1001 Albums Summary

Heard it before?: only one song Enjoy it?: yeah, background filler for me but was very melancholic Favourite song: Track 1 - Chan Chan

Heard it before?: No, although I have heard ‘The Message’. I just never knew the artist Enjoy it?: Not particularly, I can get that it was good for its time and there are some catchy beats and flows but they are dragged out far too much which makes it tediously long considering no song comes under the 4 minute mark Favourite song: Track 4 - It’s a Shame

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I did, it had a lot of nicely blended things in the strong points for this album which for me is the start till the middle Favourite song: Track 2 - Expectations

Heard it before?: No, although I have heard ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ Enjoy it?: Definitely, it’s so uplifting and full of energy Favourite song: Track 3 - ‘Sweet Talkin’ Woman’

Heard it before?: No, although I have heard ‘Lovefool’ before Enjoy it?: Yes! The vocals compliment and lush the sound beyond what you would expect of an angelic voice with that perfect middle ground of it not being too soft for the genre but not being too aggressive, goes incredibly well with every song on this one. Favourite song: Track 2 - Been it (Track 7- Lovefool needs an honourable mention too).

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it? Yes, I definitely will be visiting this one again at some point (disclaimer: I only listened to the original track listing on the collectors addition as it bugs me for some reason when only special editions of albums are what you can find for streaming so I won’t consider the whole thing unless I came back to it in the future) Favourite song: Track 1 - Fisherman’s Blues

Heard it before?: No, but I have heard a couple of the tracks off here Enjoy it?: a bit meh to be honest so can’t say yes or no. exquisite guitar work and vocals as you would expect but nothing reached out and grabbed my attention Favourite song: Track 10 - Foxey Lady

Heard it before?: No but I have heard the two biggest songs from this album before Enjoy it?: Yes, I pretty much enjoyed it all apart from the last two tracks, very strong vocally and has aged rather well Favourite song: Track 1 - Shout

Heard it before?: yes, I think this is my 3rd listen Enjoy it?: yes! The songwriting and power in this is fantastic, a common theme with REM Favourite song: Track 6 - It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Heard it before?: Yes, this is my 2nd listen Enjoy it: Yes, it’s surprisingly relaxing and comforting for the genre? No harsh sounds at all, just nice beats and mixing and vibes Favourite song - (never any doubt) Track 9 - Groove Is In The Heart

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not for me personally, vocals and the sound experimentation is fine it just doesn’t appeal to me and ends up sounding lumpy and too overbearing Favourite song: Track 1 - When You Gonna Learn?

Heard it before? No Enjoy it?: Yes (to an extent) it’s starts well but just seems to end up with a lot of filler and random noises? I just don’t get it personally and it’s not for me Favourite song: Track 13 - Ramshackle (honourable mention for Track 1 - Devils Haircut)

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not at all, experimental music needs to grip you in some way special and this just doesn’t at all, it’s just noise to me personally Favourite song: None, don’t think I will be coming back to this again

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, felt like there was too much filler and very little soul in a such a short album Favourite song: Track 9 - Rambling’s Gonna Be the Death of Me

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, heartwarming and warm in sound, Will need to come back to this again at some point Favourite song: Track 14 - Hands on The Wheel

Heard it before?: YES! Probs about 20 times Enjoy it?: I adore this, I don’t like to give Morrissey any more credit than usual but The Smiths we’re special and this a is a special record, vibrant and punchy and vocally fantastic Favourite song: love every song here but would go with, Track 6 - Bigmouth Strikes Again

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: A few nice tracks with very solid vocals but overall just isn’t my cup of tea Favourite song: Track 9 - Trust Me

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I did, Dylan’s vocals and haunting guitar work complement this record well especially in the latter half of this one. I have to confess though I did not listen to Track 12 - Highlands as it was 16 minutes long so unless I’m being told multiple times I need to hear it, I have no interest of doing so. Favourite track: Track 11 - Can’t Wait

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I did, Stevie really did bring a whole new aura using back up singers to really emphasise his own powerful vocals and it’s just incredibly easy to listen to and enjoy, songwriting and sounds is elite as you’d expect Favourite song: Track 9 - He’s Misstra Know-It-All

Heard it before?: Yes, just once before Enjoy it?: Yes, feelings about Sinatra’s true talent Aside, his music is kept simple and his amazing voice undeniably makes for easy listening and enjoying the time of the genre without being there Favourite song: I don’t think there’s a bad song on here but I would go with, Track 6 - Old Devil Moon

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Definitely, it’s filled with great songwriting and that unmistakable 80’s feel and sound, the last track was rather odd though and was annoying Favourite song: Track 7 - Unsatisfied

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, it’s not necessarily bad, I just find it meh. Maybe too soon to say but I just don’t get Elvis Costello and I find his style of singing quite weird Favourite song: Track 7 - Goon Squad

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really but the latter half of the album was somewhat decent, the sound and features on this were pretty cool but just altogether isn’t for me Favourite song: Track 5 - A Fan’s Mail (Tron Song Suite II)

Heard it before?: Nope! Just the one song Enjoy it?: Definitely, it’s short but cuts deep, some elegant songwriting and piano in this Favourite song: Track 1 - Talkin’ Bout a Revolution

Heard it before?: Yes! Enjoy it?: I don’t like to give Morrissey any more credit than necessary but his music is very special, very peculiar songwriting but great nonetheless Favourite song: a LOT to choose from but Track 3 - Everyday is Like Sunday

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes I loved it, a long listing but doesn’t feel at all ling and blends together very nicely, a nice euphoric drive out in solitude would do this one justice Favourite song: a lot to choose from but, Track 14 - Streets Of Laredo

Heard it before?: No, but have heard a few songs Enjoy it?: Yes! The traces of synth and soft sound are angelic to this, very enjoyable from start to finish Favourite song: Track 2 - What Have I Done to Deserve This?

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Definitely! The most interesting record up to now, it’s got this lovely atmospheric tenderness to it and I could fully imagine this as the background of a silent movie (if that would work) delicate and provocative in the best way, even for a long run of an album Favourite song: Track 6 - Hjartaõ hamast (bamm bamm bamm)

Heard it before?: Yes, just the once Enjoy it?: Yeah it was okay, enjoyable beats and features but lyrically I wasn’t blown away or that impressed? One aspect I did really like was the phone call recordings which ended a few tracks, I’d rather have had them instead of a few tracks as interludes Favourite song: Track 4 -Drew Barrymore

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s a classic and there’s not much else to be said. I wouldn’t even class myself as a fan of oasis at all and I couldn’t care less about them or the history but this is a very very good record Favourite song: Track 10 - Morning Glory

Heard it before?: just the once but that was 10+ years ago Enjoy it?: I did in some aspects, I appreciate Metallica for what they are but I just don’t feel like songs need to be long for the entire run time of a project, I don’t mind long songs but they need substance and a sort of buildup or something to blow you away which is a hard thing to when your shortest track on an album is 5 minutes long, immaculate drums and guitar as ever but just loses a lot when you have songs running for so long they sound almost looped at points? Favourite song: Track 4 - One

Heard it before?: No but I’ve heard half of the songs on here from compilation albums Enjoy it?: Yes, you know what you’re getting with ABBA and there’s not much deeper to look in and think about, just easy general and enjoyable listening experience Favourite song: Track 2 - Dancing Queen

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yeah it’s decent and has a fun warm sound, My have to come back to this in the future Favourite song: Track 1 - Rip it Up

Heard it before?: No but have heard a few tracks already Enjoy it?: Yeah for what it is, this is just a bit of fun and something that can’t be taken seriously so in that regard it’s good, some good tracks and some that sound a bit silly because of vocals Favourite song: Track 5 - Lava

Heard it before: No Enjoy it?: Not really, it just came across very repetitive and flat to me. Can’t fault the guitar work in this but ultimately not for me Favourite song: Track 8 - Petit Metier

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yeah, enjoyable dad rock but not mind blowing Favourite song: Track 5 - United

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I really did, it has a lot going for it and manages to capture so many different sounds in a simple form, definitely an artist and a record I will be coming back too Favourite song: Track 3 - Andmoreagain

Heard it before?: Not in entirety but have heard a few tracks before Enjoy it?: Yeah, I love the raw sound of black keys and this record emphasises that, very catchy tracks and crafty drum work present on this Favourite song: a lot to choose from but it’s timeless. Track 4 - Howlin For You

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yeah it’s decent, quite a distinctive style and work of synths mixed with great vocals on a lot of tracks here Favourite song: Track 1 - Spellbound

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yes and no, i will say yes in the fact I respect bjork for what she has done for music but I just don’t understand the hype about her style, not a lot of it seems to match up or cohere but that could also be part of the charm? Maybe I need to listen again and to more of her work but I just don’t get it for now? Favourite song: Track 10 - Violently Happy

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, just doesn’t sound right and I don’t see the appeal in this, the vocals just sounds so off compared to the backing sound/instruments Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s got a wonderful mixture of power and indies of the 90’s aura to it, very enjoyable Favourite song: Track 10 - England

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Nah, very typical ambience jazz you wouldn’t pay attention to but notice in a restaurant or home ware store. Favourite track: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s got a nice and familiar feel. Very fitting for it’s time and easy to digest Favourite song: Track 17 - I’m Cramped

Heard it before?: Not in entirety but of course I’ve heard a few from this one Enjoy it: YES! It’s so unbelievably raw and the talent of each member is endless which all combined leaves you with one of the most important rock albums of all time, enjoyable and timeless Favourite song: so many to choose from but it will be, Track 3 - Nightrain

Heard it before?: No but have heard a few from this before Enjoy it?: Yes, the pacing of each song and vocals really compliment each other Favourite song: Track 1 - Immigrant Song

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yeah? As in it’s not awful. Just a bit meh and not exciting for me personally Favourite song: Track 4 - Run That Body Down

Heard it before?: no Enjoy it?: Yes, has a very soothing presence Favourite song: Track 3 - Be Sweet

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, for the genre this is my favourite style. Very soothing and comforting Favourite song: Track 3 - You Don’t Know What Love is

Heard it before?: I have Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s essential 90s and so wonderfully written and produced. Best use of animal noises you’ll ever hear in a sample Favourite song: Track 3 - I Want The One I Can’t Have

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, has a western cowboy kinda feel to it, a certain oomph of a redemption arc for the first part, mellows out towards the end Favourite song: Track 4 - A strange Boy

Heard it before?: Not in entirety but have heard a few from this Enjoy it?: yeah, it has something going for it at the start and it has a really nice theme that you feel attached too but that just fades for me after the track ‘city with no children’, still solid nonetheless Favourite track: Track 1 - The Suburbs

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: a little? Some nice indie elements on a few tracks but not ultimately something I’d actively seek out and listen to myself. Favourite song: Track 4 - Stork & Owl

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, I just found it meh. I get what kind of sound this is going for but I found the trumpets and backing elements for near enough all the songs really harsh on my ears and I couldn’t see what they added to each track Favourite song: Track 1 - Freddie’s Dead

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, beautiful piano work and such elegant song writing Favourite song: Track 4 - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes! I love the Blend of voice/speech sample with incredibly unique sound from this one, it’s the acceptable form of a long in duration album because it has something interesting about it Favourite song: Track 14 - Tennessee

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, I respect the group but this just doesn’t appeal to me over the length of an album personally, hits is a certain feeling and catchiness in certain songs but other than that, feels dragged out Favourite song: Track 6 - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Unless it’s in the ambience to fill silence I just don’t care for jazz so no Favourite song: Didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah I did, it’s very decent for it’s time and has a really nice and easy listen run of timeless pop here Favourite song: Track 5 - Born To Make You Happy

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: It’s ok, feels very lacklustre in content and feel, lyrics and songwriting are good but rarely seems to grab your attention which is disappointing given it’s short run time Favourite song: Track 9 - Maps

Heard it before?: Yes, just the once Enjoy it?: YES!!! It’s just absolutely fantastic from start to finish, lyrically not many come close to Swift. it’s cruel but I can’t give this a perfect score because ‘shake it off’ is just one of few of her songs I truly detest Favourite song: Track 10 - How You Get The Girl

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s rather decent, not a lasting presence but has really good varieties of blues Favourite song: Track 3 - The Nazz Are Blue

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s rather calming and endearing Favourite song: Track 3 - Cecilia

Heard it before: Just the once but that was the non platinum edition Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s something I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to or even describe as my regular taste but you cannot deny pure talent and immaculate production which Beyoncé never misses on, didn’t care for nearly any of the remixes on here but the bulk is fantastic. amazing samples and slowing down of tempo and pace to make such an easy listening pop classic Favourite song : Track 16 - Flawless (Remix with Nicki Minaj) (Honourable mentions to Partition, 7/11 and Haunted)

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, very elegant and enjoyable country. Quite unique for someone to perform in prisons so bonus points for that Favourite song: Track 1 - Wanted Man

*Disclaimer: I’m uneasy speaking too much about MJ so I’ll keep this and future reviews of his vague* Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: it’s meh Favourite song: Track 1 - Don’t Stop till You Get Enough

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah I do but I think I’m on my own when I say I find Kurt lyrically in some aspects quite dry/boring when he has the over the top droning of his vocals where you can’t make out what he is saying. I think he sounds far better when he sings clearly which he doesn’t do much on this Favourite song: Track 6 - Dumb

Heard it before?: yes Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s not what I was expecting, some interesting elements and an easy listen Favourite track: Track 11 - Paper Planes

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: had some interesting accoustic elements but it’s not something I see myself revisiting Favourite song: Track 6 - Who Do You Love Pt.2

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s okay, not groundbreaking or revelations but nice calming rock nonetheless Favourite song: Track 1 - Hotel California

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: for Jazz and solo it ain’t too bad but still remains background music for me Favourite song: Track 3 - Ye Ye De Smell(but ultimately it won’t be going on any playlist of mine)

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Not really, I don’t understand the theme or direction when you have like 35 minutes of filler with just amazing songs in between? Favourite song: Track 6 - Sabotage

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, not much range to style but easy enough to listen too Favourite song: Track 1 - Tutti Frutti

*Did not fully listen so come back to this* Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s alright, very nice transition from track to track and just ever classic lyrics and sounds Favourite song: Track 3 - Let me ride

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, a bit too somber and slow for me but quite nice atmosphere for a few tracks Favourite song: Track 9 - Lord Can You Hear Me

*I’ve heard this once before and I just can’t bring myself to go through it again, going to listen to his latest album as a substitution* Enjoy it: No, I just don’t get it at all and I hate that you have to be an intellectual to ‘get it’ Favourite song: None

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yes, it’s elegant has an incredibly smooth feeling to it, even the longer tracks on here flow perfectly Favourite song: Track 6 - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, could tolerate it at barely Audio level in a restaurant or something, not my cup of tea Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it was ok, had a charming feel to it and sounded alright Favourite song: Track 9 - My Back Pages

Heard it before?: No but I’ve heard pretty much every song on here from their original studio albums Enjoy it?: Yes, some obviously very talented musicians and good song writing but it really lacks in life depth I feel and just has a calmness I don’t really wanted when I listen to Nirvana Favourite live song: Track 9 - Something In The Way

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I loved it, it’s just everything you could want from your typical ‘dad rock’ easy listening and great riffs and tremendous vocals Favourite song: Track 4 - Love Bites

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, very elegant and sounds lovely and gentle Favourite song: Track 11 - Someone Like You

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, wasn’t at all was I expecting but a nice blend of grunge/early rock Favourite song: Track 4 - Delicious Demon

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s exactly within my niche taste of music I really appreciate. Kind of sounds as if Fiona Apple went experimental. Definitely need to revisit this one! Favourite song: Track 8 - Machine Gun

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s decent enjoyable dad rock Favourite song: Track 4 - Simple Man

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah vocally it’s superb but I thought the harmonica was a bit overkill Favourite song: Track 1 - Like A Rolling Stone

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, for a jazz/old time record I found it charming. Nice feel to it and the length of the record is perfect for someone not that big into the genre. Favourite song: Track 1 - The Girl From Ipanema

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s got a gritty feel to it, one you feel an instant connection to Favourite song: Track 6 - I Need Somebody

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I love it, you know what you’re getting with the smiths and they just never disappointed Favourite song: Track 8 - Paint A Vulgar Picture

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not at all, it just isn’t my taste at all really Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before: Yeah, I’ve heard most songs but not the record in entirety Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s hard to be critical of seasonal music that doesn’t age Favourite song: Track 11 (Darlene Love) - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, just not a fan of long instrumentals Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it had a nice Belen of everything and was entertaining for a decent length album Favourite song: Track 5 - 16 Shells From A 30.6

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah had a nice feel to it, not something I will personally revisit Favourite song: Track 3 - What I Don’t Know

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s just a timeless classic, gonna take a few more projects of his to listen to before I know just how good this is Favourite song: Track 1 - Blue Suede Shoes

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s faultless easy listening Favourite song: Track 2 - Mood Indigo

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s a charming one full of character and brings out the best of this genre for me so far! Favourite song: Track 3 - Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye)

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not really, very nice strong vocals but it’s not a genre I’m in too invested in with English vocals Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, the production and sound is too notch, a bit dreary in parts but ultimately very solid Favourite song: Track 1 - Being Boring

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s quite euphoric and powerful to start with and fades out quite wonderfully but wish that powerful feeling stuck out a bit longer Favourite song: Track 1 - The Old Gold Shoe

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not, really. Iconic band and sound so get a free pass but just not that interesting and engaging to me Favourite song: Track 9 - The March Of The Black Queen

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, just too slow and dreary (not in the good way) for me personally Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, for its long run, it’s really entertaining and full of energy from start to finish Favourite song: Track 11 - You Can Make It If You Try

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s decent, nothing mind-blowing but rather soothing and gentle which is always a welcome break Favourite song: Track 3 - Pleasant Street

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I can’t deny this is good, very solid and consistent flows and undeniably good wordplay and songwriting but not my cup of tea personally to say I enjoy this and would listen on my own accord Favourite song: Track 2 - My Name Is

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not really, it wasn’t awful I just can’t grasp music that isn’t classical having songs that are above 10 minutes Long Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, lyrical and vocal work is genius with slow backing tracks to emphasise this in parts, very laid back and enjoyable Favourite song: Track 1 - Push It Along

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: It’s not bad just not my thing Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it? : yeah, did have some decent parts which were soothing. Favourite song: Track 3 - Bewilder

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I don’t love it but it’s great! Exactly as charming as I remember Favourite song: Track 3 - Son Of A Preacher Man

*I’ll come back to this in the future because I just don’t have time for a 2 hour album at the moment* so I’m gonna listen to Otis’ album ‘The Dock Of The Bay’* Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s exactly what I imagine when people say they like music of the 60/70’s, full of charm and soul, brilliant backing and vocals to every track Favourite song: Track 11 - Old Man Trouble (near enough every song on her I like)

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s very solid throughout and uses interludes to perfection which to my mind no one does well apart from Kendrick and Kanye. Only thing I don’t like about Kendrick and this is me alone but sometimes his vocals sound god awful and it makes the song almost sound cringeworthy, I know I’m on my own there but that’s just something I can’t unhear Favourite song: Track 8 - m.A.A.d city

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not really, felt and sounded like just a lot of nothing really? Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: Yes, it’s one of my faves from the stones Enjoy it?: Yes, I’ve loved this one of theirs for a while, it’s perfectly timed and has a superb run of tracks with good pacing and range from one track to another Favourite song: Track 1 - Gimme Shelter

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, it’s short and sweet, plus you gotta love his vocals, spectacular even for a live performance Favourite song: Track 5 - Think

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah, just wish it kept the same vibe from the opening and seems to calm don rather quickly which makes it drag a little to the finish Favourite song: Track 1 - Like A Prayer

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, as I’ve said I don’t find Costello interesting vocally Favourite song: Track 12 - Waiting For The End Of The World

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, very dreary and monotonous Favourite song: Track 6 - Here I go

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s very dreamy and fulfilling. I’ll have to come back to this again as I couldn’t finish it fully without gaps but it was very good on initial thought Favourite song: Track 4 - Save Me A Place

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, I love the Beatles so I’m biased. not the greatest introduction of course but as a fan you enjoy near enough everything they do despite the drastic changes to their sound over the years! Favourite song: Track 7 - Please Mister Postman

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Some really decent elements but the runtime towards the end is ridiculous Favourite song: Track 4 - You Don’t Live Me

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, just classic British rock which delivers strongly across the board Favourite song: Track 9 - Oily Water

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, Some nice themes/messages that are conveyed through interludes but can’t help but feel with I’ve cube that once you’ve heard a couple of songs from this that you’ve heard them all? Favourite song: Track 7 - Turn Off The Radio

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not at all. Very repetitive and I almost stopped listening because of the constant use of ‘yeahhh boiii’ which almost became infuriating. I’m of course open to all their music and won’t judge harshly but yeah, very repetitive Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s really raw yet so delicate and smooth, beautiful across across the board but slows a down a bit quicker than I would have liked, still great though Favourite song: Track 5 - Vampire Blues

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No it’s ridiculously boring and not gonna be a difficult one to forget. Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, felt very understated and devoid Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was something they really fills the room and had a very calming presence Favourite song: Track 2 - Red Eyes

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not really just too somber and quiet for me Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah definitely, it’s one of the first albums I listened to as a child, just great rock all round and I’d rather entertaining from start to finish, just wish the tracks were separated and not conjoined? Favourite song: Track 3 - Holdiay/Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Some nice sounds at the start, just not my taste Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes! It has this weird hybrid of almost Beatles esque sound in some parts but mostly good old dad rock throughout, was exhilarating Favourite song: Track 1 - How D’You Ride?

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, sounded nice in parts but ultimately dull and just not for me Favourite song: Track 10 - I Wish

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s very progressive and just sounds very far ahead of its time, enjoyable from the get go Favourite song: Track 11 - I Miss You

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Meh it did sound nice in parts buts ultimately not my cup of tea Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, he has such soothing and melancholy sounds and vocals which brings the genre to life Favourite song: Track 7 - Decatur, or, Round of applause for your step-mother!

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Nope, not a lot to love about 30 minute ambience tracks Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s a very decent record and has some consistent but solid sound throughout Favourite song: Track 1 - Ether

Heard it before?:Yes Enjoy it?: Yes, very distinctive and unusual as ever, it’s why everybody loves her Favourite song; Track 7 - Night of The Swallow

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?; Yes, it’s aged tremendously and just has the feeling I haven’t gained from hearing something in the past, it must makes you feel like reliving adolescence Favourite song: Track 1 - Time to Pretend

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, was very distinctive as a project listen Favourite song: didn’t have one

Disclaimer: didn’t fully listen so will have to come back to this Enjoy it?: Not really, I can understand why people would though Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I actually did, wasn’t expecting too as much because instrumentals haven’t been my particular taste for a while but this is quite good! Favourite song: Track 2 - Oxygene, Pt.2

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, quite a decent record Favourite song: Track 6 - Nobody’s Fault

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah very fresh and textbook funk Favourite song: Track 1 - Good Times

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, not usually what I’m use to hearing from prince, very calming and fulfilling Favourite song: Track 14 - The Cross

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, some great riffs and stellar vocals Favourite song: Track 2 - Killer Queen

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yeah it was lovely, absolute clarity and such seduction in the vocals! Favourite song: Track 9 - Tears Don’t Care Who Cries Them

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, I’m just a fan of their warmer sound though Favourite song: Track 4 - Disney Girls

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I love this record, such a distinctively nice sound/style Favourite song: Track 4- Life on Mars?

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: some tracks for sure but I feel his whole ego comes out in the skits and they are embarrassing and lack any humour whatsoever Favourite song: Track 3 - Stan

Heard it before?: No but some of his tracks seem to appear on all of his work? Enjoy it?: Yeah, very easy listening and enjoyable for the drama and his use of samples and spoken word edits come across cool and relevant to what he wants to portray Favourite song: Track 6 - The Predator

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I did, some great work of synth in this Favourite song: some good tracks but wouldn’t listen to any casually so none

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Definitely, very strong across the board and has the best of Abba on this when you want to listen to the better less known tracks Favourite song: Track 13 - Under Attack

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Definitely, brings back so many memories and has aged like a fine malt Favourite song: Track 2 - Shoot to Thrill

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s alright, I find QOTSA rather lacklustre though considering that talent they possess with their members Favourite song: didn’t have one on this

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was decent, not a scratch on their other work though Favourite song: didn’t really have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, tremendous guitar work present throughout all of this Favourite song: Track 2 - Another Girl, Another Planet

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, lovely and blissful Favourite song: Track 3 - Ray of Light

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah! Some great accoustic and electric guitar solos on this Favourite song: Track 2 - Somebody To Love

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yes! It’s so beautiful and almost hugs you tight which isn’t something you experience much Favourite song: Track 3 - Heroes

*on listened up until track 10* Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, he’s a charming and brilliant vocalist, just a shame for me me personally that he needs the harmonica ever present in his production Favourite song: Track 9 - Most Likely Go Your Own Way (and I’ll Go Mine)

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was very melancholic at the start and had a a nice ambience throughout Favourite song: didn’t have one (Bjorks work for me is better as a full project than individual tracks)

Heard it before?: a few tracks but first time in entirety Enjoy it?: Yeah was good for most parts and important for genre but a lot felt like long filler Favourite song: Track 1 - Right Here Right Now

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: It’s not bad it’s just not my thing Favourite song: Track 13 - Black Maria

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was rather smooth Favourite song: Track 5 - My Old Friend The Blues

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s perfect background music, that’s how I feel is best to listen to classical as a genre

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah, it sounds odd but this would be the perfect album for a bbq. Most tracks just sound like summer anthems Favourite song: Track 7 - No Surrender

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: it was meh for me Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, just a bit too slow for my taste Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s long but some great wordplay and features throughout Favourite song: Track 24 - Three Bricks

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I did (not so much the deluxe version) it’s full to the brim of angelic vocals and snappy guitar work I adore Favourite song: Track 11 - Under The Bridge

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: i did but in general they are rather repetitive with flows and delivery so it becomes boring quickly Favourite song: Track 2 - It’s Tricky

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, some nice themes but not for me Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it was alright, would have preferred to listen to the original instead of collectors edition Favourite song: Track 1 - Kinky Afro

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it was really packed full of fulfilling vocals and guitar work, definitely worth revisiting Favourite song: Track 6 - Witch Hunt

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it was alright Favourite song: Track 4 - Ex Lion Tamer

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was really stylish and versatile for its time Favourite song: Track 4 - Sacrifice

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: yeah it was ok, a bit too quiet and slow in build up throughout though for me Favourite song: Track 6 - (They Long to Be) Close To You

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah, very enjoyable dad rock that packs punches galore Favourite song: Track 4 - Touch Too Much

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it was decent, not as hard hitting as I was expecting though Favourite song: Track 7 - She’s Always a Woman

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it was decent Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, prince is just legendary in every regard, even though this is something I couldn’t listen to casually, his talent and attention to detail is second to none Favourite song: Track 1 - 1999

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I love it, so consistently strong with punchy riffs and solos, has an insane track run from 1-6 but then slows down a bit but doesn’t take away from this beauty! Favourite song: Track 1 - Around The World

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s decent and distinctively a very UK soft rock record Favourite song: Track 1 - Girls & Boys

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not for me Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: yeah, it’s probably one of the only of his I do like, very nice backing to the tracks and cool effects Favourite song: Track 3 - The Beat

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was decent Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes! It was refreshing and packed with hits from start to finish. Exactly what I’d want from a soul record Favourite song: Track 8 - Supreme I Preme

Heard it before: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah, it has a very smooth feel and charm to it Favourite song: Track 2 - I’m Waiting For The Man

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s timeless and full of amazing tracks, it would be hard to find someone into hip-hop that would disagree Favourite song: Track 4 - The World Is Yours

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, I understand its significance to the time, genre and music as a whole but that doesn’t stop from finding this very repetitive and boring. It’s a first though for letting me hear sounds that were genuinely irritating on my ears Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, it’s not for me, I will just stick with their night fever era Favourite song: Track 7 - Trafalgar

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I will say the vocals and ambience were top notch but not for me in general Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really my thing, pretty smooth though Favourite song: Track 13 - Güero Canelo

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, can’t deny how beautiful he matches his vocals with his songwriting Favourite song: Track 13 - Suspicious Minds

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: It was ok, not very memorable Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: it was ok, just a bit too long for me Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was something a bit different. Favourite song: Track 9 - Oh, Maker

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, nice kind of jazzy Favourite song: Track 3 - Lonely Street

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Not really, some relaxing sounds but ultimately quite boring for me Favourite song: Track 1 - Green Onions

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it was decent, quite ballad orientated but not a bad thing Favourite song: Track 5 - Oh My Sweet Carolina

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s decent and has more of their progressive sound Favourite song: Track 3 - Velouria

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I loved it! So calm and melancholic, very dreamy and I could have this playing every Saturday morning Favourite song: Track 3 - It’s Too Late

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: it’s hard not to enjoy this one, quintessential indie record of the 21st century and for me, this is peak AM, solid run of tracks and their vast backing guitars/sounds Favourite song: Track 8 - Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured

Heard it before?: Yeah Enjoy it?: Not really my thing but this is decent, nice vocal effects throughout Favourite song. Track 3 - North American Scum

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, some og classics on here that have stood the test of time Favourite song: Track 2 - Can’t Hold us Down

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: It’s magnificent, every track just comes together and has its own unique power Favourite song: Track 7 - Never is a Promise

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I do, I skimmed through this as I’ve heard a few tracks previously but you can understand its significance in history and it’s a very easy listen Favourite song: Track 13 - Everything is Everything

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not my kind of thing Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: I did, it was calming and Elliott’s delivery is just flawless at times Favourite song: Track 14 - I’m Talkin

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, feels a bit weaker than what I love about him Favourite song: didn’t have one

Didn’t listen

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: it was ok, expected more but it was a bit bland for me Favourite song: Track 12 - Angry Chair

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I do, it was peak Kanye, strongest run of tracks upon this release and the features on this were insane and added so much to it Favourite song: Track 8 - Devil in A New Dress

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really, this transition/phase of music for her isn’t something very appealing to me Favourite song: Track 1 - Music

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: Yes, I’d really like this one, strong start and finish present here! Favourite song: Track 1 - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: not really my thing Favourite song: Track 10 - La Garange

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not so much at the start but the end was quite weird & charming Favourite song: Track 10 - Jc hates *******

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I love this one, not their best but still solid Favourite Song: Track 6 - Alone, Together

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I still love this one but it doesn’t quite hit as much as it first did, without a doubt though the strongest opening track I’ve ever heard coupled with the best finish to a closing track Favourite song: Track 1 - Only Shallow

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s decent and very strong vocally Favourite song: Track 5 - I can’t be satisfied

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: it was ok Favourite Track - didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: it was ok, started off very nicely but ultimately a bit slow to finish with Favourite song: Track 2 - Love at the Five & Dime

*didn’t listen as i had no time but did listen to an earlier record of his so will just rate 2 stars*

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: yes, nice range and progression, need to finish their discography to really judge this one Favourite song: Track 10 - No Surprises

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes, Stellar vocals aren’t the only thing that carries through, the tracks effortlessly compliment each other Favourite song: Track 10 - Words (Between the Lines of Age)

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: No, I find this one completely overrated, apart from having some of their more iconic and bigger tracks. There is nothing here that makes me want to to put this on a pedestal because every other public opinion is so favourable, very slow and boring. Favourite song: Track 1 - Wouldn’t it Be Nice

*didn’t listen as nearly all his work isn’t on Spotify*

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No it’s not my thing Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Not really my thing, started well which is disappointing Favourite song: Track 1 - I Love Your Lovin’ Ways

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, not for me Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: it’s hard not too, it’s not necessarily my go to listen for rap but biggie is just so effortless and so far ahead of his time, makes nearly everything he touches unique in its own way. Not my thing but I can understand why this gets the praise it does. Favourite song: Track 7 - One More Chance

Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I don’t mind it, I just find their other records far better and to more my taste Favourite song: Track 2 - only tomorrow

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, not my thing Favourite song: didn’t have one

Heard it before?: Yea Enjoy it?: I adore this masterpiece so easiest 5 ever and probably my first on here?
