1001 Albums Summary

First album on this list! Enjoyed hearing the guitars at different spots in the soundstage and being able to tell exactly where and how they interlocked. Sister Morphine is the standout for me.

Songwriting was interesting but not quite the range I was looking for.

not my usual cup of tea but they really said “land back” and i respect that

ELLA :]]]]]

very danceable!

forever a slut for paul simon

sludgy guitar rock was nice but nothing special— the more experimental electronic bits take it from a 3 to a 4 for me

initially i was like “men yelling over weird guitars. 2” but then i found out they were one of the first to do it in this way?

vroom vroom

literal king of pop

solid moody man music

this fucks

quality power ballad guitar stuff here

👾👾👾

HSB and the guitars in general are undeniable but i think maybe i just don’t like grunge that much???

standout: Cheapskate otherwise not super exciting?

SHREDS

jamming 😤

spark that bled was cool. overall not super into this one though

stage presence

a few real bangers here

so much better than it has any business being

banger

some classics

fine

eh

xylophone goes CRAZY here!!!!

shreds

this fucks

i mean come on

not my thing but i respect the artistry

fuck yeah

could not deal with the harmonica on this

points for ambition. probably won’t listen again for awhile though

I continue to be a slut for a tight harmony

I liked this way more than I thought I would—crazy good guitar work especially. I don’t know how widely sampled this was, but a few parts called to mind some more recent artists.

better than i remembered it. definitely gonna come back to this again and again

PG was apparently worried the long instrumentals would get boring, I think the long wacky lyrics are more of a concern. but everything else here is undeniable genius

heartbreaking!!!

shrug

once again good but not my thing

like springsteen with better guitar and worse writing

i’d do coke to this

no live recorded audience has ever been hornier

surprisingly fun

i can see why ppl like this but nothing really stuck out here

every song starts out super strong but goes on just a bit too long. edit!

sexiest album ever made

one of those albums that feels kind of meh but only because everyone else is standing on his shoulders

surprised at how much i enjoyed this— at least a dozen bands come to mind that borrowed from this one specifically too.

good but unremarkable

bangs

okay tim!

🆗 and…

fun!

lovely and strange!

great guitars

a few duds, but a few standouts too ("tusk", "storms", "beautiful child", "sisters of the moon"). appreciate that they really wanted to not make rumours all over again, though i think this is just a bit less successful.

gets better toward the middle but overall not that exciting

damn good guitar

ok and?

no standout moments but the hype is well deserved

???

oh wow a lot of people pulled from this.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so many bangers in so many different directions!

😵

i remember being OBSESSED with this as a kid, and now, despite appreciating the music more, i don’t like it quite as much? still good though

as a pseudo-angeleno I am contractually obligated to give 5 stars but actually this is too much fun

fun

decent! I liked “Metal Baby” for its goth gf yearning

surprisingly good

This had me tapping out polyrhythms at my desk for a few hours after I finished listening.

Charmingly weird with unsurprisingly great guitar

just keeps getting better

never been my thing, but their style is undeniable. last song is a real heartstring-ripper.

thrilling

I mean yeah

swings from heartrending meditations on old age to whatever the hell “at the zoo” is. I love my kings from queens

a classic, and the sound is undeniable. not sure I feel the lyrics as hard as critics seem to, but whatever. funk forever

when he’s not too far up his own ass, he’s a genius

astrud I love you always but this is a snoozefest

fine

these guys just never really do it for me

gorgeous gorgeous girls love gorgeous gorgeous guitar

surprised at how into this I was. first half better than second imo

riders on the storm is a perfect song, what a choice to end the album with it

fun but whatever

2nd fav beatles album I think. the songs just go places

nostalgia

undeniable

sure, why not weep on my walk to work

fun!

a folk album with several actual folk songs! british excellence

some fun drums I guess

I think I just can’t do morrissey sorry

astonishing

😭

grew on me

the guitar is impressive but eventually starts to feel gratuitous. edit! I will say for a live album the production is REALLY good.

🫨🫨🫨

nope

Shrug

Fun, but nothing showstopping.
