I got sick of this when I was younger as my dad overplayed it in our car.

Listening back to today, whilst the production does sound dated, there was enough to keep me entertained. Cursed nostalgia! 😝

Just another ex-1001 album!™

I wasn't in the mood for another Morrissey album, I couldn't be arsed with the knobheadery. But was then later surprised how much this album resonated with me.

Television The Drug Of The Nation, a must listen, classic!

There is a lot to like on this album, but by the end I felt exhausted from political lecturing. I get it, we're still screwed!

Sure, it feels like the same song played 10 times over, but it still rocks hard! 🤘🤘

Similar review to Megadeth's other album on the 1001 list, it has insanely cool guitar and drum work, but thrash-metal isn't something I'd actively listen to.

I was unfamiliar with Calexico, was pleasantly surprised with the album, enjoyed it very much.

There are parts where I thought I was listening to Neil Finn/Crowded House, (which I love). Great blend of melancholy for a fine an autumn day.

I like Go West, but unsure why we need yet another Pet Shop Boys album on the 1001 list.

As always with Bob Marley & The Wailers, good chill reggae vibes.

After finding the YouTube links for the actual album (thanks to a fellow reviewer comments 🙏), this was much better than the "Level 1" version that was on Spotify.

Despite the 2+ hours runtime, I liked it, decent beats, drum & bass!

20 seconds into the opening track and things have already spun on its head! I couldn't figure out what this album was meant to be. Sure, it's country, but those random balladry-electro-swing-bluesy moments, gawd knows, did I enjoy it? I dunno, maybe, I'm so confused!

I do like the opening track, Favourite Shirts. The rest of the album has its moments, but overall feels drawn out and dated.

I didn't hate it, but it made me feel very very sleepy. 2.5

Great follow up to Funeral, I enjoyed this a lot at the time.

There no denying Hendrix's guitar mastery, but I struggle with this album as a 1001 entry, what does it offer that Are You Experienced or Electric Ladyland didn't already provide?

It's good, but probably taking up space for something more worthy to the 1001 list.

Odds and evens, I liked all the odd numbered tracks, I found all the evens a bit too folky for my tastes.

I do like the atmosphere Maal creates here, especially the funky and rootsy tracks.

The sound is definitely of its time. Felt that the first half of the album dragged on, with the second half picked up the pace, carrying it. 2.5

Good vibes, all a bit samey though.

One, two, three, four... Second verse, same as the first!

Ramones is very repetitive, and very listenable. Extra star for the punkness!

I kept thinking this was rubbish, but my foot kept on tapping along. Did I like this? I'm so confused!
