1001 Albums Summary

I really dig this album! It immediately reminded me of summer and I actually can't wait to listen to it then. I love the bluesy feel which you can tell they were inspired by. At first I was bothered with how long the songs were but the more I listen to this album I find myself okay with it! I feel like I'm listening to a story going back and forth between the singer and guitarist (not sure if it's the same person).

Gave this album a fair listen but nothing really does it for me. I love a good instrumental/beat album but nothing really stood out to me... I will give props where they are due though because DJ Shadows ability to mix, sample and produce a track are top notch.

Super familiar with The Police especially Message in a Bottle. Listening to it on this album though I'm realizing its actually kind of a meh song. I think there are a lot of other better songs on this album so it's interesting to see Message in a Bottle be one of their popular ones. That aside, I think the album is OK. I see the importance it plays mixing Reggae but that's about it. Walking on the Moon is the stand out for me.

I tried to give this a listen but I really couldn't make it past the first few songs. I've never been a Beatles fan and this definitely didn't change that. The vocals sound too whiney for me to listen and I don't enjoy the composition of the songs either.

I'm in love with this album, this is exactly the type of music I thought would be on the list. The vocals are astounding and moving. Adding back up singers to each song is such a nice touch and really stands out. The title of the album is spot on, it's rock n roll, it's soulful and its beautiful.

Not a bad album, I think there is a lot more to be desired and I'm not the hugest fan of Morissey but overall it was okay! It does have a nostalgia factor for me as it reminds me of the time I lived in New England.

This was a interesting listen at 6 in the morning haha. I really dig Basies ability to go from soft and smooth to upbeat and a bit more chaotic. The songs that are more upbeat I'm unsure if I like those or not. After Supper is definitely more my vibe and one of the stand outs for me.

This was ok. Not a big fan, I've listened to a few psychedelic albums here and there but it's hit and miss for me.

Their sampling is outstanding and I could listen to the instrumentals if they offered those on an album forever. I'm not a fan of their lyrics or their voices. They are a little grating and the lyrics sound cheesy.

I love the instrumentation but the vocals kind of kill it for me. There's a disconnect and I find myself hard to enjoy this.
