1001 Albums Summary

Якоо, слушай пак!

Charming and funny Johnny Cash. Listening to most of these songs for the 1st time. "25 minutes to go" is my favourite so far.

mmm not my thing really. I liked "paradise by the dashboard light" best but overall it is a bit too old-fashioned for me and the album is not something I would listen to at this moment.

nice and chill. not into it right now though.

powerful!

There are several songs here I would swear are parodies by Flight of the concords

Darkness, darkness is my favourite from this track.

Beautiful voice, but this is literally the most generic, bland, American, pop music possible (oop sorry, country). Why is this even here? Won't relisten.

I was intrigued in the beginning but it all became repetitive noise soon after. And that moaning in "girl". Ew

When I was 16 I was OBSESSED with Guns n' Roses. But the strongest fall the hardest, and my obsession turned into a severe hatred. Even now, almost 10 years later I can't listen to GNR without cringing. And the fuckers are everywhere still. So there is no way I can be objective about this track. 3.5, because I can't deny how great their debut album is, but if I have to listen to Sweet child o'mine or Paradise city one more time, I'll blow my brains out.

Listening to these guys for the first time. Kinda dull and monotonous. And too British for my taste. Fav track is Boys will be boys, but it's nothing too outstanding.

It seems like I should be impressed by the lyrics. Too bad I don't pay attention to them on a first listen. The sound though.... is weird, experimental, and actually intriguing, like girl.. what is going on? Might check some of her other stuff. Will I relisten? Who knows :)

This came out 10 years ago and this is the first time I hear it.... Adele, forgive me if I'd ever thought you were overrated! Anyway I loveee it!!! Rumour has it! He won't go! The Lovesong cover! If It Hadn't Been For Love! 5, no question.

I'm pretty sure I didn't have a headache an hour ago.

It's quite dated for sure, and I probably won't listen to it anytime soon as I've already lost my teen angst, but I can't deny I'm a little into it. 3.5

Boooring. And somehow too annoying to be background music. Maybe it's the banjo. "Old Man" was my favourite from the album but otherwise not for me.

Fave track: I shot the sheriff 3.5 but I'll round up cause I'm feeling generous today.

Alright alright. I've been postponing this album for... wow two years now I think, because I'm not the biggest hiphop fan in general but damn, Missy can get it. I can only guess the universe wanted me to enjoy it as much as I did today.

Great reminder that men who make misogynistic music should be shot <3

"I remember California" is the only track I liked, otherwise rem? More like fuck'em

No

"I've been dazed" and "Solid Ground" are my favourite tracks of the album.

Why do they look like just released prisoners of war?

3+

3.5 Kinda sounds like if Michael Jackson had a sister. Very good in the begining but could have been trimmed towards the end I think.

Stop👏using👏women's👏names👏in👏your👏band👏name👏if there ain't NO WOMEN in that band!!!👏👏👏 I'm TIRED of expecting to finally hear a woman but then bam, someone with a dick starts singing

Yeahhh!!! A million out of ten! This album holds such a special place in my heart <3 Early Black Sabbath inventing a new genre just like that. Hearing "Black sabbath" (the song) for the first time changed me forever. Such a raw and authentic feeling of doom, dread, horror. And that witch!!! That's what I call an iconic cover!

2.5 Nice cover

nice riffs, very angsty, I would've definitely jammed very hard to this if I were a teen in the 90's. or a teen in general.. alas I ain't

wow that cover sucks hard

2.5

I liked "Pyramids" and some other songs here and there. But otherwise not my type of music. Very american, it tries really hard to convince you it's coooool, but effortlessly.

2.5

Better than expected, I especially enjoyed the lyrics.

I get why everyone hates this

I love hearing men moan

2.5

The Downward Spiral may not be my most favourite NIN album (I do prefer The Fragile more) but! Trent Reznor, you depressed little man, you are—without any exaggeration—my Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. And God, every time I listen to NIN I think there's something wrong with my earphones, amen!

3.5

Sounds like midlife crisis

4 stars mostly because of Fernando

Actually pretty good for when you're working or exploring an alien spaceship. 3.5

Two whole hours of Billy Corgan's rather annoying voice and yet i don't hate it entirely, interesting...

Not my thing but ooh, what a sweet design!!

3.5

Oh man... Radiohead again

Now, i'd listened to this before and by all means it ought to be exactly what i love - rock tunes plus powerful (male) vocals. Except i didn't love it then, and don't love it now, I don't know why. None of the songs had stuck with me (except for hallelujah but no thanks to jeff). Overall just a mess :/

Mother Russia, baby!

Great! But stop talking about little girls, creep

Wish I was fist fighting an English guy rn.

2.5 My first Beatles! Honestly, the songs here are quite unremarkable, apart from "run for your life", which was enjoyable enough to push it to 3 stars. But at least i finally found a way to block the ads on spotify, so a win for music nevertheless!

I'm not sure but I feel like this guy might be a vegetarian.

Beck, you sly sly motherfucker

Mingus

Smoother than his head

Sexy phone operator music.

I feel like i could easily beat the shit out of damon albarn if i wanted to, he looks as light as a bird, I'd just knock him out with one blow to his pretty face, no effort, i know i could do it

It's beautiful when the musicians in a band are also very best friends that like having fun together. Just ignore the car song 👍

Amy!!! This album as well as "Frank", both of which I just heard for the first time, showed me that sometimes artists that are overplayed... are actually really good and hyped for a reason. I'm guilty of avoiding you, Amy, but not any longer! Now I'm gonna get a glass of wine (sorry, Amy)

They literally rhyme "dam" with "damn"

You guys are deaf, this is crazy

One of the ugliest covers i've seen so far. Whoever edited that photo and chose that font... I just wanna talk. It fits the music though, definitely not their best sound – it's repetitive and boring. Their more recent stuff is so much better.

Nice cover!

"Love Interruption" is one of the songs of all time. Hell yeah man, I also want love to murder my own mother! (this is a joke, I love you mommy)

Album cover 5/5

As far as mediocre british punk goes, this one was relatively enjoyable

Paul! Paul, Watch out!! He's right behind you, Paul! Oh my god, he's got his airpods in, he can't hear us!

You guys are insane, this shit made my gristle throb like crazy!

"I'm taking a ride with my best friend", what could he possibly mean by that....

To the dissapointment of my brother it confirmed something I'd suspected my whole life: all metallica songs sound the same to me—10 min of drums-guitar-wahwahdestructionoblivionangerblahblah. Anyway, the last couple of days have been a real snoozefest so I'm grateful for the change.

Like, yeah man, alright. Some of these songs I've heard so many times throughout my entire life, I don't know if I like them or I'm just used to them. The generator gave me this one right after "Metallica" and I gotta say I enjoyed the other one slightly more.

2.5 It's intriguing that "lame" and "male" are made of the same letters, isn't it? Well, both those words apply to anyone who enjoys this kind of music

Why are these malnourished medieval peasants trying to make punk music? Don't they know it's a pastime only for bri'ish people, eh? Perhaps they should've stuck to making tshirts. The album's not exactly a 3, but I appreciate that it was short at least.

3 or 4 albums later I still don't get Radiohead but their covers always slay not gonna lie

Oasis if they were completely mediocre

Of course it's Damon Albarn

3.5

Blister in the sun is annoying as hell but the other songs were very fun. For punk.

Booo, boring 👎

2.5

3.5 The intro is so good

The songs suck but the cover is superb 😙👌

If singing bland sappy songs makes this guy happy, good for him, but did the editors really need to pick him instead of idk something that doesn't put you to sleep or, god forbid, from someplace other than UK or US. I know the editors are geographically challenged but perhaps they should have considered listening to more music outside the UK/US before making this list. Very, very generous 2.

My teen self loved this quite a lot, but wow does it suck now. Unrelated but Brian, why don't you do the ultimate shock rock move and kill yourself, maybe on stage, maybe with a shotgun to the head, idk just throwing some ideas around. Still, giving this 2⭐ because of Trent Reznor's involvement (as much as he might regret it) and my stupid 16yo self's sake.

2.5 Nothing spectacular here but I did enjoy "Small hours"

2.5

Stop this. No more generic sad men please. Please.

Uninspired, mediocre, boring, middle-of-the-road, basic, pedestrian, unexeptional... Do you get the idea? And that cover is ugly beyond words. "Hey man, what did the graphic designer propose for the cover? The ugliest fonts known to man, nice! And oh, what a great idea, yeah, let's put the same photo twice!"

Paul looks like he's going to unhidge his jaw right now and devour his prey in a single bite.

2.5

Wankers

nothing salvageable about this really

John Lydon should be put in solitary confinement for the rest of his life for this.

Fave track, predictably: "Son of a Preacher man"

I hate this type of american rock in general but I honestly have no idea how these shmucks are even considered listenable, much less punk. I guess it's ok if you are an american wannabe rebel who wants to stick it to their suburb-living conservative parents, woo hoo you're so different and special and unique! If not, be embarassed and listen to something better. The cover is cute though, I always appreciate a hand-drawn illustration.

4.5 Top wankers

Slay

He's so silly 🤪

3.5 Fave tracks: "This mess we've made" and "Kamikaze"

Blurry man, for god's sake, stop abusing that harmonica

Tough one. There are some real classics from my childhood days here, but since then my English has improved somewhat and the misogyny in the lyrics is hard to miss now. And it's quite disgusting to listen to. Especially "Kim", what a revolting domestic violence manifesto. Unfortunately, everything else still slays, so maybe I'll give it a 4? I just remembered the blowjob skit... men should be forbidden from making music.

I happen to be a citizen of one of the few countries other than UK (no, not US either), and as much as anglo music gets imported in here I'd never in my entire life heard of Elvis Costello before this list. So I was kinda looking forward to seeing what makes this guy so special that he was given 7 entire spots in here. So far I'm just confused. Catchy, memorable tunes, nice voice, smart lyrics (ok, I didn't care enough to pay attention to them)—I don't really see any of those. I hope the next ones are better. Anyway, the English should be ashamed of many things they've done, but among them is claiming this is in any way of global importance.

2.5

2.5

2.5 They really couldn't find a graphic designer, huh?

3.5 Nice cover.

Inspiring for everyone with no singing talent watsoever—don't let anyone tell you you can't make music!

Nice cover

Love the title and the cover, but everything else is a crime against humanity.

3.5

I can't say anything bad about a man with such big sad brown eyes.

2.5 Doesn't really deserve a 3 but whatever, at least it's better than "Metal box", and I kinda like the post-punk sound, grating as it is.

Nice cover art and nice guitar (especially in "A Sight to Behold") but i'm sure the guy is 100% insufferable in person.

Ooh hey that album by John Lennon's not so bad, let me just listen to the last song...... hmm he should have been shot earlier actually.

Going strong for the "Worst of the 80s" prize, aren't ya? Close but not there yet, honey. "Worst COVER of the 80s" though... A cover as fascinating as it is horrible, and yet the more I look at it the more it intrigues me. What's the deal with that woman's face? Is she trapped in that rectangle by the ugly fonts above her? And the look in her eyes doesn't even remotely suggest "daring"—I would say "frightened" or "slightly confused" or maybe even "awaiting your answer to her extremely difficult riddle, which could either let you pass freely or kill you". Nevertheless, the 80s were a terrible time for music.

I want to love it but other than the three best songs (including "Love her madly", which is probably one of my most played songs ever) the rest of the album is pretty mid comparatively. I listened three times just to make sure, and yeah... it's alright.

Woohoooo

Fave track: "Sweet thang"

I feel my tolerance for harmonica decrease with every Bob Dylan album.

Heavier than I expected but pretty good for a one-time listen (ignoring the band's name). And it's got a nice cover.

3.5

Overplayed to death but somehow still slays, hate to say it

3.5

People just did whatever in the 70s... Amazing cover though!

2.5

Kinda boring, sorry Paul

Somehow captures the the worst of the 90s. Shit sound, shit vocals, shit lyrics, shit album art. Fuck this for real.

4.5 First time listening to a Nick Cave album! Surprisingly good a for a double album I'd never heard before, I'm pretty sure a couple more listens will turn it into a solid 5⭐ Edit: I've listened to this at least 20 times now whaddahell, Nick Cave ya old bastard, ya got me

I love when men are miserable

3.5

The wet bread of rock music. I like to imagine Kurt killing himself again while listening to this. Occasionally there are some decent tunes though, deeply buried beneath Dave Grohl's very very mediocre vocals and zero personality. Also stupid-ass band name. Literally so average I can't even give it a 1⭐

3.5

If the album consisted only of that beautiful cover and In Every Dream Home a Heartache it would be straight 5⭐ (shoutout to my fellow Mindhunter fans, y'all know that sweet sweet needledrop I'm talking about #makemindhunterseason3). Alas, there are 7 more songs and all of them new wave trash so we gotta do some math and round down the rating. David Fincher, please answer my emails

2.5 The beats themselves aren't bad but I can't stand the ugly prick. Beyonce kill him already

3.5

I wasn't going to give it a 1 until i read all the comments praising it... guys, we are not on the same plane of existence. I'll be real this is pretty boring repetitive and whiny. An absolute void of musicality. And each new song pissed me off more and more, just fuck these guys for real

Now is the time to confess something that's heavily burdened me for a while now: I regret giving "The Man Machine" only 3 stars, it deserved more!!!

Got this on Christmas 👍 To be honest I've never felt the Christmas spirit less in my life, and I've tried anything, I even watched "Home alone" this year... still nothing

3+

I just don't care about Neil Young!!!!

2.5

4.5

sucks

2.5 Cool cover

3.5 Fave tracks: "Season of the witch" and "The trip"

Hair metal 🤢

2.5

Can't believe I spent 2 hours listening to Metallica and actively enjoyed it. My life sucks

There are waaay too many people in that band.

3.5

From the bottom of my heart, thank you Christina, you and your ugly pants managed to shine a light through the super bleak and boring tunnel of shitty albums I've been forced to listen to for I don't even remember how long. Truly, expecting the worst is sometimes the best you can do.

Maybe on another day I'd give this more but today I've felt nothing but hatred since the moment I woke up. Pere Ubu, see you in hell.

2.5 Metallica if they were slightly more annoying

If nothing else, this list is making me realise how deeply I hate new wave.

3.5

So we know for certain that at least one (1) person in the Netherlands has bought this album. Maybe even listened to it... Well, yes, when you put it that way, it certainly explains why it's on the "albums everyone should listen to" list.

4⭐ just for Auntie Tina's voice
