1001 Albums Summary

Great feel good live album. Every song falls nicely into the next. The real definition of soul and r n b. Will definitely be checking out more Sam Cooke.

I wasn’t expecting too much when I saw that Meat Loafs Bat Out Of Hell the was the next album to explore, however I was pleasantly surprised. It’s easy to see why this 1977 rock opera of an album is loved worldwide. It’s a well written, produced and recorded album of singalong anthems and toe tapping Melodie’s. Coming off the back of the success of The Rocky Horror Picture Show it compliments the rock opera/musical Genre. Highlights were two out of three ain’t bad and dashboard.

Overall I didnt find it too much of a chore to listen to this album. I expected nothing more or nothing else and that’s exactly what I received. Didn’t find the mandolin on a few of the tracks was needed whatsoever. It’s a little like ordering an orange juice with bits of pulp. The little added extra bits won’t make the taste anymore refreshing with or without them. A little pointless. Highlights:- Stand Orange Crush

An absolute phenomenal album of epic proportion. This album debuts the melodic charm of John Michael Osbournes vocals on slower songs such as changes. Tony iommi once again shows us the dark, riff driven guitars from suburban Birmingham. Hard to believe it’s 50 years old and fascinating to see where heavy rock/metal would be without this groundbreaking release. Also it’s said they spent more on cocaine than it cost the album to make. Enter the song - snowblind. Perfection.

Seamless, enjoyable and exotic listen. Will be revisiting.

Meh.

It’s hard to find any fault with this piece of music history. A compelling listen that always makes me wanting more. Sublime.

A great melodic, rhythmic and energetic album. Various changes of musical styles compliments Simon’s vocal and lyrical approach.

Not classic frank. But still a noteworthy entry.

A collective mix. Tends to drift into different directions and makes it hard listen.

Some good songs for a band still trying to find their feet. Unfortunately not for me.

Hugely influential and a glaring display of brilliance

Could have been so much more. Not for me

Great album. A definite insight to the world of albarn.

Classic tull

Not a huge yes fan. But appreciate the intricate guitar and rhythmic pieces

Lackluster.

Not for me. Better luck next time.

Too experimental, uneasy listen.

Bonafide classic

Fantastic debut album which highly belongs on this definite list.

Didn’t hate it. But this is the outcome of a narcissist with a Casio keyboard.

Epilepsy for the ears.

First half rather absent. Second half phenomenal.

Sublime. This album offers a huge variety of musical explorations.

Great musicianship. Music flows effortlessly.

Not a huge Coldplay fan. But can’t deny great songs. Accompanied with well thought out lyrics and on the whole well produced. You don’t have to get something to appreciate it.

Feel good nostalgia.

The perfect album. Phenomenal.
