1001 Albums Summary

Iconic album. Lauren Hill is a boss.

It's so interesting to listen to The Kinks and The Beatles alongside each other.

Smooth from start to finish. Laid back and chilled out, but still puts you in a happy mood.

One of the more mundane Elton albums. Pretty bland.

Nothing particularly stood out.

A good album, with some great tracks, but a little long and repetitive.

Wide ranging. Clear influences of drugs and Yoko and all the various life stages they were going through. A classic.

Original hip hop. Laid back.

Masterful crescendos throughout the album. Doesn't even include my favourite Dusty song, but it's a ripper of an album.

Smooth, but bland. Maybe they were better once Neil Young joined.

It's fine for the elevator or going to bed.

I think this album is probably better than Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Well rounded, rockers and cruisy vibes, but it all flows.

Starts with a bang, but then just seems to drift.

Some iconic tracks. Primed for samples.

More classic tracks than I realised. Pretty good album for their first album with a one armed drummer.

Short songs that don't seem complete. Hard to get into, I feel like I would like them if they wrote complete songs.

I was surprised how much I liked this album. Not a band I normally go out of my way to listen to, but this is a great well rounded album.

Considered a higher score. Love the music and while it's metal there's still some good melodies. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Solid album. Some epic songs. It's fascinating to me the variation in Lennon and McCartney's songwriting style, it feels like your feeling different influences coming through even if both were credited.

Foot stompers.

Just not my thing.

Teetering on a 4. There's something about electro from bands that came out of the 90's that's just better.

Maybe I'm just generous because I'm really into this style of music at the moment. Would be good to know if I think the same in 3 years.

Would listen to this band again

Absolute classic. Non stop hits. Love the key changes. Probably the best album in a brilliant career.

Easy going catchy folk

Great songs, but they're mostly covers right - so can't really award stars for that.

Not for me.

Dylanesque. Bit bland.

Not bad, not that special

Didn't know much of their work before this, not too bad.

Haven't heard of Thundercat before. Really good music and I'll be listening going forward, but nothing stood out.

Some goodies, some are a bit bland. Not sure it's REM's best.

Might have been evolutionary for hip hop, but not my jam.

Average

Classic, Coldplay's best is still their first.

This is a pretty good album and uncovered a lot of Steely Dan songs I didn't know - enjoy them more the more I listen. Maybe it deserved 4.

I enjoyed this. When I started singing along to can't cry anymore, it had me wondering if I only liked songs that I knew and if the emotion was really nostalgia. Strong Enough my favourite.

Classic. Great end to end story telling and extra points for the unique style.

I find it hard to rate live albums against studio albums. This was thoroughly enjoyable, wish I was there.

I think I prefer when they went pop. I wonder how iconic this would be without the events of Cobain and Hole in 94, just another album maybe? Rock Star was my favourite.

This album is fine, and pretty nice background music, but I didn't find anything iconic about it.

Not my favourite REM album. A bit bland really.

This is not why you listen to Beck.

Doesn't have the most iconic Talk Talk songs, and didn't really jump out at me. Nice background music, or music to go to sleep to.

Dreary and dull. Guy can write but let someone else sing.

Solid album - start to finish.

Interesting album, but nothing that really stood out.
