1001 Albums Summary

The instrumentation is awesome, but the lyrics are fairly cringe for most of it. Best track: Everything Will Be Alright

Wow I've never sat and listened to this album all the way through and it's just incredible. The only bummer is it gets pretty country toward the back half. Favorite song: I've Seen That Movie Too

Was honestly surprised how much I enjoyed this one. Not my style of music usually but this was great. Favorite song: Hate and War - caveat for the last verse

I can tell that real skill went into this, but it's just not really for me.

Some really compelling and powerful vocals, and it's clear that she's setting a precedent that will be emulated for decades to come. However, her voice does bug me a little in some of the songs.

Incredible voice, really cool and interesting artistic choices, but kinda horny for my tastes.

Just not for me. Gave me a headache

Some really incredible guitar stuff. Best song: Orange Crush

Really fun! Favorite song: Twisting the Night Away

Just too much wailing for me, personally.

Kind of more country than I normally like but WOW that guitar is AMAZING. Favorite song: Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard

This one was hard for me to rate... a lot of the sound layering was super cool, but the passive listenability is pretty low. Favorite song: The Talking Drum

Like two fun songs and the rest are meh. Weird lyrics but it didn't make me actively sad to listen to.

Easy to listen to. Beautiful voice, not really my preferred genre but it was a fun listen. Favorite song: Breakfast in Bed

What a weird album. Favorite song: Synchronicity II

I liked everything about this except the weird voice crack thing he does sometimes. Favorite song: Buggin'

Some people can cook asparagus incredibly well but I still don't want to eat it. This album is undeniably an artistic masterpiece, but I wanted to take off my headphones basically the whole time I was listening. Favorite song: Thrasher

What a weird album, but honestly I super loved this. Not sure about the vocalizations but everything else is A++. Favorite song: Chameleon

I really enjoyed the guitar and drum sections in this, and I liked the scratchy voiced vocals, but the lyrics are too irreligious for me to get into it. Favorite song: Wake Up Dead

Feels a little rougher around the edges than my favorite Beatles stuff but was still a really fun listen. Favorite song: Getting Better

These songs are way too horny for a man whose voice sounds like it's been run through a meme filter. I don't think I'd have enjoyed it anyway but that's what made this unlistenable for me.

The instrumentation in this is awesome and I really enjoyed the sound of it if when i was a little zoned out, but if I started tuning into the lyrics I liked it a lot less.

I liked the instrumentals and I enjoyed her voice a lot, but a little too discordant to be something I'd come back to often. Still a lit of fun though, went by fast.

Some of these I like but the longer ones definitely get repetitive. Some are definitely a little grating.

I liked this more than I expected. The vocals are kind of meh but otherwise I really enjoyed bopping along. Even more fun with binaural headphones.

Love the instrumentals. Lyrics felt a little goofy in a few places. Overall pretty fun but not an everyday kind of listen for me.

Contemplative in a way I really enjoyed.

A few songs I really liked and a few I really didn't.

Loved Coldplay as a kid and it's even better now. 10/10

Honestly very fun. What a voice!

Really different than what I normally listen to. I feel like part of what makes it so special is that it has a clear narrative aim and manages to do exactly what it's trying to do. I feel like I need more than a day to sit with it and have a fully developed opinion, but definitely a super sharp and thoughtful album.
