1001 Albums Summary

It’s a classic of course. Production is great and some songs are great (starman, suffragette city, five years) others feels like filler.

Life on Mars? is one of the greatest song ever written. BEst Bowie album for me. The use of piano is also top notch

Classic rock. Mix of blues and folk and rock. The mix could be clearer. 2 stars

Such a great album. So much classic songs. Slash is rocking his Les Paul, Axel is in top form. 4 stars

Great album ! 4 stars.

What an album. Great mix of folk, blues, jazz. Piano is amazing and Van Morisson voice is a delight to listen to

Well it’s Joni Mitchell. Was not a fan, still not a fan. Stories are interesting but I can’t get past the tone and rythme of her singing.

Not my style at all. Production is good. Her voice is powerful. But those lyrics are cheesy af

Well that was a surprise. Lots of classic but they have a total other feel when in context of the album. Very enjoyable

Simply a Masterpiece ! 5/5

Interesting. Guitar is very well recorded.

Feels so intimist. Dylan lyrics at its best. 3 stars

Well produce. Great rhythm section. Marvin flow is legendary. Talking about his divorce with so much truth must of been hard for him. Unfortunately, it’s not my style at all. 3 stars

Lauryn Hill as good flow. The album starts of great for the first part but it lingers a bit too long. Could have been 50-55 min instead of 80. 3 stars

Intriguing. Feels like a mix of Dylan and Billy Joel. Not a fan of the choir back vocals. 3 stars

You can hear how it influenced lots of the 80s. David Byrne may have started the whole new wave genre just by himself. I respect that. But I don’t like new wave. 3 stars

Too slow for my taste. More like elevator music.

What a great album. That voice is dreamy. Si powerful. I had chills more than one time listening to this album. Nina Simone is one of the best jazz singer of all times. 4 stars

What a storyteller. Great guitar work. The production could be better. Neil Young voice is sometimes blurry. 3 stars

This is bad. Generic. Well mixed but that’s a gimme with pop artist. Lyrically deficient. Unimaginative beats. 1 star

That’s such a personal and sincere album. Tracy Chapman is a great guitarist and a gifted lyricist. 5 stars

Weird lyrics aside this is a good metal album. Lemmy as such a raw voice. Good solos. Some songs sound the same. 3 stars

Lyrically charged. Ice cube flow is as good as ever. 3 stars

That was painful.

Not my cup of tea. Björk is weirdly in her place in that new wave/pop/humor album. Better than her later stuff. 2 stars.

Great album. Me and Bobby McGee is not even the best song on this one. 4 stars

Old country. Just ok. 2 stars

Intriguing ! It’s almost prog. Still very “exotic” for my taste but will listen again soon. 3 stars.

It feels like listening to the birth of punk yet it isn't. It feels like listening to a band that inspired the Ramones yet It came out after the Ramones debut. It feels like I would remember those songs as some are very good yet I couldn't sing one 5 minutes after it ended. 3 stars

Superb album. A true classic 4 stars

That’s a weird one. So generic yet very fun. Couple of memorable songs without great parts and a couple of forgettable songs with great bits. 3 stars

I only knew hallelujah and was quite surprise by the rest of the album. I still think that his untimely death contributed to his aura. Still it’s a decent album. 3 stars

A masterpiece !

Wow ! Never heard that album before. Quickly became one of my favorite. RZA beats are out of this world. GZA is a master of flow as always ! 5 stars

It’s not a bad album but you have to enjoy Morissey tone and flow. Kinda bland and generic. Morissey whines and is trying to sound intellectual but fails often. Also he is a racist idiot. 2 stars

Beck is so eclectic. This a great example of that. Good songs trough out but some don’t make a lasting impression. 3 stars

Classic. Simon and Gartfunkel have written a great anti-war album. 29 min for 12 song is very low for today standards. Great production. Great lyrics. Guitar works is legendary.

Few artist are able to pull off a change from acoustic to electric in the same show. Dylan can’t either. I understand why Dylan was a folk icon but I still have trouble with the over use of harmonica. He is a much better poet. 2 stars

That’s a great album. Love the guitar work. And storytelling.

That was a fun discovery. Really sets the base for what Cooder will later do in his career. 4 stars.

Oh that voice…. I’d rather have root canal without analgesics than listen to that again. 1star

The music is really interesting. Feels like prog and is genuinely very good. But the lyrics and voice kills the vibe. 2 stars

I don’t get the Smiths. Pretentious pseudo rock with a touch of disco ? And Morrissey besides being an idiot isn’t a good singer. 1 star

Bof. Some bangers but didn’t pass the test of time. 2 stars

Good album. Really gets the vibe of the era. It’s surprisingly well produced. 3 stars

It’s ok. Pretty generic edm from the era. 2 stars

Great album. Acoustic guitar is very well recorded. Lots of great political songs. 4 stars.

Great story teller. Music is fun. If you don’t read the lyrics or understand satire you will not like this album. 3 stars

That’s a masterpiece. And the 2022 Remix is bliss. 5 stars

Well that was fast. I understand why it’s a staple of punk. It’s raw, powerful and quick. But 16 min is a bit short for a whole album. 2 stars

Well that was a hard listen. It feels like 70s country music without the fun. Jump in any elevator in the US and you will hear something similar. 1 stars

I recognize the craft but it seems like it’s stuck in a loop. 2 stars

Pop but interesting 3 stars

Good for him for having pkayed all instrument. But it seems just too incoherent to me. 2 stars

Well, it’s country with a noisy voice. 2 stars

That was a fun ride. Surprising indeed. 4 stars

Not that great. Fits well in to the 2010ish Indie rock trend. Seems like it wants to be different but fails. 2 stars

While I’m not a fan of Lauryn Hill or Wyclef Jean as solo artists The Score is a great album. A bit of everything, different styles, different flow. A bit too long. 3 stars

Intriguing. Sounds like The Rolling Stones sometimes. Seems like a lot of riff from the 80s and 90s comes from this one. 3 stars

Classic Em. It didn’t grow up very well but it’s easy to understand why it change the hip hop scene. 3 stars

That’s a classic masterpiece. 5 stars

Sounds pretty good. Classic country from the 70s. The guy can play guitar. 3 stars.

Cool live album. Must of been a great show. 4 stars

Classic Stones. The country version of Honky Tonk Woman is fun. What a guitar line to open the album. 4 stars

Well it’s the 80s and not on the good side or the 80s. 2 stars

Classic album. Beck is showing his great talents on every song. 4 stars.

5 stars. Precursor of so many metal genres. It’s a staple of how to write great riffs and of how doom metal should be made.

Eclectic bunch. You can feel they are having fun. A mix of a bunch of genres, unfortunately they are not very good at a bunch of them. Still enjoyable. 3 stars.

It’s a singer songwriter album. Same guitar riffs, same voice modulation. It suck’s.

Great mix of "rock songs" and folk. Bob Dylan is an excellent poet and it shows. Great Album.4 stars

Now that's blues rock ! 5 stars

There is a reason why the stone are still touring. They are a great rock band. This album is one of their best work. Listen to those guitars. 5 stars

Now that’s prog ! I’m not a fan of Geddy Lee’s voice but the musicianship of the three together is mesmerizing. Listen to that drum ! 5 stars

Amazing.

It’s pop rock at its peek. 3 stars

Wow that's so well produced ! Not a fan of the backing vocals on most of the album but it's still a classic. 4 stars

Superb voice. Great production. Way outside my usual comfort zone. Still loved it. 4 stars

American Sex Pistols. While the production of Joan Jett makes it feel like a live album, it doesn't hold up to todays standard. And that voice is atrocious. 2 stars

Modern classic 5 stars.

Another easy 5 stars by the Beatles. It’s interesting to hear all the influence on this one. While the lyrics are so so the music is truly groundbreaking for its time.

Weirdly nice album. Was surprised but not put off by it. All good musician. Production leaves some to be desired. 3 stars.

If you like repetitive agressive boring music that might be for you. But be aware that they do nothing of those thing quite well. 1 stars

Great album once again by Radiohead. 4 stars

Paul Simon is a great signer song writer and Graceland is his iconic solo album. Now it's just not for me as I don't enjoy the synth or the backing vocals. 3 stars

A bit too long but that was fun. 3 stars

Well it started well with great funk beats and guitars.... then we got the pretention papa was a rolling stone. Clearly doesn't need a 12 min runtime. And then s*it hits the fan... do woop balads ? hell nah. 2 stars

Easy 5 stars

I’d rather get myself papercuts and drown them in vinegar than listen to this again.

Great album. While Neil young voice is particular after a while, the rest of the band and the different textures of this album makes it an easy listen. 4 stars

well it's 1959 country. We are past that and it's for the best. 1 stars

Not bad even if it’s all over the place. 3 stars

Great dance album.

That was ok. You can hear the 80s « indie » rock throughout. Kinda boring. 2 stars

sounds like early punk. feels like early punk... i guess if you like punk you might enjoy that. I don't 2 stars

What a debut album ! 5 stars

Not bad at all. Different from other beach boys album. 4 stars

It's undeniable that Prince as a great talent. It's pop, lots of vocal pops and ueh and unh. Production is very 80s and does't really hold up. Those drums are thin..... 3 stars

ouch that's pop and it sucks 2 stars

that's elevator music with some rythm. 2 stars

It’s a good album that showcase why the Who were such a good live band 4 stars

Great guitar works and grooves. 4 stars

Thats ok but so repetitive. 2 stars

WoW ! That first track is something else. 4 stars

It’s pop. But good pop. 3 stars

It’s fun yet repetitive. 3 stars.

well another weird album by Eno. 2 stars

Great album with lots of classics. These guitar tones are a guitarist dream. 4 stars

It was ground breaking. Sounds dated in 2024. Still some very good songs 3 stars.

that was a really interesting listen. But way too long and "spacey". 2 stars

Not bad but generic. 2 stars

I'd rather have vinegar pour into a wound than listen to that again. 1 star

That was a fun little show. Very well recorded for the era. 3 stars

not bad but kinda repetitve. 2 stars

Classic

While Beatles are a easy 5 stars, the shite album is my least favorite so it’s going to be 5 stars

Some classic riff! 3 stars

So powerful. 5 stars

Great album. A classic 4 stars

fun rock album

Another Bowie album that I understand why it's on that list. Quirky at times, well paced at first and then a change into instrumental ambient music. Well done. I just don't enjoy Bowie very much. 3 stars

Fun album. chaotic at times.

Classic Coldplay. Some good songs but overall insignificant
