1001 Albums Summary

School: I liked this song by the second listen. The piano chords and harmonica are called back on in Crime of the Century, and I really like that. Bloody Well Right: told me that Supertramp is British. I understand why this was their US break through song. Hide In Your Shell: not memorable. Asylum: a bop; can see myself crying while listening in the future. Dreamer: by far my favorite song on the album. They wrote it for me. Rudy: also written for me; I love not being sophisticated and getting on trains. If Everyone Was Listening: Immediately: send in the clowns. I would choose this song over Send in the Clowns every time. Crime of the Century: Pretty good. No clowns mentioned. Did a very good job building on my emotions. The building of instruments over the piano motif is always a good way to get me going. And ending the song with a harmonica callback to School? Golden, genius.

This album is good, just not overtly memorable for me. I could see putting it on as background music (I just spent 2.5 hours listening to it on repeat while replying to emails). I don’t know what you want me to say Man. It’s an album. Gardens of Eden was a bop though I’ll give it that.

I absolutely love the story of how this album came to be and am enchanted by Bowie’s lyric writing process (writing at the mic does something to me spiritually, emotionally, sexually, idfk). Beauty and the Beast: Crazy that this came out before Beauty and the Beast did. Enjoyable listening. Joe the Lion Repeat ad inf. Heroes: Written by the Berlin Wall? Lyrics written while everyone else went on a walk? Why are we mentioning dolphins? Hell if I know; I’m having the time of my life. Sons of the Silent Age: It’s fine. Listen, they’re all good. It was a good album.

A lot of my favorite music is influenced by funk. That being said, this album got worse the further into listening I got. It is a disappointment that we started off so well with our title song, but slowly devolved into just chanting with changing chords. While I love chanting in songs every now and then, and I thought the effect of chanting over consistently changing chords was interesting, (hypnotic? cult-like? Ask me in a few days while I simmer on it), it was not an enjoyable experience.

Frank Ocean is the GOAT. This album is literally perfect from beginning to end. Definitely one of the greatest album to come out in the 2010s. Should have won AOTY. There’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been said. “A tornado flew around my room..”

Pull out Skate 3 and put on your white robe, Jesus. It’s time Pearl Jam time. I remember the first time I listened to Pearl Jam intentionally. I was roughly 15 at the time. My mom had just gotten a new car, and we had satellite radio free for 2 weeks. One of the channels offered just played Pearl Jam. Only Pearl Jam, all the time. As I listened, I would ask myself questions like, “How much can you love Pearl Jam that you would become a radio DJ for a station that only plays Pearl Jam and nothing else? Is there really enough Pearl Jam to give enough listening variety? Is the DJ secretly just a member of Pearl Jam?” I couldn’t get into it then, and I can’t get into it now. I’ve definitely listened to worse albums, but I will always choose other albums to listen to. Even the songs I do like, I prefer other band’s covers of.

I really enjoyed this album. I see their influence on a lot of artists that I listen to. I also listened to the album while playing elden ring so I do not have any really specific thoughts other than it was good.

I’m a sucker for folk songs and a clear soprano voice.

This album was hard to listen to and actually finish it. To quote my favorite critique of Eric Whitacre, “It’s boring super boring The Boringest peice of music I ever heard of… for some reason can’t imagen a even worse song then this and I don’t even like it…”

Very middle of the road album for me, and yet somehow the most 2000s band I have ever heard. I appreciate the mixing of genres, but for the most part, the songs were not memorable.

That's great It starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes An aeroplane Lenny Bruce is not afraid Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs Feed it off an aux, speak, grunt, no, strength The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight, down, height Wire in a fire, representing seven games And a government for hire and a combat site Left of west and coming in a hurry with the Furies Breathing down your neck Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped Look at that low playing, fine, then Uh-oh, overflow, population, common food But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed Dummy with the rapture and the revered in the right, right You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light Feeling pretty psyched It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it And I feel fine Six o'clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign tower Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn Lock him in uniform, book burning, blood letting Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means No fear, cavalier renegade steer clear A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives And I decline It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) And I feel fine (I feel fine) It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) And I feel fine The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, vermouth You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck Right?

I thought it was beautiful. Johnny Cash is a treasure

It was a good album

I know an alternate version of my really, really digs this album.

ICONIC. ITS GOOD.

Amazing; a good album. Felt like I was there.

I thought the story behind the album and the reaction Zombie caused was interesting. In all honesty, I found it more interesting than the music itself.

It’s 2004. I am 6 year’s old, in the back seat of my best friend’s mom’s car. She had just gotten us Arctic Circle. My best friend’s little brother had spilled Sprite everywhere. In the midst of the chaos, my best friend’s mom took a burned CD with “The Go-Go’s” written in blue sharpie and placed it in the player. “Our Lips Are Sealed” started playing, and my best friend’s mom sang along so joyously, so beautifully. Eventually, her solo was joined by my best fiend and her little brother’s voices, not as sure on the words as their mom was, but still singing so joyously, so beautifully. It’s a memory I think about even now. A memory that taught me the true meaning of life—finding joy in the mundane, the everyday. Besides that, The Go-Go’s are simply amazing. Such a good album.

I love Jorge Ben Jor. Honestly, I do prefer his earlier stuff (Take It Easy My Brother Charles is an anthem). But I appreciate the transition in his style that this album represents.

Lost a star bc of Morrisey

Nothing I can really say that others haven’t already.

He did it! I’m wildly uncomfortable! Going to It’s Business As Usual to Miles felt like a crime.

Interesting in theory.

I forgot how much I liked this album. A big part of me was expecting to put this at a three, but I was pleasantly surprised by myself. Good album; good tunes.

It was ok

It was ok

I appreciate them for their technical proficiency and their obvious influence on other bands but that’s it. Ask me about any song and I will shrug

Dude I’ve loved this album since forever.

I got into this

Smooooooooothhh

It’s fine. Just fine

I’m into this

Good stuff

It was literally just okay. Paint it Black was the only song I remember and enjoy.

Pretty good
