I believe that I had never listened to Bee Gees with attention before. This is a nice album and looks a little bit different from what I expected. It's still recognizable as Bee Gees, but it's purposely fancier.

I probably never listen to it again in a row, but some songs maybe.

One of the best things in following this 1001 albums challenge is this kind of discovery. I never heard about "The Gun club" before, but this early post-punk is becoming one of my preferred things to listen to these days. Great discovery!

The worst of two worlds. Electronic elevator songs.

Interesting for the first 2 songs, then a deep and strange valley with some not-so-good things that made me think what was happening, and finally a calm end with a very beautiful melody. My definition of a 3 stars album.

I like to receive things from the 2000s that I didn't know anything about.

Country musicians ruining country music since always

So strange and so recognizable...I liked it, but it's not anything so special. Maybe another day I'll give it another try just to check.

This is the third album from Roxy Music that I get on this list and it's very impressive how different they are from each other. This one it's absolutely the best one. Very sharp melodies and good experimentation without loss of quality on the songs where they are more "classic". I probably need to go back and listen to again "Roxy Music" and "For Your Pleasure", just to check if I lost something the first time because this band really rocks (apparently)!

I didn't think I was going to like this album, but I did somehow. The strings and flutes with that strong voice are kind of mesmerizing.

I'll help to keep this album in the first place of "Highest Rated Albums" on the site. Nuff said!

Am I listening to a 70's heavy metal? Or maybe a true hard rock band from the '80s? Maybe, it sounds a little bit like an English indie rock from the 2000s?

I'm not sure if I liked the whole album because it's a little bit longer than I normally like, however, it's impossible to not say that it looks like a real trip in rock history and a well-done trip.

It's the second PJ Harvey album that I got on this list. Until now, I'm still not in the hype, but it's a nice album, nothing so much special about it.

I didn't understand it at all, but it's very nice to receive this kind of album here on this list. Just listen to it and it's absolutely impossible does not to note the importance and influence of these songs in almost everything I listen to every day. The language, the drums, and everything else is recognizable in some way

Unexpected surprise, not understandable, but very cool!

Pretty cool album with some influences that are hard to define, but still with a clear purpose.

It's hard to establish that it will some kind of classic in the future, but for sure it will influence the next classics.

Reading the Wikipedia page I was expecting a true revolutionary album, but it was very disappointing. Maybe it was revolutionary when it was released, but today, it sounds very generic and not so good electronic rock.

This was very impressive and unexpected. I don't remember if I've already listened to something from Todd Rundgren, but this release sounds really great and that is the type of thing that made this 1001 list worth it.

A lot of experiments that sound much more modern than some 2000's bands, but still very enjoyable without exaggerated virtuosic.

I liked it very much!! It's not 5 stars, just because there is one only song that is kind of exaggerated, but it's almost an essential album.

I liked much more of the new Slipknot releases, but this first one is not bad at all. It's possible to see all the characteristics that made the band famous since this firsts songs.

I liked it, but I kind of annoyed with all these Beatles-like songs. Maybe it's a matter of the day because some days I'm really into it, but not this time. Good album.

I didn't get the meaning of all songs from this album, but it's one of that cases where a classical is easily recognizable.

I already listened to some new releases of this band (actually, I didn't even know that they were a 90's band), but this album sounds so different that I didn't recognize the band as the same as their newer albums.

This one is a very nice 90's indie rock with some good songs and a little bit of extravagance. Nothing so remarkable, but a good album for a Friday morning.

I'm very happy to didn't like so much of this album from this genius guitarist but an awful person (at least during the last years).
