The College Dropout by Kanye West

Separate art from the artist. Great album really. Kanye has had an undeniable impact on hip hop and rap and music in general really. Not sure if this is the most groundbreaking album of his but it def has some great stuff on it. I like the story telling aspect

Sep 08 2023

Zo violently American het maakt het moeilijk om naar te luisteren. Hoewel de muziek goed is kan ik nergens aan relaten en voelt het een beetje oppervlakkig omdat hij in z’n muziek zo aan stereotype Amerikaanse cultuur lijkt te voldoen. Is dit echt hoe het is? Stereotypen zijn er niet voor niks natuurlijk

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Sep 11 2023

Ja echt wel goed, wel heel lang en sommige dingen waren niet helemaal voor mij bestemd. Muzikaal wel heel goed

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Sep 12 2023

Prima album heb lekker schoongemaakt met dit aan, vrij intens soms maar over het algemeen ook wel casual te luisteren

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Sep 13 2023

Heel mooi, in sommige nummers is de vibrato in dr stem iets te om relaxed te luisteren. Meeste nummers heel mooi voor bij romantisch dinertje

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Sep 15 2023

Beetje futuristisch haast, je raakt afgeleid van alle gekke geluiden erdoorheen. Was voor die tijd vast vrij baanbrekend. Ik vind het moeilijk dat álle nummers politieke issues aankaarten terwijl de muziek er eigenlijk juist van afleid. Beetje funky voor zulke donkere themas. Muzikaal wel goed en ze heeft natuurlijk wel een goeie stem dus muzikaal wel goed.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Sep 18 2023

Blij verrast echt leuk album would listen again

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Sep 19 2023

Hmm beetje te intens voor mij raakte een beetje overprikkeld. Wel coole nummers I guess

Opus Dei by Laibach
Sep 20 2023

Epic goed om een keertje gehoord te hebben

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Sep 21 2023

I liked it would listen again

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Sep 22 2023

Well I didnt really really listen tbh yesterday was not a day for this album so maybe some other time Edit: nope still cant do it

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Sep 26 2023

A fun introduction to Keith Jarrett, nice for on the subway or cooking dinner

Violator by Depeche Mode
Sep 27 2023

Sep 28 2023

Amazing! Loved this

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Sep 29 2023

Hmmmm okee vind andere albums leuker deze nummers zijn way too long

Back In Black by AC/DC
Oct 03 2023

Okee beter dan ik dacht maar nog steeds niet iets wat ik zelf echt zou luisteren

Blur by Blur
Oct 05 2023

Blur is leuker dan ik wist

Low by David Bowie
Oct 06 2023

I like toevallig dit hele album nog nooit geluisterd dus leuke ervaring

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Oct 10 2023

Poeh ik wordt zo zenuwachtig van die mondharmonica pls doe m weg. Begin van t album was zo erg nog niet maar wordt steeds erger en de nummers zijn zooooo lang

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Oct 11 2023

Honestly echt mooi would listen again

Protection by Massive Attack
Oct 13 2023

The title is deceiving I was scared this would be some heavy metal or something but no! It’s cute and it’s sweet and it’s soft and it’s easy I liked it

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Oct 16 2023

I believe there is a time and place for this, but today at work was not that time and place. Sick cover tho!

25 by Adele
Oct 17 2023

Kippenvel vergeten hoe goed dit was

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Oct 19 2023

Jaa heel nice eigenlijk nooit echt bewust Lenny Kravitz geluisterd maar is dus wel echt wel goed

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Oct 24 2023

Pretty good pretty pretty

OK by Talvin Singh
Oct 26 2023

Pretty cool but mostly just weird

War by U2
Oct 27 2023

okay but anyone hear that straw moving through plastic McDonald’s cupcover sound? In Sunday Bloody Sunday? Somewhere around 1:31-1:41. And from then on a few more times actually. You really discover new things with this 1001 albums list. Who knew U2 loved McDonald’s cups so much.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Nov 01 2023

This is actually enjoyable, would listen again

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Nov 02 2023

Honestly pretty good and enjoyable

Smash by The Offspring
Nov 06 2023

Not bad but not for me

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Nov 07 2023

Honestly i expected more, maybe I thought the lyrics would be better idk

Sulk by The Associates
Nov 08 2023

Wasnt very memorable but was nice. Listened to it on the beach on a quiet slightly chilly day so it fit the vibe

Connected by Stereo MC's
Nov 09 2023

Ja pretty good niet heel bijzonder

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Nov 13 2023

Ja opzich maar niet laaiend enthousiast ofzo

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Nov 14 2023

Cute but little boring

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Nov 15 2023

I liked this! I liked this more the first time I listened to it, the second time I discovered it was a little bit repetitive

Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 20 2023

Hmm I guess I don’t like the who as much as I thought I would. Music wasnt bad tho just not something I would put on often. Maybe some other time I will appreciate it more

2112 by Rush
Nov 21 2023

Short n sweet

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Nov 22 2023

I didnt get hot or cold from it, is what my grandpa would say

The La's by The La's
Nov 23 2023

Hmmm ja prima zou het niet uit mezelf aanzetten

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Nov 24 2023

Omg perongeluk bij het vorige gecomment wat hier moest, nouja ik rate ze toch allebei hetzelfde dus het maakt niet uit

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Dec 04 2023

Ja pretty cool maar ook wel vrij standaard niet heeeel bijzonder, eerste track wel vet ofc en leuk dat er een hidden track was al was dat echt niet om aan te horen

Dec 06 2023

Dus echt heel Nice, kende al 2 nummers maar de rest nooit geluisterd tbh

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Dec 18 2023

Ja heel goed album met een aantal bekende hits pastime paradise big so

Imagine by John Lennon
Dec 19 2023

I’m sorry I just don’t think this is it. The Beatles arent my cup of tea but john Lennon on his own is worse

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Dec 20 2023

I can’t I just… I can’t do it. How is it so bad. His voice… the lyrics… the music itself… how. Do people really connect to this on any level? Maybe I’m just uncultured but this… I just CANT DO IT

Dec 26 2023

Looked at the reviews and it turns out Phil Spector is a murderer… Christmas cheer anyone? These are definitely the best Christmas classics so I will be giving this a nice golden Christmas star, but not for that creepy Phil Spector message at the end!!

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 08 2024

Ja wel mooi chill om naar te luisteren tijdens het leren maar zou het niet perse nog een keer aan zetten

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Mar 11 2024

Separate art from the artist. Great album really. Kanye has had an undeniable impact on hip hop and rap and music in general really. Not sure if this is the most groundbreaking album of his but it def has some great stuff on it. I like the story telling aspect

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 12 2024

Heerlijk bij morning coffee met mats. She said she needs some Marvin Gaye!!

Mar 13 2024

Ja pretty good fun times beetje eentonig maar aantal bangers zeker

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Mar 14 2024

Ja best goed, zaten paar goeie dingen tussen maar alle nummers zijn heeeeel kort en dat vind ik wat minder

Queen II by Queen
Mar 18 2024

Ja wel goed ofc maar niet hun beste album

Mar 19 2024

Ja kijk dat ene nr is natuurlijk super nostalgisch dus leuk, de rest is alleen echt niet voor mij

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 21 2024

Ik vind dit erg leuk! Soort Braziliaanse masayoshi takanaka

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 22 2024

Okay well… hmmm… no

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Mar 25 2024

Ja ik vind dit gewone echt heel hard

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Mar 27 2024

Better than I expected. I guess he was a better Beatle than John. But.. I’m rating this a few days after listening and I actually don’t remember that much from the album, so not that memorable or not worth remembering? A quick re-listen tells me: worth remembering but not that memorable.

Microshift by Hookworms
Mar 28 2024

Im definitely all for separating the art and the artist, but it does make it less enjoyable. Fun album for sure! Had never heard of it so pretty exciting to find something fun, but don’t think I’ll continue listening.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Apr 05 2024

Ja niet slecht maar wel saai. Nice album cover maar past niet helemaal bij de inhoud geloof ik. Leuke Giorgio moroder sample

Dookie by Green Day
Apr 10 2024

Very fun

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Apr 11 2024

Some if it is fun and comforting, some of it makes me nervous

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Apr 12 2024

It sadly just doesn’t hit quite the same anymore. I just enjoy it ever so slightly less. I’m a firm believer of separating the art and the artist when necessary so for the rating I will put the somewhat eerie feeling aside. MJ has had an unbelievably big impact on the world, reaching far beyond just music. This album is boogie indeed.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 18 2024

Ja very fun en easy! Leuk om ff niet de hitjes te luisteren

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 22 2024

Obviously very fun!

Odelay by Beck
Apr 29 2024

Nope

Apr 30 2024

An honest piece of genius And yes, I am too, in love with my car <3 gouden sletj

No Other by Gene Clark
May 02 2024

Wow this was really enjoyable i didn’t expect this to be this good to be honest. Really really enjoyed this

Palo Congo by Sabu
May 03 2024

Boyfriend said it’s nice music to fall asleep to…? Anyway, I think the recording is a little flat, with modern recording techniques it would have a lot more depth and balance. Still pretty swingy but I would like this a lot more live I think. Now it’s just a lot of noise.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
May 06 2024

Chill, pretty nice, maybe I would listen again

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 07 2024

I mean… come on

Future Days by Can
May 08 2024

Hmmm I already knew Holger Czukay but I didnt know he was in this band. This album kind of tells a story? It really sparks your imagination, you can visualise a whole world around this album. Though I like Holger Czukay on his own better..? I think..? This was definitly an experience worthwile

Parklife by Blur
May 09 2024

Heel goed! Niet alle nummers even goed maar girls&boys is zo’n goed begin can’t really go wrong after that

Amnesiac by Radiohead
May 14 2024

Honestly very pretty, not my favorite Radiohead album but still pretty with an edge

Bossanova by Pixies
May 15 2024

Hey some of this is nice! That loudquietloud sound indeed, im more for the quietloudquiet. The happening is nice

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 16 2024

There is a time and place for everything, same goes for this album. Time: anytime. Place: anywhere.

Illmatic by Nas
May 27 2024

Debut album but undeniably experienced artist. I need to listen to this again and again to fully comprehend the lyrical levels

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 03 2024

5/5 10/10 easy dit was top waarom wist ik dit niet eerder

Purple Rain by Prince
Jun 07 2024

I had been waiting for this one and then there it was. It doesn’t get any better than this does it? Despite the fact that I’ve listened to this so many times, it stil gets better every time. Every time Therese something I didn’t hear the last time. Surprising me every time

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jun 12 2024

Ja ook niet voor mij helaas, the six million jews line took me by surprise

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Jun 13 2024

Nou sorry maar het is praktisch allemaal hetzelfde, maakt me nerveus

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 19 2024

Okay I like this but in a dire straits kinda way, not a U S A! U S A! Kinda way. Get it? It’s like, I like the music but I dont necessarily connect to the lyrics in a deeper way.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 21 2024

Very nice maar beetje emo it’s cute tho

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jun 26 2024

Quite pretty maar op een gegeven moment eentonig

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jul 03 2024

This was cute! Most of the numbers are double so idk I got to be a little much of the same after a while. But still, cute.

Repeater by Fugazi
Jul 05 2024

Hmmmm iguess not for me

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Jul 10 2024

oeps listened to in a doghouse instead of throwing muses. Tag is wrong but the music was still fun. The throwing muses album is better tho. Pleasantly surprised I loved the punky vibe

1977 by Ash
Aug 14 2024

Ja catchy, opzich wel fun. Idk of t echt in deze lijst hoort maar ik ben geen expert

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Sep 20 2024

There’s something so sugar sweet about this album and she lays it on us so gently. Giving this a truly good listen really uncovers all the depths that get overlooked or maybe even hidden when hearing this on the radio. I never knew why this is so good, I guess I still don’t know why, now I just know it is

Vespertine by Björk
Sep 27 2024

I really wanted to like this and then I did! I like her as a person but the first two songs it didn’t click. And then somewhere along the third song I got it. You just get transported

Fragile by Yes
Oct 10 2024

Roundabout :)))))))) actually quote liked this

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 15 2024

Letsgooo well known favorite on this album take five! Great to wake up with.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Oct 19 2024

Well not my favorite but I said I love the smiths

Oct 21 2024

Although it’s not as bad as swordfish trombones it’s still not for me. I get why a very niche group of people might like this but I just can’t relate to the in my opinion substance lacking storytelling. I just can’t deal with the voice I guess. And it’s not because I don’t get jazz I love jazz. The setting feels unauthentic tho

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 16 2024

Hmm mediocre other albums are more enjoyable

Moon Safari by Air
Nov 23 2024

There’s this review, you might’ve seen it, it starts like this: Have you ever been out drinking with a few friends and it gets to that late hour where you can either go home or get weird? And he explains beautifully how this album is like when you decide to get weird. But I think he forgets to mention that somehow this album is both. It’s like when you get to that moment of the night and decide to go home as well. Saying goodbye to your friends who bravely accept the weird while you accept the quiet of the night. Lying drunk on your bed while the room is spinning, spacing out, waiting for the inevitable existential crisis to overflow your brain. But like, in a good way? This album just lures you into the parallel this truly album is. People who don’t like this probably never tried drugs… good for them!!

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Dec 01 2024

Gorgeous what can I say. Especially loved Anne’s song and sparrow.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Dec 03 2024

Lovely way to start the day

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Dec 07 2024

Hmm has like 2/3 Nice songs on it and the rest is uncomfortable noise

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 14 2025

Like some of it is cool, but it mostly makes me nervous so

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 08 2025

Never listened to the full album before but its all just as good as Fast car. It’s like one big story about everything she observes, making big systemic injustice feel personal and personal matters feel large and important.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Feb 18 2025

Delicious

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 01 2025

Definitly not my favorite radiohead album

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jun 15 2025

Its fun but not special

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 26 2025

Started off as something I thought I woudlnt like, for a very brief surprising moment I liked it, and then it was too whiney for me again. Glad I dont like it because the dude turn out to be… lets say not a great person

Homework by Daft Punk
Jun 27 2025

Okay so obviously around the world banger! Da funk yes but the rest of it… BUT I LOVE INTERSTELLA 555 so dont judge

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 29 2025

This one review really took the words right out of my mouth so im just gonna copy paste it: “Did I enjoy the sound of this album? Yes definitely! Did I enjoy some of the lyrics? Yes! Did I enjoy all of the lyrics? Fuck no! (but that's kind of the point right?) Eminem's storytelling is so good and the songs are so catchy it does hold my attention, even if the misogyny does get tiring. Last couple of songs lost me a bit but otherwise I enjoyed this more than I expected.” Shoutout to the author!

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Jul 06 2025

I think there are a lot more albums that would represent R&B or electronic R&B better than this. Beautiful vocals but thats all there is to it. Lyrically it provides nothing. Though it apparently made the list for being experimental, I would say its basic and overdone (or maybe just not done right?). Maybe in another lifetime I will appreciate this. Vocals are great tho!
