1001 Albums Summary

I've not listened to Wu-Tang / Ghostface Killah before, and I'm surprised at how much this album reminds me, in structure, to Tenacious D -- I know it's really probably influenced the other way, but the skits and the over-the-top lewdness. Kinda fascinating. Highlights: "Kilo", "Whip You With a Strap" and "Back Like That"

Really beautiful.

I liked some of the songs, though they weren't my style. "He's the greatest dancer" is pretty catchy.

They definitely had an influence.

Bringing back the MEMORIES. I didn't know that Paul McCartney sang with him on one song here. I only remember "Wanna Be Starting Something", "Thriller", "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" -- all the other songs did not jog ANY memories, but those were SERIOUS throw backs. All in all, I don't think this is something amazing, though. 5-6 good songs, 3 of them GREAT, but the filler is pretty terrible.

First album on this list that I've heard and remember every song on. LOVED this album, even though Billy Corgan is a fucking douche now. (And probably was then).

Every song sounded nearly the same, just a slightly different tempo and different (repeated) words. It was fun, but nothing I'll listen to again.

Sounds like he was highly influenced by eastern mysticism and a fuck ton of drugs.

Really nice. Eclectic. Love "Birds and Ships", "One By One", "Way over Yonder in the Minor Key" and "Ingrid Bergman"

Sssssokay? Better than some of these albums. The blues aren't my jam, but this was fine? The drum solos were terrible.

This is, oddly, the album I most enjoyed so far.

First song sounds like it could be a demo of a 2010s band. These songs sound pretty 60s. I see influence on Queen, and influences from the Beatles. This was *surprisingly* good. Also, doesn't sound like what I would imagine a band called "The Zombies" would ever sound like.

Eh? Not my style. It was fine, but I'd never consider it a top 1000 album.

Nice. Raggae isn't my favorite, but this was good.

Wow. I got halfway through this and have no interest to finish it. The 80s are so bad.

First off: WTF with this band name and album title. And the song titles seem SUPER heavy handed. These folks had to have been on a shit ton of drugs. Didn't love this one, but I didn't hate it either.

It was good. I enjoyed it.

Good gravy this is good shit. Not the *best* LZ, but so good.

Reminds me of Dave Yeats. Enjoyed "Heavy Metal Drummer" as well as "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart" a lot.

Super chill album, and I *LOVE* the opening track.

Listened to the first 4 songs. Didn't grab me.

"A Simple Desultory Philippic" Sounds very Bob Dylan -- clearly influenced. Also, mentions Phil Spectre--a man who died recently, which makes me realize how recently this album was released. So weird. So many recognizable songs here.

This was kick-ass.

Had no idea about this album. It was very hit-or-miss, but overall enjoyable!

Okay? Nothing to write home about.

Never heard a single song off this album before. And surprisingly low fidelity?

Chill AF. Not bad, nothing I'll listen to again.

Surprised by this album. Raw, energetic, fun.

Meh? Soooo not my kind of music. Nothing to write home about at all.

Loved it!

Never heard much Slipknot, but this was pretty good. Nothing I'd listen to all that often because I don't need the aggression... but impressive and good for a day I'm feeling extra metal.

I do not enjoy Elton John.

Chill, nice. Definitely something I could live without.

okay?

Enjoyable. Dumb, but enjoyable.

Like it.

Amazing that he played this on a crappy piano.

Good gravy I love this album. I expect a 5 star. I haven't listened to it straight through in a decade, though... so we'll see. But I'm stoked.

Enjoyed a few songs a LOT, but found it to be more raw than I prefer.

This was *quite* good.

I can't listen to this and enjoy Eric Clapton anymore. Same thing with the Smashing Pumpkins since Billy Corgan is a total d-bag now.

Never did understand Bjork.

The first CD I ever owned. It's way less musical than I tend to like now... highly rhythmic and sort of experimental sounding. But I have good memories from it.

Had never listened to the whole thing but it's a definite vibe-fest.

Weird that this album was on the list, considering how late it is. And not that great?

Okay -- prefer "Songs for the Deaf"

I actually enjoyed this. It's not as good as it was in 1999 when I listened to it on repeat, but pretty fun.

More Hole -- how did these albums get on here? They're enjoyable, but how is Courtney Love on this top 1001 albums list TWICE? That just makes no sense.

Fine. Not offensive. Just there.

Damn this was good.

Damn this has so many good songs on this. Them Bones is sUCH a good opener.

Not as great as I remembered it being, but still so many good memories.

Love this album. Have a Cigar is wonderful.

Oh, Mr. Reznor.

One of the most underrated Beck albums.

Chicago is magnificent.
