I was not expecting long songs for this punkish album, but it's not bad. I must say that I love it much more than I tough and I'll surely listen to it many more times in the future. A great point to this list. I like it very much when I discover new things around here!

I sincerely do not know why, but everything from Fleetwood Mac sounds to me like a copy. Sometimes a Beatles copy, Beach Boys copy, copy, copy copy...

I know this is not true, but I cannot rate it with more than three stars.

The bass line is pretty impressive, and the songs are lovely, but the album is not much more than this. Good to know "The Jam," whose I had never heard about, but I'll probably not go back to this.

This album has a lot of good vibes, and the lyrics are also enjoyable. I don't know if I'm receiving too much folk and folk rock, but even with a musical style that I appreciate, I think this album was a little bit repetitive.

I understand why it is part of the 1001 list, but it's not a 5-star due to the repetitiveness.

Altough a little bit repetitive, this album have a lot of good points: so much soul and so much jazz

Wake me up when the party ends.

1 or 2 songs are salvageable, and nothing more to see here. Let's go to the next.

Usually, I like folk music, and it was fascinating to listen to these pioneers of folk music in the way I want. However, almost 1-hour long of the indistinguishable songs is pretty much even for me.

2.5 stars

This is not a bad release, but it's pretty standard. I expected more from Ice Cube because I liked his first solo album, so this one had great potential.

Heavy metal is one of my favorite genres, and this is a classic thrash metal album. However, analyzing it in this list's context, I think it is a classical within the metal community and not a classical album for music history. It deserves some space when considering 1001 albums? maybe, but I'm not sure, even though it is an excellent Megadeath release.

The songs are lovely, and the album sounds good, despite some repetitiveness.

Very unexpected! I listened to The Byrds (at least in a complete sense) the first time because of this list. This is the third album from the band that I got here.

I think this one is a little different because I was not expecting a bit of experimentalist and psychedelia that I found in some songs here. I'm not sure if I can classify it as good or bad, but it's different and deserves the spent of 50 minutes.

I was missing some hip hop on the list since this album is the first in some days. It's not the best on lyrics (I like the themes, but here I feel it is a bit exaggerated), but it is very well produced.

I liked to know a good release, but it's probably not remarkable enough to take me back to it soon.

I had mixed feelings when I saw that the album today is from Björk. At the same time, that is not my favorite music style (far from it), but it's impossible to say that she does not bring a great personality and a natural artistic feeling to this list.

Given that this album is an excellent way to spend 50 minutes. More experimentalism than I like, but in the end, it's good music.

This is the third Björk album that I got here, and I hope this is the last, but if not, I'm sure I'll enjoy the next strange musical trip waiting for me there.

It's necessary to rate it with five stars because some music is far from my preference, but it's a piece of art.

I liked to listen to this album on a Monday morning, but I miss the "dark" tone I was expecting from Radiohead. I know that the lyrics of this album are far from optimistic, but it does not look like the same band from "Ok computer," even being a good release.

This is an excellent album that I was not expecting!

Last week I got another Taylor album on this list, and the difference in 4 or 5 years of her project "getting. back to her roots or something like that" is working. I still think that this album is quite long, but I'm genuinely curious about the next steps of her career (something that I never believed was possible:-P)

To the same extent that I liked the first Mudhoney I received on this list, I "disliked" this one.

It's not bad, but while "Superfuzz Bigmuff" is raw and authentic, "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" sounds generic and expected as any 90s grunge. Maybe it's just my mood listening to it today or the not-so-good recording quality, but it's not the best from Mudhoney.

It's still worth listening to this album, but it's forgettable.

I'm not a big fan of Deep Purple, but listening to this release, I get the reasons for this so-long hype. They are consistent in their albums, and Machine Head is somehow the summary of their potential.

A classical album does not become classical for no reason.

It's bizarre to listen to it because I didn't like it so much, but it sounds very similar to some things I like. It resembles some songs from David Bowie and Bob Dylan but never reaches the quality I expected.

Three stars look fair to me.

This album is her first album despite the name. It is much less Björk and much more enjoyable for my ears' taste.

I liked it, and the last song is the best one. After that, I got the idea of her most recent albums and more "experimental" songs, but these are great examples of her talent besides these experimentations.

I must say that I didn't like this so much of this release (I prefer his less-pop releases), but I should pay respect to Prince.

Maybe I'm becoming a Nick Cave fan? Maybe...

Altough a little bit repetitive, these piano sessions are a great piece of music!
