Not sure that I'm a fan of Fleetwood Mac, but there are good songs on this album. I'm glad that I listened to it once, but it probably won't work into my mix.
A very, very good album by Bowie! The introduction of "blue-eyed soul" is something that seems obvious today but changed everything then. The album has a nice cover of "Across the Universe" and opens and closes with absolutely great tracks. I'm not sure if this is Bowie's best album, but it's up there!
Not a bad album, but most of it is kind of mediocre. The harmonizing is good, but so much of that was happening around that time. Made sort of the same time as Pet Sounds, which is incredible, but not nearly as good as that. Seems like "Time of the Season" is doing most of the lifting to make this a "must listen" album
A few hits that played on the radio on this album, and a few other songs that could have been radio hits. Awfully good album, except for the skits. Generally, I can do without them.
I like the simplicity of the album, and the stripped-down nature of the sings. The songs don't try to be big and expansive, just two people playing music. This is a good album, but I'm not sure this is even the best White Stripes album.
I'm a fan of the Rolling Stones, but this isn't one of their better albums. I do like that it has bluesy songs on it, as the Keith and Mick wanted to be blues men in the first place. For me this is between 2 and 3 stars. Given that the good songs are so good, I'm going to give it 3 stars.
I understand why people would like this album, but I don't. Maybe some of Lorde's other albums would be more appealing to me.
Good lord! This all feels like generic, soulless, radio-pop music that's trying to be super deep. I made it straight through a few songs, then I hit my pain threshold and had to start cutting songs short. For me, no song stood out more than the others and there was no real highlight to any of the album.
This album aged fairly well; it doesn't feel very dated like a lot of ones from this time. I like that it has the sort of Southern rock thing going on. Glad that I finally listened to it. This is a good but not great album.
This album isn't bad, but it certainly isn't great. Not sure that this is even the best REM album. I wish I could give this 2.5 stars, but instead I will be kind and round up to 3 stars.
I've liked this album since it came out. It's definitely not for everyone, and I can see why folks would find it not to their liking. Definitely not a perfect album, but still pretty good. Every time I come back to listen, I'm glad that I did.
Had to put my sunglasses on so I could see what I was doin'.
The funk is applied heavy and often! It's clear that this album affected so many other artists that made music after this. I wouldn't say that this is my favorite album, but when I put it on, I'm instantly in a better mood and it's easy to get into the grove of whatever I'm doing.
I think it was Sir-Mix-Alot who said something like listening to Parliament, it sounds like someone's using the toilet. He's not necessarily wrong...
Don't listen to much Willie, but this probably isn't his best album. I do think it's interesting that for whatever reason, he wanted to make an album with non-typical songs for him. I appreciate artists trying to branch out and sort of prove that they can cross-over to different genres. That being said, it's a little weird hearing him sing some of these songs.
I completely understand the level of praise that this album has and why it would be on this list; I've listened to worse songs that are on this list of 1001. I'm sort of stuck in between giving this album 2 and 3 stars. Out of respect for Willie, I'm going to give it 3 stars.
I hadn't heard of Rise before, but I'm glad that I listened to this album. I'm going to listen to more of their offerings.
With all the music in the world, it's hard to get imagine that this album is on the list. It's not bad, I just don't think it's that good.
Such a timeless album!
I'm not a big fan of the Cure, but I understand why this album is on the list. For a lot of these albums, I try to consider what it meant for the time that it was recorded.
