1001 Albums Summary

An album stuck in 1 the 90's and seen as trashy now. You can see it's influence on modern hip hop.

It was okay to listen too, not going to make regular rotation

Nothing exceptional, sounded like background music for the most part.

Full of their hits. Fun little album

If i'de grown up around this I know I would have been a big fan. Can see their influence in many bands.

Staunchly 90's sound with no real standouts

Some very fun tunes across a short album

Not my style of music, very reminiscent of its time

A great introduction into driving bass lines of early rock

Fun tunes and lots of hits

Duran Duran, Pet shop Boys and many other early electronic acts all have influence here. Some strong tracks but nothing standing out too much

An iconic album no matter how you look at it. Some of the greatest hits from the Beatles

Had some Beatlesque moments and nice symphonic elements Solid concept piece and flows as an album

Nothing exciting here, I got all I needed from the cover

Such a beautiful sound that is as at home today as it was on release. I will be listening again

A quintessential 80's album that screams of an open window road trip. Some of his greatest hits on here

Coffee house music, relaxed and inoffensive

I've never really listened to Willie Nelson before and was pleasantly surprised. I expected to not hear much I would like but I was wrong

Great beats and holds up in the face of modern RnB and rap

An iconic album in Nirvana's offerings

Pleasant to listen to but not exciting

Brooding sort of album that was a fine listen but not amazing

Some great songs on here, and I can imagine at the time it was groundbreaking. But now it feels standard

The vocals sounded out of place, had some reminiscent sounds of KGLW Paper Mache Dream Balloon

Not a bad album but nothing exciting

I have fond memories of some of these songs but now the genre feels commercial

A beautiful album that holds true to its own sound

This isn't my style, I can appreciate it but I won't be listening again

Fun jazzy afro beats

Hardly realised I had it on

It's nor for me

Classic Arcade Fire sound, hits nicely, and not even one of their best albums

Some good songs

Self-indulgent noise

Fun sea shanty style

Some amazing songs in here and a great album overall

Brilliant album

Nice to hear in the background

Ow, my frickin ears

Too funky for its own good

Absolutely amazing album. I was warm going in and almost ended up in tears about a breakup I never had. The absolute pipes on this woman!

Amazing guitar work you can just vibe out to

Groovy little listen

Had a coffee shop background vibe, not something I'll jump back to anytime soon but didn't dislike

I feel like I've heard every song on this album but I don't think I have... Sounds like something that was on rotation on late nights when mum and dad danced in the lounge room

Made me realise Mariachi and Irish folk tunes are aren't too different

Such angry young men... But god damn do they know how to make a great track

Iconic album with a true 90s spirit

A lovely album full of rebellion and a singular sound

So many songs are what I think of when I hear Guns N' Roses

An excellent dive into some early Zeppelin

I enjoy the sound of the Pet Shop Boys, but I don't see what makes this album special

Pretty underwhelming. Not a huge fan of The Smiths to begin with

Strong debut album from a band mocking the idea of fame

It's no wonder this is an iconic album of the 90's that helped inform a subculture

Very strong album with some great songs on here. Something I never really listened to on release outside of the singles.

Cohesive and solid album. Nice to hear the band having fun between songs

Beautiful album that has such a clean improved rhythm

Sounded like I was listening to the late night DJ radio mix and simultaneously strolling down the beach in Ibiza

Fun but I don't really mind if I don't ever hear it again

A truly beautiful album only heightened by the loss of Jeff Buckley. I went in feeling a 4 having heard the album before but on a really focused listen it has some songs so undeniable you can't rate lower

I can't really hear what makes this so special. It's rock and it's fine

I didn't hate it, but it was background music to me...

Solid album from a band who knows their sound

Something about country heartbreak just hits different. I genuinely enjoyed this, the cheatin' and the heartbreak

I'm actually disappointed on my listen to this. I do like Queen but I feel like I was expecting more

A funky and heartfelt album from an absolute icon of music

Solid punk songs with fast riffs

It was fine but remarkably bland

Many of the hits here. Fun listening

I enjoyed the message on the second last song but overall not for me. Sounds like I'm sitting in a hipster bar drinking from old jars while this plays to loud to converse with friends

I didn't realise Marvin Gaye was such a religious man. Overall a remarkably generic album musically

A pleasant listen with a surprise hit I didn't realise was theirs

This was like living in a sexy, funky elevator bookended by some very smooth songs

A solid start to a successful career by the band. You can hear so many elements that made Black Sabbath and Ozzy a big star

Certainly felt of the time. I kept waiting to hear a song I knew as it sounded familiar

Feels like she was not convinced her style was going to work and layered in some eurobeats to hedge her bets

Maybe I missed what makes this special but it was pretty average. It's not really a 2 but it's not a 3 for me

A powerful album but didn't quite hit musically for me
