1001 Albums Summary

For some reason I'm reminded of Looney Tunes. I liked Boplicity and Rocker lot. The last song was... off-putting.

nah

"Hurt" feels like getting hit in the chest with a baseball bat but in a good way

I think the best way to describe this album would be "deeply unambitious".

"I hate avant-garde music" I say and yet.... I kind of liked it. Gil Scott-Heron has a complex and compelling voice which is somehow complimented by the keyboard. At once soft and chaotic, this is losing yourself on the New York Subway, middle of the night music. "H20 Gate Blues" still feels too relevant.

Really enjoyed listening to this one. I can totally see how this album could have been an influence for a ton of other stuff (thinking of Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana). My singular complaint is that the production quality is pretty shit/fuzzy (probably on purpose but I hate it) which definitely made me enjoy less. I think it would be a 5 if the recording was a little more clear, though Lose My Breath almost carried it for me.

Fine thing to listen to while working.

It might have been tolerable if it was shorter, but 2 hours of mediocre old folk music is way, way too much. I didn't finish.

Whiny

honestly not bad? gives me videogame soundtrack vibes

This one was really enjoyable, will listen again for sure.

A couple songs were definitely a 4-5, but mostly I was neutral on this. The couple really good songs carried it. Her voice was pretty haunting- it made me wish it was raining

Could really hear the influence this album had on a TON of other stuff. Also just fun to listen to, these songs made me happy.

Lots of great ones on this album. I especially liked "Running to Stand Still"

nope

Not really my thing, but she has a beautiful voice. I appreciated the blatant political activism in her lyrics.

Starting to think that whoever put this album list together just REALLY likes grungy rock

I struggled not to give this a 2 just because it's so fucking sappy but it's not *bad* I just hate it

Not my usual thing but I find this delightful. I'd give it a 4.5 but a handful of songs were kinda weird and not fun to listen to which brought it down.

Oh man I love this album and I forgot it existed until today

Would've gotten a three if it wasn't so damn long. There's way too much mediocre garage rock on this list.

i hate jazz

This is the reason people don't think rap is real music.

Fun to listen to, not sure I'd seek it out though.

The vocals on International Lover, holy shit.

The way overused fadeaways drive me nuts, but his vocal talent is undeniable. I really hope dirty, dirty feeling is a joke... lyrical content in general brought it down to a 3, musically it's a 4.

Actually really enjoyed this one, bones in particular. I'm a sucker for a moody falsetto.
