1001 Albums Summary

Meandering mid rank movie tat

Meh.

Repetitive but some great thrash riffage.

Few good tunes but nothing that memorable.

Great lyrics and some great tunes but gets tiresome quickly.

Some merit in it vut zero chance it'll ever be back on my speakers.

Absolute meandering nonsense.

Some good tracks but a lot of nonsense as well. Still beyond me why so many people are obsessed with the Beatles.

Still sounds great.

First track started promisingly but quickly descended to warbly dross.

Boring inoffensive middle of the road pop.

Too much of it goes nowhere and the singer is a wet flannel.

Half the songs are copy paste instrumentallly so is fairly boring. Marley is great vocally but it's nothing too exciting.

Cringey lyrics but solid enough tunes.

Great musicianship and song writing.

Perfectly fine.

Typical 60s pop rock.

Couple of decent tunes but mostly just insipid filler from a predatory, sleezy midget.

Not for me. Tedious to sit through.

Excellent.

Barely above background computer game music.

Well put together and plenty of catchy hooks.

Bit daft but solid enough.

Remains edgy and sounds fantastic 30 years later.

Boring beyond belief.

Rightly thought of as a classic.

Pish. Boring, generic patterns repeated ad infinitum.

Mediocre in every way.

Good at what it is but never going to put it on intentionally.

Well put together but pretty generic.

Totally naff.

A lot of cool stuff on it but also too many tracks that don't really go anywhere.

Excellent. Proper rock.

Shit guitar work, laughable drumming, same naff guitar fills on every tesious song, same song structure every time and all fronted by a whiny, borderline retarded wankbag. Hated them then, hate them now.

Pretty shite. Run of the mill, cliched, insincere tat. Mr. Cool wreaks of desperation, wanting to be in the cool gang but probably spend his high school years playing Warhammer.

Far better than I expected, musically diverse and unpredictable.

Been thrown into this list to tick a genre box. Absolute wank.

Solid with some outstanding songs but very formulaic so becomes pretty repetitive.

Was a 2 star until I learned all the lyrics were just nicked from someone else. Commie bastard.

She has a great voice but all the falsetto vocal breaks evey other line is pretty jarring.

Not great. Band can play but the songs are weak.

A lot of songs instantly forgettable.

Couple of really strong tunes and plenty of atmosphere throughout. Too many bland entries pad it out though.

Mostly utter tosh including some tunes that feel like they're on there as s joke.

Weird, sinister, hillbilly rock. Perfect for metal bands to rip samples from.

Loads of brilliant guitar work.

Motorhead have one song, then endless, watered down copies of it.

It's R&B.

Dumb as a brick.

interesting enough lyrically to persevere but its still cuntry.

Good band ruined by a dreadfully weak singer.

Proper musicians and a solid listen.

Fine for what it is.

In this book to hit a diversity quota. Absolute drivel.

Full on crooning cringe.

God awful vocal style shits all over a clearly talented band. Why you'd throw a microphone at a guy having a stroke rather than ring 999 is beyond me.

Some great moments throughout but does drag on a bit in the middle.

A decent amount of good riffs and tunes hampered by a shite vocalist and too many vocal lines that sound pre-recorded and pasted over whatever blank track spun up on their 4 track.

Some superb backing tracks separated by screechy nonsense, largely about going for a swim.

Better than expected but still pretty non descript. Don't get the fuss.

Made it half way through. Not half bad.

Sloppy, airy, fairy tosh.

Great guitar work but the Beavis and Butthead style of metal sounds even cheesier now than when this was released.

Some great songs but most of the lyrics are like something a horny teenager would scribble. Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. Its naff.

Most grunge was pretty rubbish, this included.

Morrissseys dulcid, rambling tones are chalk on a blackboard.

Nothing special, very generic.

Obnoxious, infantile, idiotic drivel. All attitude over suubstance.

Blues by numbers.

Struggles to get close to the bug bit in the middle. Solid 80s synthetic.

Massively insipid singer makes middle of the road songs insufferable.

Great stuff for the most part only struggl8ng with the load/reload songs which are mostly beyond saving

Inoffensive but nothing very exciting.

Rubbish.

Honestly, what is the fuss over this guy.

Brilliant in its scale and variety of themes. Loads of great songs interspersed with a full albums worth of filler. Nobody wants to listen to Billy Corgans shrill voice for 2+ hours.

Songs that go nowhere with an idiot mumble barking over them.

Just another mediocre wispy female vocal. Not much to get excited about.

Packed full of cracking songs.

Generous 2. Most of this is hugely dull.

Never heard of them before. Not bad.

Nothing very interesting. Can't see him having much of a career.

Absolute drivel. Idiotic themes and mostly just a jumbled mess.

No thank you.

Bloody awful. Repetitive, slippy and boring.

Guessing you either like his vocal tone or loathe it. Made it half way through the album...

Moronic, low brow and pretty obnoxious in parts. Propped up by a host of thoroughly skanky guests.

Middle of the road tunes with yet another vocalist who can't sing.

Excellent for the most part even if they don't seem to know when to call a song done.

Very enjoyable listen.

Proper band with an album full of solid tunes.

TV chat show jazz

I'm sure it sounded ground breaking when it came out but hearing it for the first time 40 years on its pretty simplistic and largely boring.

Well put together and varied. Surprisingly palatable.

Sounds identical to wveey other country album. Same chords, same melodies, same overtones of incest.

Middling tunes let down by half the vocals being completely out of tune.

Very good, enjoyed this a lot.

Brilliant start but loses its way in the second half.

Cool vibe but fairly dull for a sizeable chunk of it.

So many great songs interspersed with a bit of filler.

Sleazy and packed full of iconic riffs.

Mostly utter shite.

Good rap is still rap.

Nonsense.

Every song is a carbon copy of the last.

Hard to know what to make of this. Adventurous in its day perhaps.

Old boy writes a pile of great hooks but hasn't a clue how to expand or develop them making the stand alone listening experience really boring and hugely repetitive. Lazy.

Don't see what the big fuss is all about with Bowie.

Plenty of variation, solid chill tunes.

Great voice.

Nothing that exciting.

Clever, visceral and very entertaining.

Largely just rambling over completely disconnected freestyle jazz background music. He has some brilliant songs in the catalogue but spared them from this muck.

Meh.

Really dull with repetitive samples looped for 6 minutes and called a song. Maybe worked in the clubs back in the day but pointless as a home listen

Much better than I'd expected.

Really interesting on the whole, let down a bit when it goes full on self indulgent jam session.

Barring the couple of "hits", it's fairly weak.

Great production and packed with head bangers. Goes a bit limp in the back end but still a great metal template.

Largely rather excellent.

Basis of most of the songs are really good but they never do anything with them so gets very samey.

Starts off brilliantly but the second half is a bit flat. Plenty of great tunes I'd never heard before though, somehow.

It's country.

Just the right side of irreverent to be entertaining.

One dimensional and very damey for the most part. Couple of stand out tacks elevate it beyond throw away meh.

Interesting and imaginative.

Amateur hour.

Diverse and better than I expected.

Horrible mix but doesn't stop this being an absolute monster.

Not what I had in my head for this band. Far more varied and imaginative than expected.

Wise man once described this as aiming for mediocrity and falling way short. Bland, corny nonsense that was too painful to sit the whole way through.

Still don't understand what the big fuss is about Bowie. Some good verses and choruses but never in the same song. Half the tracks are directionless and despite there being plenty that should make it interesting, it largely isn't.

Surprisingly good. Loses a star as Dylans drunk at a wedding vocal style gets on your tits after a bit.

Cool when he's actually on the tracks. Too much background listening.

Found his whispery, insipid voice unbearable, ruining a lot of decent songs.

Lost 4 stars off the bat with Jarvis Cocker in full sex pest mode. Music is catchy in spots so redeems it slightly.

2 openers that most will recognise and like. The rest is, well... a bit shite.

Really bland and monotonous. All style, no hooks.

Amusing in parts but hugely repetitive and generic.

They're more interesting than I had always given them credit for.

Excellent in parts, sol8d throughout.

Good but not my bag.

Dull

Songs go nowhere and the basic building beats are pretty uninteresting to start with.

Couple of brilliant tunes but can't get past the fact most of it is nonsense and he is individually repulsive.

Dylans voice is insufferable most of the time.

Never got the fuss.

A raggedy mess for the most part, sounding like a bedroom demo they couldn't convince anyone to let them record.

It's Dylan.

It's very good but still just rap at the end of the day.

Insipid 80s pop by numbers.

Run of the mill, heard it 1000 times before tedious (c)rap.

Starts well but descends into abject nonsense really quickly.

Absolute and utter dross. Honestly, why this sort of abject shite gets hyped up by swathes of actual grown adults is beyond me. Yobbish, dumb and painfully monotonous.

Brit pop by numbers.

Nice but fairly uninspiring.

Musically interesting in parts but the gimmicky rap is just as dull and soulless as virtually every other rap album.

Better than I exp3cted.

Juvenile, obnoxious, moronic, laughable. But well mixed.

Hugely bland with a singer who sounds like he can't be arsed getting out of his bed to do his vocals.

Really good. Plenty of variety, unpredictable changes and interesting from start to finish.

Good music but melodies and vocals all over the place.

Massively uninspiring.

Stones are markedly better than I'd always thought.

Varied and solid from start to finish.

Very samey but solid.

Couple of catchy tunes but mostly pretty dull stuff.

Does little for me but hard to say she's not brilliant.

Meh

Brilliant album, great production and barely a bad song on it.

Dull as mud from start to finish. Mono toned, mono rhythmic and mono paced.

Better than expected and definitely more enjoyable when you can't see his half naked frame cavorting around.

Vocals are painful to listen to.

Decent band in the background.

Over my head why this is revered. 3 planks spouting fantasy lyrics in a monotonous, single paced, rhythmically tedious, naff fashion. Pile of nonsense.

Technically excellent but bereft of any structure which leaves it sounding like a self indulgent ivory wankfest.

Plenty of solid hits and thankfully more upbeat than the swathes of depressing wallowing that followed.

Very creative and proves he's more than just a media clown. Will never listen again though.

Thrashtastic.

Dark, complex, interesting and thoroughly solid from start to finish.

Massively bland.

Very repetitive and pretty bland.

Decent band, laughable vocals.

Country cr8nge.

2 great tracks and a load of filler.

It's good. For jazz.

Dull and goes on forever.

Excellent album but not as good as appetite for Destruction.

Two absolute and utter wankbags spewing out middle of the road moderate rock. All been done before and better. Style over substance.
