Rated 2/10

Wow… no!

Rated 4/10

Some of it I couldn't stand and had to skip, couldn't stand his voice. But a few were a bit more interesting.

Rated 4/10

The Faith Healer is a good one, the rest is weird.

Rated 6/10

I didn't really find this too enjoyable, but its not the worst thing ever.

Rated 2/10

If a middle schooler drew a dick on their notebook and that dick came to life and started a band, it would sound like this.

Rated 6/10

Even switchen na Elliott Smith, want er volgen swingende jazzy pianoklanken. En direct daarna weer switchen, want meneer begint te 'zingen'. Oww...zonde...

Toch raak ik er wel aangewend. En het gaat nog wat meer rocken, waardoor die zang beter matcht. Al schiet het redelijk wat kanten op. We krijgen bijvoorbeeld nog wat typisch Amerikaanse klanken en een letterlijk theatraal nummer.

Ik ga dit niet vaker opzetten, maar het is wel een beleving. En ach...het duurt ook maar 35 minuten.

en ach... het duurt ook maar 35 minuten.

This album is WILD. I have no idea what it is, or what it's trying to be, or why I need to listen to it before I die, but it is definitely an experience. I like and respect experimental music, but sometimes it's kind of shit. Here's the thing: I never want to listen to it again. That's usually my standard of a 2 star review, but this one - absolute insanity aside - was actually a pretty decent listen. Halfway through the first song, I'm thinking, what the hell am I listening to? Then the second song starts playing, and he starts singing, "ain't nothing like a gang bang to blow away the blues," and I had to stop what I was doing to read the lyrics because, surely, "gang bang" must have meant something different in the 70s, no?

Yeah, no. He's singing about a 27-guy gang bang. What the actual fuck, man? Boomers were listening to this shit, then yelling at us because our music had cuss words?

There's a song called Giddy Up a Ding Dong.

"I swear on the wet head of my first case of gonorrhoea" is a real lyric. What the fuck, man.

Rated 8/10

Cool Album. Didn't know about this guy. Don't know if it's really that good that it needs to be in this list, but there are a lot of albums that are much less understandable for this list :D

Rated 4/10

Shit but vaguely entertaining in some kind of way. Hope Spotify doesn't start recommending these songs to me.

Rated 6/10

This is pretty good. A bit edge lord sounding but given it came out in 1973, gotta take it with a grain of salt.

Rated 4/10

Yeah, not enjoying this one. Between his vocals and the lyrics just being juvenile, it's gonna be a no from me. Musically, it's fine, ranging from bluesy jigs and glam/hard rock cuts, but everything else is just not for me.

Rated 4/10

It was, in fact, not sensational.

Rated 4/10

This guy actually wrote a blues rock song about a gang bang?!? Who the hell is this guy? The album was kind of all over the place with the subjects of each song, but the songs were fully committed and well written. I don't think I would play the album for guests.

Rated 10/10

This is a super fun album. I love that it's basically a hard-edged seventies version of 50s rock 'n' roll. Cool idea and well-executed.

4.5/5.0: Excellent

Rated 6/10

started off really great and slowly went downhill from there. i found myself waiting for it to end. then the last song decided to pan left making me think i had an issue with my headphones which aggravated me to no end

Rated 6/10

Not bad, not bad, but nothing special. Track number 3 (I forgot the name) annoyed me.

Rated 4/10

Alex Harvey har noen bops, men det her ble litt for mye boogiewoogie for min del. «Thank you», «Next»

Rated 4/10

Most of these songs were 3 minutes too long. Next was the only song that didn’t drag, the rest were just one idea repeated for 4+ minutes. I don’t understand this album’s inclusion on the list.

Rated 8/10

Another great discovery on the 1001 list for me.

Although most of the lyrics are laughable, I really enjoyed the bluesy swamp rock and punky riffs.

Rated 2/10

If the other tracks were anything like "Faith Healer," I would agree that this might be an album worth listening to before you die, but they are definitely not. Dreadful.
