Pulp

5/5

Great connection between all the songs. I hadn't known that "Common People" is their song before listening to this album. "I Spy" sounds to me like a combination of all songs on the world - "It's A Sin" by Pet Shop Boys, a little bit like Queen. Of course "Disco 2000" is also worth mentioning! Definitely great album to be the first one out of the 1001.

Listening to guitar solos on this album is like putting your head into an exhaust of F1 car with V12 engine and pushing with low-fuel load around Monza. Absolute eargasm.

5/5

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

I'm not a hip hop fan, but The Love Below has a cool jazzy vibe, so overall the album is quite acceptable. 2/5 mostly thanks to "My Favourite Things". And God, this is long indeed.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

2/5

How an rock album can be so featureless? Total impotency. But "Wild In The Streets" somehow saves it from getting 1/5. However, I can understand why this album is among the 1000.

Elvis Presley

3/5

Expected that this is gonna be good and it was. Surely is an remarkable album. Not an Elvis fan, so a strong 3/5.

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

2/5

The first song and the guy's voice are good. The rest of the album is not even worth mentioning.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

5/5

A masterpiece. I cannot describe what I feel while listening to "Love Song" - I'm not often so deeply moved by any song. Vanian's voice - absolutely exeptional.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

4/5

I thought I'm gonna force myself to listening to this album, but it was actually really good. Not my type, but I enjoyed it. Very good.

Phrenology

The Roots

3/5

After listening to Phrenology, I understand why people like hip-hop. Still not my type tho.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Nice jazz stuff, but without singer that would be much better. I'm glad that I listened to "Glad". Too repetetive to rate higher than 3/5 (3.49 in my mind :D).

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

4/5

I think that it's almost impossible to fuck up an electronic album.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

Punk is always great. End of review.

Bruce Springsteen

Completely mediocre. Nothing to write about it. Quite a waste of time.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

3/5

yeah, i know it's something i had to listen, but didn't feel great pleasure. Cool voice tho.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

3/5

"Two States" - that's why I listened this album.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Mixed folk content from everywhere performed by one band - sounds bad, but it's not bad at all.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

Sounds like they were ahead of their times - hard to believe that's an album from 60s. "Mr. Soul" and "Good Time Boy" - best songs of that album.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Be patient while listening to this album. The higher the number of the song, the better the song is.

Harvest

Neil Young

2/5

Like every album with slow, sad songs.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

5/5

As TH no. 1 fan ;) I think that this album should be replaced by Speaking With Tongues, which to my best knowledge isn't among the 1000 (and one). Still, it's great to observe the transformation of the band from '77 to Fear Of Music. If you ever wondered how the mix of '77 and FOM would look like, that's the answer. When you listen to all the band's albums, it'll become very clear that an album like "More Songs..." had to be recorded. For me it always seemed like a natural step and maybe that's why I wasn't focusing on it. But songs like: "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel", "Found a Job'', "I'm Not in Love", "Stay Hungry", "The Big Country" and "Take Ne to the River" are absolutely TOP. I also have to say that "The Good Thing" sounds too calm and predictable for a TH song and "Artist Only" sounds too much like a Talking Heads song.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

1/5

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

Weird. And weird is good. Probably it'll be good to listen to it another time.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Multi-layer songs,

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

It's hip-hop for normal people. Nice combination of styles.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

I knew a few Radiohead songs before ("Creep", etc.) and I was expecting something similar but this album is actually quite good. Thank God I found out that I'm capable of listening to Radiohead without any physical pain, maybe even with some kind of pleasure?

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

2/5

Great voice, but she's using it for the wrong purpose.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

First 2 songs are amazing. The remaining ones - hard to listen.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

#30 - the best album so far, and they had tough rivals - Deep Purple, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Elvis, Kraftwerk. Oh my God... What they did I never heard in my life. Every songs sounds both different and similar to the others. This is so good that you're afraid of listening to this album again.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

2/5

When "Odyssey and Oracle" is the album that you had to listen day earlier, it's clear that "Scott 2" cannot be rated as high as its predecessor.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

When you have to pause the album to have a break three times, you know it's not a good sign.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

Vanishing Point

Eh?

Protection

Massive Attack

2/5

I read somewhere in the comments under one Talking Heads song that this is how MA would sound if they existed back then. Because of that I was looking forward to this album. Now I am looking forward to listening to the next one as soon as possible.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Another great song after great song.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

1/5

This is what happens when you try to make "more accessible rock" that of "Slanted and Enchanted". It's accessible for anyone, but admired by no one.

Germs

5/5

Hard punk f******

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

It's the same case as with electronic music - it's impossible to make bad RnB/Funk album.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

5/5

One of a very few woman that I enjoyed listening to. And you can understant what she is singing, too.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

3/5

I had an unpleasant duty of listening to their "Vanishing Point" earlier. "Screamadelica" is three times better, which is not a great achievement, but I even felt some kind of pleasure while listening to the first song.

American Pie

Don McLean

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

World music deserves the highest rating.

Nothing's Shocking

Jane's Addiction

4/5

Dobre, szalone pierdolnięcie. Czwóreczka się należy

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Kiedy moim oczom ukazał się ten album, natychmiast pomyślałem: szatańskie bełty, których nie da się słuchać. Tymczasem jednak zaprezentowana jest całkiem spójna, dopracowana całość. Gdyby wczoraj ktoś zwierzył mi się, że słucha Taylor Swift, natychmiast w powietrzu wykonałbym znak krzyża celem odpędzania złych duchów. Dziś również wykonałbym znak krzyża, ale jako błogosławieństwo.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

1/5

One of the biggest questions: why women with beautiful voices waste their talent for singing songs that are total crap, to say the least.
