1001 Albums Summary

Good musically just not my thing, will try some of his other songs at some point

Gets progressively better (less folky) but not my thing. Opener and closer the highlights

Building steam and midnight good songs

James brown is good and worth a listen but this album is a pain to listen to as half of it is screaming fans. Enjoyed lost someone but it seems to be the only version of that song. He has 4 different songs called lost someone.

Blues chords and catchy chorus’. Not much else going on don’t really get the hype.

Don’t get it at all, massively bland

Elevator music

Some good songs but a little raw for me, reminds me in patches of early cage the elephant

Brilliant album, proper talents and fantastic production for its time

Decent but not my thing

Alright but heavily influenced by better bands of the time

Starts off sounding like REM ends up sounding like Travis, weak second half of the album

Just plain weird

Surprisingly easy to listen to, might give it a second listen but the middle of the album was forgettable

Not my jam but the seed is a great tune

Great musicians

A bit too experimental for me

Some good tunes, like their energy. A great album.

Some good funk, they won’t go when I go is a great little interlude

Fine

Decent album, something a bit different 3.5, family tree is great

Couple of decent tunes but a lot of it droned on

The instrumentals are decent but he’s not much of a vocalist

My expectations were low and I’m still disappointed

Crap

Not my style

Not my genre but liked a fair bit of it, best song revolution blues

Nice album, shades of portishead

Solid 3.5, much prefer it to other albums of its time

Not for me

Dross

All about showing off his vocals, some of its ok

One dimensional, same tone rapping over the same beats

Just classic Neil Young, he’s good. alberqueque and the album closer are the highlights

Fine, basically the mamas and papas again

Weird covers, drags on in the middle

Very good music just not something I’d listen to

Pretty fresh but fades massively, gasoline dreams and ms Jackson are great

More folky than I expected, not really for me

It’s one of the best

A man shouting over frantic drum beats and guitar fills for an hour and a half, couldn’t finish it

Brilliant, 4.5.

Great album, more blues inspired than I thought it would be. Brown sugar, sway, wild horses and can’t you hear me knocking are brilliant. 4.5

Too folky for me

Nothing original, soulless

Better than expected but country isn’t really my thing

Not for me

Didn’t expect the hip hop and reggae influences, couple of good songs though

Really good, fades a bit in the middle, great blues album

Once you’ve heard the first song on the album you’ve heard the whole album

Nah

Decent, the happening is the best, quite like dig for fire and is she weird

Brilliant, 4.5

Hit and miss, some real talent in there and I admire the freedom and creativity

Drags on a lot, most songs are a couple of minutes too long

Interesting but some of it is too lacking in melodies/structure, Some good tracks and worth a relisten though

Absolutely brilliant, will re-listen again and again.

Bland

Solid enough blues album but won’t be listening again

Good, needs a relisten with full headphones

Second half much more listenable and lively than the first but still lacks edge

Decent blues album, better than expected, Maggie May and that’s all right are the highlights

Good pop

Pretty uninspiring really

Nice, but didn’t do a lot for me

Liked the vibe, good funk but the songs just dragged on for too long and lost their focus

Need another listen to really get it

Not bad at all

Completely unoriginal and bland, like listening to the same song on loop

Much better than sgt pepper

A little bland, some decent tunes though

Some interesting sounds but every song is 3 minutes too long, you need to be on some kind of mind altering substance to enjoy it

Incel anthems described as teenage angst, good music, bad vibes

Really good, massive Bowie influences 3.5

Did not rate this at all

I’m clearly not intelligent to get this, give me some melodies please

Funky but not my thing

None of it really stood out

Very well polished album just lacks a little edge in places

Slight dip in the middle but very very good album

Interesting, probably worth another listen

A bit too soft and slow for me

Some great songs but a touch one dimensional

Good stuff probably needs a second listen

Some great songs in here but half of the album is annoyingly whiny

Some good songs, definitely influenced a lot of bands

Didn’t feel cohesive as an album but some good songs, relisten needed

Dull, not for me

Really liked the first half of this surprisingly, will listen to more of his stuff for sure, 3.5

Bland, not sure what this offers compared to say Dolly Parton

Great stuff from a great man, grows with every listen

This list doesn’t need more than one Leonard cohen album, utterly bland

Bland, didn’t do anything for me

Good but nothing sticks long in the memory

Not nearly as good as pranoid

Not really my thing, feels a bit like a novelty act

Maybe I had to be a teenager in the 80s to love this

Some interesting melodies and decent background music

Much better than I thought, just not my thing

Not for me, decent though

Some good tunes in here but half of it is bland and similar to others in the genre

Not my favourite cure album, lacks focus

Really enjoyed this, shame about the lead singer being a rotter

Overhyped? Maybe, but still musically very good with great production

Lacks a bit of originality and spark for me

Really didn’t engage with this

Perfectly listenable, just wouldn’t choose to listen to it again

A bit like early Beatles without the charm

Didn’t really get on with this, nothing stood out

Solid writing, needs a relisten

Did not listen

Some really nice tunes here, will listen to more

Not really sure what this was

A bit too heavy for me, but it was fine
