1001 Albums Summary

good, sweet, fine

Nice, fun, sweet

The first and last songs go hard. Otherwise fun, fine.

Super fun listen. Interesting to hear the individual contributions blend into a whole. Bonham just so good.

Fun to dance to, good working grooves. Simple, kind of brutal in a way.

Sounds almost like a parody in retrospect. Snooty and fun. Terrible remixes on the deluxe/remastered edition though, wow.

So nice, so thoughtful. Kind of deceptively relaxing. I want to come back to it and see what hits past that - there's a lot going on under the texture and the deft sampling and the approachable vibe.

Feels warm and nostalgic to revisit this. It's still great. So many albums by men, though.

Fun, yeah, yeyyeeayaahhh. Can't get over the extreme panning on old albums.

Every element adds up so nicely. Surprisingly melodic. Tracey Thorn ♡

Sweeties. Glimmers of future Paul. I always wonder what Garfunkel thought about all of it but I don't really care enough to go find out.

Oh for heaven's sake. Sitting on the floor of our living room, breaking out my parents' vinyl collection for the first time, liking a boy (or so I thought).

Aw, here she is. I love her so much. "Desired Constellation" is just what I need. A lot of this holds up beyond proof of concept, almost 20 years later. She could release it next year and nobody would blink.

eh boy. Never listened to it front to back, won't need to again.

It's great, still. I want to read about it though. Specific vocal moments stand out to me from hearing this play in the car as a child. Linda Ronstadt who is nobody's backup anything (thanks Mom).

Who gets to be an outlaw, eh? Nothing on Willie, but the fact that a white country singer can write an entire album about committing murder in adulterous rage and be celebrated for it... makes you go hmm, non? Otherwise, yeah, I see the appeal and the excellence but can take it or leave it.

He looks so young. He sounds so young. I can hear, like, milk in his voice. Innocence.

Kinda boring but also mixed really weird? Like it doesn't feel cohesive, it seems like every part is coming from a different room in a haunted house

Hell yeah. It's just really really good. Familiar but surprising. Nice touches.

This is the first album that's been totally new to me, no context, no familiarity. Feels classic, like atmosphere music. Nice touches.

This kind of careful, precise 60s pop isn't my thing, but I can hear that it's good. Not sorry I listened.

It's just nice and fun and cute and great

Music like this is sort of more silly than it is scary.

I wasn't expecting to be kind of bored by this one, but alas, I was

I can hear how it's a demo, or how Dave Grohl thought of it as a collection of ideas. Good ideas.

I really like this band, I do. I LOVE John Bonham's drumming. Everything drips with alchemy.

How was this the first time I've ever sat down and listened to this album front to back, but I'm pretty sure I've heard each individual song before. Tell me this isn't a pop masterpiece.

I thought he was more raucous than this? Maybe he is sometimes. This reminds me of the music my grandparents loved.

PHASER. I'm glad this exists but it's not for me.

I want to go on a road trip just to listen to this album while I'm driving. Very good beginning-of-the-week or beginning-of-the-weekend energy.

I think I like this album more than I feel like I like it right now. It's a mood that I'm not in.

Ionno, it's the Beatles

It's good. I wish there were more Ali Farka Touré and less Ry Cooder but I guess I know where to go for that.

Not my favourite genre but I'm interested in the energy behind it, in the performances, the story about the production. Four stars as a note to self.

Have I heard this album before? How do I recognize so many of the songs? Not bad, not my thing.

Mostly boring?

It's fun and good

Another one that I can hear is good but isn't for me. The waify female "can't you see" stuff... nah

Another "good but not my thing" thing!

Yet another not-my-thing thing

Ionno, it's Bob Dylan

Fun for parties?

Fun and cute but not my thing

Fun

meh

It feels energetic and fresh 23 years on

Community radio cool

2-3 bangers, otherwise meh

She's just so great when she's good.

It's great

I can tell it's great but not really my thing

yyyyeah this is the stuff

Fun, some really good songs, probably won't go back to it

It's great but not for me I guess

like most Bowie, I appreciate it more than I feel it. Lazarus and I Can't Give Everything Away are great though.

The songs' endings are so weird? Like the story is still being told when it abruptly fades

pretty good!

Weird and fun

Fun and messy and great

This is the kind of music I imagine my mom's friends listening to and LOVING. Four-starring to come back to it later

It's fine? it's Oasis

that one line on that one song
