I like Soundgarden, but except for the hit "Black hole sun", I think this is a pretty normal grunge album. Reading the Wikipedia article, I realize the importance of the album for Soundgarden history, but the songs themselves are fine and nothing more, nothing special.

It's very cool to discover this hidden hip-hop history. I'd like to know more to make a real analysis on it, give some background (besides the Wikipedia article), and an informed evaluation. This is the kind of music that demands some research work and this is something very nice. However, I'm limited, so I just would say that this was a fun experience and I want more hip-hop classics during this list of 1001 albums to listen to.

I know Björk, but I never liked too much of her work...it's not anything special, but it's nothing my kind of thing.

This album does not change my mind, but I think that I "understood" better her work and this is a nice thing.

It's very interesting to discover these "hidden" things from music history. This is not the best punk that I listened to, but thinking about the age of this album it sounds so much fresh that it definitely worths it

This was a very good surprise. A great album that sounds very different from "normal" American hip-hop.

This was a very nice surprise. The entire album gives me the sensation of being in the 80's being sad and living my life as a rebel teenager while my mom brings the fresh cookies to my cleaned room. Good experience!

The songs are nice too, but the experience is great!

It sounds to me just like some generic Alanis Morissette cover band. I'm not sure who came first, but this does not matter, it is just very boring.

Whow! That's something! I didn't know the band and this album was amazing!

It's a very nice surprise to discover these pre-heavy metal bands that I did not know about before. An excellent album.

This is a very good live album, but it's still a live album and I prefer studios over it. Reading the Wikipedia link, I understood the reasons for a live album, but I still prefer the studio versions

This was a good album. Nice to listen to it and very nice recognizable singles, but also very repetitive. Good to know a little bit more about this important band.

It's very nice to listen to something like Neil Young that is not Neil Young. I don't want to reduce Crosby's career to be some type of Young cover or anything like that, but I'm comparing their importance for USA's music. This album is good enough to show this importance but it's not the best work in my opinion.

It's funny because one day before this album I listened to something from "New Order" expecting something like this Devo album and found that I didn't know New Order very well. I didn't know Devo so well too, but my expectations were all achieved and these expectations were an album with a lot of synth-rock without much meaning....well that's not men, It's Devo.

The Wikipedia link was interesting.

I always liked Joy Division and I had something "against" New Order, but this album changed my mind. I need to go back and listen to them again. I know that this phase is not absolutely "synth" as the next albums, but it was a so good experience and I think that I'm able to give them another chance.

Is this really an important album anywhere in the world?
2000's years have so many good songs, but this one is just boring...

Besides one or two good songs, a long boring album with no personality. I know that Wilco influenced some new bands that I like, but I didn't see anything here.

This project is showing to me that I like Rolling Stones much more than I tough before these first 120 albums listened from the list. However, this is the third Rolling Stones selected in my list and I think that is the worst (the other two were awesome and this one is just good). I liked much more of this album because of the Wikipedia link. The history of this album and its production gave me another perspective of it, even wich the songs nothing touching me in any way. It worth it, but this is not the Rolling Stones album that I'll listen to in the near future.

I just knew one song from this band, but this album surprised me. It's very good.

A very nice jazz album. It's hard for me to evaluate this type of thing because I like jazz, but I don't understand it very well.

I didn't know this album, although it sounds like a classical. It was a very pleasable experience listen to it and it's easy to see their influence on modern songs.
