First time listening. It was going pretty well, as a britpop-esque type of thing, that was until the bloody harmonica reared it's head, gah!
Other than that, it was alright. Shame it's easily forgettable.
Rated 6/10
Some parts good, some parts less so. Listenable enough.
Rated 6/10
There are many parts I like about this album, but I think I like the idea of listening to LCD Soundsystem more than I actually do enjoy listening to them. Maybe I'm never in the right mood for them? Why I intend on persisting it's a "me" problem, I dunno!
Rated 6/10
Better than I'd expected... and more glam rock too!
Rated 8/10
I'd listened to this a several times over the past few years. It's a decent album, but The Killing Moon is the jewel in the crown.
Rated 6/10
Enjoyed that way more than any circle jerks I've been part of!
Rated 6/10
Unavailable on Spotify, (but thank you to Sam next door for a CD copy).
I had to laugh at Nigel's comment "I think secretly Andy Partridge would like to join the Beach Boys", but I misread this as Alan Partridge and couldn't stop laughing, A-HA!
The album was alright, but I'd probably pick Skylarking as a better XTC album.
Rated 6/10
I don't think one listen of this album is enough to do it justice. It'd probably be more endearing after several listens, (which given my current 1001 backlog is doubtful).

I was going to skip this one, coz Kanye West is a bit of a knobhead these days, but then I wondered if I was missing something with it, so had a listen... it started off fine for a hip hop pop rap album, but once the skits bled too much into the later tracks, I lost all interest.
Rated 6/10
Nice, easy listening, all very pleasant.
Rated 8/10
Sounds way more modern than 1973, so yeah it was Future Days alright. Quite surprised how good it was. An optimistic 4 from me.
Rated 10/10
I thought I'd get bored of this, but nope, great album, classic!
Pretentious wank!
Rated 4/10
Was this deliberately "randomly" selected as our group's 666th album? 🤔
Some days you just need to let your hair down, mosh around and scream fuck yeah!
...I was exhausted after 10 minutes!
Rated 6/10
Lyrical poetry about love and hate... and not a harmonica in sight!
Rated 10/10
When a Led Zeppelin album comes up on the 1001 list, I always enjoy it, but I'd never really listen to them afterwards, and I'm not sure why.
Listening to IV, I found myself trying to pick faults so that I could down score it from a 5 vote, probably because I have a massive soft spot for The Beatles. But I can't fault it, 5!
Rated 4/10
When it says 69 Love Songs on the tin, I wasn't expecting literally 2 hours 45 minutes worth of songs. To give a reasonable review of this album it'd need to be listened to in a few instalments, which I doubt I'd want to put the effort in for.
From the initial one-off listen, it's an alright 3-side album, giving me Lou Reed vibes, quite humorous in places, tiresome in others, nothing I disliked, but equally who would love a chicken with its head cut off?
2.5
Rated 6/10
I wasn't in the mood for a double-album, but at an hour runtime, wasn't excessively long. Overall, it was okay, lots of pop funk, but nothing to make me want to revisit in future.
What was going on with "Housequake"? I thought WTF? Is that Eric Cartman singing? Then by the end of the track, I was bopping along. Not sure how to process this.
Rated 4/10
As others have commented, the sounds a bit like an Australian jangly pop version of The Smiths. I enjoyed the songs that didn't feature a bloody harmonica! 2.5
Looks like I'm the fool again, I don't like it, no.
