1001 Albums Summary

## tracks - sex beat: surprisingly subtle lyrics for punk. no such luck on the melody. 6/10 - preaching the blues: cool vibes 7/10 - promise me: slide guitar mmm, - she's like heroin to me: strong 8/10 - for the love of ivy: same chords, rythm, vibes as she's like heroin? was I expecting punk to be creative.. - ghost on the highway: - black train: actually different, vocals ## overall thought hear one song and you've heard them all but that's the genre right? pick a different rythm, key, vocal delivery. innofensive background energy. 80s must have been dire if this is some of its best 5/10 mother of earth came on right after and hooo boy!

Eh, hooky guitars.

Odd mixing, strong lyrics and themes.

- fucking long - nice balence of trad / modern - strong themes, emotive. - some overly trad songs - odd flow of the album --> meet me at the station into soon as I get home. - good variety of styles and vibes

- never listened to Lynn before, now I know why. - Jesus, the 60s must have been dire... No, Sgt. Pepper and Hendrix's first album came out this year. It was just this album that's dire. - genuinely checked whether my sub was plugged in.

- this album rocks but maybe dwells on some loops a little too long. - I forgot how much fun it is to work to big-beat, album is almost too dance-able to go with spreadsheets. - undersells its bass and guitars, oversells the phasing square synths. - fairly repetitious structure in most tracks (strong & creative intro, energetic beats to 3/4 mark, then a downtempo loop breakdown that's a little too long) - second half is a strong shift, astute ordering. - The Matrix 4 can't come fast enough.

- great themes - interesting instruments - cohesive album

- vocal affectation is an acquired tastes - bluesy vibe but pedestrian chords.. where's the jazz? - few tracks that are just eh - songs are so short they are almost jingles..

- Strong concept and sound. - Overstays welcome with somewhat repetitious energy - No musicianship flair in the solos - Pioneering but not quite timeless

- Unambitious rhyme schemes with some standouts (By the time I get to Arizona) - Interesting samples, nailing it occasionally (Can't Truss It) - Dated but stands up but is no Enter The Wu Tang - Strong variety of paces and beats

- strong musicianship - kinda out there but also poppy - wildly explicit lyrics, truly shocking

- punchy drums and punchier delivery. - surprised with the variety and consistently high quality of blues - One or two filler tracks - misc screams are the real MVP

- dated themes. Consistent.. but boring. - washed out mixing putting too much focus on wobbly vocals, not enough on mids. - bands known for pushing boundaries at the time don't age well because the boundaries keep being pushed.

- atrocious rap - not sad that the nasal style of singing isn't a trend anymore - great guitars and synths, strong musical energy

- Nice lounge sound meets 3 piece jazz - Sax has strong improv, would love a drum solo - Mellow hammond organ, a little far back in the mix but impressive.

- good background music, cool bass - repetitive beats (apart from like the swallow) - doesn't feel like it's pushing the buck that far, wondering why it's in the top 1001?

- definitely dry mixing - strong pace and energy - not the strongest anthrax album but maybe the most influential?

- Cohesive album, a little slow to dance to. - synths are so clean they could have been made yesterday. Timeless. - Will listen to again but needs a specific mood.

- this album fucks, groovy. - flairs of innovation but not too out there. - Subtle orchestration, buttery vocals - Interesting characters but anything but sympathetic to them. - Lyrics flip. Some keep it so real (looking at you bad religion), some are crass.

- not sold on vocal style, - fun, cool, instrumentals, - nice mixing - some standouts but no song likes

- energy, variety, passion - personally like the sound they drive - might re-listen

- disharmonies are intriguing, - will definitely listen to again but needs right mood - not listened to much shoegaze but might explore more

- nice enough vibes, oddly out of period - accessible, diverse jazz - strong musicianship, no band ~sound~ though - less said about A Gospel the better.

- genuinely hard to rate a genre of music you don't know - nice balance of busy and background - can't tell the different impacts of the ragas but fascinating introductions.

- surprising variety of beat / melody - genuinely making me smile - lots of solid songs, this one is going into the rotation

- fun country-esque energy - dreamy with engaging solos but no distinct hooks - muddy drums and vocals

- so funky, so sexy - strong guest flow - melodies are pretty fun

- stellar recordings, - warm vibes of home, first crooner I've enjoyed - somewhat samey but some standouts (I sleep alone, last orders

- sad this is the first time I've heard it - wikipedia calls it the father of americana. I can believe it. - real variety

- vibes. - while discordant, quite listenable - well ordered album

- really like the sound; electronic, post-punk - a little dirge-ish in places but overall fun - Feels out-there for it's time. progressive

- joyous, fun folk/ska blend - more than a one-hit wonder album

- not taken with the vocal style, can he sing in tune? - feels like intentionally disconcerting melodies - I can see how influential this is but not something to listen to again. Didn't finish the album.

- Nice breadth of genre - feels influential, almost white stripes-esque? - strong musicianship

- Strong vocals and love the musical style - Great range and quality. - 'Does anybody really know what time it is", "Questions 67 and 68" and "Prologue" all got likes.

- distinctive strong sound. kinda sad this is the first time I've come across it. - Like a mature Killers - So glad to have this suggested.

- wonderful, joyous and jazzy - consistent album, nice flow - some funky standouts and big hitters (Sir Duke being more popular than Isn't She Lovely surprised me)

- strong variety of emotion and energy. from energetic Kowalski to mellow Star to introverted Burning Wheel. - strong production value - Personally loved the album, so many likes.

- easy listening, some spicier tracks but overall chilled. - bigband not my thing, solos a little muddy. - Drums are the standout, maybe followed by piano.

- terribly balanced for me at least. - raw and intimate but high energy - difficult but powerful

- joyous with range - strong instrumentation, folk roots but rocky punk vibe - lots of likes, will be re-visiting

- personally biased, this is 100% my jam. - unexpected jazz/blues elements with modern folk stylistics - suprising, polished and confident.

- so much fun, great vibes - great quality for a live album - left the album radio on all day - so many likes

- first good punk album I've listened to - surprising orchestration - some standouts but not enough to make punk a thing for me.

- jazzy and interesting - fairly generic lyrics - probably ahead of its time and still holds up

- sexy, silly, - low key, mellow - interesting and mildly out there

- vibrato is controlled but a little trying - strong genre album, variety and atmosphere are good - no standouts but consistent

- innovative, creative and distinctive - 20 Dollar a strong standout - competent mixing and orchestration

- somewhat boring, downtempo chill ish - pre-new wave... just wave? - Consistent and good enough mix

- feels strongly influential. Sepultura / ska / metalcore - innovative and diverse, thoughtful

- Funky and energetic. A more musical RATM. - Great vocal delivery, lots of time for it. - Would have loved to hear more of the bassist and drummer

- iffy volume mixing, nice for background with moments where it steals your attention. - Out-there but not as out-there as other Kate Bush stuff. Nicely listenable.

Strong musicianship, interesting vibes and very listenable.

- Fun afrobeat with engaging musicianship - Somewhat repetitive and boring in parts but nice in the background - Some sections are jazzy and engaging but big-band makes it a little messy.

- funky, impactful and diverse - but also coherant? - prince blends into the band, strong composing to hide the musicienship

- almost without talent. - trying very hard - drums miss the transitions more often than not - lyrical delivery really shows up how vapid the lyrics are. - it's short and I still didn't finish it

- first Cohen I've heard and blown away - strong cohesive direction but doesn't overstay it's theme - variety but also very powerful.
