1001 Albums Summary

This is good fun electopop. Looks like I gave Kimono My House 3 stars so I might have to revisit that. 4/5

An easy 5 stars an old favourite, one that we have in our physical CD collection.

Wow, was not really sure what to expect here but pretty epic. The opening track kind of settles you in but then the combo of Kayleigh, Lavender, Bitter Suite esclate the experience. So many great moments on here, will definetely listen again.

Interesting the wikipedia article suggests listening to Animal first, not sure what difference it would have made. Reasonably enjoyable middle of the road indie rock. Can't remember which song had "let's solve our issues with a 4x2" but that's my fave.

Nah, really didn't dig this at all. The waterfalls riff is the highlight.

When the opener first started I thought "this is ok" but then it really kicked into gear and wow what an album. Faves: 125 MPH, The Charge, White Coats

Such a great variety, just a wonderful listen. I kpet picking favourites but then kept picking more, looking forward to a future playthrough.

Wow this is so great, such an epic record. Unfortunately not available on Spotify for me but keen to discover more.

Great choice, I like this band and this is a great album. Seasons is such a great opener, even A Dream of You and Me leaves me wanting more.

First listen I was like -- middle of the road jazz pop -- but I did start to warm to a bit on the second listen -- comfortable music.

This is great, love me a bit of sci-fi, and rap opera concept album! When I started playing the album I got a little way into the second track before getting pulled away to do something, while I was away I found myself humming Gorrilaz songs that these guys have collab'd on. Anyway, as I got back into the flow of the album I really started to enjoy it more and more. Faves: Virus (for the DOS mention), Upgrade, Positive Contact. I'm sure I'll find more with more rotations.

Part 2 of a trilogy, so something that might be worth further exploration. Highlights from this sessions All the Pretty Little Horsies/Horses, The BloodBells Chime.

I quite enjoyed this, looks like I had a listen to these guys back in 2007 so nice to revisit and dig into an album. I think I have a few more faves but for now Celebration Guns, Calendar Girl.

Looks like I gave the album, Next, on the 1001 list 3 stars. I found this a bit more engaging, quite dug the songs Snake Bite, and The Tale Of The Giant Stoneater.

There's so much to enjoy here, so much fun. One of those bands I've dabbled in and enjoyed spending time with today. Faves: So many but let's go with Gimme Chocolate!

It really is the show that makes this special, the music along is mediocre at best. Fave: Time Warp

Long been a fan of Mike Patton and have dived into Mr Bungle in the past so it was nice to revisit. So much to enjoy on this album, the whole feel and madness is so much fun. Faves: Sweet Charity, None of Them Knew They Were Robots, and many more.

Started out feeling a bit middle of the road indie rock but I started to warm to it more on the second listen. Faves: Staring Out the Window at Your Old Apartment, To Be a Ghost, June 21st

Arm's Length sounded really familiar, not sure where I've heard it before. Certianly another album that started growing on my after the second listen. And wow, an album from 2025! Fave: Arm's Length

Not sure I quite understand, ok prolific artist, maybe that makes it hard to choose, is this different to thier normal output. Anyway, didn't really grab me, just a few moments. Faves: Beautiful Girl, Clean Steve

Another curious one! Certainly Don't Marry Her caught my attention from the get go and piqued my interest. Have Fun, and Liars' Bar are also great.

What a great album, certainly looking forward to putting this on high rotation. So many faves: Grown-Ups, Amateur Rappers, Realists, Barbarians, Industrialists

Hmm, video game music. While I can appreciate this may be a great influence on someone, unless you are familiar with the games, the context is lost on me. Fave: Tast of an Angel

Certainly an album worth further explortation. Fave: Movie

Umm, yeah, it's ok.

Certainly a band that has been sprinkled throughout my play history and probably deserves further exploration but I didn't find this album particularly inspiring. Since it's almost Christmas, Fave: 12.23.95

Very Joy Division indeed. Winning is a great track and seems to be their most popular. Contact the Fact and a few others piqued my interest so putting this on the listen to again later list.
