I really don't like electronic music, but to my surprise, this is a nice album. According to Wikipedia, it starts the style of trip-hop with the mix of electronic and hip-hop and I think that this mix made my opinion change a little. It's not the type of music that I choose to listen to during my day, but at some electronic party, these songs would be a very good choice.

A calm and introspective album with some very good songs in it. I didn't know anything about Elliott Smith, but his songs sound like a good remember of the simplest teenage years, including all the teenage problems.

This is so boring and common that I don't understand why it is on this list. Anything between a piece of elevator music and an end of party music. Even the live versions have not any soul.

It is a refreshing album. Good to listen to after something more experimental or hard to understand. In short, it is a simple album, but here, simplicity it's a good thing.

I started this album expecting something like any mid-2000 indie rock, so, I wasn't expecting too much. However, this is a very nice album, with fewer cliches and some good songs. Nothing spectacular, but a nice album.

This is the longest album that I already listened entirely. It's hard to evaluate it because it has almost all song styles and possibilities for an English love song. a kind of repetitive album, but it's not the worst thing ever, just an "ok" album with an ambitious idea behind it. Ambitious albums are almost always a good idea, but this one is not one of the best-executed ones.

This is one of the best albums that I didn't know and I'm listening now with this site. This is just a great and classical rock album with all the strength and soul that was expected from a real rock album. For sure, it is a five-star album

It's very nice to listen to some clean and real raw rock album. It's not one of the best albums for me, but it's very honest.

It's very interesting to listen to this album because it sounds like classical gangsta rap most of the time, but it's because it's is one of the classic albums of this style and inaugurated all of these classical characteristics. A great experience!

I like jazz music, but for no good reason, I don't listen to it so frequently. This album is a good remember that I need to listen to it more and more. An excellent album for all days.

This is a great album that I already know before. It has some of the most important songs in the whole world.
Impossible to give it less than 5 stars

It's very nice to listen to something that sounds "grunge" besides Nirvana or Pearl Jam, but also has many experimental songs with a kind of metal that is good even not understanding everything. In short, it was good to know this album, even not being the best one on this list until now. Probably, I will listen to it again someday...

I liked this album but is too "simple". I know that maybe it was revolutionary for 1995, but nowadays it's just another indie rock band without anything great for me. Sure, I'm biased by the fact that I didn't know anything about Garbage, so I don't have any affective memory with it, but it's an album that I probably will forget tomorrow.

I liked this album very much. It sounds so true and so fun. It sounds like "good days". I didn't know Blur much more than "Song 2", but now I'll search for all other albums to know a little bit more. Definitively, worths it!

This sounds like a real classic. No matter who you are, these songs are all very recognizable to anyone. Great album.

Electronic music is definitely not my place. However, this album is very good in simulate the annoying of long road trips (at least).

I started this album knowing the name "Dire Straits", but without any reference to any song, however almost all the songs are very familiar to me, actually. It's the type of album that every song has a kind of "I know this one from 'Guitar Hero'", "I know this one from that movie", etc...
So, many songs are very famous but it is something very common, just the simple and old hard rock. It deserves a chance, but the songs are better as the soundtrack for movies and games instead of a complete album.

This is another example of a band that I already know about (actually, I like very much R.E.M. songs) but never listened to this whole album in a row.
For this experiment of 1001 albums, this is just the third one but is for sure the best until now.
It's really worth it!

I like Iron Maiden since my teenage years, but to my own shame, I never listened to all songs from this first album. It's a great thing how much these songs sound fresh comparing with more recent Maiden songs. It looks like a great 2021 metal album.
Absolutely a great album!

I never listened to LCD Soundsystem before, even knowing the band by the name. It's a strange album that sounds "strange" to me. First I thought that it was "too much experimental", but I like experimental music too, so this is not the problem.
In short, I didn't like it too much, but It had some very good songs, like the last one, for example. I'll not listen to it again in the next weeks, but maybe it deserves a second try some day.
