1001 Albums Summary

I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe.

Not unenjoyable.

Seems woke for the 80's but a bit boring soz. 2.5 stars rounded down to 2.

zzz

Sultans is a jam but... The rest is OK. Won't be going into the rotation. Prefer Brothers In Arms.

Funky

Parts of this album got a bit tiresome.

Some of it was okaaay as background music.

I was surprised by a few bangers.

Not great, not terrible

Countdown To Not-quite Ecstacy

Giving this a pity second star. Mostly bad.

Bit boring

Beatles hurr durr.

Kinda irritating.

Psycho Killer best song on the album by a fair bit.

Pretty bad sorry Bee Gees.

Gimme dat funky funk

Can't relate but not bad.

Sorry Brain couldn't get into it

Ehhh it's alright

There only one Elvis and he's the king. But we don't like him either cos he was a creep. Next please.

Fine

Grunge before grunge

As an album... Too long and a bit over done. Some songs work well.

What a party

Go on Aretha

Sorry David, not a great listen.

Didn't quite get into this one but I'm giving it 3 stars for sounding like it sounds and being from the 60s.

So-so

I'm very clever I like jazz man

Powow

Hyuck

Chill instrumentals. Not a great overall listen with vocals.

Feelsgood

Good for vacuuming

Perfectly fine

Not bad old school psychy proggy rocko

It's a'ight

Texas is hot, I can be cold Grandma cried when I pierced my nose I'm gonna give this one a miss.

Makes me regret staying in school.

3/5 feels generous but whateva

So aromatic

Angry but good.

Little bit of yeah but more yeah nah.

Probably deserves more than a 2. Better than I thought it would be. But I'm giving it a 2.

Interesting background. Original album tracks are... Alright.

Had some good moments... The Grateful Dead still haven't clicked for me. Maybe I need to listen to the right performances. As an album, this one is not amazing. Inclusion of Feedback was a bad call.

Best crowd 1968. Prison sounds like a sweet deal.

Couldn't really get behind this dad rock.

A wild Björky ride.

Kinda boring

Even worse than the other Missy Elliott album. I did sorta try though.

Jane says the rest of the songs aren't as good.

Old school punkyness. Dig the female vocals.

Ye good fun

Didn't find this that great. Granted I'm not English or over 50.

Good tunes AND anti-establishment? Nice.

Moody broody. Good to listen to on the bus. Not my fave Radiohead album.

I got Radiohead yesterday but I'm not mad.

Pretty wild.

Sounds very aged but hey it was listenable.

The War On Drugs Spotify description: "The history of rock ’n’ roll is a story of splintering. Stop here for 10 seconds, and think: How many niches can you name without even trying, without having to pause for just a split second? They seem infinite and, already the better part of a century since rock’s bastard birth, still ceaseless, each new form defined by the mainframe’s perpetuity of flux. But over the last 15 years, The War on Drugs have steadily emerged as one of the mightiest counterweights to this endless division, reconnecting rock’s manifold hyphenates with an ardor and ease that suggest they were never split far apart in the first place..." The album isn't bad. But holy shit what a load of bollocks. Minus one star for that is fair I reckon.

I don't think this has aged well.

80s punk. Decent energy on some tracks but nothing amazing.

Gnarly.

Partial to punk.

Weird but kinda interesting.

I'm gonna go with 3 starts for appreciation not necessarily enjoyment. Not that it was bad.

Background music I guess. Had to break it up though. No one's got time for pianisting for an hour sorry old fella.

Meh.

Kanye being a massive bellend aside, this album is overated imo. Some catchy parts but also lots of cringey bits.

This is jam mon

Better than it really should be.

Probably could have died peacefully without listening to this.

Wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Early 2000ish hip-hop cheesiness is getting to me.

Average. I'll round up from 2.5 because I'm feeling generous.

Found a better recording on YouTube. The Spotify version is not it. Nice to do work to.

This was fine but not really my cup of tea.

Damn.

Jazz 🕴️

Too repetitive and long to be an enjoyable listen

Not even my strongest urges to be contrarian helped me enjoy this one.

Not very inspiring tbh

Love me some pinball wizard but this was too long without enough going on to really get into.

Contextual points given. Some songs were vibin.

I've got soul but I'm not a soldier

Yeah, ok?

I wasn't listening too intently but it didn't do much for me after the first song.

Meh

Sounds aged and drags on a bit, sounding very samey... But there is some interesting stuff in here.

Bleak af

Had to skip a few tracks due to high levels of annoyingness.

Nothing special with today's lens.

Didn't really click or feel memorable after a few listens.

This is cool and wibbley

I guess it hasn't aged well.

Mooooody

Weird but mostly not in a good way.

Remarkably listenable considering it's nearing 60 years old, but largely unremarkable.

Goes on a bit long but fairly palatable. Summer beach vibes.

Suckah for Yes

Album you must hear before you fall asleep

Well yeh I like it

Not great, not terrible.

Meh

I don't think I'll ever listen to this again but yeah, I get it. Pretty depressing vibe.

Kinda fun. Bit long though. What were they thinking with Free Form Guitar...

Snoozefest

A classic really.

Not really my thing but it was pleasant enough.

The old school cheese doubled back around into being kinda fun.

Actually kinda fun. Quite nostalgic. Chester vocals are best Linkin Park vocals.

Standard old skool punk.

I didn't hate it. Some of the spoken word stuff was a bit wierd and meh.

Sort of charming but also not

Alright at times.

I just can't.

Straightforward driving punk. Short and punchy.

Raw, harsh at times.

Underrated. Shit's good

Good vibes.

Big king energy.

I can appreciate it but it didn't do much for me

Banger. Got it in the car in CeeDee format.

Imagine rock-'n'-rollin' to this in '67 🤠

Found myself quite enjoying some songs. Angry music +1

Yep I can vibe with it

Not amazing, not terrible.

Some good some bad.

Only realised this was from 73 after listening. Fair play. Interesting.

I enjoyed it. Didn't overstay it's welcome and you can't beat smoke on the water

Banger. I'm about 20 years late to this shoegaze thing but hey. Worst thing these guys did was call themselves my bloody valentine.

Today, I did not dance.

Fine.

I'm glad this one isn't on Spotify so I'm not tempted into trying to listen to it again. Yeah, it's weird, but yeah, it's bad.

Burn the monarchy

Raspy af

Never heard of this. It was great.

Didn't bother listening to the extended version, it's hella long. Had it's moments

I can't remember much about this album, I was doing something while listening and now it's been a few days. Must not have been too bad.

Upbeat 80s synth pop. I'm here for it

Points for shredding

A refreshing surprise that this made it amongst the dad-rock.

Enjoyable.

Some good vibes. Some weird vibes as well to be fair.

Enjoyable enough.

Eh, I wasn't in the mood for dad rock today.

Liked this one. Not as cringey.

👑

Could probably be anywhere between a 2 and a 4 depending on how honky tonky I'm feeling. Today it's a 2.

Naw this ain't it chief.

There are some bangers on this album. If there were more bangers, I would rate it higher. It is what it is (which is pretty good).

You know what it's not bad.

Found this a bit dull. Lyrics were meh.

A distinguished record.

Yeah more dad rock

God awful album art. But I liked the music. Sounds like CAKE, but, darker?

U2 is U2 but this is a good enough listen

Not very good tracks amongst horrifically bad interludes and skits.

Not 4 me

I could bop to this. In fact I did bop to this.

Better than average dad-rock

Pleasant, nothing too much that jumps out.

Too good.

Bellends can make good music.

Good stuff. Great musicianship.

Bit long

Funky masterclass. Shame it's not on Spotify.

Nope.

Shmooth

I won't rate it too low as to not seem uncultured. This was fine as *background jazz* but didn't make much of an impact to my 21st century ears (but a break from dad-rock is always appreciated, of course).

The lyrics to Brown Sugar are abhorrent. The rest is good enough to listen to.

I got too irritated to finish it.

Man's got the beat

Jesus loves you more than you will know

I don't really like James' vocals but eh, it's a classic

Better contender for an album you don't need to listen to before you die.

Funk slam dunk

This would be good for when I want to listen to honky tonk blues (which is never).

Hard to argue with dat synth

Fine listen but never really feel like listening to too much of The White Stripes.

Got the juice

Plenty more fish in the sea mate.

He's got da ting

Yes but less skits next time please

Generally enjoyable but didn't blow me away or anything. Little bit tepid feeling at times.

I enjoyed this, I think, but it was tricky to find.

Too good

Found the CD at an opshop a few months ago. Been in the car CD player since. Great album.

Propah borin'

Again, plenty more fish in the sea mate.

Full of white people bangers

Good ol' fashioned Satanism

Easy listening

Soft religious metaphors for days.

Stupid girl

Pity 3 stars cos it's kinda alright but I can't really stand the vocals for long.

i n f l u e n t i a l

Hot rats

More sax in punk pls

Cool jazz

Classic init

I think this is as bad as it sounds, but also I'm not sure. I liked the instrumentation.

Mostly boring dad rock.

Liiieees Liiiees

I think I enjoyed some of it

More mostly-boring dad rock

Not all dad rock is born equal. Imagine hearing freebird for the first time in 1973 and ascending to guitar heaven.

Oui oui?

Gets old pretty quick sorry ☘️

No one needs to hear this before they die

I can get behind it

Their best work is yet to come

Bit of me

Tame but not too bad.

Not sure what to make of it. Not the best prog but alright

Listened to this album while eating humus and carrot sticks on the deck in the sun. Surprising good listening for when you're eating humus and carrot sticks on the deck in the sun.

Is it Oasis' fault that wonderwall is overplayed? 🤔

Generally good but who are these guys???

Pretty meh

The songs that were on Spotify were pretty good stuff. But not good enough to go hunting for the songs not on Spotify.

Dragged on

Hadn't heard of these guys until earlier this year. The album is pretty cool at times and I'm feeling generous.

Fine for what it is

First Bowie album that made a bit of sense to me

Vocals kill it

Had its moments but was maybe a bit long/meandering?

I bought Urban Hymns at an opshop and thought it was rubbish other than bittersweet symphony. So this was a surprisingly decent listen tbh.

Good ol' psych rock

Short and sweet

I wouldn't recommend this to someone if I knew they would die at some point in the future

Weird but not in a good way. Not aggressively bad though.

Gööd stuff

Hmmmm it was ok

Pitty 4 stars. OK it's not bad.

Haven't listened to the Rós before, but I think I will again soon

Much better than the name and cover makes it out to be

Generally inoffensive. Decent listen

Good stuff good story

Never heard of em but I kinda like it

Yes, there are some absolute classics. But, it meanders for too long with uninteresting filler tracks.

It's got bops

Got some bops

Quite long, but generally pretty good 👑

I think he was trying to do a thing while being aggressively offensive, but it sounds well overcooked... Sorry Slim

Prog goes brr. Pretty cool but not my fave

It's got some bops no doubt. Also some fairly uninteresting tracks tbh

Grunge machine goes brrr RIP

Not bad I guess

Fantastico 4.5

Very good. Not as good as Doolittle imo, but very good.

Not bad. Won't listen again though.

Some pretty good tracks but not particularly sold on the whole album. The best of the Gorillaz was yet to come.

Nice to have a break from dad rock with some *hard* dad rock

More enjoyable than I thought it would be I suppose

Bland

Not bad

Gothic sadboy goodness

Man can write a tune. Some duds in the album though.

Big ol' pile of meh

Few cool tracks but you can probably die peacefully without listening to this one.

White rabbit good

Hyuk, neehh

California dreamin' was not good enough to redeem my interest in the rest of the album.

Cheesy

Cheesy but ok

Naw

Enjoyed the instrumental stuff

Legendary but kinda drags

Inoffensive but also inoffensively not that interesting

Didn't feel like LCD Soundsystem's best.

Nice, cheesey and dated but nice

Average. Did not excite.

Started off slow I think, but picked up somewhere in the middle with a decent run of tracks. Some good stuff here. Feels a bit long though, and that's before getting to the extended edition...

Dat narrative

Didn't get me like Doolittle does

Pretty good
