1001 Albums Summary

Band and backup singers carry this thing HARD! Joe does his best to keep up, but imagine Tina Turner singing these songs.

Started off slow, but patience pays off eventually with this one, some very cool, very dynamic parts.

To whoever submitted this gem - thank you for your service! Rock, funk and klezmer have never merged so seamlessly!

It's a Portishead album.

What the lead singer lacks in range, he makes up for in phlegm filled congestion, and the altruisticy to let his 11 year old write his lyrics. Bonus point for having Wilhem Defoe on the banjo (or whatever that instrument is).

The Garbage album that's already on the list is better, but this is still pretty good.

The comparisons to a poor-man's version of REM/Pearl Jam are apt.

Didn't hate it. She has a nice voice, melodies a little boring though.

Ticket Inspector is such a fucking bop. The rest of the songs are fast, rawkus and perfect to get fucked to!

Neither funny nor musically good, threw in the towel (with utmost contempt) after only 10 minutes.

Starts off very strong, loses steam towards the end, but never overstays it's welcome. Weaves seamlessly between soul, country and blues. Well worth your time!

I listened to this album a couple of hours ago, but didn't have a chance to write a review. To be honest, I have no recollection of any of the songs or the music as a whole, aside from the fact that it was painfully ordinary.

All the stale baby boomers hating on the gecs, but I bet if your precious Beatles were still around, they'd love this shit!

It's not a genre I'm very familiar with, but it was decently enjoyable from start to finish. Might be worth checking out his other albums.

Like playing hide and seek in the middle of a cold winter night with a pack of hungry wolves.

Singer sounds like Johnny Depp.

If you didn't grow up with this joke of a band in the late 90's, there's a slim chance it'll appeal to you, if you did grow up hearing this nonsense, do the world a favor and keep your miserable memories to yourself!

Every song is a gem, and the finale is so strong! Loved it!

Like a Spanish Gogol Bordello, not bad. Great energy, mediocre songwriting.

Lee Perry is without a doubt the biggest omission from the original list. From reggae to dub to dubstep to second wave ska, to countless electronic subgenres all trace their influences to this incredible mad genius.

Tiis is more for hard core grunge fans than the casual listener, but it does what it does well.

First song was fire but then it got real poppy real fast.

Well I gotta say I was honestly unprepared for this mish mash of metal, symphony and hyperpop. It is indeed like nothing I've heard before, and for that alone 4 stars are well deserved!

This has got to be a troll pick, right?

Music is good, but there is a something that sounds like a dying animal in the room next to the recording studio that the sound engineers should have probably put out of it's misery, or at least make sure it didn't get picked up by the recording.

Oh, yeah! Title track is like having my face buried in a Tony Montana sized pile of cocaine while a hooker eats caviar out of my ass crack.

No amount of slap bass can rescue this angsty shit fest.

Some of y'all really love the novelty stuff.

What a joy to see this on the list!

Music to eat cold oatmeal to.

A few songs are fun to dance to, but I think an album of Robyn songs only isn't really the listening experience I need in my life. Take out 2-3 good ones and throw them in the DJ mix.

Pseudo ethnic melodies with basic fruity loops produced beats. If the title doesn't tell you it's lame, let this review.

Stupid name for a band, but I have to admit, these guys put the "fun" into "funk". Completely unexpected discovery, thank you to whoever submitted this. Listened to the whole thing and the quality kept up for the entire duration, so a 5 it is!

More tension than when you go to the proctologist, and see your father in law.

The loaded cheese fries of music.

From Babymetal to this shit. Fuck off with the novelty metal already.

Solid hiphop, great guest features.

The gold standard for jazz bass guitar, but I like Weather Report better, those albums are more coherent and the compositions more interesting.

Probably as good as Christmas music is ever going to get, but it's still Christmas music. Thankfully this one put me to sleep rather than irritate the shit out of me.

Too quirky for it's own good. I'm glad someone enjoyed this in their university days, I too went through a phase where I was looking for anything idiosyncratic to liven up my dreary suburban existence, but this one ain't it. Once the rapping started I had to pull the plug.

More novelty music that also happens to be woefully behind the times.

Listening to this album made want to grow an ironic looking mustache, spend half of my salary on vintage t-shirts, put an ungodly amount of pomade in my hair and open an artisanal coffee shop to which I will commute every day on a penny-farthing. Luckily some Daddy Yankee came on next and I came to my senses.

Singles is as the title says - a great collection of singles, but the constant intensity of each song does not lend to the best album flow.

Remarkably unremarkable. Doesn't do enough to separate itself from other hardcore albums.

I hate Neil Young, and this was basically Neil Young for Gen Zs. Last song was good though.

Banger after banger after banger. Yes, they're overplayed, but who cares? Keep playing them!

More Disney soundtrack than Finnish folk.

THIS is the Daft Punk album that should have made the original list.

Their best album!

Easiest 5 I've ever given.

Skankalicious!

Starts of super strong, but fades towards the end. Now if "Awaken My Love" was here, that'd be a 5.

I wish I was around when this came out.. seems like such an amazing time to be alive.

Weird pseudo-religious pseudo-country.

Instrumentation: Innovative Mood: Folksy Songs: Ohia

After tirelessly drudging through 1089 albums of varying quality, triumphantly getting to the finish line, and earning a privilege of adding one (just one!) absolutely distinguished album to this list, one life-altering, paradigm shifting album, that you REALLY want others to hear... this is what you go with?

A very confident album title, but this one holds up.

Well... an album of sea shanties is an album for me.. Cause I'm out on the boat and I'm feelin' free.. But this freedom is fleeting and my heart can't forget.. That a pretty little lass is waiting at home for me.. *Fiddle Solo!*

Boring indie pop with the requisite whiny voiced lead singer. Why must I have been subjected to this?

Good to have something Portuguese on here, but this is just musically so painfully ordinary.

Solid grunge album, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wanted to go to their concert, but couldn't find the venue on the map.

Great! A 2025 album that sounds like Springsteen. Maybe I should be grateful it's not AI.

I don't know, it was fine, I guess, but completely unmemorable.

Fourteen songs about some people you couldn't care less about sung by an unmotivated college student and recorded on a 1997 motorola phone.

Fantastic! This is what I want to hear from this list! Thank you to the uploader!

HELLNAH

Surprisingly decent variety of songs and guest artists, but not clear what unifying element BV3K brings to the table. Unsurprisingly Eek-A-Mouse stole the show with this one. 4 stars purely for the enjoyment factor.

Grrrrrr.......

Sure it's some groovy jamming, but the overall thing is just kinda silly.

I liked the intense parts, note to check out more of their catalog.

A fantastically inoffensive, all around agreeable pop rock record.

C'mon now, this album is so hard! You get Bob Dylan with a better voice, you get the Black Keys 40 years earlier. Another egregious omission from the original list!

I'd say this is a great intro into trap music.

Some of the better assorted bleeps, bloops and bops you'll find out there.

Storytelling too straightforward, failed to make me care, melodies too bland, failed to keep me engaged, guitar playing pretty good though.

Some filler here, some formulaic stuff there, but hey, it's still Gaga!

Mid flows, insane production! Enjoyed it.

This is one of those where I really wished there was a comment section for the submitter to explain their choice, because this one has a lot of explaining to do!

Fascinating and at times suffocating, also had me checking that my headphones weren't broken.

Arca should be on the list, but surely there are like 5 full length albums better than this LP?

Oh! How quirky am I!

1 for originality, 2 for execution, will round up to very generous 2

There are singers whose voice is an aquired taste, and then there's Ozzy Osborn... threw in the towel on this one shortly after Crazy Train, the black magic trope or whatever he moans about can only be milked for so long.

Love this kind of dramatic techno pop, no weak songs on this one either

Sounds like a casserole of music. A bunch of metal leftovers, pop leftovers, mixed with god knows what and baked in a shallow pan at 350 degrees for too damn long.

Fantastic! As good as anything from the Pixies.

Un-fucking-compromising folk
