1001 Albums Summary

very enjoyable haven't listened to any og his stuf before

I've heard the song Back In Black but never heard the whole album. The opening song 'Hells Bells' (Thinking of Ally McCoist here) is a great introduction to this album. This is overall a great album of the metal and rock genres.9/10

I'm certainly on a Highway To Hell. A Classic Rock album that i love and that love is still strong after another listen. 9/10

Not really my taste but I enjoyed it

10/10

10/10

Primal Scream have such a unique sound and its very previlent in this album. All the songs just flow nicely from one to the other, not even realising its a new song. Making it a great experiance though not as good as 'Screamadelica'. (8-9/10)

I used to love 'Clint Eastwood' growing up, many a memory around that song. Damon Albarn has got to be one of the greatest artists of the 90's and beyond, two best bands of their areas and of their time, brilliant solo artist, he just doesnt miss. And this is where his (IMHO) better work starts with Gorillaz. Overall a great and unique album which I rate 8/10 (It's not the BEST gorillaz album).

Oh David Bryne and Brian Eno. Underrated (at least Eno is) GOAT's of music. An absolute classic on this album with 'Once In a Lifetime' and other incredable lesser talked about songs like 'Born Under Punches' and great 'The Great Curve'. So good, always a treat to listen to (I claim to be) Scottish music Legend. 9/10

Pretty good, did enjoy was a nice background soundtrack to my life for that moment. 7/10

This was just a bore of a listen. It wasn’t bad but it was just didnt go anywhere. Did nothing interesting or new and sounded old for ‘95. Overall 5/10

Probably my favourite Muse album. It's just the perfection of what makes Muse. The singing, the lyrics, the instruments, the sounds used. A leap over the already great absolution. Like any album that has 'Knights of Cydonia' can not be lower than an 8/10. 9 to potentially a perfect 10/10

I don't usually listen to electronic, dance music but I did enjoy the album. But it also solidified my dislike of this expansive genre and thats the repetition of the samples and lyrics used, it doesn't go anywhere and makes me feel like I am going insane. Overall 6/10

It was alright, Neil goes in the Bob Dyla (and now geese) catagory of great penmanship but a grating voice to listen too and that does lower my enjoyment greatly. The country music also isn't my cup of team which makes it just boring for me to listen too. Overall 5/10

As much as I hate Morrissey, the lyrics and Johnny Marr make up for the hatred as the songs are alwasy good. Brilliant ideas that flow effortlessly amongst one another. Overall 8/10 cos its Morrissey.

The 3rd best Pixies album to some (Critics and users on AOTY). My second Pixes album I have listened too fully, and it's a lot more intense than i remember Doolittle being. I did enjoy this, great listening experience. Overall 8/10

Was alright dont think this 60s ,70s slow rock is really my taste. 6/10.

Kinda boring, had to start listening to twice. It was good though, I did enjoy it after the first track, highlights like War on War, Heavy Metal Drummer. Overall 6/10

Enjoy some British Synthpop. Was pretty good, nice mix of instrumentals and great singing. Overall 7/10

Very very good as expected with Brian Eno. This one sounds very much like David Byrne and The Talking Heads. I dont have much to say about this, was just an enjoyable experience. Overall 7/10

This shit is ethereal. So so beautiful, well put together, and just perfect. So many little hidden piece of information in the lyrics. The pipes, drums, guitars, keys, the background singers, all of it just perfectly working harmonising gracefully together making the best of the best music. THIS is what theatre kid music is and its brilliant. It almost made me feel sad and almost cry of John Wayne Gacy, but then quickly reminded me of his atrocities, whiplashing me in feelings. Easily has become one of my favourite albums and I will check out more of his stuff. 10/10

A harmless, enjoyable Country album. But don't let the country part put you off, its mostly accoustic singer/songwriter music. It's a bit Jeff Buckley esc, but somehow more about love songs (probably because that is what country is about). Overall I did enjoy the album 7/10

Released on 9/11 and recorded in NYC, unfortunate but also funny. Great album enjoyed it even though i felt like I was missing some context of the happenings in Jay-Z's life around the creation of the album. 8/10

I like this woman and her 'big yellow taxi's and 'Blue' feelings. Joni is a brilliant lyricist, telling enticing and flowing stories that really captivate your imagination. She uses word play so well it really seperates her for the rest. Joni also has such a unique sound, both in voice and music. Her singing is spoken poem like and her music is folky but with inspiration from around the world. Overall 9/10

One of the lesser discussed Radiohead albums and thats a shame since its one of the more different ones that does what it sets out to do brilliantly. I might be slightly biased (I am no matter what) since I did get to see quite a bit of the album live. This album on 'Album of the Year' is the 6th highest rated album by users and it should be 3rd, its definitely better than, The Bend, Moonshaped Pool, although interchangable with Kid A. Overall an incredible, emotional journey that entices you from the start. 9/10

Title track is a great song to end Bowies magnificent career, but happily it’s only the beginning of this beautiful final hurrah for the spaceman. Lazurus is an epic track that is probably my favourite of them all. The whole album is a somber affair of Bowie and his struggles with cancer and accepting death. It is probably his best writing and musical ideas put into a final goodbye of one of the best and most influential artists ever.

Opener is a banger shall see what the rest becomes. Loving this, World strongest man fav so far. Still loving it half way through Boy Child was a beautiful melody into a fun upbeat but still somber song, Hero of the War. Old man’s back again really mad you feel like a Stalinist. What a beautiful 30 minutes, Scott Walker has a beautiful voice and amazing musical choices. Great first album to him might listen to the other three Scott’s.

It’s good but it ain’t for me, aren’t really feeling it. Favourite got to be Streets of Bakersfield. It was a country album but I do enjoy the easy beats and guitars but it isn’t my cup of tea.

Off to a strong start, lovely voice. A chaotic album so far. Ought to Know is my favourite. Never mind, Right Through You is the best song I’ve heard. Great lyricism and the guitars oooooh my. God this is a great album. I love guitars going ham and along with a uke/simtar sounding instrument!!!! Every song just makes this album better and better. And I have heard of her before with Ironic, which is a certified banger. As previously mentioned, IT KEEPS GETTING BETTER. Close to a ten outta ten album. Favs: The final 3 songs; Ironic, Not a Doctor, and Wake Up. Least Fav got to sadly be All I Really Want. 9/10

The inspiration for naming my cat :). Let’s see if the title track deserves to be my cats name. Rio slapped lovely the sound, it’s like Depesche mode and other bands like that but British (🤢🤢). Favourite so far is Hungary like the Wolf. Loving me so new wave music, they’re all bops. They’re all bops that are catching but different especially The Chauffeur. The Chauffeur has got to be my favourite, after all those poppy bops this mysterious synth beat songs add so much to the album. Great singer, great lyrics, great instruments overall solid album 8/10.

An absolute Icon of an album, Led changed the scene. Great guitars as to be expected with a Leddy album. And Kashmir, what a great, beautiful song.

It’s good. Not listened to much if at all any blues but I’m enjoying it. Simple beats with some wacky pianos. Love me some ragtime. Good album. Nothing really stuck out to me but fav has to be baby pleas don’t go, a classic blues/country/rock n roll sounding name. 7/10

Fuck ye REM. Love me some sleep. Good album enjoyed very much. But samey though. 7/10

I’ve heard of this man before, might be a stand or something. Got some hot as sounding music. And I mean in a desert dying from the heat in Breathe of the wild desert. HEY ITS THE SONG FROM SOPRANOS!! But seriously Dirty Work is a banger. So many songs I’ve heard before, didn’t know it was by this guy. Real in’ in the Years. A TUNE. I’ve also just found out this was his debut I think so… Steely Dan came out swinging with some classic hits that live on. 8/10

Oooooh. Any excuse for listening to Jeff. It’s already a 10/10 btw. Mojo Pin, what an opener and then into the title track Grace. It’s so good. I wish he could’ve made more 😔. God this hallelujah is so good.

These guys have some funny music videos. It was a 6/10 album.

Yippee Kate Bush time. The Fog really makes you FEEL like a fog. This song, Heads We’re Dancing, is how it feels to talk to someone on the internet with the lyric. “That’s a picture of Hitler” “He’d go ‘Doodoo doo’”. Ok Rockets Tail was good and probably the best if I didn’t love This Woman’s Work because my mum introduced it to me :) 8/10, Kate Bush always servers.

Not really listened to Rap so looking forward to the introduction. Lost at Birth was fun. Nighttrain is a fucking banger. Fav. Half way through haven’t heard any of this before but thourghly enjoying my first real experience with 90s Rap/Hip-Hop. Hadn’t heard any of it before but very enjoyable 7/10

Fucking great album. She has an amazing voice and it’s a great album. Title track and rivers are bangaroos 10/10 album.

It was alright didn’t really stand out to me, though aren’t the biggest fan of electro music type stuff 4/10

It was alright didn’t really stand out to me, though aren’t the biggest fan of electro music type stuff 4/10

No notes a classic 8-9/10 can’t decide.

No I’m not listening to MJ, at least not a whole album.

First listen to anything Lennon or Beatles related it was good. Advanced for its time I think or atleast different. 6/10

What a wacky and different album with song and speaking. Really enjoyed it 7-8/10 idk.

What a different album unlike most things I’ve heard. 8/10

Fun album enjoyed 7/10

An another Leddy and a banger. How does he keep doing it??! anyway was good not as good as the other one but good. 8/10.

Banger enjoyed it very much. It’s as old as my mum also 🙃 8-9/10 idk.

A critically acclaimed album, and I see why was such a good listen. 9-10/10 idk if it is a 10/10 as there was little bits I didn’t like.

Nope don’t listen to Coldplay. 0/10

Great album loved it. 8/10

A great electronic album. A different track each time. 7/10

Scottish music 🎉🥳. Was so good each song was beautiful and different loved it very much. 8/10

Queen 🫡. Loved it, listened to take the box before and it’s still my fav at least of the album. 8/10

Greatly enjoyed the album. Never heard a 20 minute 6 part song before. 7/10

Was a fun country album. Short n sweet. 6/10

BRUCIE! Beautiful 8/10

Love me the new order. 8/10

I love cock- I mean Jarvis Cocker. Listening to it I’ve realised that I’ve heard most of the songs already thanks to my mum and her impeccable music taste. It made me think about her and that’s made me happier. Nostalgia and reminiscing aside it was also great music obviously if my mum liked it. Jarvis cocker would’ve loved being a theatre kid and you would agree if you’ve seen him live. 9/10.

He sounds like he would be a theatre kid. Was enjoyable tho 6/10

I love beck and this a a great album 8/10

Was very good. Sadly not all about Steve McQueen so a loss of a point 7/10

Great excuse to listen to shine on you crazy diamond fully. God it’s so good. One of the best long songs ever. Great album also 9/10

Really enjoyed it so different but familiar as well. 8/10

The peak of all peaks. It’s soooo good. Easy 9/10

Very good. Love this pyjamas Harv guy does a good woman voice. 9/10

Was actually good. I get it now. I too want to imagine the perfect life with the perfect person. Anyway this was like a 7/10 kinda generic.

It is the ideal ‘Hell Yeah, Brother!’ Album and it’s great. Then the last song is like some shit outta a Bowie album. 8/10

That was beautiful will probably be on of my repeat listen albums like nick one is. 9-10/10

Some old pop. Was very good nice voice super enjoyed it. 8/10

Great singer songwriter with a short but sweet album with some great themes. 10/10

Was pretty good. thought they were a German techno type bad but I was very mistaken. 8/10

Very cool album enjoyed it so much. sounds so modern and new even though its almost 60 years old. 7-8/10

Holy shit 10/10. Don’t even need to listen to it but I will. I fucking love Radiohead. 9/10 only because they have even better albums.

The corals self titled album is great with a mix of barber shop quartets and rocky pink Floyd esc music was very good. gonna give it a 8/10

great as always is Led Zeppelin II, some great songs like Living Loving Maid and Thank You. With albums you also gotta not take for granted how good it sounds and how modern it sounds. still holding up today. 8/10.

It was a good album great Ben just feel like it ain’t there best feel like some ideas where not fully tapped into. 7/10

I mean... Brainic Eno and David 'batshit' Bryne together in a studio... MASTERPIECE. Just give it a listen. 8/10

It is a beautiful album. Reminds me of christmas' gone by. beautiful love songs about places the singer misses and remonises about. Nice and slow could imagine slow dancing too it with a significant other. Richard has a great voice and i have learnt that he has played and is friends with frontman of pulp, Jarvis Cocker, that alone adds one extra rating. So many styles in this accoustic album got some country, some singer songwriter but all of it is great and as Alex Turner said when this lost an award 'someone call 999, Richard Halway has been robbed'. 10/10 enjoyed it all the way through it enticed me i could not stop listening.

Hey its the second half of the hit album Nico & The Velvet Underground. She has a beautfil voice, really unique. I found it quite repetitive but still okay 6/10

This is great loved every song was great thoroughly enjoyed all these songs. Especially the 10 minute title track 8-9/10

great album cool take on iron man by black sabbath 9/10

God she's so good. I remember that I listed to so much Fiona before I dropped out of uni. What ever that means, read into it what you will. But as always she delivers, with great lyrics, music and very evident talent. I rate this 8/10

Great album, Ethereal album, love PJ Harvey's voice 8/10

enjoyed this would recommend a listen but would probably not listen too it again anytime soon. 7/10.

Love this era of British music. Might be better than Britpop for some of the bands are classics, like the Happy Mondays. Highly recommend. 8/10

Greatly enjoyed this. Never heard of these guys before and thought it was just gonna be some nerdy parody esc album but was blown away from the different sounds and lyrics. If you've never heard of them as well greatly encourage giving at least this album a try. Don't let the name and album cover put you off; as they say dont judge a book by the cover. 8/10.

Wasnt half bad enjoyed it, nice and calming. Recommend but not a crazy album. 6/10

Rip Ozzy. Its a good album and the start of one of the greatest bands of all time but its easily not their best work compared to, Paranoid or Master of Reality. Still good overall 7/10.

Never listened to this guy before and was pleasently enthrawled with his sound. Some great funk, soul and tunes. Overall brilliant sound, and still felt new and fresh 50 years (wow) on. 9/10

Good ol William Joel. Never listened too an album by him i realise, although this album has some of my favourite songs by him (Vienna and Movin’ out) and ive found a new fav in She’s Always a Woman. Great album highly enjoyed and recommend, will definitely listen to more albums by him. 9/10

Great music to listen too on this early morning that I happened to listen them too during. Sounds like The Clash, The Who and Lou Reed’s stuff. Fast and quick but in a good way, these songs don’t have to be long. Recommend. 7/10

This album has an example of a cover being better than the original with proud mary by Tina Turner (and Ike I guess) being heads above, Creedence Clearwater Revival's original version. Overall an okay album was anything special but was not bad. Middle of the road. 5/10.

Briliant album. 10/10 Right off the bat. Was an interesting story through the British Empire from Queen Vicky to the Colonies and the many wars in the 20th centurary. Highly recommend a listen to this. Again 10/10.

Brilliant album. Not listened to in a wee while and was great to listen to again. 10/10.

I mean Scottish Legend, Dave (I know he left early on in his life but I still claim him. We don't have much going on). A great and unique album by the TH and first with another great producer (and one of my favourite artist) Brian Eno. My one critisim is this expirence flies by but thats minor when you enjoy it all. 9/10

ZZ Top to me is a multiple hit wonders. So I've never listened to an album of theirs but have heard their top hits, like Gimme all your loving and Sharp Dressed Man which are on this album, so familiar territory. Overall, a solid rock album, nothing too crazy but not bad. Has catchy songs. Good album. 6/10

Not my cup of tea. Not a fan of dance music, was good though, but as said not for me. 4/10

Brilliant. Under rated album of Bowie’s, especially by myself. Greatly enjoyed. 9/10

Imagine having to do be in a band and do a tour with your ex-wife. Would not be fun. But seriously The White Stripes are great as always but this one felt like it was just slipping away from start to finish. there was some highs but it became quite low and almost bland. Overall I did enjoy it 7/10

Heard of sonic youth before but never listened. I love the different vocalists they have and i especially love a female lead singer in a band. The music was also good, im a fan of indie rock, post punk but dont listen to it as much as i would like. Overall 8/10.

It’s the Wonderwall band! In all seriousness they were (are?) a great band, of which this is my second album of theirs i am listening too fully. Compared to Morning glory it doesnt have those massive hits of Champagne supernova or wonderwall, but it still has great (and maybe better musically) songs like Live forever and Cigarettes and Alcohol. Overall greatly enjoyed it but a little less than Morning Glory. 8/10

What are the chances after Definitely maybe. I have listened to this before and i remember enjoying it so hope that stays like that. Overall did enjoy it more than DM, the song writing was better, lyrics and the deeper meanings where all better than DM. Morning Glory also reached a higher acclaim which i agree with. Overall brilliant album, 9/10

It was alright, wasnt very well produced but that is probably intended. The singing was good and the lyrics, but the overall product just was not it. There was a few songs I enjoyed like 'Repeater' and 'Shut the Door' but overall was not very enjoyable. 5/10

It's rather like Damon Albarn's solo career. This album is very british, but also surfer rock like for the states. Mixed identity thats for sure. BUT its brilliant, so unique and fun to listen to, I was not bored of one song they stay their welcome for the right amount of time. It sound a little more modern than when it was released in the early 80s, sounds like its from the mid to late 90s. I can see where Will Wood got insperation from potentially. Really enjoyed it 50 minutes flew by. 7/10

Briliant album, what more do i have to say. 9/10

Never heard of the them. Their the classic scandi synthpop music makers. Bunch of bullshit that sounds good. The lyrics, synths, drum machines all of it culminating in beautiful sounds. Very Bjork sounding due to the randomness of lyrics and the music itself. On an unrelated note they kinda look like a Harkonnen from Denis Vilnuerve’s Dune films on their AOTY profile. Kinda reminds me of Donkey Kong Country with its scenic sounding music, with different scenery’s per song, like Donkey Kong Country games. Overall I greatly enjoyed this album 8/10.

Fucking love the Smashing Pumpkins, love this album, love it all. Great hits like ‘Today’, ‘Cherub Rock’ and ‘Disarm’. It is harder to write a review for a heavily listened to band and album i feel because I enjoy it so much and it is on of my favourite albums. As Billy Corgan Says ‘Today is the greatest day ive ever know’. 9/10.
