After two other "Yes" albums, I kinda like these long experimental songs. Nothing much special about this specific, but I believe that now I'm almost understanding all the hype around the band.

It's Queen. It's not the best Queen album, but it's rock!

Maybe it's a bad day, but I didn't like it too much. There isn't anything particularly bad about the songs, they are just too much the same as any modern hip-hop, but they haven't anything special for me.

Even without really understanding all the reasons, it's easy to recognize a masterpiece when I see one.

Much less noisy than the other Sonic Youth releases that I got on this list, so, much more enjoyable. I'll not become a fan of the band and I don't consider them so relevant to stay with more than one album on the 1001 list, however, this is a nice album and it's a good way to spend 37 minutes.

I didn't love it, but this is the kind of thing that makes this list worth it. Discover new bands, new songs, new ways of thinking in music.

Listening to this kind of "pop tango" was very surprising and also a good experience.

Good discovery of punk ancestry.

This is that kind of jazz album that is nice to listen to one time per year and remember why we have all this buzz around jazz music style. It's easy to understand with albums like that.

Reading the Wikipedia page, it turns even more special, with the different times' explanation. The extended version of the album with live recordings is for sure a 5 star. The original one is too short for it, but it's still a gem.

I know Duran Duran only by reputation and I was expecting much more from this album. In the end, it's just a boring new wave.

Ok, I still don't like electronic music at all, but this is list is trying hard to convince me of the contrary.

This is a very nice release. Could be shorter, ending at the tack 5m but still nice.

This is the kind of thing that is so unexpected that ends up being a good experience. I'm not a fan of "The divine comedy", but these versions and songs are pretty much cool. They are not quintessential for music, but I already received many worst things on this list, so, this is nice.

I was not expecting so much of this and I received exactly what I expected. Nothing special to say about this release

Pretty hard to say if I didn't like it because it's just almost the same country/folk 60's that flood this list so much or if I didn't like it because it sounds exactly like a B-side of Bob Dylan's band and nothing more, but I didn't like it so much.

"Enjoy the silence" deserves its own place on this list. One of those songs that are so recognizable that is tough to forget. Maybe it's overused and that is the reason it is a classic, but listening to it in the context of the album makes much sense. It's an extremely nice song.

The rest of the album? Well, it's nice. Sounds fresh even after more than 30 years and this is a nice thing, but it could be better if it had fewer songs. After all songs, it starts to sound repetitive.

When it started I almost don't like it, but after the first songs, I kind of liked this folk album with a strong voice.

I'll probably not be a fan of it, but it was good to know a new folk artist beside the clichês around.

Meh.... a basic new wave without much to say.

This kind of thing is the reason for my use of this site. It's hard to analyze these pioneering musical works, so I'll just remark that this is something that I'll surely listen to again in the future.

I swear that I tried to like it because I know about her importance for the music, but I can't, unfortunately.

Besides 1 or 2 songs that are nice, the album is nothing my cup of tea at all!

The 3 last songs almost give this album an extra star, but as a whole, it's just boring as hell.

This was very unexpected album. Good hip-hop style with some french style embedded into it.

Very nice discovery
