It is the fourth Joni Mitchell album on the 1001 list. I don't have anything more to say after the first 3.

I think that all the albums on the list from WuTang members never catch me. I usually like them, but only in a very standard way.

It's a good album, but it's a bit outdated. It also sounds influential in the same way.

After over 1000 albums, I reserve my right to get tired of it.

There's too much U2 on the list, don't you feel?

I prefer "Wish You Were Here," but I decided not to go against almost 16000 people on the site. It's indeed great, just not the best.

I like the sitar songs, and I'm positively surprised by the number of "traditional"-ish Hindi music we have on the 1001 list, but honestly, this album is pretty annoying. There is no novelty or upbeat; it's just a bunch of covers (or almost covers) without any new energy or so; the sitar is there only to be.

It's too much for me, but I should pay some respect to them. I feel that I still need to have some time to understand what I listened to.

This is what I needed for a rainy Thursday: some noisy hardcore!

It's interesting to note how many albums are classified with the subgenre hardcore at the 1001 list, but just a fell really fell hardcore to me, like this one. After reading the Wikipedia page, I can even see the signs of emocore here and there. It's not perfect, but it's a lovely album for today.

Too much psychedelic for me. I spent the whole day finishing the listening session because it was necessary to stop from time to time to take some air.

I don't want to like it, but it's great. Dammit!

It's an okay album but has no great remarks for me.

The album starts pretty well. It still looks like a low-cost Bob Dylan, but it's pretty good. The following songs become more and more blame, and the album's end is almost anti-climax. Maybe I'll give it another chance on another day, but for now, I can only rate it with 2.5 stars.

I was unprepared to enjoy a SECOND Christina Aguilera album on the 1001 list. Her voice is fantastic, and the lyrics are outdated but still significant. However, even though I believe no one needs to listen to her albums before they die, the songs are here, and among all the crappy albums that I've heard before on the list, this is genuinely far from the worsts.

I listened to it yesterday, and I remember enjoying it a bit, but just one day later, I already started to forget it, and now I only have the impression that I listened to a good The Cure cover band.

I'm unsure, but the album is probably good enough to receive 3 stars.

It's an enjoyable album, and I liked some previous albums from Steely Dan on the list. Still, the allegedly "more sophisticated compositions and arrangements" (from the Wikipedia page) make it a bit less good than the others. I prefer something rawer for them, and I even enjoy some sophistication sometimes.

After 3 (?) albums, even enjoying Steely Dan, I got annoyed by this album.

It's an okay album, but do we MUST listen to it before die? Are you sure about it?

This is another hidden gem that I was looking for and for which I didn't know how to ask. Thank you!

It's bland but enjoyable.

I'm not very into country music, but if someday I need some ballad for a gunfight, I'm sure that now I know where to look for it.
