1001 Albums Summary

i went into this album thinking that i didn’t like nirvana. i came out of this album only liking one song, which was a david bowie cover. just not my thing

i went into this album knowing absolutely nothing about REM but i enjoyed a lot of it!!

overall not my favorite style but Father and Son is an all time banger so that adds a star.

i am ashamed that it took me this long to listen to this album but it was very good. will need at least another listen

reminded me of the monkees just without that monkees spark

absolutely incredible. i had never heard of this man before last night but i liked almost every song on the album. the first album that i listened to here that made me search out more of the artist’s music

kinda weird, i bet they love cabaret

i mean it was good but a lot of the songs from that era sound very similar and you can only listen for so long.

i don’t love the AC/DC vocals but i mean this album is one of the most sold albums all time for a reason

it wasn’t bad, i just wouldn’t sit down and listen to techno

after the first minute of the album i thought i was gonna hate it but i didn’t! i think the vocals are the weakest part of this album and sometimes take away from some super cool things happening musically.

i mean it was okay, most songs would have been much better if it wasn’t cyndi lauper singing 😬

i mean this is one of 1001 albums to listen to before you die? really?

like it was good, it just wasn’t anything special in my opinion

fun album! sleigh ride lowkey was the easy best

probably as close as an album can get to 5 stars before reaching it. will listen to more at some point

i expected him to have a MUCH worse voice. overall pretty good

it was ok. he’s done much better stuff. it sounds like he got more personal in this album and unfortunately that didn’t translate well to good music

i didn’t love any specific songs but i can 100% see myself putting this album on in the car

i always thought of myself as a fleetwood mac hater because i don’t love stevie nicks’ voice but this wasn’t bad!

i think if bruce never sang in his raspy voice i would like his music much more

i mean i had fun with this album while i cleaned my room, it’s just not my favorite style.

i mean…. it was ok

not my cup of tea, couple listenable songs but not very good overall

it took a couple songs for me to get into it but i actually really enjoyed most of this album

cool!

they like to do this thing where they get a tight, quick groove going and then immediately stop it and slow it down for a vocal line. overall i expected it to be worse!!

outstanding. frank sinatra will always hit

simply put, i did not enjoy listening to this album at all.

there wasn’t many songs that i’d listen to on their own, but the album as one long project is very good

a couple complete bangers but just as many, if not more, tough listens

weird album, pretty good though

weird album filled with weird, mostly bad songs. love you is a banger though, wish it had a vacuum solo.

absolute banger tbh

actually a really fun album!! went in with low expectations but enjoyed a lot of the songs

i had never heard of elliot smith going into this which i thought was odd since this album came out in 2000. while listening i thought about how he gives off the vibe as an artist that died young and i was right. very good album though. some classic singer/songwriter type songs but then some that are almost pink floyd esque which was super cool!!

overall ok with a couple good songs. very listenable though!!

listening to the first song i thought i was going to LOVE this album but i didn’t. still good though!

some really good songs and a nice listen overall

not my cup of tea but i understand how people could like it

this was really disappointing i thought i was going to love this album but i didn’t even like it. just very boring to me and nothing real special about it

i had never heard of this band before but this album was super good!! will definitely be listening to some of the songs a lot more

i’ve never been the biggest beatles fan and this didn’t make me into one, but i was pleasantly surprised. not some of their best but some good songs on here

i mean it was fine, nothing really stood out though.

masterpiece

kinda weird but overall good! there were a couple songs where i liked parts but didn’t like the whole thing. some really cool horn parts

a little bit boring at times but overall really good

i went into this album thinking i didn’t like the blues and i came out of this album knowing i didn’t like the blues

pretty good!! kinda a mumford and sons/avett brothers/lumineers vibe

this album is so goddamn cool. unfortunately that doesn’t lead to all the songs being good but there are some good ones in there. very very cool overall though

i listened to an elliott smith album a little while ago in my 1001 album journey and loved it. i ended up listening to this album because i liked the other one so much so this was the first album here that i had already listened to!!! it’s highs aren’t as high as figure 8 but i think it’s better overall

kinda weird and out there at times but i generally enjoyed it.

a very interesting album, half rap half kind of spoken word over music. i can’t say i really enjoyed it but it also wasn’t bad

what a metal album should be

it’s not specifically bad but there’s just nothing really special about it. i actually liked a lot of the songs too but again it wasn’t anything special ig

a couple good songs and you can’t help but respect the sheer scope of the whole record but most of it just isn’t my cup of tea

wow. wow wow wow. i put on this album without knowing it was a film score and only realized it a couple songs in. it’s hauntingly beautiful. i can’t wait to watch the movie now. this album will stay with me.

not good not bad

pretty cool/out there techno album. i liked the orchestral stuff they threw in every once in a while

fine, nothing more nothing less

pretty forgettable but i liked the last couple songs

another just kinda bland cool album. good songs but nothing special about it. wouldn’t surprise me if this was revolutionary for it’s time though

very cool with the venturing into new and weird styles

i never would have even conceived that this was an album if not for this site which i think is really cool. it’s definitely not something i would listen to and i’m not even sure what it was. was it just a normal album or was it like a bollywood movie score? i wouldn’t be surprised if it was either.

pretty interesting

with an name like Oedipus Shmoedipus this album had high standards to live up to and it did it so well. absolutely crazy from start to finish. from truly uncomfortable techno/spoken word to melancholic piano led orchestral arrangements. crazy. so good

started off so strong with the weird long rock/orchestral song but then the rest of the album was just metal in french and I wasn't really a fan.

not shot these mf actually made this in 1973

better than the first radio head album i listened to!

generally speaking i don’t love old school rap but this wasn’t bad!!

after the first couple songs i thought i was gonna hate it but i didn’t, there were a couple good listens

catchy!

some of the music was cool but i didn’t love the voice and don’t speak the language so it didn’t do much for me

i didn’t love a lot of the songs on this album but it was so different from the other 2 byrds albums it makes it so much better

this was kinda just a polished version of what i assume Car Seat Headrest sounds like

really fucking good

really weird album. like 1/3 english, 1/3, instrumental, and 1/3 hindi. not really my thing

i mean it was better than elephant…

holy fuck easily the worst album i’ve listened to yet

overall very OK but 1 good song and i liked the spacey ending

i had no idea what type of music i was going into here but there were some absolute bangers

not a bad song on the whole album with some absolute bangers sprinkled in.

i was looking forward to this album but it just wasn’t really my thing. not bad though

this album shined when the lead singer wasn’t singing. and it was pretty damn good when he wasn’t

sounded like 1992

i mean it’s classic led zeppelin of course it’s gonna be good. rush still clears though

it’s a 53 minute album with only 4 songs on it, it’s bound to be pretty cool.

not totally my type of music but some good stuff

good vibes, okay songs

like it’s obviously not bad music in my personal opinion, it is just a little bit more dated than most other people seem to find it

not too shabby

big and fun!!

a bit too british for me. not outwardly awful though

simply a great album all the way through. heard some gorillaz in there every now and then. will definitely seek out more stuff by Michael Kiwanuka

i mean i’m sure it’s good for what it is but it’s a 2 hour long techno album. i’m not gonna enjoy just sitting down listening to it

it was ok, some songs had a rush-y vibe which was cool

no bad songs but no stand out good songs really either. i feel like this would be a good album to play at a dinner party

really good and cool with the mix of genres

eh it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t really especially good or anything.

good rock album through and through and a couple stand outs

something i’ve learned from listening to a bunch of new albums is that i don’t love techno. this album is no different but it’s a little better than the other ones i’ve heard so far

this album is a wonderfully fantastical journey of musical. it made me think of what an album written by kurt vonnegut would sound like. heavy recommend

eh not really my thing

overall pretty enjoyable listen but there weren’t any great songs or anything really special

i don’t love Zappa’s stuff when he’s singing but this album is mostly instrumental so i liked it a lot!!

i didn’t love her voice and that brought some pretty good songs down to okay songs which was unfortunate.

i mean it was fine as kind of background music while doing my homework but a lot of it sounded very similar. probably due to my not knowing the language though

it was kind of like primus with worse singing and worse music. very difficult listen.

Cinna funky as hell goddamn

pretty generic sounding for the 60s but that’s not a bad thing! very evident that it was made with a lot of heart too which was cool to listen to

I think disco MJ is my favorite MJ

reggae isn’t bad at a very specific time and place, usually at the beach. it is not very good sitting in a college dorm doing linear algebra work

everybody wants to rule the world is an all-time banger but i wasn’t expecting the rest of this album to be so good

it was a fine album and a nice listen but nothing stood out as something that i would want to listen to again

took me a couple songs to get into it but i liked a good amount of the second half. the only thing i knew about The Who before this was baba oreilly and this definitely wasn’t that

didn’t love it overall but some of the calmer ballads were good

bruce always hits can’t even lie

hot damn these cats were cooking!! my favorite part was when the audience started to riot

kinda gave me the vibes of a tone downed springsteen album. unfortunately i think a lot of the songs would have been much better with a different singer and different arrangements

pretty good!

i truly believe that Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, YYZ, and Limelight is one of, if not THE, best 4 song run in any album ever.

i never gave much to say about these 90s rap albums. most of them have a couple good songs and overall good listens

i really have no thoughts about this album. it was pretty good but i have already forgotten it

eh not awful but i just don’t like heavy metal

very bri-ish

heads will roll is an all time banger and the rest of the album is pretty good too

a couple good songs, a couple bad songs, and a lot of okay songs. i didn’t like when everything was super distorted

a lot of the songs sounded very Sparks-y but not in a bad way. definitely didn’t sound like it was made in 1974

this album has NO business being on this list but there were a couple catchy songs

extremely randy newman sounding, wasn’t expecting the slurs

some cool, catchy songs. this is one of those albums i never would have listened to if not for this site

thoroughly enjoyable listen. my favorite songs were the more classic big band jazz numbers but every song was pretty good

i listened to this album ≈ a year ago and truly didn’t like it at all but i mostly enjoyed it today. interesting how that happens, i wonder if it’s partly due to this website/project

overall fun dance album with some different, interesting electronic songs at the end. fun to run to

pretty confident in saying that this is my favorite rap album i’ve ever listened to

cool folksy-psychedelic album

a little bit boring if i’m being honest but that long instrumental at the end was kinda cool

the music was good the voice was just annoying at times, very scratchy

they have a sound and they stick to it. it’s not a bad sound though so the album works. my favorite song (This Is The House) was the one that strayed from the sound a little bit though, very bass led and cool horns

pretty damn close to a 5 star album. didn’t love the second half as much as the first which is why it’s a 4. through this website and this guy and elliott smith i’ve learned to appreciate the slower, male solo work more

i am glad that music like this exists and people like it but i did not

after the first track - bathtub - i was nervous but it was enjoyable overall

each song starts with about ≈5 seconds of interesting instrumental and then immediately gets ruined by gollum screaming over it. easily one of the worst albums i’ve listened to

solid pop album through and through with one REALLY good song (Till Death Do Us Part)

enjoyable and important album

obviously very good but nothing stood out so a solid 4

fucking love old big band music

kind of dull at times but much more interesting than i was expecting it to be

not very good but easily better than any of the white stripes albums i’ve heard

we got the beat is pretty close to an all time banger. there were a couple songs that kind of gave Blondie vibes.

i feel like the early Aquabats loved this shit

this album answers the question: what if phil collins was good?

jump is obviously an all time banger and the rest of the album is pretty much as good

fine! Where is my Mind got big on tik tok for good reason.

didn’t like his voice which made it not great overall. the vibe was there though

way better than i was expecting it to be given the name of the band

pretty good but nothing special

some not great songs but also some genuine bangers

2 out of the best 1001 albums of all time are by the pixies??? ok sure

idk what i’m not hearing that everyone else is but i just can’t get on board with Nirvana.

when i saw that i was going to listen to a Moby album i assumed it was all going to be techno. it ended up being basically everything but straight up techno. some very very good songs

good but, as with most of the older rap i’ve gotten on here, nothing special

everything about it. the songs. the commentary. the story. amazing

pretty cool!

i’m a sucker for these nostalgia ridden albums. bittersweet symphony is close to an all time banger lowkey

it was fine. i feel like she uses a little vibrato literally all the time which is annoying. i bet molly tuttle is a big dolly parton fan

really cool instrumentals throughout but i didn’t love her voice

this was i think the third nirvana album i’ve listened to and it’s definitely the best. i didn’t really like the other two at all but this one had some redeeming qualities.

couldn’t follow the story but starman is an all time banger

pretty cool, not sure it deserved to be on this list. highlight was definitely the 16 minute drum solo

to be honest this was a really boring album. nothing really special about it and pretty dated sounding for only coming out in 1998

as good as you would think

the entire album is just this guy jack elliot doing smothers brothers-esque songs until Dink’s Song which is a slow, big band jazz song with a female singer. i don’t know why

really good. i hope there’s more albums like this on here

pretty cool! kind of a range of genres

i can’t say that i liked it but i definitely liked it more than i thought i would. every once in a while a little primus would shine through, especially on 6” Gold Blade, which was cool

as good as everyone says

I had listened to The Suburbs on a recommendation before listening to this and really liked it so i was hopeful. it’s definitely not as good but there are some really great moments, the best of which comes at the end of Crown of Love with the switch from 6/8 to disco 4/4

i mean similar to the other old school rap albums i’ve heard on here, good but nothing super special. i guess i’d never actually heard 2Pac before but i wasn’t expecting his voice to be that low?

extremely good album. stand out bass and piano playing. really cool use of the flute as well. truly a shame it’s not on spotify because i would definitely revisit some tracks

Roundabout is an all time banger and the rest of the album is pretty good too. I wish i liked the vocals as much as Rush

can’t say i liked it but i liked it WAY more than i was expecting to following the first track

Joni Mitchell WISHES she could be Dusty Springfield. very pleasant listen

i understand that this is literally one of the most important albums of all time. and for that i am glad that i listened to it. but there are very few songs on here that i thought were good enough to listen to again. i just don’t get why it’s thought of as being so good. Here Comes the Sun is an all time banger though

overstayed it’s welcome a bit but overall average to good songs!

pretty good. no standouts besides the first instrumental. cool for an album like this to even have instrumental tracks

it’s a talking heads album of course it’s gonna be good

crazy how this is literally way better than Abbey Road

not bad, thought it was gonna be more grungey and glad it wasn’t! the singer sounds like the guy from Blues Traveler

one of the view albums on this list that i had listened to before. i rated it a 9/10 last time and i’d probably go with a 9.5 this time. crazy consistency with some all time bangers

i love when they have film scores on this list. this one was exceptionally funky

idek what type of music this was. maybe experimental techno? idk not my thing

the fact that this isn’t even thought of as their best album just shows how incredible Pink Floyd really is

every other song on this album is 8+ minutes long and super cool. the other songs were fine, not bad by any means

idk nothing special tbh

idk not great, a couple okay songs but really not my thing

pretty weird album to be honest. kind of a mix between prog rock and pop. prog pop if you will

the best songs were the ones with no effects on the vocals, unfortunately there were only like 2 of those.

maybe it’s just because the album cover kinda looks like that girl with her hat but this album feels like it could exist in the original 1982 Blade Runner world. obviously not in the story we see but i feel like it could exist in a lighter story set in the same universe. idk

an extremely cool album. sounds pretty timeless too

a thoroughly exhausting album to listen to. depressing song after depressing song and most of them not even very good. the reason i’m giving it a 3 star rating is because i have to appreciate making a 3 hour long album of 69 love songs. every once in a while there’s a really good song too which made it kinda seem like a needle in a haystack type thing. definitely interesting how the vast majority of songs are on the sad side. but that’s what love is. right? for every happy ending, there are 50 sad endings. idk i have complicated feelings on love as a whole which made this album even more interesting to listen to.

better than i was expecting! overall what i imagined the smashing pumpkins to sound like but some good songs in there

kind of sounds like if you combined The Monkees, Simon, Garfunkel, and Bob Dylan

holy shit this entire album just sounded like a parody making fun of british rap. absolutely terrible. the only okay song was Dry Your Eyes because at least that one had a singing chorus. i’m not anti-rap by any means but apparently i’m anti british rap

no stand out songs but a good album through and through

I’m Not Your Stepping Stone always sounded a little out of place in the Monkees discography but i never thought about how it could be a cover. cool to hear the original

i bet Kat Stratford loved this album

idk it’s fine. i think after playing 2 (3?) al green songs in jazz band this year i’m a little fatigued. it’s also just kinda bland

first couple songs were okay but i got into it. kind of Charge! aquabats vibes

when it comes to any sort of art there are two type of weird: good weird and bad weird. this album was a fat chunk of good weird with some bad thrown in for good measure. i bet les claypool likes this album

we need more of this weird shit on here!!! mostly good, some got a little out there for me but overall a great listen.

i mean yeah as good as everyone says it is

Good! didn’t know anything about U2 music wise but it was pleasantly good!

idk fine i guess. i’ll never think about this album again

this was good! bass was probably the MVP of the album. probably won’t revisit any tracks though

there are some bits where he settles into a melody for 2/3 minutes at a time and it’s some of the best music out there

this was weird but not too weird. also it was the good weird

some cool ideas music wise. nothing special overall though

i feel like this was a weird album to be on the list. it’s not bad my any means and i liked the baritone sax usage but who sees a list of 1000 important albums and thinks that the 2013 Bowie album deserves a spot?

liked it more than i expected to!

fine, a good car listen

i assumed that i didn’t like Björk and this album unfortunately confirmed my theory

banger after banger

really fucking good debut album

this is such a weird album. one of the best songs of all time, a bunch of slow acoustic songs, a song from the POV of an incel, a song about a guy literally in a war, Babylon??

great listen. i didn’t know eruption like wasn’t an actual song though

this was really good. the beat changes and her ability to nail the vocal switches over them were SO good

this entire album was just me not liking the songs at the beginning but then coming around at the end. not his best but still very good

this might have been the first 90s rap album on here that i liked more than just it being good! a couple really good songs and overall enjoyable album

extremely good! can hear the energy the whole time

super cool. some songs gave the same vibe as a slow Springsteen song

as a piece of art this album is definitely a 5/5. but as music it’s like a 2. i just don’t like his voice and it’s hard to get around that. so i’m gonna give it a 4 but i will basically never listen to any of these songs again

crazy how much better this is than Abbey Road

whenever i think Earth, Wind & Fire i think disco. and they are pretty great at disco but they’re more than that too as this album shows. very good

a times a chore to get through. just not my thing. Think (Let Tomorrow Be) was pretty good

not bad. a little boring but that’s to be expected with these guys

i don’t love queen but they are always a good time

extremely tiresome. picked up halfway through with the addition of the full band but man 90 minutes of Bob Dylan is just not the vibe

idk what it is about 90s rap that just doesn’t do it for me. maybe the beats? it was a good listen but just good nothing special. gangsta’s fairy tale 2 was very funny

there are some flashes of greatness, the middle of CYHNK and the end of Moonlight Mile. when they got kinda psychedelic and out there. wish they leaned more into it

i mean it’s an hour long techno album it’s gonna get a little boring. the last 2 songs were my favorites though so definitely worth the listen!

one thing that i wasn’t expecting from this album was a 9 minute song but i’m so glad it was here. a couple standouts and no bad songs

vibes absolutely off the chart. production made everything sound so smooth it was crazy

there were some bright spots but they were few and far between. a lot of songs that i really had to force myself to listen through

music was good but vocals were just annoying

fine. not really anything special overall. My Mind Spray was the one stand out song

for their most famous song being on this album it’s pretty weird

easily one of the best albums i’ve listened to from this website. makes you feel like the main character in 2000s coming of age movie. bits of Sufjan Stevens, Gorillaz, Arcade Fire, and The Aquabats all coming together wonderfully

really just a group of guys jamming for 35 minutes. goes hard

with such a cool album title i was ready for some cool music. i did not get it. not bad by any means but very fine

Beach House is great at creating these atmospheric songs. i feel like the album is best listened to on a dark, rainy day. it is neither dark nor rainy today but it was still a great listen

i basically have the same sentiments for all 90s/early 2000s rap albums i get on here. they’re fine. not bad by any means but really never anything special. rather just listen to TPAB again

idk why but i thought christina aguilera was a pop artist. it was good but nothing really special. a little long

the only thing i know about U2 is that their album was preloaded on the first iphone or something like that. this was pretty good though!

Beyoncé is obviously one of the biggest artists right now, maybe ever. i never completely understood why she was SO big though and this didn’t really clear anything up. obviously not bad at all but it really wasn’t anything special. i think i might have even liked the remixes at the end better than the original songs

really fun album. great energy all the way through

music that i didn’t really love and lyrics in a language i don’t really understand. not my thing

better than i was expecting having only heard 505!!

i feel like i never love all the songs on Arcade Fire albums but i always really like the album as a whole

this is a CRAZY entry to this list. an 80 minute instrumental album where the main focus is bongos. it goes so hard though

i actually liked this album way more than Licensed to Ill. the instrumental tracks were a surprise but i enjoyed them more than i would have expected to

pretty much what you expect it to be. enjoyable listen though!

i mean it’s a classic for a reason. multiple great songs

Karma Chameleon is an all time banger and the rest of the songs held up pretty well too

thought i was gonna like it more than i did unfortunately. a couple good songs though, purple rain as a song is kinda overrated IMO

if the entire album was like the last 4 minutes of Black Screen it would have been a way better album.

not bad as background music but i bet i will never listen to think about this album ever again

lowkey really good gym album. there weren’t any big stand out songs but just really solid all the way through

not bad by any means but i think violator was definitely better

really and truly liked this album. it was just on the verge of being too punk/grunge but they really delve deeper into rock than their name/lyrics would imply

pretty cool as expected. thought i was gonna like it a little bit more but still very good

good overall and a couple stand outs

if Eminem’s voice wasn’t so goddamn annoying i think i’d actually be a big fan

probably the best GD studio album. an absolute classic

pretty good. sometimes has a less harsh primus vibe

really good vibes throughout tbh. some fresh prince theme-esque rapping but not really a bad thing.

pretty cool dance album overall and obviously Groove is in the Heart is an all time banger

exceptional. probably as close as an album can get to 5 stars without reaching it

some iconic songs but radiohead is simply never the vibe.

a 36 minute long jazz album consisting of 2 18 minute songs is bound to be good but the second song was really cool in it’s own right

not my type of music but there were some pretty good songs. i liked the incorporation of the harmonica added a cool layer

funky as hell. also gave us an absolute banger of a kendrick song so pretty good album overall

some good songs and some truly awful songs. 3 stars

really fucking good. i figured i’d like steely dan but i’d never got around to listening until now

some pretty cool things in here!

wow who could’ve guessed: a bland 90s rap album! it was fine like most of the others but it was so long that i’m knocking it down a star

better than i was expecting. i generally liked her voice

nothing to write home about but nothing outwardly terrible. more bands should throw in a 10+ minute song into a 35 minute album

these guys always bring the vibes

big chill and rainy day vibes. kind of like the non-jazz side of john martyn. most songs were 4 stars but a couple were lesser so entire album gets 3

eh. not awful but will never revisit

idk fine. nothing stand out

no stand out tracks (besides maybe Chi-City) but an outstanding full album. great instrumentals + super consistent Common + kanye in one of his peaks just made an amazing piece of art

to be honest, pretty cool and interesting dance album

some boring, almost bad songs. but some interesting ideas too

really good. rainy day vibes a lot of the time but great songs through and through.

obviously not bad songs but i just don’t think i love stevie wonder. i did like Blame it on the Sun though

interesting album, hard to describe but pretty consistent

unfortunately the first song on this album is so good that the rest almost pales in comparison. if you take out that first one though still a solid album. easy 4

i obviously just don’t like radiohead but i just don’t get it.

this is really a tough album to rate because it’s mostly a 2 but there are some glimpses of 3 and even 4 in there. some blondie vibes every now and then get it to the 3 i think

pretty bland to be honest. never outwardly bad though

not great but it was cool every once in a while so a low three makes sense

truly incredible album. at the first track i thought it was just gonna be another average british kinda alt rock album but it was so much more. very cinematic at times in the best ways.

some more interesting instrumentals on this one but radiohead loves to put just awful songs on their albums

paul simon albums are better than simon and garfunkel because he just sings about fucking whatever here. also more energy

the My Generation alone makes this album great. everything else just adds to it

i knew that i had heard the name TV On The Radio before but i couldn’t place where. turns out, as i found listening to this album, that this band is the original artist for Golden Age, one of the best covers Phish does. outside of that still a really cool album too. kinda a mix of arcade fire, flaming lips, and gorillaz

pretty damn close to a 5. objectively might be, just didn’t have that indescribable factor for me

i was excited when i pulled this album up because i recognized the cover and knew it was supposed to be good. i was let down, it was fine but really nothing special at all

just not my type of music

it was fine but wholly uninteresting besides some out-there lyrics

i feel like Meat Loaf is kind of thought of as a joke-y artist but this was really good. big and cinematic and crazy. a lot of christmas vibes for some reason and some springsteen vibes

first half was fine but the second half was actually really cool. kind of zappa-esque at times

lowkey a great album to do homework to

i can like and appreciate some techno but this just did not do anything for me

not my favorite genre but generally enjoyable all the way through

generally solid electronic pop album

i was on the verge of 4 and 5 for a while but the last song cemented the 5 star rating. great album for running and exploring in the woods. singer kinda has a bob dylan thing going on but it worked

i mean it’s thriller. genius through and through

pretty good, no standouts but super consistent throughout

i mean it’s interesting but it just doesn’t sound good

musically fine but my god was it boring.

great vibes

unfortunately when it comes down to it i just don’t think i like prince very much. wish it leaned into his guitar abilities more. not ever bad though

damon albarn has a very distinct voice so obviously this was gonna sound a little gorillaz-y at points. i love gorillaz though so it’s great! very nice fall listen

better than Abbey Road not as good as Rubber Soul. at least it was generally interesting and A Day In The Life is a great song

scary, sad, horror movie vibes but that was lowkey exactly what i was looking for so it worked out

cool and cinematic at times but pretty bland at other times

i think i liked Murmur better overall but this was a generally good album

blondie vibes, nothing jumped out but enjoyable throughout!

some interesting bits here and there but on the whole just didn’t enjoy most of this

enjoyed this way more than i thought i was going to. most songs weren’t able to be listened to on spotify so i had to listen on youtube and that’s never a great start. cool monkees-esque vibes throughout though.

a little bit weird and a lot bit good. maybe bowie at his peak here

if i was rating this as a piece of art it would be a 5/5. unfortunately i’m rating it as music so we only got 3/5. i know the who can be much better musically so the artistic weirdness unfortunately can’t overcome the lack of musicality

kind of coldplay vibes. nothing bad and sometimes good but nothing super special

obviously 2112 the song is a masterpiece and i remembered really liking Passage to Bangkok and The Twilight Zone but i was curious how the rest of the album was going to hold up. it held up amazingly. some great ballads and classic rock to end the album

some cool instrumentals but those were the best parts. never glaringly bad though so probably a low 3

a super cool, lowkey techno album that was great to do homework to

very big Blue by Joni Mitchell vibes. i hate that album

i thought i was going to like it a little bit more than i did. i’ve heard about The Band in conversation with other musical interests of mine for a while but this wasn’t anything spectacular

super enjoyable! kind of beastie boys vibes at times which makes sense

super enjoyable listen throughout. some monkees vibes at times. loved the sudden vibe switch with Wooden Ships (probably the best song on the album)

solid, quick album. i’ll probably never revisit but it’s albums like this that i’m so glad i’m doing this project. i NEVER would have heard this

i judged this book by it’s cover and thought it was gonna be another bad grunge/punk album. thankfully it wasn’t! it was a super solid rock album through and through

it got dull for the last ≈ 20 minutes but still a solid album. no songs that i “liked” on spotify but i would say that i liked the album on the whole. a low 4

based on the album cover and first minute of the album i thought i was gonna HATE it. i didn’t enjoy most of it but the music was more prominent than the screaming and the last song was a 12 minute long percussion jam so it gets points there

weird! started bad weird but once you got used to it it becomes good weird

i mean it’s not on the level of MBDTF but old Kanye was a force to be reckoned with

eh. nothing great nothing bad. just dull, will never think about it again

vibes off the chart. kinda a crazy album to listen to in the gym but it hit

it could have been way worse. i liked the more experimental route it took now and then. still can’t say i enjoyed much of it, just tolerated is. a high 2

i said this last time but i just don’t really like Stevie Wonder. nothing bad at all just doesn’t hit me for whatever reason

vibes through the ROOF

its reputation speaks for itself

i didn’t expect to dislike this album but i didn’t expect to like it as much as i did. a couple really good songs and very solid throughout. probably a low 4

short and sweet. nothing mind blowing but nothing bad. American Girl easy stand out. high 3

not a big blues guy but You Don’t Love Me, Elizabeth Reed, and Whipping Post easily make this a 4 star album

fine, pretty bland in my opinion. nothing bad

didn’t love it at first, was a fine album for homework but nothing special. the last 4 songs (really the 3 before the last one) were exceptional and easily make this a 4 star album. will revisit

the way that i listen to music doesn’t lend itself well to Dylan. his mastery comes in the lyrics and i just don’t really listen to lyrics in music. he has a catchy song every once in a while though

it’s no Close to the Edge but it’s still Yes at some of their best

super cool, chill kind of pop album. worked great for background music during homework but no songs stood out to me

nowhere near as good as Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. this really wasn’t that good at all.

this was the 3rd of the 4 big Pink Floyd albums that i got from this site (including animals). it makes sense why some people consider them the best band of all time.

id be comfortable saying this was my favorite Stevie Wonder album so far. a couple good songs and only a couple not great ones. super high 3

pretty incredible tbh. funny and catchy and silly and weird and everything you want The Kinks to be

really cool. never would have heard or listened if not for this site!

just some classic, great jazz. simple as that

i wasn’t even a thought in the 80s but i feel like this was super 80s. not take on me, cindy lauper, synth 80s though, a “cooler” 80s music. and yet this album came out in 1995 so who really knows. it was good though! not groundbreaking but interesting songs with some cool stories

super solid album. a couple really good songs and cool guitar lines throughout.

just super bland. it’s only a 36 minute album but i found myself just waiting for it to end. the rock songs were better than the blues but can’t say i loved any of it

crazy how this is like half normal good Bowie stuff and half super cool weird ambient music

i mean it’s called Ambient 1 so you know what you’re in for. and it’s cool for a little while and then about 25 minutes in it becomes boring. nothing much you can do i don’t think

the vibes were definitely there, they just aren’t the vibes for a cold december night. i’d enjoy the fuck out of this album at the beach in the summer though

i thought this was going to be something special. and i kept waiting for it to become that. and it never did. not bad by any means but i thought this was a classic and i didn’t get that sense while listening.

definitely not as bad i was anticipating. much more interesting instrumentals than normal. i think a big reason why i don’t like radiohead is the whiny singing and a heavily instrumental album fixes that! still nothing crazy special though

had absolutely 0 expectations going into this album. had never heard of Super Furry Animals but it was a great listen. no bad songs and a lot of really good ones. the vibes were all over the place but in a good and purposeful way

i’ve known about Santana for a while, being on the outskirts of the jam band scene, but this is the first time i’ve sat down and actually listened to them. very cool

it was pretty good overall, the full band songs much better than the simpler stuff. just got boring about 30 minutes in and then had to kind of slog through the last 20 minutes

pretty good all the way through. the second to last song i didn’t like at all but that was the only one. good vibes and i love when an album is just a bunch of songs each telling its own story. i hope to make an album like that one day

The Talking Heads love making generally fine albums with a couple absolute bangers on them forcing me to give it 4 stars every time

definitely stands out against the other older rap albums on this list. never bad

pretty fine overall, the alien techno song was definitely the best

no songs stood out for me but it was a very good listen overall

way cooler than i thought it would be

it’s very good but i was a little disappointed because i expected it to be near perfect with its reputation. that’s my fault though and it’s still a great album

crazy song to start the album with. after the first 2 i thought it was going to be a 5 star but the rest weren’t as good. except for the last one. still super good though

some cool stuff here and there but overall very okay. low 3

i liked Back in Black a lot so i was excited going into this but it just didn’t hit the same. not bad at all just nothing stood out. obviously Highway to Hell (the song) is a classic but i’ve never loved it either
