1001 Albums Summary

great songs and vibe overall, just incredibly repetitive

fun, funky production throughout. also utilized sounds i don’t hear often in the music i listen to

i’ve always loved the hits on this album, so i was sorta disappointed that the rest of the tracks didn’t impress me as much. not bad though, good production throughout.

listened to this while driving home through rural illinois and felt like i was in a 60s road trip.

shi had me feeling like i was floating

absolutely classic hip hop album. this whole project is peak west coast hip hop as the trio has undeniable chemistry absolutely delivering on every track. rip eazy-e

sorta annoying

very solid garage rock album. some hits on here too that i completely forgot were by the black keys. enjoyable throughout.

I enjoyed this at first but his vocals as well as the slow pacing of this album caused it to drag quite a bit

i’m a big fan of the cure but this album seemed to lack a lot of depth. some very good tracks but also a lot that just felt like interludes.

good album, but despite tupac being considered the greatest of all time by many, none of the tracks really stood out to me.

mariachi rock? not a huge fan but it was still an interesting listen.

almost didn’t listen because it wasn’t on spotify, but i’m glad i didn’t skip. this album was absolutely amazing. felt very personal and had some incredible vocal performances. will be listening to more joni mitchell in the near future.

the lead singer sounds like the guy from gorilla. not as good as gorillaz though.

nothing special with this one. tried to focus on it more but none of the tracks hooked me.

enjoyed this one quite a bit, very easy listening. favorite song: roads

listened to this one multiple times this weekend, such an incredible album. amazingly (and depressingly) this album released in 1971, but all of the critiques it had about society still completely apply today. marvin gaye also has one of the best voices ever in music, further carrying this album.

not much to be said about this one. it’s thriller, the best selling album of all time with some of the most recognizable tracks in music. that being said, there were some songs that i wasn’t the biggest fan of, so i cant give it a perfect rating.

solid, i know it’s old but the production brings it down a bit for me

one of my favorite albums by the strokes, very consistent throughout

this might be the cheesiest 80s album i’ve ever heard.

not bad, just not my style at all

some really good songs on here, but also a lot of mid ones

come on eileen (this album was fine)

good but way too saturated

country

my first 1, why is this one here

this one is sorta hard to review, it’s not as good from a radiohead perspective, but is an amazing album nonetheless. pacing is a bit confusing at times, but this is really such a cool sounding album.

well paced, relaxing, overall great album

this project was okay, just felt a bit underwhelming. all of the midwest references were neat though.

The album that got me into shoegaze music, and a staple of the genre.

did not realize bjork would be on here. great vocals throughout.

despite the high energy of this album, i found it quite underwhelming.

i was expecting some very meaningful/powerful tracks on this one, but the lyrics all seemed pretty shallow. the production was also just okay, got repetitive fast.

despite not normally liking the production of live albums, this one was actually pretty good. the sound was a bit repetitive, but it sounds good so i can’t complain too much.

turns out 80s synth pop doesn’t have to be super corny. this really impressed me overall.

first album back after a while, and it was very underwhelming. although this is not necessarily a bad sounding electronic pop album, nothing really popped out to me. this as well as a lot of the songs dragging on a bit too long led to this one feeling quite saturated.

mid brit pop album. nothing stood out here, but it could’ve been worse.

such a pivotal album for hiphop, one of the best ever. the boom-bap beats and jazz influence throughout make this such an easy and seamless listening experience.

this one is great, so many hits on here. very high 4 just a couple of tracks keep it from being perfect.

I guess I wasn't high enough to enjoy this (poorly mixed) album.

Man, this sucked. I'm normally a fan of electronic music but on a lot of these tracks it felt like they were pressing random buttons on a soundboard. Almost felt comical at times. I could probably name 1001 electronic albums better than this one.

Actually good for a live album. Dude was going crazy on the piano especially.

I love Morrissey!!!

slurs caught me off guard, otherwise okay album

Frank Ocean PLEASE drop another album.

Not as good as some other albums by the Pixies, but still a very solid rock album.

I had never listened to a David Bowie album before, and I went in very excited. It wasn't quite everything I expected it to be, but still had some very strong tracks and none of the lows were very low.

Wow back to back Bowie albums. This was not as good as Hunky Dory, still consistent but did not have as many standout tracks.

This was okay, but was also just a movie soundtrack. I don't think I needed to listen to this, I could've just watched the movie.

This was fine, just not my style. Too country for me.

This was great, good production, good vocals. I enjoy some of the longer tracks as well.

Really enjoyed it at first, but it got old fast. I would rather just listen to an actual jazz album.

What a cool album. First half was more atmospheric/space rock, which I really enjoyed. Then it breaks into punk on the track "Hero," very cool now and must have been VERY cool in 1975.

I do not like metal, and this did not change that. Struggled to get through this one.

I might've just not been in the right mood for this, but it was just way too noisy and chaotic for me. I do recognize why this album is so respected though as there were a LOT of cool sounds annd production throughout the entire thing. Doesn't seem like my thing now, I do want to give it another listen in the future though.

Green Day only has one good album. This album is not Dookie.

This was decent, a little rough around the edges but that is to be expected for a debut album.

This guy needs to get the mic out of his mouth. Also looked up what the album was about, as it is in French, and the dude is just a pedophile.

Country. I swear to god it all sounds the same and I cannot STAND it.

For me the voice is extremely unappealing, but there is some decent music in here.

A lot of great very funky and fun tracks on here. A couple did feel like filler though, keeping this one from a perfect rating.

Not what I was expecting from a Genesis album. The longer tracks were cool, but overall I found this one never really hooked me.

This one was really long and I just could not get into it.

Sonically, this is not a bad album. I'm just really not a fan of harder rock music, and I don't see myself coming back to anything here.

I did not realize that so many of Adele's HUGE hits were on one album. This whole thing is pretty much just a collection of pop songs that had a chokehold on 2015. Not bad by any means, Adele has an amazing voice, just too poppy for me.

Why is Icelandic music always so damn good? This album is a hidden gem. Very ambient and almost ethereal sounding on a lot of tracks, I really enjoyed this and will be listening again.

I listened to this entire album yesterday and I don't remember a single thing about it.

This was alright, but don't see myself coming back to much here.

The only good Green Day album. No punk-ballad BS, great songs throughout.

The background of this album is fascinating, but I did not find that it translated to the music very well.

There was way too much going on here. Wasn't too bad at first but it really starts to drag towards the middle and back half of this album.

Fun, funky, dance album.

Production was very fun and avant garde at times. I did enjoy this listen, but do not see myself coming back to this album often.

I'm a sucker for some good French House music.

This was great, but not for 3 hours.

Great album, high highs and not really any lows.

Not as good as the other CHIC album that I recently reviewed. Still fun, but not as many standout tracks on this one.

I forgot how hard Little Simz is. One of the greatest females MCs ever.

Not really my genre, and this one really dragged.

Lauryn Hill is just too good.

My days of hating the Beatles are over. Not as good as their later stuff but I still enjoyed this record.

I love shoegaze!!

As a sum of its parts this was good, but no individual track really stood out to me. I wish it tapped more into the ambient sound and was not so noisy at certain points.

While listening to this album I learned that Marvin Gaye was shot and killed by his father.

As much as I liked Pure Heroine, I should've listened to this earlier. Lorde has an amazing voice and this album flows seamlessly.

Metal is just not my thing at all.

Country.

Cars song lady.

Fun album, recognized a lot of the tracks despite never listening to this before.

This was a great jazz album, I love the longer songs too.

I enjoyed this quite a bit, lots of songs but none overstay their welcome. Some tracks do start to sound similar though.

I loved this, super chaotic and fun. Added most of the songs to my library.

Decent album overall, enjoyed the second half much more. Self titled song was great as well.

Not really my style, just finished the album and already forgot about most of it.

This Francis dude sounds just like Frank Sinatra.
