1001 Albums Summary

Love the orchestration. Extremely well produced. Drive, Nightswimming and Find the River are sublime. Ignoreland is dated and skipable.

Some good songs. The singles off the album are good. The rest are mediocre. Repetitive lyrically. Not sure I would go out of my way to listen to the entire album again.

I just don’t get it. It’s not fun to listen to. The writing isn’t mind blowing like people say. The harmonica is too much. I feel like I’m being lied to by people who think it’s good.

My first 5⭐️ album so far. Have known and liked several songs, but never listened to the album. A surprising blend of prog rock, world beat and highly polished pop.

Great grooves. Great songs. So many people want to be them. They set a standard

Fantastic album. Amazing musicians front to back. 4 or 5 of the best songs ever written. Truly a must listen

You time travel to the 17th century to give electric guitars and hard drugs to pirates.

Exactly my kind of guitar work. Great grooves. A few songs are ok, but most are spectacular.

Look, I don’t love heavy metal. But I can certainly appreciate the talent and craft in this album. Plus there’s a heavy dose of camp that makes it fun. I probably won’t listen to it again, but I’m happy I did.

It’s like Tori Amos covered Kate Bush songs with The Cure as her backing band

I don’t think alt country exists as a genre without Lucinda Williams.

While I certainly can hear and respect the craft, there’s just so much of it that isn’t cycling back to a theme or melody. It’s just gets lost in a long, jumbled flourish that never ties back to anything solid. Very challenging to casually enjoy. More theory than groove.

It definitely hits that straight edge sweet spot. Not really punk or hardcore. They have a lot to say, but don’t really say anything. Tons of charisma and dirty grooves.

If I wanted to listen to Radiohead, I’d just listen to Radiohead

It’s ok. Definitely dated.

Arguably the best American rock album start to finish.

I can’t believe I’ve lived in this planet 51 years it this is older than I am. Basically a Radiohead album before they existed.

One of the most important and influential Hip Hop albums of all time. The sampling alone is worth four of the five stars I gave it.

A few of the finest songs ever written. The rest of the album is ok.

10/10 No notes

I owned it at one point. It’s good. But definitely not something I would say someone HAD to listen to before they die.

It’s got a couple of good songs, but I’m convinced that the people who place this so high don’t listen to the whole album. Probably their 3rd best album

This was much better than expected. Loved the unique guitar sound and rhythms. Will definitely add it to the rotation.

It would be a 5, but Amnesiac is better
