1001 Albums Summary

Some great songs. Not Marley’s best work. 3/5

Super derivative of beach boys and other pop sensations of the time. Their songwriting is not nearly on the same on this album. I thought a lot of the songs hit a level of irritating as it’s trying to be sweet. California dreaming is good and a classic. 1.5/5

Really fun Big beat album. The soul and funk samples mixed with the most insane transitions makes every song danceable. The beats while standard for it's genre are also really well done. I don't like Kalifornia. 4.5/5

Very despondent album. I appreciate the melancholic post punk instrumentals as well as the lyrics. However, I think the vocals and choruses sound at times more annoying than raw. Sounds like the album would take place in a haunted house. 3.5/5

Corny but sweet. Can't see myself going back to the whole album as most of the songs are pretty similar. That being said I will go back to "While you see a chance" because that song is great. 2.5/5

4.5/5

Amazing laid back vocals from Lou reed paired with distorted and garage guitars make for a fantastic glam rock record. Lou reed also has great ballads like perfect day which is one of my favourite songs of all time. 4/5

Saxophone is good but the performances aren’t all that stand-out. 3/5

I appreciate how important this album is. However I find myself unable to get into the endless thrashing. Still some incredible and iconic performances. 3/5

2/5

1.5/5

Classic and influential album on the psychedelic L.A scene. Strikingly simple yet effective use of keyboard to create an album with its own dark sound that was rarely matched in the psychedelic era of the 60s and 70s. Amazing songwriting as well closed off with one of the most dystopia song I’ve listened to with “The End”. 4.5/5

All killer no filler 5/5

4.5/5

3/5

Classic Bob Dylan and influential for being his first foray into electric sounds. However, just not that many stand out songs compared to highway 61 revisited that would follow less than a year after. Still a good listen. 3.5/5

4/5

5/5

Really fun record 4/5

2/5

I love the blend of the dancier grooves, psychedelic guitars and gospel vocals. It makes for an interesting pallet I haven’t heard before. I think while some of the songs haven’t aged as gracefully as others I can see the influence this had on the 90s house scene as well as indie. Super fun record I think it will get better the more I listen. 4/5

Terrible album cover and band name. The music itself, hard to define and interesting. They found this pocket of unique sound, however don’t know if it’s being used to it’s full potential. 2.5/5

4.5/5

3.5/5

One of the greatest rap albums in of all time. Profoundly fun yet moving couldn’t ask for better and Kanye’s catalog later in could not top this one.
