I think I'm spiritualized enough, thanks.

Impressive that I disliked this album almost to the same extent I liked the previous "Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" I got here some months ago.

Better than "Stardust," which I got here before. One or two songs that are worth it, but still a not-so-enjoyable album.

I should like it, there is nothing wrong with the album. For some reason I can't explain; I don't like it.

I know that this is recognized as one of the best "Sepultura" albums, and I understand why.
However, this album looks more like a path for what they achieve in "Roots" and sounds a bit repetitive—a solid 3-star, but still 3.

I still think he sings targeting old/nostalgic people, but it's good (Wait! Am I old now? Dammed!)

PS: This is my fourth Bruce Springsteen here...being good or not, it's reaching the reasonable limit for a single artist in a solo career.

Is this album a collection of songs?
Is this a song?
Am I listening to a song or working in a factory in 1980?
Is this reality?
What I'm doing listening to it?
Who am I?

I need to give this album an extra star for predicting 1978 how AI-generated songs would look like in 2023. Impressive.

Third Beck album I got on the 1001 list, and I still don't get it...

This is a bizarre album, hard to define, and for some reason, this is a compliment. It does not look like anything from the 90s that I've listened to before, and, at the same time, it is strangely comfortable for my 90s ears.

I think that deserves a second listening session to ensure everything is correct.

Based on my history and knowledge, I shouldn't like this album, but I enjoyed it for most songs. Alternative country is far from what I look for in new songs, but the "Cowboy Junkies" will be included in future listening sessions.

After listening to almost 650 albums on the 1001 list, I must assume that I should consider myself a Stevie Wonder fan. I somehow feared his songs before the list, thinking that they could be too much cool for my personal taste or even just 70s standard pop, but now I have 2 of his albums on my favorite list, and even this one that is not so great as the other 2 I received here is still amazing.

Second Neil Young in a row, and it was perfect to demonstrate my comment yesterday about his versatility.

Yesterday an album that was meh in the best case, and today one that is classic and almost perfect.

The high number of Neil Young on the 1001 list shows his versatility during his career.

He has some great albums (especially when together with the Crazy Horses or other partners) and also some albums that are just "meh," like this one.

I think I'll probably get more from him on the list, but despite my enjoyment (or not) of listening to this album, it was good to learn how far someone with talent and willingness goes to test the limits of his talent.

I enjoyed previous Fela Kuti releases, but this one is just for real drum lovers. It's nice to have a so specific kind of album in the 1001 list, but it's not for me.

It could be good, but after 1 hour, it became annoying and repetitive.

I was really surprised by this album. I was expecting something more copycat of 90s hip-hop or even some trap, and both could be nice when well conceived. However, I got something different, maybe in the middle of these two styles. I see some 90s reflections and early trap but with a lot of jazz and classic R&B that made me feel good listening to it. I enjoyed the lyrics, too, and I'll check other Little Simz albums.

It's good, but totally forgettable.

An artist I like playing songs of a style I like should be perfect. However, it's not, and I don't know why. It's very good, but not perfect as I was expecting.

This is not the most remarkable when I think of a Janis Joplin album, but of course, it's a 5-star.

I liked it, even not knowing why. Sometimes it is hard to explain stuff...
