1001 Albums Summary

Fantastic blues album. Awesome voice and guitar. Not my favorite genre but probably my favorite expression of it. Would listen again to get in a southern / blues mood. 4

- Incredible voice & like the horns, but overall just not my kind of music. Can appreciate the quality but not for me. - Really enjoyed Tears Dry On Their Own 3

Insanely good guitar playing. Never have been a huge fan of Ozzy’s voice. Guitar on NIB and bass on Evil Woman went super hard. Overall a pretty great album, last three songs had a hell of a run to finish the album. 4.5

Fantastic vocals and guitars/horns. One of my favorite singers … chill, creepy, catchy. Loved the whole album beyond “take a walk on the wild side” 4.5+

Incredible album overall - so many great songs. Carry On possibly their best song and no bad songs on the album. Was interesting to listen to which songs they pieced together and which they all performed together. Fantastic album 5

Pretty decent sounds - I did like the haunting nature of some of the music - but not really my favorite genre. Really liked "A Forest" which also turned out to be their top single on the album. Overall pretty solid . 3

Vibes were … interesting? A somewhat light trippiness. Wasn’t really my jam / didn’t do too much for me. Wasn’t super jazzed about the country-ish songs. 2.5

Objectively great, but not very into soul/funk. Fantastic voice / horns. 3

I could not get through the album. Genre is just not for me … his voice is great, the piano is fantastic, but I could not stand the background singers and slow tempo of each song. 2

Really enjoyable listen - solid album overall. Would agree with the review calling it grandiose. No one song stuck out in particular but liked the sound / vibes. 4

I get why it’s so beloved … but it didn’t do it for me. They did some really cool things here with the audio (particularly on the first song), and had some great hits, but a lot of the songs felt borderline filler and totally inconsistent. 3+

A fantastic album overall with 5 A/A+ songs. Probably an effect of growing up in this time period, everything comes together for me and any comments critiquing the voice/music ... or the distinct 90s of it all ... are more nitpicking than anything. Bumping up due to the sheer amount of fantastic songs and to drown out the idiots complaining about the feminism. 4.5+

Had never heard of Tricky before - enjoyed the listen, pretty dark/trippy/chill throughout. Pretty solid overall but no real interest in exploring other albums. 3

Honestly kind of loved it … great mix of folk rock / electronic. Some upbeat music with chill vocals. Had no idea these guys existed or that I had another liked song from them. Really solid listen. 4

Probably the highest variance of any album I’ve ever listened to. An incredible amount of amazing singles … and basically everything else is terrible. Enjoyed the one non-single of I Know Places which was a preview of Reputation. Find it really hard to grade … overall a 3 but do I give more credit to the incredible highs and absolute bangers. Lean more towards a 3 given just how bad most of the songs are (welcome to New York may be her worst song?). But an incredible pivot / achievement that led to much higher highs down the road. 3+

British REM / reminiscent of early gorillaz. Pretty decent

Not my jam - similar to ELO or some Pink Floyd but not that great. 2

Really liked the music … kinda can’t stand her voice. Just really grating to me / not really into her overall style 2.5

Really not my cup of tea. Can appreciate it for what it is and the themes … but man I really dislike country

Undeniably solid - went in far more pessimistic than I got to listening to the full album. Liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Really enjoyed the listen overall. 4

A fun listen … I enjoyed the sampling throughout. 3

Surprisingly good - really enjoyed it. A lot more raw than their popular songs. Great album 4+

Really enjoy Neil Young overall - Southern Man a fantastic song. I do miss the rest of the crew on the album, but overall still a really enjoyable listen. 4

Very solid overall in addition to the hits … clear how he influenced a ton of artists with his style. 4

Overall really good funk/soul, and enjoyed the covers. Not super into funk/soul generally, but enjoyed this a lot. 3+
