1001 Albums Summary

Didnt understand a word but it was really good

This went from who is this guy? To this isn’t half bad, to that was a great album! Enjoyed the hell out of this

Great writer

No

Music was ok. The screeching not so much

Pretty generic

Autotune nonsense. Not sure why this would be here

Quite good.

Angry little edgelords should have learned from limp bizkit that saying fuck every other line doesn’t make an album.

Very good

Barely a 2.5 very generic sounding and I forgot how repetitive counting stars was. Annoying by the end

Excellent submission

First, this is not heavy metal by any means. Thats like calling Volbeat or Five Finger Dick Grabber metal. Not even close. This was very ballady. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t great either. There are some periods of good stuff here, but not enough to justify a double album worth. However, it is better than the 2 aforementioned not metal acts. Right in the middle, 2.5 close to a 3.

Way too long.

Never got the hype. Singer sounds so pop-like. Whiny, almost ballad-y. Music is ok, the Rev was a great drummer, but the singer kills it.

Why?

Really good.

Theres enough electronica on the original list, sure as shit don’t need more added

Way too long. Each song could have been trimmed by minutes. The screaming was quite annoying as well. Good music though, should have been an instrumental album

A little long, but very good.

Glad to see punk is still being represented, but this was nothing new. This has been done multiple times and much better.

*ASS. FTFY

Generic and boring.

Reminded me of something but not exactly sure what. Cake maybe? Staind? Anyway, not that great

3.5? Not bad at all

Meh. Barely a 3

Excellent submission. This is what user submissions are about. Does this deserve to be on the original list? Probably not. But highly listenable. The Bowie song made it, and kept it a 4.

I found this quite boring. Everyone talks about this band as amazing, but the singers voice made every song sound the same.

Started out so good, first 2 songs were great, then the ballad hit. Brought it down and it never recovered. Probably a 3, but could have been higher had they cut some fat.

I’ll give a 3 just because it was big at the time. “Just A Girl” hit the airwaves like a punch in the face. Then the radio got ahold of “Spiderwebs” and “Don’t Speak” and preceded to beat the dead horse with constant bombardment of replays. The album wasn’t that great, Gwen was better when she sang with Sublime, and this is highly overrated. 2.5 tops, but I’ll round up

Nothing I would seek out to listen to, or probably listen to again but this was pretty good

That voice got annoying real quick

Meh…….

Quite good. Didn’t understand it, not something I would seek out, but great voice. Nice submission

Almost a 4

👎

Great stuff

Not for me

Long but decent. Trim some of the fat on those early lengthy numbers. The cover was good, Steele was a great frontman.

Motherfucker, fucker, bitch and n**ger does not an album make. You need more than just cursing the same thing every verse. Barely a 2

Lame. High school girl drivel. Looked it up, featured multiple times in “The OC” show. Makes sense. No thanks

Way too long. Kept it from being a 4. Parts were good, much of it was slog. Not super impressed

Genius

Ok, I guess. Nothing spectacular. 2.5 but i’ll round up

Way too long of course, probably what kept it at a 2. It wasn’t that bad, but it also wasn’t that good.

A very weak 3. Should be 2.5

Not bad, but dragged on

This might be better than her debut

Never got these guys. If it wasn’t for 90’s teen comedies they would be non existent.

Is this Love Metal? Very ballad heavy, but really good ballads. Portnoy is incredible as usual. All around great band, good submission. 3.5, but will round up

One of the best things about this trip is albums like this. Would have never listened to this, didn’t know who she was, and probably won’t listen again as it isn’t my genre, but for just under 31 minutes yesterday, there was pure first time enjoyment of an exceptional album. Great submission

Early Rancid, excellent choice

Meh

Is this mumble rap? The hell is wrong with his voice? Beats are great but the voice kills it

My submission so of course it’s a 5. Holds a special place for me as 2 family members who have passed, (one recently) loved this with all their being and having the chance to add it here was something I couldn’t pass up. Love it, hate it, it doesn’t matter to me we all have different tastes but it will be on this list now as a remembrance to them from me. Oh and to the clown who gave it a 1 star and said it doesn’t belong here, there are multiple soundtracks in the book and the list, so pound sand. Open your mind just a smidgen and appreciate something good.

Who is that, Ron Burgundy? Jazz flute??? Not a bad submission at all, being serious. Slogged a little in parts, could have trimmed a little but overall, very enjoyable. Solid 4.

The hits were great. The rest, not so much

By the time I got to Steve, I was annoyed. Subpar

Not their best by any means. Barely a 3.

Repetitive ass. One in the main list was more than enough

Not my style at all but you cannot be a music fan and disregard her talent.

This was trolling right?

Excellent

Smooth

Exceptional yet forgettable. Felt like if Stephen King wrote an album. Well done, but insanely long winded. Only album I’ve heard that made me want to punch the artist for being pretentious.

Nice voice

Not bad

Pretty lame “supergroup”

Not his best, but still entertaining. 3.5

Wow that got annoying really quick.

Meh. Monotone gets old quick. Barely a 3. Thats generous.

Generic for the time. Barely and I mean barely a 3.

Way too long, and the second coming sure as hell ain’t happening in Texas. At least it was slightly better than Drive By Truckers 75 minute blowfest of Skynyrd.

Theres some good here, there’s a lot of trash here though. Big Daddy Kane is saving this from a 2.

Sounds like something the Beastie Boys would have sampled. Not bad

Good stuff. Nice and relaxing, didn’t understand a single word, but don’t think it was needed to appreciate this. Great submission

Length kept this from a 3.

So much more to this guy than “Blue on Black.” Great album, great submission.

I guess you could call that punk, but it wasn’t very good punk

Meh i guess

Good punk

Kind if annoying

Really? This is the second trolling album in the user submissions so far. Why waste an entry with something like this.

First off I can’t take anyones submission seriously who gives a 1 star to The Ramones, Rolling Stones, The Who. Hate classic rock all you want but if you’re doing this list and can’t see The Ramones contribution to music, then you probably shouldn’t be doing this list. Second you haven’t finished which is another reason for not taking it seriously. Third, judging by this submission, and your ratings, I’m not surprised you didn’t understand The Residents either. This album is a charitable 2.

The length could have kept this from being rated a 4, but the quality of this kept it a 4. Another example of artists not knowing when to trim the fat. These songs didn’t need to be 6 min long. But this was quite good regardless

The drumming steal this album. Good submission

Should have been on original list

Sounded like a bad sitcom story spoken to acoustic guitar. Just talking, rambling. Not sure why this is here. 2 would be generous

Not as good as debut but still solid

Smith still got it

Good stuff

Ok but they all sounded the same

Too much autotune.

There is nothing to separate this from any other similar sounding indie group

Nice voice

Started out good with the first track, then got really cheesy.

Nothing i would normally listen to, but this was really good

Their best, of course it’s a 5

This isn’t electronica, thankfully. When I got this I was curious. Never heard of him, checked the review page, saw electronica and got bummed. Theres too much on here as it is. Saw he’s Icelandic. Hopes went up some, maybe it will be like Bjork, Sigur Ros, etc. looked at the length, hopes went down, why so long? Short story longer, this was an exceptional entry. Iceland knows what’s up. Definitely not electronic though, maybe some influences. Great submission

Meh

Enough electronica!!! Stop

I just cant get into him

I dig NOFX, but an EP? One song? While its a great song, other NOFX albums could have been submitted here.

Interesting

Too long, some good mostly not. Her voice gets tiresome

Long. Sounded like most 80s pop

Nope. Too long

Got annoying after a bit
