Rated 1/10
My initial thought when I saw the album cover was, uh oh Cannibal Holocaust! 😬
Hadn't heard of The Slits before, read a bit about them, post-punk feminism. Reckon they'd be great live (in a late night club). But this album did not resonate with me at all, doubt I'll ever listen again.
Rated 8/10
I was only aware of Screaming Trees because of Mark Lanegan's collaborations with QotSA. This could be an underrated gem, a grower, I'll be re-listening to in future.
Rated 10/10
For reasons unknown, Maxwell's Silver Hammer regularly plays in my nightmares. 🤷
Aside from that, it's an excellent album.
Rated 10/10
Whenever the topic of cultural appropriation comes up, this album gets a mention. Maybe I'm naive, or probably just nostalgic, I saw this in a positive way - would I ever have been exposed to South African music styles? I still enjoy this album, upbeat, bass, love it! (again, nostalgia!)
Rated 1/10
It's so bad that even Nico herself refuses to listen to it. Wondering if this album was included in the 1001 as an example of good intentions gone horribly wrong?
Rated 6/10
Digging the beats, sampling and groove. But I'm kinda disappointed that the album wasn't called Lee's Sportswear.
Feeling groovy feeling herbal!
I'm fond of Homeward Bound, it always popped in my head when passing Widnes train station, not that I ever stopped off in Widnes, perish the thought! *shudder*
Rated 8/10
Enjoyed this, the arrangements, the harmonies, some of the lyrics are a bit suspect, but still classic album.
Rated 8/10
This is the second OutKast album we've had since starting the 1001 group... and it's a double album, 40 tracks, 2hr 15mins runtime, blimey!
Not my usual taste of music, but listening along (with headphones) I kinda lost myself in it, good beats. Some of the skits and interludes were funny.
I preferred Speakerboxxx over The Love Below.
Rated 8/10
For nostalgia reasons, it's a classic album. Youth, talent and determination.
The original CD had a hidden track at the end - Sick Party - of them all puking up. https://open.spotify.com/track/6m5JPMEeIDUzU6ifOYn9Yr
Rated 6/10
I was too sober to fully appreciate this album.
Rated 4/10
Tired and overplayed. When this album was released, I was working at Blockbuster Video, it was played constantly for a couple of weeks, drove me to boredom. Aside from standout tracks; Writing To Reach You, Driftwood and Why Does It Always Rain On Me? the rest of the album is dull and dated.
Rated 6/10
I do like LCD Soundsystem, but on the day we had it, I wasn't in the mood - I was probably hungover - so didn't rate it.
Listening again today, it's super repetitive, but still digging the jam.
Rated 4/10
I like the Beach Boys, but found this album odd. I ended up putting Pet Sounds on afterwards to recalibrate myself.
Rated 6/10
I hadn't heard of this. No immediate standout tracks, but overall I enjoyed it on in the background. Pleasant album.
Rated 6/10
I'm more familiar with 80s/90s Aerosmith, less familiar with this album. It was alright, digging the guitars!
Rated 10/10
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Rated 6/10
I can't remember when Michael Stipe's persona started to annoy me. I tried to put that aside and enjoy the album. Good songwriting, good tunes, good bass, solid tracks. Close to giving it a 4, but Stipe still annoys me.
Rated 8/10
Never judge an album by its artwork. I was pleasantly surprised by this. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Still humming Wild World..
