1001 Albums Summary

3.5/5 Deep southern rock sounds with a very strong lead guitar and throaty vocals. La Granges guitar riff is a classic

Great range and tone. Guitars sounded great and the drums were good in the mix. I loved the lyrics and the lead singers voice. The short songs make this an addictive listen.

Major Americana but wasn't for me. I liked some of the lyrics and the simple yet driving guitars

Reminded me of a scoring for night rider or a futuristic LA detective noir. Good background music for video games

I enjoyed the sound of the crowd and love performance. The lead singer had great lyrics and the upbeat tempo made it a fun listen

Noodly jazz meant for a reflective city day

Fun album with interesting lyrics

Warehouse 90s techno

Kurt Cobain acoustic but it is the version I've consistently heard

French sounding late 90s techno. Enjoyed "Sexy Boy" and ce matin la

Female Earl Sweatshirt type of album. 2019

Shoegaze-y opiod rock. Relaxing

Relaxing Indi pop

Wonky cabaret music. Westworld-y

Young snoop dogg going off. Unique layered sounds with the classic LA hip hop aesthetic

Soulful live set with James Brown energy but a wonderful tenderness

Back half of the album had some good instrumental breaks but overall it felt a bit corny

Not for me. Rough vocals

Indie group that reminded me a bit of Father John Misty

Like a long sunny trip on a drunk summers day

First song is a classic

Good bongos. Some darker tracks

Classic. Sad and a bit soulful

Some interesting deeper cuts including break beat

Janis Joplin is an instrument

Melancholy

Easy listening. Some nice Solos. Really liked the song Pam

Felt like a masterpiece. Great range

Nice eclectic UK indie rock. Was surprised by the range

Some classics and some corny ones

Heavy and a bit dark but upbeat

Unique southern psychedelic rock journey. Bob Dylan meets Burt Bacharach

Lower key and more Victorian than expected. Fun ride

Vibey. Almost a jam band at points. A few really poignant songs

Some high energy classics. Night train was a good one

Too mellow

Great energy. Liked every song

Live blues from 1960. Soulful but upbeat

I can appreciate the history and the background with Brian Eno and the fact that it was going to be a film score. Standalone it is just an odd film score of an album

The end of the album had some great surprises. Sucker for 2003 hip hop

Heavy queen with some rippers. Freddy holding it down as always. Loved hearing a new range to the band as a casual listener

Alternative rock about the young woman Melody Nelson. All French. Spicy

80s vibe with some great lyrics. Has some seeds of Alex Cameron for me personally

Groovy with some tasty guitar licks. Liked the song happy man and the somber "at last I am free"

Classic for me. Butter is my favorite

Next time I'm in LA I'll be listening to this album in stop and go traffic. Really captures the culture

I couldn't finish this

Great lyrics and space in the songs. Powerful story behind take it all

Brooding

Fuego beats and weird lyrics I fully support

Classic with fun interludes. The songs also stand alone and are great

Barren desert road trip energy. 8am at burning man kind of feeling. The Reggae remix of Clint Eastwood is fun

Raw pure emotion. One of my all time favorites

Dreary

Groovy. Great sound and lyrics

Early rock and roll feeling but this came out in 71. Good music but nothing stuck with me

The first song turned me off a bit but every song after was great and felt like it was coming from a new creative space each time

Really creative album. My favorite part are the grooves, with the staccatos on the keys. It feels like the natural evolution of Outkast and I appreciated the Andre 3000 feature paying homage. Over the years I have revisited each track multiple times and it remains one of my favorite albums

Sleepy beats.. had that French sample/breakbeat electronica that I appreciate. My favorite was "Nothing can stop us"

Love 60s psychedelic rock. This sounds very original. I see myself revisiting some of the songs

I enjoyed Bob's voice on this one as opposed to some of the later albums of his. Lyrics were soulful, somber, dare I say historic

Some of the album sounded like 80s cheese but the eclecticism brought some timelessness and the good was great

Some good beats and rhythms. Good stretch album but I won't be revisiting it

Chorus backing vocals were nice. So many flesh references and metaphors. Thoughtful lyrics but not for me

Loved the mixing and Al Greens lyrics and tempo. One of my favorite albums so far

I enjoyed the backstory on the church and appreciated it as a theme I'm the album. The existential lyrics were haunting but enjoyable

Haunting dreamy palate. The Seinfeld bass line in the first song was a trip. I liked the instrumentals but the lyrics did not resonate as much.

Some nice ambient tracks but nothing that really hit me

Big pop with a lot of moans

The sax was grooving. I liked the song She is Mine

I liked the palate and story telling

That 90s dreary acid wash sound. Hoping to check out the Vanishing Point movie to get a better sense of the energy

I liked the range across styles. The title track is a classic

Solid rock

Has the best of Leonard Cohen from what I have heard so far

A bit corny but it has some grooves. Would enjoy this work more as a live experience

Great range. Not sure if it was the edibles but one of my favorites

Not very inspiring but some solid 60s rock

Crazy energy. Great harmonies. That snare needs to be retired

I appreciate George Clinton and have seen him live but I can't get through this bands studio albums

Strong theme throughout and some nice love ballada

Solid rock and roll with some surf punk energy

So many great songs

One of a kind but so deep in the American songbook it is difficult to hear fresh

A few classics on here. I really enjoyed the production and the nice layers they have in their songs. Hazy shade of winter was a new pick up from this listen

Not the best tone. Felt disjointed but the harmonies were pretty cool

More palatable than expected

I liked the strong emotion behind it and the iconic tones

I enjoyed learning about the history of the album and the circumstances: 9/11 release, pendant charges, Kanye debut,.Just Blaze, Eminem solo feature, recorded in 2 days

Felt like it was just ahead of its time and inspired Simon and Garfunkel

Good cheese

Metal Nirvana big angst

Introspective and a very interesting way. Wouldve liked to hear some different sounds but they are in a good groove

Too much pop for my taste

Not bad. Couldn't really get into the tone of his voice on this one

This jazz slaps. Street life was my favorite

I enjoyed many of the songs including set the scene. Each song has substance

A bit disorienting as it truly feels like 4 albums with all of the genre changes. Shout-out to "Corona" known widely as the jackass theme song. I liked some of the raw lyrics in the song "shit from an old notebook" but felt like a lot of this didn't hang together

Unique sound and stirring lyrics. The bass lines were my favorite

I liked the spookiness on the song electricity but I think this album can't get a fairshake until it is remastered or in a different format. The audio was a muddy as the bayou waters

I enjoyed the sensuality of "Sledgehammer" and was surprised to hear Kate Bush on love ballad "Don't give up"

Not much resonates. Dingy bar energy

Great jazzy palate and a wonderful voice. "Fuck me pumps" had fun lyrics

The first song "Good Times" is a classic. Even though it is very disco the production holds up

Hard to listen to sober.

I enjoyed the songs you're good for me and you can't move them all - which has a really fun Spanish guitar and brass. Very soulful

Unique sound I've returned to for easy listening

An album that sounded like the cornerstones of a great band. The instrumentation was fantastic. My favorite song was the opening track,

I enjoyed the more upbeat songs and the lyricism is one of her finest qualities. My favorite song was help me

A lot of classic songs but a bit flat for me

The back story of Elvis joining the army and having this as his next release is epic. Deep album

Very relaxing

Not for me

Good as it gets for late 90 s rock
