Wonderful discovery. I knew a lot of queen, but never took the time to listen to their early albums.

Amazing!

Very nice album and great sound. Too bad he didn’t manage to keep this creative height through the rest of his career

I don’t care for late 70s punk pop. This may be considered a good album, but I don’t like this kind of music

This is the first time I listen to Harry Nilsson’s music, except an occasional radio or algorithm hit. After listening to this album in its entirety, I can honestly that I didn’t miss anything. Learning about it widened my pop music knowledge, but nothing more. I think it didn’t survive the passage of time test. The songs (most of them) are middle of the road, not interesting or exciting (but not completely introspective or otherwise engaging), and the humor in the lyrics is outdated. It sounds like a mainstream attempt at a now extinct mainstream.

Fun!

This album was playing on repeat during the early 90s, but I haven’t played it for decades. As soon as I started listening to it today, I immediately got thrown back 30 years. I feel like the food critic in Ratatouille. What a perfect album. It starts strong, and gets stronger with every track. It is powerful and tough, but never tiring. 35 years later, still 10 out of 10

It was good in 2002. It is not as good today. Sounds like a trial to reanimate Nirvana’s sound. After 2 decades, it is clear the Hives were better

It is noisy and poppy, but as a whole album it is boring. I Didn’t make it through, and stopped on the middle

This is a classic piece. I am glad I listened to it. I will probably listen to it again in the future, but this is not a favourite that I will constantly return to

Some kind of new wave. Probably one of the first signs of the upcoming 80s. I was an 80s kid, but that’s not an excuse. It sucks

Classic! Clapton and Duane all man at their peak

This studio album is a bit mellow. nothing like their live performances.

My of my all time favourites. It is not an easy listen, though. One has to really listen to it to enjoy it. Not something for the background, but a careful dedicated listening is highly rewarding

My main previous experience with Stevie Wonder was through the radio, when I was younger and there was still a thing called radio. Some of the songs from this album were played so often, that at a certain stage I think I got allergic to his music, as a result of overexposure. However, 20 years later, I am now master of my own radio. When I don't like a song, I can skip. Allergic reactions somewhat subsided. Listening to this album for the first time in its entirety proves this is truly a masterpiece.

I never critically listened to Indian music. I know Indian music, and can recognise it, but I never learned its principles. this album aimes exactly at this: teach the listener some basics of the Indian music theory and building blocks. however, apart from its educational purposes, I didn't enjoy the music itself. it was too repetitive, and I think I won't listen to this album again

Listening to this album is like watching 40 years later an agent breaking out of his sandbox. What an historic experience!

Wonderful sound. Listening to it on a subpar system or headphones does not do it justice. take the wonderful sound away, and you are left with some very good songs, and some not so very good songs

I need another listen to this. I may want to come back

It is happy and innovative, with bright guitars and tight rhythm section, but it is not to my taste

Some nice hits, but a bit boring then than that. I think their pop period albums are better than their reggae period

Didn't like it. Too crowded, overwhelming, and not interesting. Nick cave had some wonderful music in the 90s, but this is not oneof his best albums

This is Nick cave in his 90s peak

I grew up on the 80s listening to heavy metal. Van Halen were almost the direct opposite. I felt they were an imposter, hiding kitsch with bombastic riffs and not so manly screams. basically, I thought they were just another hair metal band. This is the first serious listen to their first album, and I stand corrected. Pretty good, nice listen. I added it to my collection.

Such a fun album

One of the best new wave / 80s albums

This was surprisingly good
