1001 Albums Summary

A little Meh. There was nothing bad about the album, the tunes were pleasant enough but nothing inspired me to listen again. I found the vocals "whiney" on most tracks. Fine for background music

Hip hop is not really my thing but the album was interesting to listen to. Plenty of attitude and each track is punchy.

Classic rock album, from the very first sound of the bell to the last not, it rocks throughout. The are no weak tracks.

Nothing good to say, parts of the album sounded like a children's musical.

Good album, better than The Beatles' earlier stuff

I suppose this is OK for the genre, I found it a bit discordant - samples cut at the wrong point are uncomfortable to listen to.

Not bad as a debut, a bit dated now but still quite listenable

A bit boring really. Not sure why this is a "must listen" album. Perhaps it was more hard hitting 20 years ago?

Funny album. Quite hard to decide if I like it or not but it's fairly pleasant to listen to.

Good album, good tracks that keep the interest. I feel is loses it's way a little near the end but the first half is solid R&B

Great album, solid performance by the king, no weak tracks with great ones scattered through

A bit dated, so-so

Great, raw punk sound.

Meh! Not bad, not good, just background noise

Soul is not really my thing but this was pleasant, some good tracks, strong vocals

Musically great, some very good tracks the whole album flows well. However, I feel the whole thing is ruined by Morrissey's whiney vocals and inane lyrics. I couldn't see why the Smiths were popular at the time and still can't see it now.

Surprisingly good

Not my thing, background noise only

A pleasant album, a few tracks stand out. A good example of the genre

A bit strange, can't quite place the genre but pleasant enough to listen to

Great album

Awful

All sounds the same, boring

Absolute s***. Sounds like a bunch of preschool kids have broken into the music room. First album I didn't even finish. First album that gets 1* This album is nothing more than discordant noise.

Pretty middle of the road, nice if you like this kind of pop

Classic album, every track is good

Great album. Quite a distinctive style.

Nice, very "Rolling stones" A bit dated now but still listenable

Quite frankly, a bit whiney and boring. Nothing wrong with it as background music but it just drones on with nothing to catch my attention.

Great rock n roll It's a pity I heard the 2005 release which has the crowd cut back, lessening the live feel of the album but still rockin'

Naff I can't stand Nice Cave's voice, the only redeeming features of this album are the tracks where someone else sings. A few good cuts (ignoring the voice) but nothing special, won't listen again

Crap, that's all!

So so, not a bad album but I'm not sure why it's special Pleasant listening

What a great voice and good songs

OK album, not really my thing,

Quite pleasant piano playing

nice music, not a fan of the vocals but a reasonable album

A surprising find, Roxy music is before my time so I was only familiar with their later work. This album starts strongly, great first side - edgy and new sounds The second side really lets it down though, it seems to lose it's way a little side 1 = 4* but side 2 only 3*

Fantastic album. It starts with a phone ring and then punches straight into Hanging on the telephone. One of the best "intros" of any album. The album continues with a mix of punk and new wave, fast and slow. All in all, a very well put together album.

Ok

Not bad, not my favourite kinks album

Dismal' horrible vocals, whiney, found it difficult to listen to the whole album

Nice

A bit boring really. Prince has some real great stuff (Purple Rain for example) but I found this album just so-so.

Good album, keeps rockin' along Probably not my Favourite Bowie but good enough to listen to again

Whiney vocals, poor production, generally adolescent. Maybe an album for your teenage kids

Nice folk album, all good tracks.

OK I guess, didn't really do it for me Pretty standard example of the genre, not bad but not special

Meh! Pretty average folk album, nothing special Linda's voice is much better IMO than her husband making her tracks my favourite

A miserable effort, LH can't sing and the music is boring and dreary

Good enough

Nice, I always liked Rod Stewart and this album is partly RS, partly bluesy rock.

Surprisingly good, I'm not a jazz person normally but this album was pleasant to listen to. Rondo... and Take 5 are both great tracks

After yesterday's surprise jazz album I'm firmly back hating jazz This album is a complete waste of time

Good

Not my favourite Bowie album but good enough

Great voice, good album

Meh! Hip hop is really not my thing. Some is OK, this is average, nothing special at all

Really boring The first track is OK, but then it's just more of the same

Great debut, full of classic tracks

Same as usual, Bob can write songs but ruins them with his singing. And this album I don't even rate the songs....

Nice light album Nothing special IMO but easy to listen to

Good rock n roll

Nice

Boring derivative rubbish

Strangely soothing, albeit depressing at the same time. Not usually my taste but I found the album captivating

Pleasant album, not really ground breaking but easy enough to listen to

Good

Nice swing album The popular hits are great, some of the other tracks are a bit samey but still pleasant

Not great

Pretty boring folk, nothing good or bad about it

Quite pleasant rock album - easier to listen to than some of U2's other offerings

Excellent album, probably my favourite by The Pogues Each track is superb

Ok

Pleasant country stuff Nothing great but nice enough

A bit boring I found

OK, pleasant but really not my thing

I thought this was a little dull Not bad but nothing stood out

Nice, some good tracks

Ok, a good idea but a bit samey, not Metallica's best stuff A bit disappointing really as I was hoping for more

Music OK, lyrics OK, Totally ruined by Morrissey's crap voice Musically not as good as the queen is dead

Not bad

Good solid punk album. Some great tracks, some also rans Hangs together well

Meh, pretty boring, middle of the road, pop/rock Nothing to write home about (or listen to again)

Pleasant, some nice tracks, a few duds Could have used one or two slightly more upbeat tracks to lift it

Jolly Christmas collection, not the best I've heard (or the worst), nothing at all to make this one stand out

OK, resonable punk

A bit Meh!

Average

Nice, soothing R&B

Born to run - great track The rest - a bit boring

Very pleasant, 3 great singers and some good songs

Middle of the road, pleasant sounding but boring

Great album, a little dated but stick worth a listen Side one is great with some classic tracks Side two I felt loses it a little but still good - too short

A bit boring, I really don't like this vocal style

Not too bad, a bit pedestrian but listenable

Great album, even though pop isn't really my thing Some great tracks, whole thing fits together well Quite a step up for Robbie from Take That

Meh! A bit wishy washy, nothing bad as background music but I wouldn't listen to this unless I was in an elevator

What a great voice, lovely album

OK but a bit samey - It seemed to rumble along with no tracks standing out The one exception is "hurt" but I think this was done better my Johnny Cash

Quite good, a bit dated now and I'm personally not a big fan of the vocals but still a reasonable album

A bit weird, some different genres in there too Pleasant though

Awful Terrible voice, whiney songs, nothing at all good to say about this album

Not bad, I'm not a fan of the "shouty" tracks but there are some good cuts that any sung "properly" - heart shaped box, dumb, all apologies Not quite as good as Nevermind IMO but still a fine album

Not my thing

Fantastic album. No bad tracks, some great ones The album flows well and is a pleasure to listen to Still not bored after the 4th or 5th repeat

Shite Awful vocals, dismay tune Only the 2nd album I couldn't even listen to the end

Pretty lame Only one good song (higher ground) and I've heard many better covers of that

OK, a bit dated Probably as good as the beatles so-so stuff

Meh, standard rap type album, not bad, not especially good

Fantastic album, a classic Good structure, starts with a blast, some mellow tracks in the middle and ends on the haunting Hallowed... 40 years on and still one of the best

Not too bad, stands a few listens but not quite a 5 Has some great, well known tracks

Surprisingly good

Another classic album

Nice, great voice, a little pedestrian though

Ok but not great

A bit lame, not my cup of tea

nice pleasant 60s sound, some great tracks on there

Nice, pleasant soul music

Dreamy I didn't like it on the first listen but it grew on me. It is a bit samey though, nothing really stands out

nice, I like Abba and this album is more "mature" than some of their earlier work.

Good album. A nice mix of rock and folk. Not as punchy as LZ4 but well worth a listen

Very middle of the road, not good, not bad, just ok background music

Not my favourite Bowie album, a bit meh!

Some great tunes

Not really my thing but OK I guess

Surprisingly good, never heard of them before but itwas a good effort

Excellent, Queen are one of the best rock bands and this is one of the best Queen albums No bad tracks at all, several fantastic ones. The whole album swings to and fro with ease. It's a masterpiece

Dull!

Not really my thing, a few nice tracks

I'm not a big rap fan and this didn't seem like a good example of the genre Last couple of tracks were ok but I'd already lost interest by then

Excellent effort, plenty of classic tracks, raw power all the way through

Fantastic album The title track is awesome and deserves a 5 all by itself

Nice, a bit dated but the kinks are pretty timeless so still worth a listen

Hmm, a bit weird. A bit like the wall/Tommy but not really as good as either Ok I guess

I really can't stand this kind of music This is only the 2nd album I couldn't even listen to the end

Nice album, not sure why it's a "must listen" though

Boring I'm usually a fan of folk type stuff but this was just drab

Dull, slow plodding vocals that go nowhere. Nothing more than background music

Started good, unfortunately didn't get any better, or any different. Pretty much turned off halfway as it was just droning on with more of the same.

Drab! I really don't rate NC's vocals, and this album is just derivative drivel. No good songs, all just tat

Great rock n roll

Disappointing The album started strong with "1969" and "I wanna be your dog", it then just collapsed. "We will fall" is just awful and the album never really picks up after that

Meh, not really my kind of music and, IMO, not a good example of the genre It wasn't bad, just not good

Not sod bad, not my favourite Who album but listenable

Not bad, a bit samey but fun to listen to

Great album

An all time classic album, plenty of great tracks, no bad ones. Hangs together well

Not really my thing but OK, a bit drab (I know that's the point but...) All a bit samey

OK, pleasant but not really my thing

I think I need more LSD to find this album good Pity, I really like the later Pink Floyd (Dark side.., the Wall, etc) but this was just crap

Surprisingly good, never really got into these guys at the time but this album holds up fairly well. It starts strong although it got a bit non descript after the first few tracks

A bit Meh!

Not really my thing. Pleasant enough but nothing stands out. I couldn't pick any song out of a line up

Good album

First few tracks pleasant ambient music, the second side slightly less so and Hero (a track wikipedia claims is influential) is just crap! Not a great album IMO

so so, can't say it grabbed me. Nothing at all wrong with it but a little lack lustre. Pity as BB king is a fine musician

I'm not a big rap fan. This was just run of the mill sweary rap. Nothing good about it at all, background music at best.

Fair, nothing special but pleasant to listen to

Boring

shite!

I couldn't listen to half of this (due to spotify licensing?) What I heard was OK but not special

Surprisingly good, I didn't rate the darkness when they came out but in retrospect this is actually a fantastic album

Dull

|Not really my thing, nothing wrong with it but I wouldn't listen again

Interesting, not too bad

Pleasant but a bit boring, not really special

Great album, no bad tracks

Not bad at all, blues is not really my thing but this album was very "listenable" for a beginner

Not bad at all. I wasn't a fan when this first came out as this didn't fit with my tastes at the time. In retrospect, it sounds OK. A number of great tracks, Rent, and ..Sin and the rest fit in ok

Not my thing, ok but a bit samey and boring

Excellent album, no bad tracks, all just flows through. Ends on one of my favourite Who tracks (Don't get fooled again)

Great album, no bad tracks, all runs together nicely I can't believe I missed these guys first time around

Quite good, only one bad track and a few classics. It's- a bit mainstream but a good listen

Nice

No, sorry - can't do jazz Just noise

Fantastic debut album by one of the greatest hard rock bands. Starts strong with Prowler, a great riff. Slow down with Remember tomorrow before punching into Running free followed quickly by another classic track Phantom of the opera. A couple of "album tracks" follow before the great Charlotte and finale with the title track. A great album, well put together, it all flows smoothly. It was clear, with this album, in 1980 that Iron Maiden were going to be big.

Lovely album, flows well and no bad tracks.

Not really my thing but it sounds ok, a few good tracks and some duds

Not my thing Pleasant enough, nothing special IMO

OK, not really special but nice tunes

Great album, mostly good tracks

Pleasant but pretty dull, Dreamer is the only track that sticks in my head, the rest is just background

OK, not my favourite Elvis album

Err... what's the point of this album It's not bad, it's not good, it's not anything It is, almost literally, background noise. The soundtrack from a B movie, you wouldn't remember the movie and would be surprised to know it even had a sound track

Not my thing, pretty boring really

Nice. Very mainstream but a pleasant listen. Dreams is the best track IMO but the others are all good, if not brilliant

Fine thrash metal album. No bad tracks and runs together well.

A little samey. Easy enough to listen to but I doubt I'd listen twice

Meh! Sounds dated and, quite frankly, naff.

Boring

A bit samey, didn't really click with me. wouldn't listen again

OK, didn't do much for me but solid enough album

Nice musically, an improvement on The Smiths. As always, ruined by Morrissey's whiney voice and style. Replace him and it'd be 5 stars!

Not too bad, not at all my kind of music. I found it easy to listen to but not special

Not my thing, found it boring and naff. Not really rock, not really folk, not really anything I wanted to listen to

Not Metallica's best but a good album nonetheless. "One" is a classic and "Dyer's Eve" a flat out fret race. Metallica certainly experimented some after Lightning and Puppets, not especially to my taste but I salute their bravery.

Great album. Very strong start, fades a little from there but still good tracks

Fair. Probably easier to listen to than some rap Not my thing

Great album, some good rock hits and my favourite CCR track (Up around..)

Pleasant but not really my thing

Great as always, a bunch of Johnny Cash classics with some great tracks I didn't feel that the "live" part really added anything though, little atmosphere came across on the album

Meh! Fine as elevator music but I'm not sure why I would choose to listen to this, it's just background sound.

M'eh, nothing special

Not the best Beatles album IMO, there are a few good cuts but it jumps around a bit and no real coherence as an album.

Not great, I trudged through the double album, bearable but nothing to grab my attention

Great album, most tracks are good

Starts a bit dull but picks up. Not my kind of music, a bit dreary but OK to listen to

Good tracks, possibly one of RS's best. It's a bit dated though, maybe it's the 1960,s technology but it sounds drab and lack lustre. Still, worth a listen

nice album, not the kind of music that usually does it for my but easy to listen to (mostly) and fun. I think it loses it's way a little near the end, "Joy" being appalling noise which I barely managed to listen to all the way through

What a great album. The Stooges are new the me and a great find. I didn't find anything spectacular that stood out on this album, just 7 solid tracks. A pleasure to listen to

Not bad

Not my kind of music but this was good. Most tracks are good

Nice sounds but a bit whiney for my taste, this genre is not my cup of tea at all kd has a great voice and that carries the album to some extent but to me its just background music, good for a BBQ maybe?

Interesting, swings and roundabouts with some good tracks and some awful ones. The album feels a little disjointed and is more a collection of songs rather than a coherent unit.

Great album,

A bit pedestrian

Pleasant

Great tunes

Great album, not really my thing but easy to listen to

Not bad, didn't really pop for me but easy to listen to

A surprise win, missed this first time round but it's a pleasant album

Started strong but faded about half way. I really don't like the vocals and, other than the main single ("..dance floor..") nothing stood out at all

I'm sorry but I can't abide jazz I'm sure this is a good example but, uurgh!

Great album from a pure genius. This is not really my favourite genre of music but I still fgind it easy to listen to with some good tracks and some great ones

Great album from a pure genius. This is not really my favourite genre of music but I still fgind it easy to listen to with some good tracks and some great ones

Why? I can't say why this album is in here It's not bad, it's not good, it's just background noise

An interesting band, whilst this might be where they started I found it lesser than Toxicity. It's fair enough but no tracks stood out at all

Strange! Nothing wrong with the actual music, Isaac does a good job of the covers but only 4 tracks? and 10 mins of pointless waffle before "By the time..." Why would anyone want to listen to that?

Not bad, Dylan's a great songwriter (but awful singer). Like a rolling stone is the classic track from this album and the other cuts are fine, if not great All in all, a good effort

Great comeback album, hangs together well and all the tracks are good

Great album, I had the US version so missed some fo the cuts here.

Great man, great album. Unlike the previous "live from a jail" album, this one actually adds something to the tracks with the banter, etc. I do have to question why "San Quentin" was recorded twice back to back - there is little difference between the two and it seems a poor decision

Pleasant but I just don't dig jazz

Pretty middle of the road, not good or bad, just pop

Not at all my thing To me, just standard rap, nothing special

Great album, no bad tracks and all works well

Pleasant sounds, quite easy to listen to

Ugh! Dismay, dreary, depressing - I didn't even finish the album (only the 2nd time) Life is too short for this album

A bit dull

Jolly, easy listening

Fantastic album. No rocket science, nothing ground breaking, just solid rock done well. A little dated now but still stands up

A bit crap! I really don't like Nick Cave and this is just a dismal juvenile effort. It brings to mind a bunch of unwashed teenagers in their mom's basement

Hip hop not really my thing but run dmc are ok to listen to Seems a bit basic, little depth to the music. Only one song popped out "Like that" and I've heard better versions

A bit weird, not bad but nothing special

Not really my thing, a bit dull

Beautiful peaceful album

Hmm I've never been a fan of Syd Barret. The best thing that ever happened to Pink Floyd was his leaving. Whilst this album is slightly better than the early PF work, it's still weird and not to my taste at all. I would place it in the genre of "drug addled". Probably sounds better if you're as off your head as Syd must have been at the time.

OK, easy to listen to

Not my thing, not the worst I've heard

Great music

Interesting, a bit weird in places but generally OK. Pleasant to listen to

Great album, no bad tracks and a few great ones

A bit dull

Great album, EJ has never been an artist I've listened to even though he's always been there in the background. This is a great album that I wish I'd discover earlier

Another noise album Hard to find any musical merit in this one, sounds like teenagers in a garage playing with Dad's instruments.

Awful voice, musically not so bad but TW can't sing so ruins the whole album

Sweet but a bit boring I think

Ok, a bit middle of the road but easy to listen to

nice album

Ok but not really my thing

Good stuff, a real gem

Ok but not my thing I don't hate it but can't see why I'd choose to listen to this

Nice, good solid music, doesn't even sound dated

A bit meh, other than the single (Clint Eastwood), very little is memorable

OK

Great album

I can't say I really took to this album, other than the great title track, it is a bit off the wall and not to my taste

OK

Not too bad, nothing jumped out at me though

Great, raw punk sound

Surprisingly good, not what I would have normally listened to but very easy

Fun album

I'm not a fan of R&B and this was not a good example Lost another star for the pointless spoken work bits Music or political speech, .pick one!

Nice, easy listening

Great stuff

Surprisingly good, country's not really my thing but who doesn't like Dolly?

Nice rockin' album, JLL is great live It was a little short though, 22m is half what I expect from an album

Jolly album, a few great cuts

Nice, sweet sax music

Not bad, a bit dated but jolly music for the time

Sweet smooth sounds, very cool

Great stuff,

Sweet but a bit boring

Dreary and dull, difficult to listen to

Excellent album

Nice

Notreally my thing but pleasant enough

Whiney, crap, hated it

Hip hop is not my thing but this was listenable

Fantastic stuff, jaunty, fun and very easy to listen to

Good solid rock album

Meh, OK but a bit short (lots of reapeated tracks) and a bit dated

Great album, good solid pop

Dismal vocals ruin the whole album, otherwise the music is OK

Good solid rock album

A bit dated

Excellent stuff, not many of the "favourites" on this album but good solid madness

Ok

Not really a fan, a bit boring

Dull!

Boring nothing good on this double album at all

A little bit lame, none of the power and hard hitting songs of previous albums. Not bad just not good

What a waste of time, this album is awful, boring and IMO a poor example of the genre (which I don't really go for anyway)

Lovely album, easy to listen to

Disappointing, I really expected more from this. NS is a great artist but I found this album lacklustre and generally poor

Crap! - boring dreary rubbish, why is this even here

Interesting, very dated but nice to listen to

Fantastic, ABBA always hitthe mark and this is a great example of their work

Very disappointed School's out is a great anthem but I'm afraid the rest of the album is dull and uninspiring. There's nothing really bad, just nothing good A real shame

Crap! Childish shouty lyrics, what I would expect from a angsty teenager who would no doubt realize when they'd grown up, how immature they sounded. Musically poor and generally an unpleasant listen

Dated

Never really my thing but pleasant enough.

Good solid rock album

A bit so-so to be honest. This album may be a little more sophisticated that previous ones but lacks the power. Born To Run is full of great anthems and is just fun. I found this album to be just background music, fine during dinner or at a club while you're busy doing something else but I wouldn't listen to it for itself

Good album, great opening track Good solid rock although now a little dated

Not my thing, OK I guess but wouldn't listen again

OK

Not too bad, a bit middle of the road but listenable

Great metal album, from the melodic intro to the powerful last track. No bad tracks and some great ones

OK, not really my thing but good enough to listen to

A bit boring, nothing caught my attention at all, easy listening but no real point

Great album, a number of classic tracks and all very easy to listen to

A little dull

Quite surprising, a fun album with some good tracks Not my usual choice but I would listen again

Crap! I don't really like house, this was boring and pointless noise

Not my thing, nothing really stood out here

Great album, some good tracks and a few great ones The Pogues never dissappoint

A bit mainstream for me

Good debut, a bit of a mix but nothing bad - Solbury Hill is the best and good choice for the single

OK

strange but surprisingly OK

Great concept album

Great album, so many fanstastic tracks and some good covers Nothing bad at all on this album

Dull

Pleasant, strong start to the album but gets a little samey

A bit drab. I also found the recording quality poor, the sound was dull. Apart from PiP, the album was forgettable

OK but a bit boring

Not too bad, not really my thing but more listenable than much of this genre

Boring, not my thing and nothing to make me want to listen at all

Not at all my thing, a bit dull and repetetive. I don't really dig hip hop and this didn't seem to be a great example of the genre

Naff I really don't like the vocals and the music was just midde of the road Nothing to see here!

Good album, no classic tracks but solid

A little dissappointing, ok punk but nothing special

Surprisingly good, not usually my thing but a good example Got a bit samey after a strong start though

Surprisingly good. A little samey but some strong tunes.

Interesting In terms of an album to listen to, it was a bit distracting with the spoken track

Lovely sounds, very soothing

Good rock album, a bit shouty and gets a bit samey but good enough to listen to

Good solid 80s Rock, the released tracks are good and the fillers are OK AHA have a nice sound, very 80s but different enough to make them stand out

Good, solid punk. The starnglers are very much their own style.

yeah, yeah Not bad but nothing special

good

Boring

Strong start, faded a little towards the end but a solid rock album

Nothing special,

OK, some good tracks

Reasonable standard rock

Meh

Not my thing, ok I guess but nothing special

Ok, not very special though, just background music

OK

Not too bad, a fe good cuts

Yeah, not really my kind of music. Not bad I guess but nothing jumped out at me, nothing I'd listen to twice

Sweet sounds, not really my thing but easy to listen to

Nice background sounds but wouldn't listen again

Good solid thrash album, a great sound. Pantera really have taken over from Metallica when they "changed their sound" This album starts really strong but seems to lose its way a little, still good but not as punchy as the start

Pleasant enough but very dated, the album just screams 70s Some good cuts though and easy to listen to

Very disappointing. Vocal were like the Stranglers but the music was not as good. A bit shouty and generally poor. I wouldn't listen to this again

Pleasant enough but not my thing

Pleasant but a bit boring I found. Brim full.. is a great song but was so overplayed at the time of release that it irritates me still.

A bit dated, OK but nothing special I thought Track one was strong but album dwindled from there

Great album, stong throughout

Sweet album, some great tracks, very easy to listen to Marlene... is one of my favourites

Good blues album, plenty of good songs.

OK, good solid Rock/Pop

Good

Bloody awful! Nasty voice, lame songs, one of the few albums I couldn't listen all the way through

Good, polished album. some greate tracks. I feel it lost its way a little about halfway but the first half is cracking

Crap! I don't particularly like rap and I thought this was a poor example The whole albem sounded dull and lacklustre and a bit flat

Surprisingly OK

Jolly and easy to listen to

nice enough, a few classics, good listen

Ok, jolly, easy to listen to

OK, a bit dated

Didn't like it at all, it was droney and boring

Can't stand Jazz. There's nothing wrong with it except it's boring. this is probably a gcood example but I couldn't get to the end of the album it was so pointless

Pleasant, a few classics but a bit pedestrian. Some of the lyrics don't age well (homophobic references)

jolly enough, not my thing but I can see how, if you like this stuff, it's a good example of the genre

Good album, some classics and no bad tracks
