1001 Albums Summary

Very solid album. I liked a lot of songs, my favorite is probably either show girl or star struck

Some good moments but it wasn’t that good all around.

It was good but kinda overstayed it’s welcome

I like how varied it is.

Good as background music but kinda boring if you’re listening to it alone.

I liked it a lot more than I expected Probably closer to a 3.5 though

Not as good as I expected 2.7

I dont know what it was, but I REALLY liked this album

I was expecting to like this album and I liked it even more than I expected.

I’m never going to listen to this again but it was interesting this time.

Some REALLY good songs and some REALLY meh songs.

Pretty good. At first I thought it was a 4, but then I realized I’m gonna be listening to this album a lot, something I can’t say about most albums on here.

I didn’t expect to like this album just based on what I heard about it beforehand, but wow, I REALLY liked this album. I don’t know if I’ll feel the same way in a week but I think I’ll be listening to this album for a long time.

No more Mr nice guy is my fav so far

Didn’t expect to like it, but I did. I think I’m realizing I just have a really diverse taste in music. I still don’t love the vocals, but I was able to get over it.

Was okay the whole way through, but I got kinda bored.

Another one that I had zero expectations for and ended up loving. Albums like that are why I’m liking 1001 so much.

One more chance could’ve been good, but the beginning was so obnoxious that it kinda ruined it for me. What have I done to deserve this was pretty good but not fantastic Shopping is okay. I liked it enough but wasn’t anything special. Rent was the best song so far by a large margin. I liked this one quite a bit. Hit music is also pretty good, just behind rent. I like that chorus. It couldn’t happen here wasn’t great. It’s a sin takes number one, very good song I want to wake up is good but not phenomenal Heart was good but not as good as most Kings cross is probably second or third overall Overall, album was good, but wouldn’t have been upset to skip it.

I listened to murmur about a month ago through 1001 and loved it (I gave it a 4, but I would have changed it to a 5 long ago if I could) so I have high expectations. Pop song 89 is very good. This kind of music is one of my favorites, and it is executed brilliantly here. Get up is very good but not as good as the previous track. This one sounds a little more like murmur to me. You are the everything is also very good. I love accordions in music (probably because of my love of They Might be Giants) so I welcomed them here with open arms. Stand! Oh my goodness! I know this song! I had no idea this was an R.E.M song. It’s very good as well. World leader pretend is another excellent song. Not much to say about this song other than the fact that it’s really good. The wrong child is really good. Orange crush is also really good. Turn you inside out is one of my favorites so far. Very good. I think I might be an R.E.M fan… Hairshirt is really good. I have so little to say about this album, even though I’m absolutely loving it. I will say that the lead singer has a great voice which is shown off very well here. I remember California is another excellent song. This album has the perfect amount of diversity where no two songs sound too much alike but it’s similar enough that the album doesn’t sound disconnected. Lastly, untitled. I always thought not naming songs is kind of dumb, but I’ll excuse it because of just how good this song is. This is another absolutely incredible song. Overall very very good. It’s around the same quality as murmur I think.

I know two songs from this album: Tainted love (of course) Say hello wave goodbye I really like both of those songs, so I hope I enjoy this album a similar amount Frustration was good. Wasn’t anything too special but I did enjoy it. Tainted love is extremely good of course. Everybody knows that. It’s so good. Seedy films was meh. I didn’t really like it but I didn’t hate it. Youth was also meh Sex dwarf was better than the previous two songs but still not great. Entertain me was fine Chips on my shoulder was good. Nothing much to say. Bed sitter was also good. Secret life was meh Say hello wave goodbye is really good, but I already knew that. The album isn’t fantastic. There are some more song added in a bonus or something, but I’ve truly lost interest. This a case where an album is on here purely because of a hit.

Ooh I’m excited for this one. I know a few songs by the replacements, including favorite thing, so I know I like them. I hope this albums lives up. I will dare is really good. Very catchy chorus. I’ll probably be playing that chorus in my head for a few days. Favorite thing is really good. I already knew this song, and I already knew I like it a lot. We’re coming out is also really good. It’s kinda cool how the whole attitude of the song changes partway for a second. Tommy gets his tonsil out is also great. The rip rip part is really fun. Androgynous is really cool. The choice to use piano instead the loud guitars used so far was a good choice for the song topic. Also, that “love each other so, androgynous” is gonna be stuck in my head for a looong time. Black diamond has really good guitar riffs. Great song. Unsastisfied is also amazing. So far there hasn’t been a bad song on this album, which is crazy. The vocals on this song are great. The instrumental at the beginning of seen your video was so good I assumed the whole song would be instrumental. I usually don’t love instrumental songs, but that instrumental part was REALLY good. And the vocals at the end are super good as well, which is unsurprising at this point. Gary’s got a boner has awesome guitars. The solos after the choruses are so incredibly good. Sixteen blue has great lyrics. Captures the confusions of being a teenager very well. Answering machine is also great. It’s really sad but in a weird way, which is exactly the kind of sad I like in music. 20th century boy is the first song which wasn’t included in the original albums. It’s good. Not much to say. One of the weaker songs. Perfectly lethal is great. After the previous song, I was worried the rest of the album would be disappoint, but this song is on par with the main album. Temptation eyes has a really good chorus. Not as good as that one line in androgynous, but close. Answering machine - solo home demo is interesting. Answering machine was probably one of my favorites, and the crappy microphone used in this version helps set the mood the album was going for. However, it’s one person. Meaning there are no drums. I’m not crazy about drums, but nobody can deny they are very important. However, the song is still really good, and I like the bad microphone, so it’s still amazing. Maybe a little bit worse than the original. Heartbeat is a lovebeat has such a catchy chorus. This one will be stuck in my head along side many others from this album. This version of sixteen blue is pretty much the same level of quality in my opinion. Which is good. Overall: wow, another album I really like. I was excited for this album and it exceeded my expectations. It’s so so so good.

I’ve already got one other echo and the bunny album, it was pretty good. Don’t really have any expectations. The cutter is quite good. I forgot how good of a voice this guy has. The instrumental is also great Back of love is also good. Catchy chorus. My white devil is also great. I already said it, but I really like this guys voice. Clay is great. I’m enjoying this album more than I expected… Porcupine, despite being the title track, was weak in my opinion. Still good, but not as a good as the rest. It picks up at the end though. Heads will roll is also really good. Ripeness is also really good. I really can’t get over how much I like this guys voice. On ocean rain, I liked it, but I didn’t think it was incredible. To be fair, that wasn’t my second album, this one is in the 70s. Maybe this has changed my music taste. I’m currently having a mental battle in my head whether to give this 5 star, cause I’ve got a 5 star album yesterday and 3 days ago and I feel like I’m being too generous. We’ll see though. Higher hell is also good. This one of those albums I can’t particularly decide why I’m enjoying it so much, but it just feels like a 5. I’m enjoying this thoroughly. Gods will be gods is good. Not anything special but not bad enough to take away from my current ranking. Bluer skies is in a similar spot to the previous track. Fuel is the last of the original songs, so I’ll stop my song by song ratings here. And it’s good. Not incredible but good. Overall: very good, but I’m starting to lean away from 5 star. Mainly because of the fact that as soon as it was done, I wanted to listen to yesterday’s albums again. Still good though.

A few good songs but I got really tired of it by the end. The good songs were pretty good though, and I don’t like hip-hop.

I enjoyed the whole thing but it was kinda forgettable. Highlights were Sex beat She’s like heroin to me For the love of ivy (felt like a continuation of she’s like heroin) I think I will listen to this again in the future, but it didn’t really grab me like many other albums have. I still enjoyed the whole thing though, and there were enough good songs for it to be a 4.

Not a rap guy but this album intrigued me. I still don’t love most of the vocals, but it had more interesting melodies than most rap I’ve heard. Maybe I’ve just heard the wrong rap though. I still didn’t love it, but I think im gonna listen again in the future and see if my opinion has changed by then. For now though, it’s probably the most I’ve ever enjoyed rap.

I knew psycho killer, but I was surprised to desicover the entire album is that level of quality. I was surprised how much I liked this.

Some songs I liked, some songs I didn’t.

Huh, I just got 77 2 days ago. I really liked it, so I’m more than down to listen to this album. In the end, it’s very good, but I definitely liked 77 more.

I love weirdo music

Y’know, after getting some other albums, I thought I might actually like rap. This album made me rethink that. This album actually made me feel unpleasant.

This album cemented my belief that country isn’t bad, only modern country is.

Normally, I’m meh on hip-hop/rap. I’m a music first listener, so I usually enjoy the melodic stuff. However, this is really good. Probably my favorite hip hop album as of now. Favorite song: No Woman, No Cry

The beats were very groovy, but the lyrics were full of mysogyny, violence, and homophobia . At first I was gonna knock it down a point for that, but I decided I can enjoy the music even if I disagree with it. Mid to high 4. Favorite track: express yourself

I feel like such a contrarian, but it’s nice to listen to an album that sounds like nothing else I’ve heard before.

A very fun album. I enjoyed it the whole way through, but I was ready for it to be over by the end. Favorite song: Favorite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)

I enjoyed how the music was constantly shifting, always staying interesting instead of dwelling on a single idea for too long and becoming stale. I liked this significantly more than I expected. Very good background music that still stays entertaining

This album means a lot to me

This was my most anticipated album on 1001 and it exceeded my expectations
