1001 Albums Summary

It's alright

To quote a Youtuber, "Did Dr. Dre have to spend the entirety of The Chronic telling Eazy-E to eat a dick?"

I can’t not think about Jack Black singing this

One of my favorite albums already, but it was good listening through again.

This is infinitely more insufferable than George Harrison's Eastern obsession. Working Class Hero should be the anthem for /r/iamverysmart.

Why is everything so long. And so loud?

Solid album, but Mother is definitely one of the worst songs I've ever heard. It's like if that running joke from The Suicide Squad about Polka Dot Man's mother was condensed into a song and it was recorded while Sting had a vicegrip clamped to his nutsack.

Goated Christmas album and Sleigh Ride is the best Christmas song of all time. Obligatory Phil Spector can burn in hell though.

Hammond Organ

It’s an ACDC album for sure

I don't much care for British people

Solid first half, then tapers off a bit.

Solid. Johnny Marr is great, but Morissey can definitely suck a chode.

DEARLY BELOVED

The definition of hurnga durnga rock

For some reason the whole album reminds me of that spoken word part in Thriller. Solid album tho

This is nice

First half is strong, but unfortunately it’s just too long so that knocks it down a star.

Great album, but loses a star for length.

If I wanted to be yelled at by Brits for an hour I’d watch Love Island. Good album tho

Honestly better than I expected, but sounds exactly like what my friend who knew of him would listen to.

Definitely a solid "album" in the sense that all the songs flow together extremely well. The album is just a bit too slow for my tastes.

Great lyrics, but just not my vibe.

This was much more enjoyable than I thought and it makes me feel like the Ranger with the Big Iron on his hip

Better than I expected from the reviews, but still not very entertaining as an album.

This rocks harder than I expected.

I'm realizing I just really can't stand British people for a prolonged period of time. Solid tracks but wears after a while.

This sounds like a discount child of Lou Reed and Springsteen.

The definition of a 5/10

"Waiting on a Sunny Day" has always been one of my favorite songs, but this is just way too long.

I can’t do this for an hour

I almost died in Temecula

Am I depressed?

To quote Todd in the Shadows: "I'M A LONELY LITTLE BOY AND I WANT TO BE LOVED. I'M A LONELY LITTLE GUY AND I NEED A HUG AGGHHHUGHAHWWW" One is great though.

I like Jazz

This sounds like what Bullseye would listen to in that crappy early 2000s Ben Afleck Daredevil movie.

This got tedious

Buttrock

This aint it, chief

I didn't know I needed a 18 minute jam session.

This was nice

This is a great album, but Morrissey can eat a dick.

I forgot how good Jesus of Suburbia is

Swanky

This is an album. The people that said every song is memorable are delusional, because this album kind of blended into a half hour of British dudes. I get the influence, but with 60 years of influenced music after there's better stuff out there.

Wait, this was their DEBUT album?

Yacht Rock, but like, REALLY good Yacht Rock

Really good Peter Gabriel like music

My My, Hey Hey is incredible but my god I can't stand Neil Young albums please make them stop.

This is alright, but an album you need to listen to? Naw.

Love me some Hammond Organ

I'm sure this is influential and I'm glad I know about it, but definitely not for me.

I can see how this is influential, but yeah not for me

It's no Invisible Touch, but this is pretty solid. I had no idea this was Peter Gabriel either.

This is straight dog water

I was not expecting this to be incredible.

The definition of "mid"

Not my cup of tea, but a solid album.

Neil Young still sounds like a muppet, but this is at least bearable.

The singles are great, but everything else really isn't. Also this reminds me of all the annoying stoners I know that dress like the album art.

THROW ON YOUR CLOTHES THE SECOND SIDE OF SURFER ROSA AND YOU LEAVE ME WITH MY JAW ON THE FLOOR

More Mid Brit-Pop that would soundtrack a direct-to-tv teen movie.

Otis Redding fucks bro

Didn't hate it.

Maybe ABBA doesn't suck as much as I thought.

I'd rather die than listen to another Neil Young album, but honestly this was the most tolerable one so far.

AND THE SULTANS PLAY CREOLE

As another commenter said, this definitely is something I'm glad I listened to before I die. Not my cup of tea, but definitely good background music.

This was completely different from what I expected, and almost like Stray Cats for a second. Good thing I love Stray Cats.

This is that off the wall new wave stuff I love and is an album you definitely SHOULD listen to. Surprisingly catchy.

I thought this was going to be pretentious af based on the people I know who listen to Sufjan Stevens and the titles, but this was actually really nice. 3.5 stars though for dragging on.

This was an exceptional album I would have literally never known about except for this list. Nice.

This definitely wasn't unpleasant, but as an album it's a bit long and even though the songs are distinct it does start to blend.

Creedence did better covers

Haven't listened to this in years but, besides a few duds, this album is incredible. Mercy Street in particular (and it's cover by the Knife) is a great track.

Why does this remind me of Cut the Crap by the Clash and why is My Sharona suddenly in my head

Samba Fucks

Honestly not bad. I expected the band that inspired Nirvana to sound more like the Butthole Surfers, but I can get behind some of this.

Did not expect this to hit so hard.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Thank god Yellow isn't on here though.

Suddenly I'm motivated to retake Atzlan

Dunununununununuh DUN DUN dunununununuh DUN DUN drrrrrr

One thing this list showed me is that I absolutely love old Jazz and Blues. Great stuff.

Why does this sound like the soundtrack to NBA Jam?

I had my headphones at max volume previously for a Zoom meeting and accidentally blew my eardrums out with mid-tier yacht rock. I can't think of a worse way to go deaf.

My dad told me to listen to this when it first came out and I didn't... I miss the White Stripes

Not bad, but just middle of the road Brit Pop

That's some really good Hammond organ

I had the chance to see ELO a few months ago and most of these songs live are incredible. The story behind “Concerto for a rainy day” and the move from Steppin’ Out to Mr. Blue Sky really is incredible. Great album.

I am a day on Simon Le Bon hater, but this is pretty good.

This sounds like if Fever Ray was British. And sucked.

This album made me pregnant and I'm a man

I'd rather be nuked than listen to Homelands again.

If Ed Sheeran really did put Van the Man on the jukebox it would definitely cause a murder suicide.

The Brother's Gallagher can eat chode, but Champagne Supernova, She's Electric, and Roll With It are not bad.

Every time The Cars come on my dad repeats a story about how when he saw them they were the most boring act he'd ever seen and they got shown up by Wang Chung or the Fixx or someone. Anywho, my thoughts are that Ric Ocasek just really likes repeating the same thing over and over again. 3 stars only because Living on Stereo is a masterpiece.

LEONARD BERENSTEIN

Not the 90s buttrock voice

I forgot how hilarious misogyny and sexual assault are. Oh wait, they never were and this is cringe now and was cringe then. There's not one song on this album I'd listen to in my normal playlist.

Hardbass is Better

I thought I could do it, but sadly I could not.

Essential Dadcore

Not as good as the other one.

Damn them white boys can play

WHEN THAT WHITE GIRL MUSIC START PLAYING. I still feel like I'm going to be sacrificed to a cult though.

I just can't stand unplugged in general.

I learned today I can't do Janis Joplin

Why Lazy Sunday kinda GOAT'ed tho

Decent yacht rock, but ultimately just goes on a little bit too long.

I love you Dusty

I feel like if I sang these songs to a girl now I'd get punched

I think I just don't like reggae

I need to do more drugs apparently.

This was quite pleasant.

Quality Yacht Rock

Just no

Just like early Beatles this sounds extremely primitive, but you can start seeing some of the foundations being laid.

I understand the political and social advocacy, but I just can't do Reggae

Haven't heard this since high school, but this still holds up and I think it sounds better now.

Just Cringe.
