1001 Albums Summary

Didn't give it that close of a listen but generally it went hard

Every song is incredible and it’s 2 hours long. Sounds like it could’ve been made today. A masterpiece

A few bops, nothing particularly incredible but nothing too bad either

Dun dun dun dun WOOOAAAAAA WOOOUUUUA WOOOOEEEEEA WOOOUUUU *incoherent moans* A goddamn work of art this one is

Ice T knows what’s up in every way

On first listen I was going to give this a 2 because I was largely bored out of my mind by it. Then I heard the last/title track and loved it, so I thought I might have missed something on the rest of the album so I listened to it all the way through again but no turns out it’s mostly just boring

I want to like it more but it just didn’t hit right for me. There’s a lot of cool ideas in it, and I think it’s “objectively” a better album than I’m rating it as.

I'd give this a 4.5 if I were able. I could definitely see it getting to a 5 if I spend more time with it. Fiona Apple's voice and writing are both great, but the piano-blues-pop got just a little bit tired for me by the end of the album.

I had a bunch of notes but they’re gone. Basically I’m feeling a 4.5

I've listened to this album a ton before and it is so damn good. Herbie Hancock is a groovy, jazzy, funky, creative mastermind.

It’s good I’m just not getting as much out of it as I’d how to. It’s really like a high 3

Incredibly creative. Was really on the edge between a high 4 or a 5 for this one.

When people say Nashville Country, this is what I imagine (granted I have no idea if that’s accurate). It’s like pop country but when pop was rock.

Lou reed does it again the madman

There were a couple good songs but for the most part I found it pretty uninteresting and bland

I was real excited for this album cause I’ve heard some deerhunter before and really enjoyed it. It started off really strong (the first song is amazing) but fell off a bit as it went, although I still thought it was quite good for the most part

I love this album. Most of the songs are compelling and the style really suits Chris Martin’s surprisingly nice vocal range & the instrumentation of the other coldplaying boys. A number of the songs had a maximal thing going on, which I thought was very well done in terms of how the different layers all fit together. At this point, Chris Martin’s lyrics are a lot more up front and clear than Coldplay’s later stuff and there’s a lot less of the trying-to-be-poetic-but-really-not nonsense that is more common in the later Coldplay work. Aside from clocks and the title track I throughly enjoyed every song. Parachutes, this album, and Viva la Vida are, in my mostly uneducated opinion, Coldplay’s golden era. Unfortunately, they did some reverse alchemy and turned that gold into coal and then when they got bored of making coal they turned the coal into hot steamy dog poo. Truly a legendary fall off. Also Parachutes betta

What an adventure. You get both Kanye addressing the exploitation of black people by the entertainment industry and also Kanye just saying he’s god or talking about drug trips and sometimes they’re the same song.

It was ok.

Wop bop baloobop alop bam bam indeed Li’l Dicky.
