1001 Albums Summary

Unfamiliar with this album but loved it. Killer queen was great on first listen but I've heard that song before. Lots of piano. Vocals, even beyond FM sound so characteristic. How did they get that effect?

Lots of variety on this. Fretless bass, moog and sampling (1975!), jazz. Not my jam. She's an icon and has such a characteristic voice, but I think some of the things that make her great are things that I just don't often connect with in music like the lyrics. Maybe if I sat down with a lyric sheet and listened to it, but maybe just not my jam.

First listen for me. Missed it when it came out and I don't listen to much hip hop.

Didn't know the album, but instantly recognize the cover art. Iconic. I know New Order much better, more my era. First listen was meh. But I gave it a couple more listens, especially the bass. So great basslines, but different than other basslines, moody vocals. Dunno, it's a real sound. Totally grew on me.

more avant garde inspired than I expected on some tracks, but overall sounded very much of that era of bay area jam band rock that has been very influential, not just sonically but in the image of what rock should look like. Found myself feeling bored and not engaged on this. Maybe it's like the Grateful Dead said about their music -- it couldn't be understood unless you're on acid too.

Starts out with a track that sound like the epitome of rock to me, then an incredible guitar solo from EVH, then gets a little tiring. Also hard to separate DLR, who by all accounts is a grade a shit, from this album. He detracts.

I’m not the audience for this. Hard to find a vector to appreciate it. Maybe more listens?

Didn’t make any sense to me. Maybe with repeated listens? But I don’t really want to try…

Fun nostalgic trip, influential in its time. Fun but tiring today. Like musical pop rocks.

One of the folk rock albums of an era that I missed. I'm sure in that context it's great, but subjectively was bored by it.

meh indeed

not bad, but I'm not going to listen to it again.

I'm not against profanity. I'm not against sexy time. I'm not against beats and smooth flow. But there is only so long I can listen to this.
