1001 Albums Summary

Forgettable songs and a singer with a grating voice. Bonus points for unconventional instruments in the genre. (sax, harmonica, trumpet etc.)

Not a pleasant listening experience. Songs sounded like they had a kernel of an idea that seemed to lose focus at points by throwing in strange tempo shifts or what sounded like just random noise (such as at the end of novacane). I will say that Ramshackle was a diamond in the rough at least.

Very expressive and smooth sounding guitar solos throughout the entire album. Sultans of Swing is a registered Hyper Banger

I'm not really a fan of live recorded albums. A few of the songs stood out enough for me to seek out the studio recordings of, but this album was a miss for me.

Very reminiscent of an old timey R&B/jazz club sound. Relaxing to listen to even though the lyrical content might suggest otherwise.

Uplifting and happy sounding.

The vocal mixing was awful, but maybe that's a good thing because their voice or vocal effect used was awful too. There were a few good bass lines and drum beats, but everything around them was boring.

I'm not familiar with the nuances of the new tango genre, so I'm just giving surface level listening opinions. I liked the tempo changes from fast vibraphone to slow violin. Sounded nice.

Idk. Maybe I needed to be high...

Easy listening. Nothing exceptional.

Nice blend of bite sized songs from a range of different genres. Bonus nostalgia points since my mother listened to these songs all throughout my childhood.

The acoustic instrumentation sounded good but the singing left something to be desired. Maybe folk is just not my jam.

Songs were mid to bad.

Songs were fine to listen to. Few classics.

Some nice beats. A little too experimental for my taste though.

Gigagroover of an album. Great range of different rock and roll styles done well.

Sounded like a Broadway show. The lyrical content didn't do it for me, but The Divine Comedy as the backing band killed it. Made me wish there was an instrumental version of the album.

Musically the album was fine but the singer could have done with some lessons.

Fine album.

Easy listening. Nice mix of R&B and rock.

Atmospheric. Good for background noise while doing something else. Not something I would listen to on it's own though.

Fame was good, but one song cannot redeem an entire album.

Not my preference but not bad enough to turn off. Some interesting beat patterns.

Generic rock album. Nothing outstanding.

Just sounded like a garage band noodling around for an hour jam session. Had some catchy bits, but way too long for what it was.

It was fine.

I like the quartet style. Wish it was longer.

Not my favorite. Album art is sick though.

Not bad but a little boring.

Kinda sad. Nice acoustic play though.

Some nice drum and bass.

I really enjoy the sound of an orchestra mixed with rock. I'm sure that if I were more knowledgeable about history, the lyrics would have more meaning. Sounded good regardless.

Fine to listen to in the background. Probably wouldn't listen again though.

I still like the Jazzy/pop sound, but her cadence on a few songs put me off a little. Still some good ones though.

I don't think I'm a big fan of older rap styles.
