1001 Albums Summary

Good but a bit samey after a while

Very colorful, a lot is going on... makes me interested in listening to more Prince albums

Psychedelic, experimental, I think I'll love it after several listenings...

Beautiful and tasteful guitars, and an amazing voice... Dire Straits, nothing more to say

Well, it's Beasty Boys, hilarious at times, always groovy, and just fun to listen to... Maybe not my favorite album of theirs, but still really good.

Intriguing record, not every song catches me during my first listening, but I kinda wanna come back to the album. Intervention is the best track so far, staying with me after the album is finished. It dances between 4 and 5 stars, but especially the high variety of the tracks pushes it into 5 stars.

If you want to build up some tolerance against repetition torture, this is for you. Some songs are re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-really annoying, but there are some bangers though... Overall, would I listen to the entire album again out of my own accord? No. Would I be massively opposed to listen to it again? No Would I listen to individual tracks? Hell yes. So, I guess, the entire album is ok, middle of the road for me.

Purposely bad is still bad... Might deserve the first 1 star rating...

Our house is good, the rest is ok, but a bit to random for my taste

Just what I needed, Irish See Shanties kinda, reminds be of Mumford and Sons and Runrig... Really nice, not every song is great, but overall I'd say 4.5, so 5 stars

Not a huge Beatles fan, but still a good album, quite a lot of variety, would listen again...

wtf... Started with me interested, some nice grooves, but hell, does it loose me towards the end... If you want an Album Like a long, drugged jam Session, this is for you, but if you're looking for songs, go somewhere else... Dropped by 2 ratings towards the end for me...

Great Album, with awesome bass sounds... Needs multiple listenings but definitely between 4 and 5...

Meh, boring... Not great, but not terrible either...

I like this album, some of Coldplays best songs... quite melancholic... Definitely would listen to it again, even seek it out, so therefore 5 stars...

Nope

Like it, nice feel to it, but don't love it

Needs multiple listenings, but amazingly depressing album...

This is good, not exactly thing, but still very beautiful. The Spotify version is the wrong one, search it on YouTube.

Long jam session, cool but also annoying and boring at times... It's ok...

Highly enjoyable, good production, great voice and songwriting, cool Bass lines... Not 5 stars, but an easy 4

3 Stars, Not great, Not terrible...

Lovely

Doesn't hurt... Bass lines are cool though...

Classic and I just love the bass lines, so groovy...

Didn't like it at first, but it grows on you. It's fun, I will listen again.

Funky, very old school, fun, but also kinda forgetable... middle of the road (for me).

Very meh... One number everyone knows, a few good ones, a lot of forgettable ones...

Groovy, old-school, not great, but good with a few weaker songs

I really loved this, and just for being very British, one extra star...

This one is easy, all time favourite of mine, there is only one song I usually skip, if I am in the mood, everything else is basically perfect.

Nope, First I thought meh, but it's just boring and I started to actively dislike it...

Gotta give it to them, 14 songs in 15 minutes is efficient... And it definitely does not overstay its welcome. Musically, I just do not like punk, it is to boring to me, fast, but monotonous... So it would have been 2 stars. but one extra star for not wasting my time.

I don't want to continue, some nice songs but just boring...

Garden state soundtrack

Well, Prodigy, it's cool...

Nice Blues album, but not my music... Still good

Classic, but a bit to classic for me... Still good

Not the biggest Bon Jovi Fan, but man, this album is fun... And at least 4 top hits on it that most people will recognize, which is incredible... Musically it is great, all instruments are clearly audible and complement each other beautifully. Easy rating...

I don't think I like the Beatles...

Cool, but not really for me...

As a bassist, I feel for Metallicas bass player on this album... Would be nice to actually hear him... Love master of puppets, but not this one...

No, Just boring, no...

It's Bob Dylan, it is good, but some songs also go way too long... Still, above average

"Musicians such as Björk and Big Boi have cited The Dreaming as one of their favourite albums..." Yes, I see that 😅... I appreciate what Kate does on this album, but for me it is to weird and not memorable at all... Crazy, different, but only occasionally good melodies...

Damn, as someone not actively listening to Creedence, I knew about 75% of the songs on this album and all of them were good... I do not love the sound, but the vocals and the songwriting, damn, it is good. Definitely impactful record.

Good songwriting, but I don't like the sound...

Don't like the voice, otherwise ok

Not an Album, but a compilation... For background music.

Synth Pop at its greatest... Love it, need to listen to more...

Meh...

Weird, but not bad... Heroes is really good, towards the end the album becomes quite psychedelic...

It's a classic, I love it

Hmm... It is cool, but also annoying... Annoyingly cool, like trying too hard to be cool, I have a hard time taking it seriously, then again, the record is also not taking itself seriously... Middle of the road for me...

Damn, I love Muse, but never listened to this specific record in it's entirety before... Now I know why, musically it is good but not great, only a few songs that stick with me... Hope this is not the only record on this list, but this one was only ok for me...

Kinda like it, old school but catchy...

I don't get punk...

It's like a grungy Nick Drake, sometimes Placebo Vibes... I like it, good vibes...

Classic, bit very slow... Those were the times...

Mixed bag, a few really great songs with memorable melodies, in between a bunch of soundtrack like jam sessions... Would give 5 stars for 2 songs, but the rest drags it down...

Nice

Awesome Bass playing, inspirational... Good songs, would listen again...

Great atmosphere, beautifully weird, I love it...

Good voice and one song everyone knows... But somehow, a lot of the songs on the record sound like the first one... Guess that's Blues...

This one was weird, it came in two days after In Rainbows, an album which I loved... somehow, this felt less meaningful and more random... maybe it needs time, but for now, this is only OK for me.

As the singer of my last band often said about songs: "Des duad koam weh", which translates into "It does not hurt anyone"... Music sometimes needs to hurt, this was just ok for me.

Nice songs, good singer songwriter stuff, but only good.

Liked it initially, then it became meh... Then it kept on going and became annoying...

Nope...

Maybe I am in a weird mood today, but this record is Just sooooooo mediocre and boring... Maybe I'm a Stan today, but hard no...

Nice, but I would not seek it out... It's ok...

It's more like a jam session, not really any songs... Nice for background, but not for active listening...

One word, cool. The voice, the minimalism, great stuff... Perfect length and perfect 1st and last track. Easy 5.

Uneventful, like taken the quietest songs from Mumford and sons and making an entire album from them... Like Nick Drake, but more boring... I do not hate it, but I also do not like it... In fact, I find it annoyingly boring...

Smoke on the water is overrated, but also instantly recognizable. The rest is ok, but not great (for me). I definitely do not like the sound of old school heavy Metal, it's to soft for me. Still, a good record at 3.5, so it gets a 4.

I like Nick Cave and this album was a bit of a rollercoaster... Initially I did not like the lyrics, but loved the voice. Instrumentation is minimalistic, but also very cool. Then I was draw in by the atmosphere and I loved it. Then it kept going for 1-2 tracks too long. Well, I like it more than Deep Purple and I gave 4 stars there, so 5 it is...

Man, this was annoying... When it started, I was like "This might be a good record for riding the bike home". Then it kept going and became more and more annoying... Musically it is so bland, nothing sticks in my mind. This is a clear NO from me.

Well... I love the first song... and I love The Sun Always Shines on T.V... and that's it. Those were the two songs I knew, and no I know why. The rest is simply not as catchy or memorable. Still, I did not hate it, and for those two songs alone it need to bump it up 1 star.

Not for me, simply no... To much going on and not enough to latch onto...

Hmm... classic, but I am getting bored of classic rock... still not bad, but a lot of songs just go on for too long

This one is interesting, listened to the first half and it annoyed me after a while... one day after, I listened to the second half without knowing it (I though the next record on the list was playing, but spotify tricked me)... I like the second half more, but it is still just ok... Lately, a lot of records I got were just ok, either I am in Stan-mode or this is just some rough patch... anyhow, this one is ok, nothing special, so 3 stars.

First track is the best, memorable... The rest less so. Great vocals, but it all becomes quite boring as it continues... Good for music in the background though.

Cool, I like it, even the super long songs are ok for me

It's hip hop, not a huge fan, but this was ok, actually groovy and head bump inducing...

First thought after seconds: British. Otherwise quite forgettable. Musically not bad, but nothing really sticks out...

I like it, some Beasty Boys vibes, rythm section is amazing and grooves like crazy. Nice blend of blues and rap.

This. Bad. Trip. Does. Not. End. Best track is Moonshake because it is short.

Good sound, vocal mixed to much into the background, which is sad since the vocals are cool. Overall, kinda forgettable sadly...

One guy playing piano... This is the definition of meh...

Amazing sound, especially the bass. Songs are fun to listen too but except the first one do not immediately stick in your head... Multiple listenings will fix this though... I stopped after good Feeling as it is the perfect end for this record.

Musically great, great vocalist, great session musicians (as a bass player, I love the bass lines)... But the style of music, it just ain't for me... 80s soul, I cannot appreciate it, it fades into the background for me. Great music, but it does not connect with me.

This one grew on me during listening to it... Great melodies, great sound and quite varied... A strong 4.5, but in this case I drop it to 4... More listenings could bring it to 5 though

This one was amazing, a course on how to play more by playing less, lovingly minimalistic... No hits, so no individual song stays with you but you'll remember the overall feeling of the record...

Try listening to this while waiting for a delayed train while being already late for an appointment... Easily removes one star... Anyhow, was pretty meh from the start, did not finish this one.

This is Primer level shit, I don't understand it but I love it. It does not fully connect with me since the songs do not have a lot of recognicability (at least for me), but they have soul.

Beatles vibes, too old school for me...

Never been a big Jack White fan and this record did not turn me into one... Good sangs and annoying songs, in the end, it sits in the middle.

Surprisingly, I did not like this as much as I thought... Experimental and weird at times, a bit much for me. Maybe multiple listenings will help but for now it is ok.

Nope, stopped in the middle, not for me... Did not hate it, but it's just boring and I will never listen to it again.

Will not remember after T-2 days... Yep, already forgotten...

Why is this on here... No songwriting, just jamming... This is not a record

Boooring....

Not for me, again... Quite the dry streak at the moment... It's the Who, it ain't bad, but it's too old school for me, nothing to latch onto... Still OK

Nice, obviously girl from Ipanema, but the rest is also nice... Not mind-blowing, but nice...

Amazing, I basically knew every song, perfect length, great album

Did not like at the start, but man, this shit grows on you... So many great songs... Gets worse in the second half, but still overall great

Meh

Nope

I literally fell asleep, not for me...

I like it, pure 80s 😅... 4 stars plus 1 for the bass guitar...

I hear a lot of later bands I like in there, overall I liked it, but it gets old after a while...

Not for me...

Meh... Some nice songs, a lot of boring stuff... Needed some Death Metal afterwards...

I get the point after half the record, no need to continue... Some nice melodies, but buried in a lot of chaos... Still ok

Hmm... Don't get punk, so only fitting that I also don't get post-punk...

Loved the drum and bass grooves, simply but effective... oh wait, there are vocals? Nothing exciting, quite boring overall... But 1 extra star for the bass.

Stopped after 3 songs, because I know where it is going... Nowhere. Meandering around and simply boring... Definition of background music. Extremely meh, middle of the road. Well produced, but not a single edge... Already forgotten after T-5 minutes...

Good choice, but boring songwriting... Again elevator music, nice for background music, but nothing interesting or surprising... So again, meh...

No

Basically a long jam session, but a cool one... Bass and Drums are really fun to listen to...

Good, Not great but fun listening experience, might reviset at some point

Nice, not super catchy but I really liked it ...

Instrumental great, vocals I need to get used to... Overall not my cup of tea but I still liked it

Surprisingly many songs that did not work for me on first listen... But it has the best song of the world on it, so 5 stars.

Well, this was a ride, all over the place in a good way. Listen to it with a break in between, otherwise it is way too long... Took me a while to get used to the voice, but it clicked after a while... All in all, great album.

It's Nick Cave, so I'm already sold... Not every song hits, but the album as a whole does. Last track is the perfect ending...

Weird... funny at times, annoying at times... Guess, if I were drunk, this would be incredible... Sober, however, this is mostly meh, significant, but not overly enjoyable.

This one surprised me. Love the vocals, very reduced instrumentals... Not complex, it's like a really enjoyable bowl of ice cream, not a weird taste, but something basic like chocolate or vanilla, still amazing, comfort food. Maybe I was in the right mood for it, but it's a 4.5, so 5 stars. Made me want to listen to more The National though 😅

Well, I liked it more than I thought, not great, but a solid 4 stars... Sadly, he's crazy now, so -1 ...

Not yet finished, but this album is simply fun... And is also good, what more do I need...

What just happened? This is a rollercoaster from cool instrumentals to annoying vocals... If he could just stop singing 😅... Moments I liked, moments I hated. Experimental but at the cost of good songwriting... All in all, I did not like it or love it, I did not hate it (all the time)... Mostly between interesting and terrible, but more on the later, so 2 stars...

Mixed to positive feelings for this one... musically I like it, but the vocals are a bit to monotone for me. But I might come back to it, it's above meh and below great ^_^...

Old school, but still great... 4.5 stars

I liked this one, 4.5 stars

This one... Power tools, kids playing drums on dishes, a German screaming nonsensical words... As a German myself, I sadly understand what he is saying and it does not make it better... However, there where moments, brief ones, that I liked or that made me laugh... I did not hate it but man, this is work and I do not want to listen to it again (unless maybe I do)

Weird, raw, gritty, not always connecting during the first listen but makes we want to seek out more of her... Far from perfect, but maybe that's a good thing... 4.5

Hmm... It ain't bad, I actually like it, but reggae is always so similar... Songs kinda blend, chorus and verse blend and then it fades out... I liked it, but it's not my type of music... Still, some classics on here...

No, musically, it works sometimes but some of the lyrics are just unacceptable... Won't come back here...

Hmm... I love a lot of R.E.M songs, but they also have a lot of similar sounding fillers... This album is not different, some songs hit, some don't... And it's not creative or weird enough to compensate... Still good, would always be happy to listen to it, it just ain't great...

This one is great... Not every song, but the album as a whole creates an amazing atmosphere...

Not doing it for me, Passenger is well known for good reasons, the rest is good, but not amazing... Still, it's not bad...

Man, this is soooo boring... I don't hate it, I just don't care. This is the definition of meh

Liked this one, very poppy, very pleasant in all the good and bad ways... Not 5 stars, but easy a 4 and since it put me in a good mood, 4.5.

Fun, energetic, not super catch but super funky... 4 stars easy, but man the bass is a definite +1...

Loved this one, not every song but most of them. Atmosphere and sound are amazing, highlights are Boiler, Take a look around (duh), My Way... Easy 5 stars.

Good performance, but not for me... Mostly background music. And since it's only cover songs, why is this record on this list? I tend to 4 stars, but honestly, I will never come back to this one, it is ok, but overall forgettable...

One word, cool. More words, really groovy, funky, bluesy, stoney 😊... Two all time classics and the rest is also great, easy 5 stars

Great vibe, not every song is great, but there record as a whole is amazing... Easy 5...

Hit or miss, but definitely too long... Some great songs, a lot of forgettable ones, should have been much shorter... Still a good overall vibe...

This one started strong, digging the vibe, then it got annoying extremely fast... Regarding the 5th track, piece of advice for aspiring songwriters: find a cool motive and the repeat it monotonously and relentlessly, your audience will learn to love it... It comes back from being annoying to some degree, but overall this is middle of the road... What I like: vocals, minimalistic arrangement, it is only 34 minutes long... What I don't like: monotonous and repetitive (within songs, not in between them)

This is the definition of meh... Really not my thing and close to annoying... Barely 3 stars

I do not get the White Stripes and I hate the first song, so the record starts at a low... Overall the songwriting is cool, but also somewhat boring... It is a superb sounding record though, so +1 for the sound and -1 for SNA... Overall, it's Ok, I guess 🤷‍♂️

Classic Rock with punk elements, overall ok, pleasant but nothing mind-blowing... Still enjoyable, 3.5 stars...

Was. Zum. Fick? This is nothing, no songwriting, no technical proficiency, no storytelling, no arrangement, not even good sound. Is this deconstructive music? Although, I would argue that this is NOT music, there is nothing there... This is throwing paint at the wall and calling it painting. Worse than Einstürzende Neubauten, can you imagine that...

Sad timing, this record showed up the day Ozzy died... The album is good, most songs I would call rock rather then metal, but a few songs are prototypical metal. Influence on other musicians is obvious. For that alone 5 stars.

Not for me, not bad, but doesn't do anything for me...

Classic rock as classic rock gets... 3.5

Hmm... This was interesting... Great sound that is synonymous to the 80s, but musically very monotonous... But man, the nostalgia, +1 for that...

Good but very forgettable... I'm writing this after a few hours and already have a hard time to recall anything... I did not hate it, and the bass was cool and overall sound was good, so yeah, it's ok...

Weird one, hard to put in a genre... it's like Sinatra singing to music by John Williams... But enjoyable, fun and memorable... I will come back to Scott, 4.5 stars.

Wow... energetic, frenetic, eglectic, extremely diverse stylewise, great production, great voice, great bass, overall great vibes... This was fun, I loved it...

This one tried really hard to be unlikable... it is loud, repetitive and annoying, but still, there is something there... It grows on you, as the record goes along, it keeps beating you over the head until you go into sweet submission... It stockholms you into thinking, that it is good to you... Repetition becomes a cushion to rest on and there are moments of beauty in between all the mayhem... It is not 5 stars (far off), but it is also not just OK. I get it, if you hate it, it has that quality, but for me, it captivated me in the moments, when it did not annoy the hell out of me and on multiple listens, I think I might actually start liking it... This shit grows on you.

Hmm... this one is difficult, musically, I did not particularly like it and from a musicians perspective, it is rather boring and monotonous... but as art, I can see (kinda) where they are going... I feel, this is a band, you need to spend time with to see the full picture and maybe I will in the future... for now, didn't love it, didn't even like it that much, so it is OK...

Cool, I liked it but I also already forgot about it...

Farting frogs? Not for me, no, Sir...

It's good? Singer songwriter stuff, but nothing really great on it... Still enjoyable

Do not listen to this if you have a shitty morning... It makes it worse... Very forgettable except for the first track that everyone knows... But the most annoying thing is that the songs overstay their welcome massively, way to repetitive and long... Still, if I were in a different mood, might have liked it, so benefit of the doubt, it's OK.

Right now, this really fits my mood, so yeah, 5 stars... But one the other hand, it sounds like shit and most "songs" do not deserve that label ... Bass sounds like shit, drums sound like shit... But, when it grooves, it grooves... To rare, but those moments save it... Do I want to listen to it again? No.

What to say, not every song is great but the ones that are, are classics... It is amazing, how many bands influenced by this you can here while listening to Nevermind. Not my favorite band or album, but songwriting is still great and the sound undeniably started something big... 4.5 stars.

I needed this one, perfect for my mood today, so fuck it, 5 stars. It's also a pretty good record...

Damn, took almost 25 min for the drummer to find the snare... This is not for me, definition of background music, not bad but also kinda boring...

It's good, but not great... I like the vibe and of course the voice, need to listen to more Morrissey...

Brilliant, was fun listening to it, need to listen to more from them... It is a strong 4.5

It starts brilliantly, but does lose momentum over its runtime... At the end, it is to long to much of the same... I like the style, but there is only so much, you can do with singer-songwriter stuff, and this album does demonstrate this. Still, it is good and I enjoyed at least the first half, so it is a strong 4.0.

Amazing, great work on all instruments, fun and unusual time signatures and one tune, everyone knows... Need to listen to more of the Quartet. Strong 4.5.

Surprisingly good, great and unusual harmonies, more instrumentation than expected from singer/songwriter, I liked it a lot. Makes me want to listen more of him. 4.5

Yawn... This was soon boring...

This one was ok, but surprisingly boring for Bob Dylan... Overall forgettable

Way ahead of the curve, rhymes written by ChatGPT long before ChatGPT... And God damnit, use the snare, it helps with the groove, really... Influential for sure with some fresh ideas, but other who came after did it better...

This one was fun, varied and had a few absolute bangers... Amazing songwriting, very good feel for how songs work... Easy 4.5

Hmm... Nice songs but a bit forgettable, but some nice melodies. 3.5, but towards the lower end of the spectrum...

No, it does groove but is way to repetitive and honestly, after 50%, it started to test my patience...

Not Bad, Not at all... Actually quite a lot of fun listening to it, lots of energy... Easily 4 stars, more like 4.5

What to say, it's Pearl Jam... Not that many banger tracks, but the entire record has a great vibe and amazing sound... All in all 4.5 stars

What to say, AC/DC still keeps remaking this record, but for good reason... Not the biggest fan, but the record is fun.

Its Nick Cave, what can I say, I love it… Not every Song, but the overall vibe of the record.

was ok

Boring, cannot finish this one...

3 stars, not great, not terrible

Not for me, but still better than ok... Would be a clear 3.5 for me, but I enjoyed it more than most 3 star records, so...

I don't know, it's a mixed bag... Some tracks have really cool lyrics, others less so... The beats are less interesting, so overall, it's ok.

Tricky... Amazing voice and production and the first half is 5 stars... But it does get boring towards the end, as it keeps bringing up the same sad ballads... This brings it down, but not by much.

Wild ride, good humour, quite beautiful songs intermixed with weird songs and some interludes, it does not get boring... I am torn between 4 and 5, but it is closer to 5...

Interesting one... Not boring at all, quite diverse, but in the middle section it gets to monotonous... Still

Solid with moments of greatness.

This one was nice, cool mood and sound, a bit grungy, electronical, rocky... I am torn between 4 and 5, but lean towards 4... Misses the mark for greatness slightly

Background music, elevator music, it is soothing but also kinda boring... Pleasant to listen to while doing anything else not requiring you to actually listen... It's ok.

Me like, but requires multiple listenings...

No, just no... I do not like Christmas songs during Christmas, why would I listen to them during the year?

Hmm... it vibes, but it is less rock than I imagined... Some bangers, but mostly middle of the road, not bad, not great... 3 stars for being OK, 1 additional one for the vibe.

Not a huge fan of da funk, but man, da bass on this one is massive and worth +1 star at least...

It's not for me, man...

A lot of people were shot during the making of this album... It's basically a Western musical audio book with a lot of classic western stories. Musically, it is nice, but nothing super exciting. First track is the most recognizable. Overall, I liked it.

This is so 80s, I love it. I would never use a gated Verb nowadays, but here, it just works.

I did not like it at first and I did not like it at the end... It's kinda boring and I realized that I really do not like heavily harmonized vocals... +1 star for circumstances during recording...

This one is very meh... 2 stars with +1 for a few hits... But why is a live album on this list?

Like the title song, everything else is so... Dad. I am not old enough for this shit.

This one is easy 😅

Nice for bike riding, but forgettable... +1 for good productiin and bass sound

booooring...

Hmm... WTF, but also interesting, cool ideas, but overall somewhat forgettable, but it does try something new...

Surprinsingly many duds, but the bangers are bangers...

I really need to be in the mood for this, technically brilliant, but nothing to hook me... It's like a 30 min Solo, kinda cool but also exhausting.

It's ok, not great

I liked it, but it goes on too long... And it is not long... Still, I liked the overall vibe and the sound, which is surprising since I usually hate Country, so that's a bonus.

This version goes on a bit to long, but the original was only 37 mins, so I can't fault them for that. Instantly recognizable even if the big hits are not on this record, but damn, they are good songwriters... I also live the bass 😅

Never been a fan and this record does not change that...

Great vocal performance and great playing... They had fun and you can feel it.

It is exactly what you might expect from Irish music, it's not bad but you need to be in the mood for it. The somber tunes are quite nice.

Nice listen but nothing special... Some beautiful melodies, but also a lot of forgettable songs...

Cool vibe, not super memorable, but overall, a joy to listen to and it makes me want to listen more of them.

kinda lame

No, too monotone and too boring, lyrics are also way to cliche and to gangsta... Not for me.

No, just no... This kinda hip hop is always the same, it ain't for me...

Three center songs are masterpieces, the songs around it forgettable... As a record, 4/5, for the three center songs 5/5...

Meh... One songs I knew but it was worse than I remembered 😅

I think I kinda liked it, but already forgot about it... 3.5

Leonard Cohen, good as usual, but fewer songs to remember than the Last one

Hmm, already forgotten

Hmm, nice, old school Blues but too old for me

Good songs, some amazing, some ok, but the live vibe is great... 4.5

Good, but too old school for me... Strong start, low end...

I want to give 5 stars for the amazing hits on this and for creating essentially a new style... But it is too long and does not have the standing power... 4.5, so round it up to 5.
