1001 Albums Summary

Good album, but not really stand out from the genre or from the era that it comes from.

Good example of the underground genre. Pleasant listen, can definitely come back to listen to it again. The rap flows very naturally, and the beats are simple but catchy and great to listen to.

Good album, if you like jazz. If you don't find yourself enjoying jazz, you might as well skip it because you will definitely find it boring. Had its moments, but not enough to leave me wanting for more. I might have to do a second listen.

Really good album, the composition is amazing and his vocals are top-notch. A shame that he's a wife-beater.

Amazing album, I didn't know acoustic instruments could go so hard if you made them. Definitely can hear the influence that this album could have had on punk bands that came after. Will definitely come back to it again.

I think this album inherently knows that it's gonna make the listener fall asleep, because it has that big explosion in the middle of it to wake you up in case you had. Anyway, boring album. Only song that stands out is Working Class Hero, which is kind ironic 'cause John Lennon was definitely not part of the working class.

Hah, this is definitely white suburban people rock. It fucking sucks.

Amazing album. It's refreshing to listen to rap in other languages that are not English. MC Solaar always delivers with his rhymes and rhythms.

Not Bowie's best work, admittedly. It probably got the shining reviews it did just for his recent passing. It's a good album, but I wouldn't call it the best thing he ever did. Lazarus is a standout track, and probably the best out of this whole record. Overall, it's a good listen.

It's Tear For Fears. It's obviously gonna be good.

Good album, very nice to listen to. Not exceptionally remarkable in any other way, though.

Man, I fucking love The Strokes. This debut album is by no means "The New Abnormal" but it clearly shone a light about the kind of band they were set to become.

Very experimental work by Kate Bush, which honestly works very well for her. People may find this album very clashing with her other releases, but it has its highlights, despite its weirdness at times. Overall, you might have to listen to it several times to enjoy it, which is a polarizing action when it comes to listening to albums.

Karen Carpenter's voice is really beautiful and definitely the highlight of this album. The album itself is very sweet, mellow and tender; definitely nice if you want some calming music to listen to.

Nah, I would rather have Yoshimi than this album.

This album sounds exactly the same all through its run-time. There's nothing remarkable about it.

Excellent musical composition, horrible vocals.

If "Smooth" by Santana got turned into a band, this is what it would sound like.

Probably, Green Day's last good album. Everything after this one (with the exception of 21st Century Breakdown perhaps) sounds rehashed to hell and back. I miss when they didn't take themselves so seriously as they do now. American Idiot is a good, cohesive album all around. It has its weak moments, but it makes up for it picking up pace whenever it misses it. "Jesus of Suburbia" is definitely the best song in the album.

Turns out Eagles have better songs than Hotel California.

I can't forgive humanity for making Wonderwall more famous than Champagne Supernova.

Definitely one of the most exemplary albums of the classic rock genre.

One of my favorite albums ever. Fiona Apple always delivers.

It's David Bowie.

One of the best albums ever made. Seriously.

The most generic music you'll ever listen to in your life.

Hmm, its difficult to find the appeal of Joy Division's music, except for a few tracks here and then. This album was particularly hard to get through; there's just one or two tracks where it feels like you're not drowning in melancholy. But maybe that's the point... And if that's the point, we'll... definitely not an album for me.

Really solid album. It's a testament to how good Queen are overall, because it's really difficult to pick what's better: the musical arrangement or the vocals. They can never disappoint.

Brother, the only thing that your album destroyed is my will to live.

Solid album. Can see why Alice Cooper was influential for several bands.

Not the best Radiohead album out there. Might be too experimental for most people.

No, just no. Not a single distinguishable song amongst this mess.

Definitely one of the albums I would play on the day I decide to kill myself.

Absolutely incredible album. Definitely coming back to listen to it again.

Amazing album, Kendrick never disappoints.

Wow, simply astounding. The combination of genres and influences is just exquisite in this album. Definitely putting it on my rotation.

The quintessential Smashing Pumpkins album. There's something for everyone here. You definitely gotta get used to Billy Corgan's voice, though; I would say he's an acquired taste.

Don't know how I loved this album before. Honestly, it ain't all that.

I miss her dearly; she was taken too soon from this world. I wish her life had been easier. Not just for her endless talent, but also because she deserved to live so much more.

Man, this album deserves all the accolades it gets. My only wish is that it was longer.

Wow, consider me surprised by how good this album is. Wyclef Jean's influence in some of the tracks was amazingly good, and Lauryn Hill's flow is one of the best I have ever heard. Definitely listening to it again.

Live at Folsom Prison felt somehow better than this one.

A fucking classic of the nu-metal genre, and the best album Linkin Park ever released.

If an album could be a definition of "fun", it would definitely be this one. Not a single boring song here, only Cyndi Lauper having a great time.

Don't think I need to listen to ambient music in any way before I die. I think my life is perfectly fine without it.

Best Kate Bush album, by far. Always an enjoyable listen.

One of the most enjoyable albums I've listened to in a while.

Filed under "albums that are just insanely fun".

Turns out I didn't hate AC/DC, I just hated Highway to Hell.

I refuse to listen to anything made by this bigot.

"I Heard it Through the Grapevine" might have just changed my life.

Gem of an album, gem of an artist. Will forever wonder where her artistry would have gone all these years. She's dearly missed.

Never really got into reggae music, but I can definitely hear the appeal. Kudos to this one for being rooted in societal issues related to racism and discrimination.

Almost fell asleep while listening to this one.

Liked "It's Blitz!" better. The only song I actually enjoyed from this one is "Maps".

We get it, you're good at guitar.

I don't understand how this album is relevant to the list. Pretty generic stuff. Also, would have liked if only the girl sang; the guy is really bad at singing.

Might be the best Oasis record out there.

Meh.

Don't really get the hype over this band.

Went in with zero expectations, and I left with a good album to keep on rotation.

Your good, ol' British 80s metal. Can't go wrong with it.

Gotta always say yes to Yes.

This album is the personification of that "Mr. Incredible becoming unsettled" meme.

Good album.

Appreciate Dolly Parton, but not even she's gonna make me enjoy country music.

Why is this on the list? Why should it be anywhere? "Let's Get Killed"? Sure, David, I would rather go ahead and try to do that before I listen to some of your music ever again.

Someone take my boy to the doctor.

Janis Joplin went the fuck off here. Amazing album.

Nice.

Some neat songs, but otherwise, unremarkable.

Boring.

\m/

Nice album, I can hear The Beatles influence but they have their own style shining through, as well.

Snooze fest.

Might be the best U2 album I have listened to.

Can see why this would appeal some people, but it just wasn't for me. Sorry.

Good that you're good at guitar, but that's enough, man.

The absolute GOAT of soul music.

Interesting album, I just wish it had a bit more cohesion. Really tripped me off in some songs, how similar to Thom Yorke his voice is.

Bro, no one told me they were able to go this hard.

Yawn.

It's my time to finally admit that I really, really enjoy R.E.M.'s music.

One of the best by them, by far.

Gotta love Coldplay's old albums. They scratch some sort of musical itch.

Album got pretty interesting by the end of it. Might have to put this one on my "listen to it again" list.

Brilliant. Perfectly encompasses what ambient music should be like.

Bittersweet Symphony carries this whole album. Maybe, just maybe... Lucky Man, too. Other than that, it's pretty unremarkable.

Snoooooooooooze.

So unabashedly 90s; this is what I imagine that era to sound like whenever I think of it. You just can't get tired of this album.

One of the best MTV Unplugged performances. Nothing beats how raw Kurt sounds here; it's so genuine, you can't help but love it.

There's no voice out there like Chris Cornell's. That alone makes this album fantastic.

Some gems here and there, but I just really wish this album had more cohesion in it.

Elliott Smith just speaks to my soul, man. In his own, wise words: I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow.

Neat album.

Absolute classic.

Good ol' rock and roll. "When the Levee Breaks" has to be up there as one of this band's best songs.

This album will never be underrated. If anything, it deserves all the accolades it gets everywhere. Top-tier, beautifully crafted.

This is Kendrick's best album, hands down.

Not Dark Side of the Moon but still quite good.

Very neat album, this singer is very good at story-telling.

All-time favorite.

Never thought I would say this about a Taylor Swift album but... I liked it, it was enjoyable.
