1001 Albums Summary

Very grungy, raw and powerful. Loved it.

I knew this album before. I actually owned it growing up. I used to like this kind of music, but not really anymore. Still, was great to revisit, it does have some legendary tracks on it.

Whooo, This was really out of my usual, but kinda enjoyed it briefly. Big black guys rapping is just powerful. But the songs were pretty non creative and entirely unrelatable for me.

The first time I actually read into Bowie and listened to a whole album of his was when this came out. I thought he made the ultimate artistic move, and found it amazing. The album is really sad, of course. Without the background story, I wouldn’t be that into the music, but as an artistic piece, I love it.

It wasn’t really memorable to me. It reminded me of being a kid at the neighbour’s garden party when Józsi bácsi was blasting progressive rock noone heard about from CD-s he collected. All the suburban mums hated it but the progressively drunker dads were kinda living it. Anyway, will probably not revisit, but it was still a good listen. Also, I was tired when listening, so I probably not have given it the fairest chance.

Oooooh yes baby, what an album opening. Also, great album cover!

It’s gonna be an album I will love once I listen to it more. Memory boy and Desire Lines got me at first tho.

Actually, I liked it. It’s not at all the music I normally listen to, but it just found me in the right mood for this, so yeah.

A really British album from a New York band. Loved it. Listened to it many times.

This album is all over the place, as you would expect from a band named like this. Even an Eastern European countryside bus ride feels dreamy with it.

Makes me want to sadly hitchike across The Mid-West.

A classic one full of bangers, before they became a load of shit.

Great album, although some vocal parts were almost annoying. Still, loved it, listened to it twice instantly.

Legendary album. Maybe it gets a bit monotonous after a while. Still amazing.

Perfect, and extremely emotional album. Made us cry on a Marshrutka.

I liked it a lot, it requires a certain mood, but will definitely revisit. Also reminded me of the Bloodhound Gang song The lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying, which is an absolutely disgusting masterpiece.

I mean… They got me when I was 15, and made me want to become a time traveller and a hippie. And even tho it is extremely overlistened from my side, occasionally it can still make me cry.

Pretty cool for a trainride back home. Nice and cosy, but not groundbreaking.

cute

Fun but short, album, good guitar themes. A little too innocent.

Great, poetic album, Nick Drakey calmness.

It’s a great jam for a train ride, but this was ment to be enjoyed live I think.

I really wasn’t in the mindset for this, but maybe if I was I would have appreciated it better, you probably meed to sit down in a dark corner with some red wine and crackers, and I was sitting on a romanian train instead. So it’s a 3 star album for now.

What can I say? Every second of it is the anthem of my misunderstood teenagehood.

I swear I tried. Tried to appreciate the significance of it, the groundbreaking nature, but I was switching between being bored and anxious. It’s probably good background music for some documentaries about space, but other than that it’s just bloopadedoop for me.

The first album on this list so far, which I bought and loved at the time of release. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. An immediate classic, a masterpiece.

ya like jazz?

Didn’t make it all the way through yet, but I will. A classic, perfect for this sunny afternoon.

I loved it. Spotify threw this at me one before, and I liked it, but forgot to save, so was happy that this reemerged.

Super surprising album. It sounds way more recent than it actually is. I loved it. Will definitely listen again.
