1001 Albums Summary

Informed and interesting. Wide array of sounds and made me want to focus on the music. 4/5

Good listening. Almost folk-like and funny. Catchy without any one major standout. 4/5

The intro is totally iconic but the rest of the album seems to fall behind. Base was interesting on a couple songs but overall just not that impactful. Easy listening but not memorable. 2/5

Reminds me of a 90s indie movie chase scene. Actually really good album to run to. Consistently engaging but potentially one-note. 3/5

English rock, surprisingly the best song had no words. 3/5 wasn’t sure how to place it but it warrants another look down the line

I liked their main song "In the Court of the Crimson King". It was a kind of calming album for the most part. I was able to get into the "world" of the album. 3/5

I got into this album! Very funny and good vibes. 4/5

Lots of inspiration for other albums, but I have yet to discover what made it innovative. To me it was 80s processed overload and hubristic. Talking about world problems and all… idk 3/5

Engaging, energizing, and interesting 4/5

Good listening but I don't really know where to place the album. Nothing really stands out and it doesn't have a lot of vigor. 2/5

They use the same effect in EVERY song. I get it’s novel for the time but every song sounds the same. Very 60s psychedelic tho 2/5

Reasonably engaging but didn't really lead me to wanting to find out more. 3/5

Unlike some other of the 60s albums, I was able to get into this one. I could listen to the lyrics and I felt that it was effective. 4/5

Solid Album, though it is funny when I can't tell that the album ended and some completely different band is playing.

Prog rock, very long but not filling the time so to speak. It just seemed like many songs with no cuts. 2/5

Very funky and groovy. 3/5

Modern jazz

90s alt rock, seems standard. Didn’t finish. 3/5

Seemed like a love letter to New York

Amazing

Good listening. Not as engrossing as other albums from them

Some interesting songs that I grew to like because I attempted listening to this whole album at least 5 times and never got through it

Some bangers, but the Album energy is like straight downhill (4/5) for iconic songs

Seems very classic rock, nothing too special

Easy listening, appears to have inspired several Hip Hop artists because I recognized a couple references!

Classic Rock album, high energy and well formatted. 4/5

Good Listening!

Very atmospheric and the message is clear, but not exactly "easy listening". Quite bombastic

Out of the box and good listening

Good listening, wrote the book on psychedelic rock

Great vibes and great jazz sound!

Very chill, easy listening but nothing ear catching

Super psychedelic

Some classics! But the hits outshine the rest of the album

Sounds like baby’s first synth

Nothing really jumps out

Some good hits, classic sound

Classic! Makes me want to explore more jazz

At first I thought it would be some wierd indie stuff. But then it turned into STRAIGHT DISCO! Loved

Cube speaks to real issues with some catchy songs.

Some mildly catching tunes

I expected more rock but it gave me more classic american folk with a rock twist. No heads were boppin

Very space age and narratively interesting.

Nothing remarkable

Very indie, not very soundy good

Punk influences but with complete sound. Interesting and begs another listen

Probably a fun concert but with no visual its pretty dull

Good listening. Very groovy

Lyrically interesting but musically not much. Like really nice campfire tunes

Good listening. No bangers just some slow dance tunes

Standard Rock. nothing too catchy

Historically fascinating but Punk is not my thing

I see the influence of this album in many of my favorite artists of today. Whether the impact was real or not... its certainly my flavor of sound

Interesting album but very eclectic

Ear assault. Trash

Standard good funk

Some bangers! overall good listen

Personal and yet so novel in sound. Culturally iconic

Not really my style

Great weave of American Folk and Classic Rock

Interesting, capturing working life. kinda depressing.

The only real banger is american girl and its last :/

Staple of the 90's and way ahead of its time

All around good listening

Fascinating. Thought I was gonna hate it!

I recognize some of these tunes! Probably from commercials but none the less its fun to discover them in the wild.

Sounds of the bleak and deranged future

I really liked the blues song but overall don’t care

Interesting to see how The Beach Boys embrace global issues and message their songs differently. But they just aren’t as catchy

Eerie.

Kinda gratey on the ears

Very funky and enjoyable album

Quirky and fun!

Beautiful music

Incredibly weird but inspired work. Influences fade into the background leaving only a unique work

Sounds very Alt not my style

All the parts are here but they have yet to become whole

Some good ballads, decent roundup. Nothing major

Some classic Rock but not really my thing.

Vulgar and objectifying but at the same time infused with hip hop swagger

Forgettable but some nice tunes

Tormented, forced me to listen. Some iconic tracks

Decent music, complete sound.

Important album, seems heavily inspired or correlated to the work of the beastie boys.

Obligatory 5 star. Very enjoyable

Like hip-hop dropped acid! So many original sounds in this album

Interesting American influences. Fun music and Karma Chameleon is a an 80s classic.

Pretty moody, interesting melancholic tones.

Fun! Not a bad album to rock out to

There's a lot of base elements that have clearly influenced Hard Rock. However they feel less cohesive.

Reminded me a LOT of Bjork. Sounds were very muted but the stories and language were interesting.

Interesting New sounds. Liked the political take and messaging

Powerful classic rap. Rhythmically and culturally significant.

Interesting Sounds, some nice tunes. Listenable

Nice listening. One catchy song.

It was slightly interesting

Slow personal songs that tell interesting stories. Musically simple.

It had some innovative noises but was overall bland

Punk cornerstone, rock genesis

Never thought I would engage in such ragey music. Thoroughly enjoyed

Interesting Rock tones. Some decent songs.

Not much different then the last album.

Iconic album that has been so influential and is a joy to listen to!

Folk music Galore! so many good classic songs sung so beautifully.

Very grungy and not that enjoyable. But I didn't hate it so much I couldn't finish it

Kinda sad NGL but the lyrics and instrumentation was unique and interesting

For a band called "The Zombies" I guess I expected it to be less flowery. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was actually kinda calming

More fun from a Garage Band than I was expecting!

Extremely funky with lots of humor and uniqueness.

Good listening. Calming and interesting. A little heavy handed at times.

Fun music. Nothing too remarkable. Good jammin

Country-lite good complete album. Nothing too catchy to remember

Classic American rock. Nothin too transcendent on a first go.

American Rock, nothing pops out necessarily

Definitely different, but I would say it would be a mercy to receive 3 stars. it was 2-fer

Very Funky and jazzy. Good listening all around. Nothing that sticks out tho

Great Rock album. Some crazy riffs on the guitar and some bangers.

Off with your head is a straight banger. The rest of the album is ok but doesn't shine as much as the single

I know nothing about this album and it was ok. But I didn't exactly want to know more. Ok listening.

Its some jazz! No thoughts tho :{

Ace of Spades is a good metal song!

Fun! Beastie boys rock

Important album for the foundation of Gangster Rap. Some catchy songs and beats!

Quite pleasant and some good listening. Preferred the instrumentals

Rock opera!

Fun fun music. Iconic timbaland collab

Best song was mothers lament lol

Annoying

Some interesting Jazz influences that I almost recognize

Progressive jazz, enjoyable but doesn’t pop

Very calming, nothing jumps out

Ephemeral, but kinda long ngl

I think I almost get it.

Classic beach boys. Some interesting songs about being mean to women lol

Not memorable for me

Not particularly interesting

Nothing really special to my ears

Out there but not graceful

Serene

Autobiographical and layered

Couldn’t really make out the lyrics but good distinct tunes.

Classic Beatles

Fascinating concept, fun lyrics

Soft tones, nothing pops.

Great entrance but fizzles out by the end.

Not particularly memorable

Eclectic and interesting. Experimental

Very punk. Actually listenable which was a pleasant surprise

Interesting folks music. Doesn’t really sit in the brain tho like other albums. Quite unique I think

Quirky early rock and roll aesthetic

Soul and folk infused

Utterly unique but not quite listenable

Black Hole Sun is a classic!

Talking heads is atmospheric but this album didn't quite have the highlights of some of their better singles.

Some of the singing was strained but that's part of the charm I guess.

Quaint and a delightful listen

Some good singles that have cemented themselves into pop culture

The Smiths have lyrics that are sad while the song is upbeat and it’s very effective

Nice to listen to. Doesn’t really draw you in

Tom Sawyer is an undisputed banger. But that’s about it unfortunately.

Interesting but no songs that quite stick

Some fun tunes!!

Some nice tunes, nothing too memorable

Actually nice to listen to, enjoyed it but nothing stood out.

Some questionable themes but unique in its vision. Would not let my child listen to

Some interesting folk tunes. Nothing quite catchy

Psychedelic

An enjoyable listen. Cohesive but nothing jumps out.

Atmospheric and interesting.

Some interesting tunes. Nice folk vibe

Just some French dude musing about his chick Melody. Only saving grace was the play on words “Me La dit” but it was still lame

Funky and electric. 1999 is a classic. I see the appeal of prince!

Lots of great riffs and cool melodies. This album had a welcome consistency.

Enjoyable punk!

Not super memorable

3/5: pleasant to listen to and Imagine is iconic. Truly a product of its time

3/5 iconic album with some good classic Beatles tunes

Ended up saving a song. Not too bad!

Had some pretty iconic sound loops and the flute song was pretty good.

I just don't like this music. I could listen to it tho.

Pretty iconic for only 4 songs and no talking.

Classic ABBA. Not perfect but quite a few bangers mixed in

2 iconic songs, very solid rock album

I now understand Lana’s appeal and know that it’s not for me. Best song was “For Free”.

Barely finished, super rag tag. discombobulated

Cohesive and compelling in its storytelling

Great album that made me want to learn about this group.

Nice jazz album, threw it on for dinner.

Classic album. The overall tone was a lot more sad than most of their big songs. I think I just paid more attention

Classic Beatles album. Some good keepers. Nice listen

Some good ones. Nice palatable album unlike some of their other things. Classic

This album has some keepers! The production is amazing. Almost like City Pop echoes

Fun exciting jazz, very old-timey big band. But it’s basically “one note”. I found the trumpets pretty grating by the end. If it fluctuated in energy maybe it would actually be a keeper

Iconic. No words

Amazing album. Deeply personal and classic of rap

Some good songs. Classic album

Have yet to identify a single freaking song on this album. It’s experimental and seems ahead of its time but it’s not enjoyable at all

I now know why Cindi was so unique and such a powerhouse. Quite an eclectic work but iconic

Several lovely songs from an icon!

Def a vibe. A couple of the songs were extra enjoyable but in general I couldn’t distinguish one from the other. I might throw this on in the background but nothing more

Didn't not particularly enjoy this grungy french escapade

Enjoyable punk, innovative, exciting and fun to listen to. Though nothing is jumping out as an ear worm

Punk for sure, not exactly my kinda style.

Paint it Black is iconic but the rest of the album does not match it’s staying power

Genesis of modern house music and overall an excellent collection that can be thrown on for a multitude of circumstances.

Early rap and undoubtedly integral to the movements roots. Lots of fun songs but none I could see making into my permanent collections

I liked the song without words best. Good beats but quirky 80s style lyrics. Very consistent

You can hear the excitement of the audience. Brown is so dynamic and soulful. Must’ve been great to hear in person

Bjork-esque in lyrical oddness. Good background music but equally funky. Some good tunes but incoherent

Great beats and grungy tone. Kept 1 song

Just what I needed. Bjork is a dream

Doesn’t really stand out to me. Unintrusive

It’s Bowie! An iconic single in starman and eclectic. I’d have to know the history to appreciate the lyrics

Pleasant listening. I think I’ll need to dig into this one more

What looks like a 70’s album cover is deceptively a very well informed 2008 electronic album. Big soundscapes and inviting melodies. No ear worms but still pleasant nonetheless

Some classic Coldplay bangers on this album!
