1001 Albums Summary

Before: I heard Criminal a little while ago and liked it. Looking forward to listening, should be a good start to this! First listen: Wasn't expecting to love the slower stuff more than the louder songs at the beginning. Love her voice, piano parts are excellent, and a lot of good percussion too. Favourite song is Pale September

Not a fan of this. Nothing which is particularly bad, but nothing which I particularly enjoyed either. Sisters of the Moon, I Know I'm Not Wrong, Never Forget and especially the title track were exceptions, but four songs out of 20 isn't a great turnout

When I quickly saw the album cover I was dreading some easy listening jazz or something theatrical. Pleasantly surprised by some fun and funky pop! The bass really stood out in this, especially in my favourite 4 Ever 2 Gether, which went a little bit Depeche which I liked. The Look Of Love is good but ruined by the eBay ad. Not something I'm eager to return to, but good nonetheless

Too experimental for my liking. Elements that I enjoy, but not for me

Really enjoyable, but most of the songs are a little repetitive. That being said, The One I Love is my favourite

Good as far as country goes, but nothing much more to add. A bit weird to jump into a discography with a live album but there wasn't much choice in that

Nothing here for me. Dull soft rock. Think their early stuff might be better for me but remains to be seen/heard Edit: dnf, it almost depressed me with how boring I found it

Really liked this, love the title track and Fame. Didn't like the cover of Across the Universe, but the drums on it were good

Pretty good. Definitely not an expert on dance music, but I think it's well mixed, good sampling. Each of the tracks is a little bit long, but nothing major. May or may not listen to it again

Brilliant, best album yet. Somehow, an album that combines soul, blues, soft rock, and folk, none of which I would say I particularly like, manages to really grab me. Every song that comes on seems to be my favourite

Another experimental one. Nothing here that I like at all

Confirmed my dislike of Bon Jovi. Just cheesy cringeworthy pop metal. Can't really stand it

The best way to describe this is timeless. Influences from the decades before, sounds yet to come - No Action and Radio Radio feels a bit pop punk in a way? - and production that sounds like it came out in the past few years. Songs are great too of course, everything well played. Chelsea might be the highlight, and Lipstick Vogue is a great energetic track followed by the calmer Night Rally
