1001 Albums Summary

Great album for moody days. 4 out of 5

So exhausting to listen to the full album (and I did it, from waking up until lunchtime). The first side of the album is magnificent, a worthy 4 stars (it could be a 4.2/3 grade), but the last 2.5 hours are too much (repetitive, boring, grueling, and too long). Ella is a one-of-a-kind artist with a unique voice, and her other work (for example, her songs with Louis Armstrong) is distinctive and special, but this could be 1, maybe 2 sides album, and it would be one of the best in history. If it were possible, I would give it a 2.5 rating, but I will round it up out of respect for the artist.

Not the best Springsteen album (there aren't any memorable singles or songs). In my opinion, not sure it's a must-hear album. Didn't change my life. It's worth a 2.7 score.

Not a big indi fan, so I wasn't impressed. Kind of (too) dreary and tiring. I would give it a 2.5.

No words. 10 stars!

Good start for the Elvis Costello discography. I liked this album, very 70's, some great songs (didn't know that Alison is his). Its a 3.8 grade album.

Not my complete cup of tea (although I have a soft spot for Ray Charles), but it's OK and went fast. Didn't give me any memorable moments, but made me think, how much people paid for a 30-minutes live concert back in the 60's? I would give it 2.7 ratings

Wow, a huge nostalgic pop music, on the top of the late 90's-early 2000's pop era. The album is a banger (from that genre and era), and I was amazed to hear some surprises in that album ("Soda Pop" and the cover for "The Beat Goes On"), and I really enjoyed it. It a solid 3.8 record.

Not that bad and I kind of enjoyed it, although I love this kind of music and I believe it deserved a 3.5 ratings

Awful. I understand why it was a failure when it was released. Its a 1.5 ratings for sure. It's also frightening that I haven't understood any word in English.

Not bad, loved some singles, and generally, it was above 3.5 stars, so I cannot give it less.

Awful and boring. How it's must-hear?

Plain and boring. Not the great 90's pop we all know. It's a 1.5 stars, barely.

Surprisingly good and enjoyable. Loved it and cannot give it less than 4 stars.

Pleasant and relatable. 3.2 stars

OK, i think. Not much to say. After 2 records of Beastie boys, this was not as good as those.

Sounds like a bad RHCP record (which there isn't one). Very boring and sometimes weird. 2.2 stars

I can understand why people love them so much. Unique Depeche Mode sound and style. Im not the biggest fan of the 80's music (which I believe is the worst decade), but I kind of enjoyed listen to this record.

Nothing to talk about

Hmm... OK I guess. Very English music, nice tunes, and crazy lyrics. It's should be a 2.5 stars.

I'm biased, since this is my favorite band of all time, and this is maybe second to Californication, so of course its a 4.2 rating.

My god. Couldn't start, and worse, couldn't finish it. Don't understand it at all. Suffered all the way to 1 star
