1001 Albums Summary

Cohesive stylistically, irreverent at times but it works

It was okay. Kinda felt like a bunch of songs full of choruses. Stylistically pretty interesting. Like Bowie but not Bowie and slightly worse and less creative. Didn't blow me away. Average!

Intimate with shocks of sound that jolt your ear in the best way possible. Dynamics were great. Really well done overall.

Pretty awesome soundscapes. Definitely someone I imagine Daft Punk would be inspired by. Interesting to think about how he did this with the limited technology of the time. Each part flowed into the next smoothly!

Classic nostalgia for me, my 14 year old self is headbanging. On a re-listen it's still quite good, but lacking a sense of progression to me. Stylistically cohesive but not necessarily progressing through any movement or dynamic shifts.

Was alright! I might like it more on a second listen. The sound I think is a bit dated, but not in a classic way. Maybe it’ll sound better in 2030. This sounds like the transition from MySpace to Facebook.

Really nice. Guitar focused so that immediately grabs my ear. I thought the whole album flowed well and blanketed the ear nicely.

Good beats, thoughtful lyrics. An era I have not explored enough of.

A classic for a reason

Delightful folk rock. So close to a 5 but it’ll have to be a 4

Some nice songs but a bit disconnected, confusing at times.

Great stuff! Really experimental guitar, great vocals. Didn’t quite key into any sort of story, but fantastic overall.

Lots of fun! Pretty interesting, at times a bit grating but I interpret that to be intentional.

Historically significant but didn't do much for me! Comparing it to Kanye's debut or even Jeru the Damaja's, there's a world of evolution. But gotta respect the ones who did it first. Interesting blend of 80s styles with the shred guitar on some tracks though.

Good but not great! Admittedly I was not the most focused while listening.

It was ok. A bit kitschy, but expected.

I never totally got into it stylistically. Fantastic vocal performance of course.

Cute! A classic Christmas album.

Interesting, but not that interesting.

Good stuff! :D

Easy listening! Smooth guitar, very comfy 60s-70s sound. Feels like it's been in plenty of movies.

Interesting! I really liked the more electronic tracks.

So fun! Very fresh sound. Interesting chord progressions and rhythm. Great intro into salsa music.

Really nice. A classic. Glad I got to hear some deeper bob marley cuts

Pretty bad. Dated both culturally and sonically. Not sure what value this album brings to the list. To me it’s very clearly made for commercial purposes.

Really an amazing live performance and recording. Loved the crowd interactions and involvement.

Wonderful, amazing vocal ability and impeccable flow. Cohesive through and through. Thoughtful, emotional. Bravo.

I like the direction it took! Not totally my sound though.

Pretty good! Not amazing.

Unpleasant

Just as good as my teenage angst remembers! It gets the nostalgia 5/5

Fantastic! I was hooked from the beginning, Moonchild was an out of body experience.

Great jazz!

Very nice! Not super dynamic but enjoyable listening.

A truly amazing album. Melodically interesting, beautiful lyrics. The mic is instrumental and lyrics based songs added for a fantastic range of sounds and vibes. Loved it

Wonderful. Beautiful voice and piano. 4 women really stuck out to me lyrically

Pretty meh. Couple songs were enjoyable but just wasn’t in the mood for something like this. Maybe if it were 1999 at a warehouse rave.

This song is hits front to back! Felt like I’d heard them all before. Unfortunately as an album it didn’t mesh super well for me

Went hard, but not extremely enjoyable. Cohesive for sure, vocals were a bit grating at times.

Well done but a bit fatiguing. Cool to hear the roots of a what is a very familiar sound

Eh!

Pretty damn good! Atmospheric, the connections between songs was well thought out.

Very novel sounds! Would be a 3 but it was just so damn interesting

I didn’t love it

Very nice :)

I liked the first album we heard from him more

I love his style, I’m a sucker for guitar, voice is very smooth. Perfectly executed. If this isn’t a 5 for me, I don’t know what is.

Loved it!

Standard ZZ Top

I enjoyed it more than I expected!

First song was the best, the rest were okay

So good

Pretty fun blend of styles

Verrrry good. MF DOOM-esque at points

Good

It is a live album

Pretty decent!

It was kinda annoying

Was good 90s hip hop, liked the anthrax track

Ehhhhh it was cool I guess

Yay, finally :)

I liked it!

Pretty standard deep purple

Really liked the sound they came up with. Very cohesive.

pretty classic

Goes hard

Really picked up towards the end!

There she goes again

Very interesting sound, confidently put together

Chill, good guitar. Nice voice.

I didn’t really like it

Nice

Amazing! Fallout 3 memories :)

Very good, remember that from my youth (i'm not 60)

Really nice sound they’re going for. Very cohesive. 7/10 but 4/5 here.

Real nice :)

Familiar, a bit dated.

I liked it!

Never heard of this band but apparently they’re big! Pretty good album, no big complaints besides I guess the bias towards the sort of crooning male singer that this list has.

Pretty interesting. I think I will like it more and more

Cool shoegaze

it was very good, such a slow burn and I wasn't sold at first but damn... as an album it's fantastic. So much better than any individual song

Love me some ccr!

Love some queen! Had only heard the hits though

Really good

Surprisingly beautiful

It’s okay

Very good!

Eh

Very good

Very good!

Bit of a chore, one song blended into the other.

Pretty nice...

Amazing I loved it :)

Good!!!
