1001 Albums Summary

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

It’s a good album. I’m happy to have finally given it a full listen before I die.

Blur by Blur

To me Blur is a greatest hits band. They’re good and do the trick for a lot of people but they’re too much of a student band. I like Damon a lot, especially his work outside of Blur. I like Graham a lot, his solo work is fantastic. To say this is an album I have to hear before I die than I’m assuming so where down the line I’m going to have to hear Parklife and Modern Life Is Rubbish as well because they blow this album out of that giant pond between America and England. I have to assume this album is on here to appeal to Americans without passing an album from Blur. Beetlebum is amazing. For me this album is solid but far from their best effort and certainly not something I would push on anyone to listen to before they leave Earth. 4/10 ⭐️⭐️

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

There must be a cultural significance behind the album that I am missing, (and am not going to look into). This is by no means a bad album. Fans of Young will enjoy the record. For me, objectively listening to this record for the first time without any background knowledge or adolescent nostalgia it was just a couple more Neil Young songs. ⭐️⭐️

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

A songwriter’s songwriter. This album has a Point! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Elephant by The White Stripes

Cloud Nine by The Temptations

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears

This trout fishing for bland Americana sound is what people who like Kerouac ramblings listen to. Stand out songs Spinning Wheel and You Made Me So Very Happy can be enjoyed by older woman who will claim Pierre Trudeau once gave them a rose. And tell their teenage sons cooler friend they had a crush on Jim Morrison. Despite not having heard about The Doors until after Jim Morrison was dead. ⭐️

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

I’m glad Nirvana killed this genre. Even the skulls on the album are accessorizing. Two belts with skin tight leather pants? Prancing around in star spangled lulu lemons? Yuck. I can’t see into the future but I saw these guys as their current versions of themselves back then. LA junkies. The only thing that really is astonishing about this album is the guys review where his praise is so high he says Axl is charismatic. Jesus H Christ. An ashtray after a Steel Panther show has more charisma than this POS. I can see why people like it and I’m also glad I can easily see those people.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

Undeniably one of the greatest debut albums in rock history. They came up from nothing from a council estate in Manchester to being one of the loudest and biggest bands in the world. I always feel like I need to defend them for some reason. Why should someone need to defend a band that sold out shows back to back with 250,000 people? The reason this album and WTSMG and the Masterplan are so good is because they have hope entangled in them. There is a purity in this album that doesn’t feel like you had to be there in 1994 when it was released. Noel’s songs Live Forever. They became anthems. He’s not particularly great at guitar. His lyrics are pretty basic. It’s all heart and Liam sings like his life depends on it. For me, that’s all I need.

Like A Prayer by Madonna

I don’t think this album has real substance but is merely symbol for the influence it had during its peak on radio charts. Madonna has writing credits on all the songs, so there’s that.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp

Chill album that doesn’t really go anywhere and that’s OK, if here is where you want to be.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast

Nine months before this album was promoted or released I had a ripped mp3 file of Hey Ya. I was a big fan of Outkast since ATLiens. My favourite album was Aquemini. Stankonia was good, but not what wanted or expected to hear. Nevertheless it was good. I was growing out of Hip Hop around this time in 2003. Even Jay Z was supposedly retiring from the genre, and did in fact pretend to retire with the Black Album, 2 months after Speakerboxxx/ Love Below was released. So, by the time the album in question was released I had played Hey Ya to death and that song was inescapable for another year. Today I listened to this album in its entirety for the first time since the week it was released. Why have I only listened to this album twice, start to finish, since 2003? Well, turns out I have a lot of the same feelings about this record I had in 2003. I think it’s OutKasts worst record. Speakerboxxx on its own was surprisingly good this time around. Big Boi held his end down. Probably hard for him to do, too. Considering Andre decided he wanted to do his own thing. Although, it should be trimmed 5-6 songs or skits to make it great. Andres album sucks. Period. It sounds like he wanted to make a screenplay but for some reason just recorded the audio. It’s like he purposely does wild, stupid shit (like his new flute album) and people eat it up for some reason. There’s a small handful of songs on The Love Below that are good. Hey Ya is obviously timeless. 2 hours and 15 mins…. Seriously…. This album has way too much fat.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

I had never seen this album art or heard of this artist. I listened to the album twice, I liked it so much. The momentum kept building throughout. This album just kept coming. The songs varied but weren’t too abstract for my liking.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen

I like the idea of Bruce Springsteen more than I like the man’s music. Pretty cool hearing the raw, stripped down approach rather than the usual Stratocaster, saxophone rock he’s known for. This album, however, is for fans only.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley

My least favourite songs on this album are: Strange Feelin’ Buzzin' Fly Love from Room 109 at the Islander (On Pacific Coast Highway) Dream Letter Gypsy Woman & Sing A Song For You

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison

LP1 by FKA twigs

Boring and easily forgettable. Half way through the second track I was waiting for the album to kick off and it never did. Very tough to get through the whole album.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic

I found the first track to be quite annoying. The guitar went on and on like a demo or jam session which I wanted to skip numerous times but my hands were wet from doing dishes. If I didn’t have filthy pots I would have skipped it. A lot of the albums rhythm section is monotonous to the point it sounds looped and uninspired. It gave me “monkey smashing symbol” anger. I don’t think the album has aged well.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) by The Kinks

Scum by Napalm Death

Somewhere off the shores of hell there is an American camp playing this album on blast for POW’s.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

Beautifully constructed songs.

Stankonia by OutKast

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

This album exhibits such phenomenal range. Ill Communication is a pin wheel of influences spanning from DC hard core, Jazz, Rock, Funk and Hip Hop. This record is in a league of its own, and Beastie Boys were one of a kind. Very few people genre hop as vastly as this through entire careers, through multiple albums, let alone on a single record. But this is just what Beastie Boys do. They are one of, if not the most consistent Hip Hop group of all time, and this album is a triumph. My only complaint is towards the end of the album their voices are too distorted. I imagine that was a sound, style or technique they specifically chose that I wish was a little more clean on record. RIP MCA

Viva Hate by Morrissey

Very solid album from Moz and perhaps his most cohesive output post Smiths. The singles are obvious stand out songs (Suedehead and Every Day Is Like Sunday). I think the album serves mere mystique over substance. Did the album garner such generous reviews with no history of the man and his former band? As a stand alone record I think it’s good, not great. Few people would become a fan of Morrissey (from having heard Viva Hate) before first being a fan of The Smiths

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

Solid.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I think Nick Cave unintentionally casts ominous dread onto his listeners, which is an amazing accomplishment. He effortlessly sells stories with great imagery throughout Henry’s Dream. Nick Cave is the crux of a compass. Listeners will be directed towards extreme emotion. That’s not to say all emotion will be favourable. Regardless, listeners alike feel Nick Cave and his albums are memorable- for better or for worse.

The Undertones by The Undertones

Absolute gem of a power pop record. No duds noted as it stays fresh while breezing through 16 tracks in 35 minutes. Though it’s more of a casual surprise than memorable spin. It is definitely a background record, good for the road, doing chores around the house or a quick work out.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

Parachutes by Coldplay

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz

Incredibly repetitious all throughout. This albums marks 32/1001 for me, and it’s the first one I couldn’t finish. I hated it.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

Not a great album. Feels like a drug fever in salmon coloured dockers.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

I like the idea of Bruce Springsteen more than than man’s music. The title track has been hilariously misinterpreted as blind patriotism. Darlington County is the exact same song as the title track. Downbound train is a good song but his voice is unintelligible. Yes, I can understand what he’s saying but the way he sings makes me hate it enough to make it unlistenable. Favourite songs are I’m on Fire, No Surrender, Glory Days, My Hometown.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev

Holes is good. Endlessly reminded me of Silent Night, “sleep in heavenly peace”. Are they using a theremin? Cool There seems to be film score sounding interludes scattered throughout for some reason which I don’t believe contributes to the album but rather prevents it from flowing. And then before I knew it I had listened to the album three times and thought it was perfect. Not to sound cute but what a precious album. Beautiful.

The Predator by Ice Cube

“Classic” hip hop records are completely ruined by intros, outros, interludes, skits and inserts. Ready to Die, 3 Feet High and Rising, and The Predator are three albums I can think of that suffer and lose integrity for this crime. They’re stupid and aged like fruit. I think the best thing about The Predator is the lack of guest appearances. It’s just Cube dropping bars that are hard as nails and for me it’s his plateau. I, for one, am all for the N-word, homophobia and misogyny. It paints an important portrait of a time in America that should be used as a learning opportunity. Aside from the regrettable Gangsta’s Fairytale 2 and the inserts this album is a certified banger

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Super cool but not long enough

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned by Liars

10 Spooky Halloween Sounds… The song titles are really interesting. We Fenced Other Gardens With the Bones of Our Own is the 5th song on the album and the first with any structure. I picture people claiming to like this to seem obscure. Very experimental and a complete piece of crap.

In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

Cool. Appreciate being exposed to music outside the normal critics choices. I like it cause I’m a sucker for basic rock chords and melody, the traditional aspects and rhythms are beautiful. As a stand alone record, without knowing the bands history, there’s nothing really new or groundbreaking here.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo by Devo

Innovative. Only downside for me is some songs spin out and become too repetitive.

As quoted and summarized perfectly by another user: I hate half-assed records like this, where a band will experiment with one sound, but keep the other foot in comfortable territory. If you want to make an acid house record, make an acid house record. If you want to make a maudlin, Cure-like record, make one. Don’t sandwich the two together without regard for consistency. Nobody wants a record where four songs sound like one band and five songs sound like another. It’s timid. If you go for it, go all in. I’d rather see a band take a risk and fail than take half a risk and convince themselves they’ve succeeded.
