1001 Albums Summary

overproduced too perfect, washes over don't like the instruments wtf jamaica jerk off too competent un-engaging background music, tepid, MOR, boring i do not like this at all

Pretty good.

Noodly Busy Bit too dancy and upbeat Talking Heads but rougher more disjointed Like the singing style Can see how influential this is - it's influenced everyone Theme to Jackass! Track 8 v.good Drums sound like breaks Too many guitar solos Like that the songs are short So many ideas A lot of stuff I've consumed since the 90s has this as a part of it Overlong

Sleeping Gas, Treason, Poppy are incredible tracks. This is a decent album. Few too many horns. All about the vocalist, his voice is the main attraction.

Like it or not I know all these songs very well. Has a good stomp Can't deny that it's a great record They do what they do very well Unashamedly what it is Simple Not a bad song on here

Lots of energy here, pretty different from the New Order stuff I know. So well produced. Slick. Not keen on the drums. Unmoved. Unimpressed.

An album i know very very well. I grew up with this one. Criminology, Rainy dayz, Guillotine, Verbal intercourse, Glaciers of ice, Ice cream, Heaven and Hell, are all 100% absolute classics, some of the best hip hop ever made. The rest is made up of prime Wu Tang era production, with the two best rappers from the crew. Putting this alongside Ironman, Liquid Swords and Tical, all released within the same few years, is peak Wu Tang.

Slow Uninteresting Not a fan of the voices or the instruments or the pace Did not enjoy

Silly Fun Song orientated They are having a good time Like to hear church bells Not keen on these pianos Like the spoken word bits The Journey is the best song on here Sounds like a comedy record

Nice drum break on first track Not keen on 4/4 beats and singing with piano Don't like the singing over dance music Slower tracks better I could do without listening to Groove Is In The Heart ever again

Very nice indeed

Not a big Bjork fan Not keen on the guitars Jangly

Good lyrics Good voice Stop-starty Gets good on side 2 The Bed is an amazing track

Starts well with train sounds Drums Pleasant and nice Something good is happening It's all a bit good

Very minimal Don't like the voice, lyrics, or music

Don't like pianos used like this Corny Good voice Good energy Busy It's good! Trash is v.good This is great.

Good voice Good guitars Long songs Was hoping it was over and it was

Good voice It's good Sounds like Magazine Warrants repeat listens It's excellent

Pace and swing not enjoyable Tiger in your tank is good Not a fan of this

Ubiquitous A few gooduns here 4th Dimensional Transition best track on here

It's a wonderful album start to finish

Style so specific to an era So many samples and everything else, this is foundational for hip-hop 10 years later More social / political than I remember

Nothing to say

Lots to like about this. All about the voices

I liked it.

Song 2 was probably once good but now reduced to nothing from overexposure. Pretty annoying voice. Silly. Don't really know what they sounded like before so can't see why this was a change Theme from reto is pretty ok Death of a party drums Chinese Bombs good Can see how this fits into 1997 Essex Dogs good

I wonder if they have more Fall albums in the 1001, this wouldn't be my first choice. Not my favourite version of The Fall, some great moments though, and listening The Fall is always good and better than listening to most other things I guess this is a pretty accessible version of The Fall

Onie sounds a bit VU This is good stuff A good listen

It's no good for me

I purchased this on the back of the Zero 7 remix of Up With People, a Gilles Peterson staple on Worldwide at the time. None of the record sounded like the remix, of course. But, I liked it, even though it was distant to my tastes. Revisiting it now, it's a very pretty record. Gets better towards the end.

My very least favourite version of The Beatles Here Comes The Sun is v.good Because is good

It's very pleasant. Sunny. Lyrics not always sunny. Like the production in headphones. Red Rolled and Seen is good. Sone interesting stuff going on here.

I guess there's some fun stuff on here. Clearly good, but it's not for me. Some of this is unlistenable. 2 stars for TOLBINY and Baby Driver

Don't know how I'm going to listen to 3 hours of this. Amazing voice. These songs are everywhere and these feel like superior versions. V.good It's very nice indeed.

Would be 5 if I was still 16 years old. The world has changed a lot since.

Like the instruments palette, bit early Tom Waits vocals, on track 1 Track 2 I like much less Decent

There is so much about Blur I do not like. I will never listen to Boys & Girls or Parklife out of choice. Tracy Jacks is amazing though, their best song along with Out of Time. End of a Century is good. If you don't like his stupid voice it's a difficult listen. Far Out is good Better than expected

Like his voice First track wild It's good Many styles Like it

Oh no. This was everywhere. Funk, horns, ba-ba-ba's Music for food festivals 1 star for Blow Your Mind

First track absolute classic. You can hear the elements here that will appear in future Eno production work Cindy Tells Me - Cannibal Ox sample So many good ideas Title track is a top 10 track of all time for me

He is aiming for some big songs here This is serious songwriting stuff, he means it Father and Son is huge This is the kind of stuff people really care about

Slow piano ballads with a good voice, it's OK. Going for big important lyrics It's all a bit meh

I would never listen to this out of choice. Kind of enjoyable though. Love that accordion

The point where I tuned out of commercial hip-hop Don't like this production at all. Rapping is good. No thanks

Nothing to fault but nothing I like about it.

Big songs on here. Perfectly pleasant

Voice is ace VU vibes Loads of good stuff on here It's funny So much good

Good start Much more enjoyable than when I listened to it on release

A few big songs. Wouldn't come back to it.

Very good!

An album I know well Surprised I listened to this so much when it came out, it's all a bit smooth.

Sounds like The Beatles and Beach Boys Like the psyadelic stuff V.good

Actually does sound like the Beach Boys first track Pretty Time of the Season is good

So produced Jubilant horns Cherish is good It's fine but it's a no.

No

4 stars for Streets Of Your Town

Would be no starts if possible.

Put Your Quarter Up! Planet Rock! It's a beautiful thing.

Nothing not to like, but I'm not that excited.

Pretty average sounding now, all the singles are excellent though.

It is what it is, and it's not for me.

Probably their best one. Easy to forget the pay what you want release was a big deal at the time. Not just good songs, but a collection that stands as a whole, all working towards a mood. Some just amazing highs - the whole thing is incredible. The most connection I could have to songs.

Don't like this production. He is v.good though.

No no no

Headnodding start All gets a bit singer-songwritery / plodding Great voice Good production Not interesting enough

It's all a bit nice and straightforward and formulaic

Opening track is not the way to turn me onto Bowie Starman is good Has a palette and pace I do not enjoy Suffragette City is good

Kind of happy So tightly produced to the point of falling apart All The Kings Men is good Hurts my head

Yes please

Was going well until the sax Has gone extremely well since This is really good

Still sounds amazing

The only Bowie album I've ever enjoyed. Excellent stuff.

Kind of OK

Clearly good, but not for me

It's good.

Samples galore. Did not know the Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos sample An interesting dig into producers source material, but not much beyond that

A lot to like but I've listened to this enough over the years to know I'm never going to be heavily invested in it

The big songs are big and very good

More fiddly than I expected Its OK

Lots to like

Just stop with the sax. Enjoyable and interesting

Good voice. Good songs. 90s.

Kim Gordon vibes Wipers vibes Really good

God level brilliance
