1001 Albums Summary

I can see why this album is a classic, and there's no denying of the talent behind it. But most of the songs felt too similiar to each other, and many sexual bits to an exaggerated point for an album. What's the deal with all the sex sounds?

Heartwarming. Great for background (in the best way possible) and creating an atmosphere

Couldn't help but thinking to myself "this is music".

This album has a magical feel to it

I didn't suffer for about 10 seconds in total listening to this. Not my style AT ALL

This one really does feel like a punishment to me. Can't even get to the end

It took a few tries to get in the mood of this one, but it was worth it. Virtuous and full of substance.

This is ACTUALLY an album you have to hear before you die. Even if rap is not your thing, this album is flooded with undeniable talent. Eminem really knows how to tell a story. I'm still impressed by the creativity this man has.

It wasn't the easiest listening but I enjoyed it. I like punk and it was interesting to absorb some of it's origins.

Decently pleasant to listen to but nothing to write home about

Solid album which I'd visit again in a better mindset

Feels like an album that should be experienced either live or in a very specific mood

It's not my style but I enjoyed it, it felt a bit different and like I need to try and explore the genre more.

I love The White Stripes, but wonder why this is the recommended album. It's definitely not their greatest album.

It's good music, but not great music. Pleasant to listen to, but most of it won't stick with me. A 3.5/5.

I'm ambivalent on this one, it's a 3.5 for me. It feels like a band I should explore more deeply and the songs do have character, but most of them don't feel like they're going to stick with me. Maybe it needs another listen, so for the sake of that doubt I'll give it a 4.

I'd probably never listen to it again, but I appreciate the experience. Very unique

I didn't enjoy it as much as I "should". Good, not amazing.

I love their songs seperately, but listening to the entire album is A LOT

The album is mostly annoying to listen to. Was powering through it worth it for two pretty good songs? Not really. Maybe I'll check out a different album from John Grant.

Not bad but monotonous, would not listen again

The first half of the album was fun but for the second half I just waited for it to be over, so 3/5

Some was nice (I feel it's more of a live music type of listening), some felt was really annoying to listen to.

On the verge on being unlistenable. You really have to put a lot of effort to connect to this.

Most isn't for me, but the 2 songs that are are masterpieces

Fun to listen to! But a bit overwhelming by the amount of songs

I enjoyed the harmony and the flow of the album

Setting the iconic song "Brothers in Arms", it's really not my jam. Something in the vibe of this entire music makes me uncomfortable for some reason.

A force to be reckoned with.

In 3 words: 80's movie montage.

I really enjoyed this one. I managed to listen to the entire album in 2 sessions and didn't feel it was too much. Works for a lot of different moods

I will give it a second listen, but it has some beautiful and touching songs. I felt it.

Half was really vibey and fun to listen to and half was annoying af

Was prepared to like it, but I didn't really enjoy this one.

This album felt like an experience in evolution. The experimenting of each of the songs made "Psycho Killer" happen. So although most of the album was a 3-3.5 for me, the experience itself deserves 4 at least :)

I hate 80s music. This Album has whopping 2 songs that don't make me develop symptoms, that's something!

I enjoyed about 2 songs, the rest were.. annoying.

Maybe the first 80's album I actually enjoyed. It was diverse and not monotonic, good ol' Rock

I understand the appeal but it's really not for me.

Immediatly want to listen to it again. Some absolute bangers

I was moved. Last three songs in particular were lovely

Listenable but not something I'll go back to

I had to skip several songs but there were 1 or 2 that were a good listen

I really love PJ Harvey but this album isn't for me

I enjoyed it! But not sure it'll stay with me

I can appreciate it but it's not an easy listen

Not their best album but there's no denying "The White Stripes" bring something special to the table
