I never liked too much of Alice in Chains. No good reason for it, but never liked it. This album showed to me the reason: It's the same song for 1 hour!

It's not absolutely bad, normally I like this 90's feeling, but the exact same song for 1 hour is too much 90's for me.

"Layla" is enough classical for the whole album, but some other songs are also very good songs. This is not an exceptional album, it stills sounds like a "clean" 70/80's rock n' roll (this is not really a bad thing, but it's hasn't any real highlight besides "Layla").

This album gave me some mixed feelings because I dislike most of the electronic music that I listened to in this list of 1001 albums, but this one has some very good songs. Since I speak Portuguese, I'm biased, however, I'll ignore this bias and make this electronic album the first 3 stars electronic album on my list.

As a side note, it's very nice to discover new things, this project is really awesome.

Is this lo-fi to improve my focus during the work/study routine from Youtube?

It's nice to listen to these things that are the origins of the modern trending, but it's still not my style of music. 2 or 3 songs are nice to listen to.

This was the first electronic music album that I'll evaluate with more than 1 star. The first song has a dreamy sensation that is likable, but it's still that kind of European electronic song that's absolutely not my kind of thing.

It's very strange for me how "New Order"'s albums could be so different among them. They have some great albums and things like this one that does not deserve so much comment. By the ability to do so different things I'll give 2 stars, but this album is 1 star for sure.

I liked it much more than I thought initially. It's strange to listen to it so "sad" songs with this electronically vibe, but the Cohen voice is so interesting that hypnotizes anyone independentilly of the song. For sure, I'll include it in my favorite albuns list.

Nothing remarkable about it. I listened on Friday and now (Monday), thinking about what to write about the album, the only word is forgettable. Not totally bad, just forgettable!

Why this album is on this list? Why?

Is it possible to believe in a country song in a country album be more country than the most country song in a country world ruled by countrymen and countrywomen with country childrens singing country songs in a country album?

Yes, it's possible!

I'm not a fan and this album didn't change too much my impression of Madonna's work. It's nice, but (except for one or another classical song not included in this specific album) it's just mainstream pop music and does not mean anything at all.

This was a very nice album. I like the older hip-hop songs, but this kind of more "modern" hip-hop is so recognizable for me that it's almost impossible do not listen to some songs with a "home" feeling. The first songs are the best and the last ones are a kind of repetitive, but in a whole analysis, this is a great album.

This was another surprise because I always have some previous bad impression of Sonic Youth, but this album was pretty good. The first songs are great songs and if the album ended there, it deserved 4 or 5 stars. The last songs were a little bit strange, too experimental for an album that does not start with an experimental approach. I don't dislike these experimental songs, but also don't love them.

This is a second 5 stars in a row using this project and again it's an album that I knew just by the name before and never gets the necessary incentive to listen to it.

This was a great experience. The only drawback here is the short length of the album. I'll sure listen to it again.

This was great!!! It's so raw and real. I'm devastated for not know this band before. A great album that deserves much more attention. The songs are cool and different during the whole album, this "punk" sax thing is kind of a special thing and the vocalist is a very good example of the best punk singer.

I don't have any complaints. Just a great album.

This album was a pretty normal experience. Maybe I was expecting too much from it. It's not bad, definitively, but even the "experimental" part sounds just like old and classic rock and roll

With this album, I confirm my first impression that I only like the hits from Talking Heads and not of all of their songs. The album is not bad for me but is absolutely nothing special.

I'll keep the hits in my playlist, but I'll probably forget almost all songs from this album tomorrow.

This is a classical album that deserves 5 stars for the influence. Any modern hip-hop could not be the same without this album and, also, it sounds so new even today. Classical is classical for one reason!

It could be a good instrumental album, but it's just boring because includes too much electronic without any purpose. I can't see any purpose or line of reasoning in these songs. The last song, at least, is likable.

This was the first Beatles selected for me on this site (in a row of almost 120 albums now) and I'm glad that this was selected because I like too much of this band (not surprisingly), but I didn't listen to the cover versions from their initial years and this album (specially B-side) was a great experience for me. A great band playing the greatest songs and making history. It's not the best Beatles, of course, but worth each song.
