1001 Albums Summary

Whe I read that it was the band from The Witcher's bard actor, I was a little skeptical, but the first song really impressed me. Overall I enjoyed this album, a lot of really intense moments, but I was left underwhelmed by some of the more softer and acoustic passages. Still a fun listen, great suggestion. 7/10

Although not my favourite from him (I prefer Dawn FM), it was the first time that I was really impressed by a Weeknd LP. Obviously, Blinding Lights is a huge selling point. Not the most original suggestion considering how popular the guy is, but still a solid album. 7.5/10

This is not a genre of music I would listen often. It is like eating a bagfull of ultra sweet candies in one sitting. But sometimes I am in the mood for a bagfull of ultra sweet candies. Even though this is not the kind of music that will please everyone, it is a fun album and I think that everyone who hates it is probably lame at parties. This is probably one of the best hyperpop albums there is. I really like the mix of various inluence as well. 8/10

I never was a fan or a hater of Bon Iver, I like some of his songs, but I thought this album was a chore to listen to. It tries so hard, but it misses the mark by a long shot. The production is terrible, the overuse of autotune is tiresome, most of the songs sound like they were composed and recorded in one sitting. I got to give him that he tried something different, but it just does not resonate with me at all. 3/10

From the get-go I thought this album started pretty strong. I was automatically hooked and was pleasantly surprised for a genre that I generally don't listen much. But the more the album went on, the more I thought it was the same and at the end I was glad it was over. Not a bad album at all and I can for sure see what the submitter hears in it, but I think it would have been better if it was a bit shorter. 7/10

Not a terrible album, but as I was listenning to it I was kind of forgetting it was even playing. It sounds like a lot of other albums of the same genre/period, but it lacks a bit of edge. A fun time, but not much else. 6/10

Not that this is a perfect album, but it is the kind of album that I was looking forward to by joining this site. Finally something that's not a typical US or UK rock album. Really great mix of rock and more traditionnal spanish influences. Was a fun ride. 8/10

Not by most enjoyed style of music, so I am biased here, but I still really enjoyed this album (which I guess means something about its quality). Production is impeccable. It has a variety of sounds that keeps it interesting. I still thought it was a bit too long. 7.5/10

I have to admit that there will be a huge bias on my end with that album. I don't think it is one of the best metal albums of all time, but it was an essential in my discovery of the whole genre. Still today, I think it is the best KE album and one of the top melodic metalcore/NWOAHM out there. 8/10

I have my reserve about this kind of indie rock. I think there was such a saturation of that style that I rapidly got bored with it. That being said, I totally understand the critical acclaim this album got. It has a nice dynamic range and the musicianship is great. I think the original list would have benefitted by having this album instead of a third Arcade Fire album. 7.5/10

I enjoyed this album, but not as much as the other FTM from the original list. I am not the biggest fan of that band, but I have a feeling the debate between the two albums is the equivalent of Ride the Lightening VS Master of Puppet. Still, they are one of the rare band that mixes rap and metal well. 7.5/10

Another album that while I didn't 100% enjoyed, I am still really glad I listened to it. I get why they have such a buzz in the brother lo-fi scene. Also really enjoyed the humour on the lyrics. 7/10

I don't know if it was the same elsewhere, but in Canada, you could not get away from her when the album dropped. Everytime you would turn on the radio, either "That Don't Impress Me Much" or "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" would be on the air. I think it really bored me of her. Unfortunately, listening to the whole album did not change my mind. The songs I already knew were still as ok as before and most of the deeper cuts didn't do much more. I just can't with that commercial mix of pop, country and rock. 3/10

Pas mon préféré de Bélanger, mais 4 étoiles juste pour avoir un album québécois de suggéré ! To any people outside from Quebec that liked this, I really recommend checking other records of his, especially "Les Insomniaques S'amusent" and "Quare Saisons Dans Le Désordre". Otherwise if you are curious about listening other local beloved artists check out Harmonium, Les Colocs or Les Cowboys Fringants.

My favourite album of all time. The only reason I did not submitted this album was that there were already other Pink Floyd albums, but I am so glad someone else choose it.
