1001 Albums Summary

Great live album. No-one plays blues like B.B. King Not a huge fan of live albums, but this is a standout.

The big hits are classics for a reason. The other tracks didn’t hold my attention between those songs.

It is impressive to hear a 1hr 45 min album this strong and with so many huge hits. I can appreciate the skill and musicianship, but the songs do not speak to me.

Easy 5, and it's not even their best album!

I love the playing on this. The guitar is incredible. Great interplay between the band.

How many different ways can you try and rhyme "California"? Gave up around the mid point. JF is a monster on guitar and Flea plays some great bass lines on this album, but RHCP are not for me.

As close to a perfect album as I've ever heard. Hit after hit. The dynamics of the three songwriting styles is great and keeps you hooked after for the next song. Easy 5 for me.

I liked it. Felt relevant depsute being 49 years old. Didn't feel samey despite the vocal/spoken word style. Really enjoyed the lyrics. It feels like a film about a cast of grimy characters.

The music is more interesting than a lot of other rap/hip hop albums from this time, but the lyrics just seemed repetitive for the most part

First time listening to this, but I was aware of the regard it is held in. A lot less morose than I was expecting! I love the guitar playing on it, adds some odd textures to the songs. Really good album, lives up to the hype.

I remember listening to this when it came out. I loved it then and I still really like it now. This album is a standout for Coldplay. There are some really interesting vocal melodies, it's more darker/odder than their later stuff.

Really fun and bright hip hop album. The samples are great. It feels like the soundtrack to a Spike Lee film. It took a bit of a dive after the orgey skit which clashes with the vibe of the rest of the album.

First time listening to a Sabbath album. The three big hits are great. It was more psychedelic than I expected. Tails off towards the end of the album.

I wanted to like this album, but only Fight Test and Do You Realise stood out.

Not my bag, slow and plodding

The glam rock songs on this album are brilliant, the best example of campy glam rock. The slower songs are a bit lack luster. My least favourite thing about Queen is they try to do the Beatles thing and let every member contribute lead vocals, just leave it to Freddie! This kicks off like a classic album and then the drummer has a song which kills the momentum. Some killer, some filler.

Some unusual samples on this which I really liked. Renegade is probably my favourite rap song ever, my favourite verse from both Eminem and Jay. Really like Jay-Z's flow. He loves rapping about money, it's like listening to an accountant at times 😅

Enjoyed the music, Panama is a banger. Didn't like the vocals as much.

More interesting than I expected. The repetitive lyrics got old by the end of the album.
