1001 Albums Summary

Definitely a classic

Definitely a good album, and it has a few fantastic songs, but some just feel like standard Neil Young fare

Surprised by this one. Not a huge arcade fire fan, but I hadn't listened to this one. While not exactly my cup of tea, I can see the hype.

Surprisingly good! Not a huge grunge fan but the songs varied enough where it was enjoyable to listen to the whole album. Black hole sun Surprisingly isn't the best song either. Superunknown is a blast. And I don't think there is a bad track on this thing. Spoonman is probably my least favorite, but not a skip. Only not rating it a 5 because it didn't really surprise me in any way. It's a really good grunge album, better than I thought it would be. But still not transcendent out of its genre, like Smashing Pumpkins or exploratory like Violent Femmes, (which isn't grunge but they live in the same neighborhood of grunge)

Really good. Somehow never heard this before. Makes me want to retroactively rate a couple of 4s I gave into 3s.

Wow, this is so in my wheelhouse I'm surprised this album wasn't ever reccomended to me. I think I ended up putting half the songs on a playlist

A fun post punk album. It is clear to see where Nick Cave has come from, and I didn't even know this band existed.

A cute little album. Not a huge fan of a lot of the lyrics and vocals, and sometimes the melodies can be simple by today's standards, but really lush instrumentation and the occasional good song with lyrics saves this one.
