1001 Albums Summary

I didn't get it at all on my first listen, grew on me on the second time through though. This would be a phenomenal album for a road trip through the forested country side or a camping trip. Pretty good but reviews that told me it was one of the best albums of the 90s set me up for disappointment.

One of my first vinyls and my intro to prog rock. Love it to bits

Comedy? Humorous anyways. Definitely interesting, feels like a precursor to some of the more off the wall things that Queen was executing later in the decade.

Couldn't get into it at all, not really into electronic.

Beautiful, the type of album that can transport you to another time and place, makes me forget some of the bad.

Badass, can we get hip-hop like this again?

Good? Presumably very conceptual for the time but it didn’t grip me really.

Yeah pretty cool, definitely carved out niche for the Tragically Hip, 54-40, Hootie and the Blowfish and some other alt rock of the 90's.

Music history lessons are always cool

This is a confusing pick for this experiment into must listen to albums

Pretty good, everything from this era kind of sounds similar.

Really cool, A side is phenomenal but B side got a little boring, it’ll get played again

Cool

So funny to me that this is the sound that brought British music back, not bad by any means just quirky. I did enjoy it but not one of my favourites.

Reminiscent of Tribe Called Quest

Very good, felt slightly formulaic based on other stuff I’ve listened too but based on historical context it’s clear that this album helped establish the formula. Will definitely listen to again and I may grab some Latin music for the vinyl collection.

Funky af

Guess you had to be there

This is like if In the Aeroplane over the sea was a punk album. Maybe that comparison is stupid but it makes sense to me at this particular moment in time. Either way, this is quite good for my punk-loving soul, unlike anything I've ever heard.

An album that only could’ve come into existence in the early 80s. Everything about how the band decided to present themselves is so peculiar. From Boy Georges look to the album art to the utterly perplexing music videos it just gets weirder and weirder. That being said, pretty good album. High points are Black Money, Church of the Poison Mind, and of course the ever-popular Karma Chameleon.

Enjoyable, pre-Strokes garage rock. A little slow at times but very emotionally driven. Builds on the late 70's post-punk model.

A perfect album.

Liked this more than I expected too. One of the songs ends with 15 seconds of ASMR breathing which made me deeply uncomfortable.

Some good songs on here, as someone who appreciates Tribe Called Quest this ticked a lot of boxes. Album will be immortalized by existing in liked section on spotify.

Not bad, not for me

This shit whimsical as fuck

Quincy Jones doesn’t get enough credit, maybe he does and I run in the wrong circles. But, hard to believe MJ’s work comes together quite as well without a true mastermind doing the mixing.

Not for me
