1001 Albums Summary

Wow! This is incredible.

Incredible! It's wild that he was omitted from the main list.

Quicksand has a unique sound here, blending the sounds of a few artists found on the main list.....but not in a way that I loved.

LOUD AND MAD

I think the Arctic Monkeys are a great bookend to the indie sleaze era. This album shows that some sounds really don't last 20 years.

A great album to listen to while thinking you're better than everyone else (even though everyone in the room is thinking the same thing)

I can't believe this wasn't on the main list. Weezer defined nerd rock!!

I'm not sure about this one. It's at best generic, but even then there are other generic rock albums that do more than this one. It's almost a rock album for someone who doesn't really like rock music.

It's interesting pop I suppose

Deeply slutty

I loved this. The lyrics are pretty clever and it's a fun soundtrack to start the day with.

This is pretty middle of the road. It's got some good songs, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as mandatory listening. Songs like Stuck On You are really great, but they are the bright spots in an otherwise average album.

It's solid, but not nearly as slutty as Bloody Kisses.

Pop excellence. It's so fun and makes you want to dance and sing along.

As an album, it doesn't do much. As a concept of what life would be like if 9/11 didn't happen, an interesting thought experiment.

Chaotic to listen to at work, but it's an interesting mashup album.

I'm not very familiar with music coming out of Japan, and I'm not sure this was the best introduction. I wasn't a huge fan of the production.

This isn't my type of computer sounds, but I can appreciate that it is good beeps and boops

It's loud and mad but ultimately doesn't motivate me to want to drink a beer or rise up against authority.

It's very 'now' and there's nothing wrong with it, but it's also not doing anything so unique that this needs to be here over and of the other hundreds of bands doing the exact same thing.

Classic Dolly

It's alright! It's a bit long and weird at times, but it's not too shabby.

A truly incredible no-skip album.

Not what I was expecting! This was heavy but still really accessible.

Very moody, an album that feels like it's best enjoyed in a rainy dive bar in a technodystopia

I really wanted to like this, but it sounds like Spanish South Park Ska :(

Pop country has become so formulaic over the last 20 years. Tyler is taking country back to it's roots - protest, authenticity, and real themes from real people.

It's good! It had some peaks and valleys. I found it a little wanting overall.
