1001 Albums Summary

Lots of high energy, though the second half seems slightly more subdued.

Good grooves, very jazzy. The tone shifts from the first half of the album to the second, somewhat starkly?

Oh hey, that's where the girl from Ipanema comes from.

It's good, but I'm not hugely excited by it.

Desolation Row goes on for so long without being... good. Other than that a very good album.

Damn

Very Country, not really my deal. At least it's old country.

Subtle werewolves

I am surprised how much I liked this.

Wow, this is not my taste.

That's a good album, super iconic.

I do not like this

Not entertaining

Solid, though not great.

Why does Bowie always flub the last few songs?

This is basically my entire 14-17 year old life.

Started really well, but By the Time I get to Phoenix is not a particularly good song.

Ah hey, Boston. This band is pretty good, surprisingly so.

Sad and sweet

Classic

Unimpressed

Not my taste

I was not expecting that brassy section in Keep the Customer Satisfied.

He goes from poet to toilet, which is great, except I don't really enjoy it.

Didn't finish, not super invested?

Wow, very experimental, not very good.

It was alright

That was pretty good, rather mellow.

That's nice!

Unsurprisingly peppy.

Not my jam, but good.

Solid, but not my jam.

That is very good

Not my taste.

Oh hey, it's the toy story guy.

Mid

Feels very mid? It has some good parts, but I don't want to listen to this again.

Very symphonic, not great?

Not a huge fan of Latin music, it's good but doesn't really work for me

I do love brass...

It's very iconic.

It's... alright? Not something I would really recommend.

It's good, but the changes in style and tone make it somewhat difficult to enjoy.

Eh?

Ended up liking it much more than expected.

Meh? This doesn't seem super good?

Very White Suburban Rage, their first album doesn't really hit the same way anymore.

I'm solidly Meh?

Got some good funk going

Peppy!

Some very iconic songs on this album

It's good, but it feels kinda... uninspired?

Bleh.

Some solid bangers in here, damn.

An absolute classic.

I'm certain there's something impressive about this, but it's just kinda janky noise to me.

Slaps

?????

Surprised how much I like this, though not really something I would want to listen to in my own time.

I like Bruce Springsteen, but this doesn't feel like his best work.

Great album, with some odd choices.

Not their best album, but some solid bangers.

Great sound, some fantastic classics in the album.

Pretty good!

Forgettable? I listened to it and immediately forgot I listened to it.

Surprised how much I like this, though the later works do have a sort of low, tension inducing noise that I don't really appreciate.

Not as good as I was expecting, wow.

I'm certain this is very nice for someone, but that someone is not me.

Very solid.

Classic

It fits the name very well.

I can see why these guys are so well known.

That was... weird. Not bad, just strange.

Pretty good!

I don't know how much the orchestra actually contributed? Good, but feels kinda gimmicky.

SUPERFLY!

Very alright, but I feel like her other work outshines.

Wow, that was really boring.

Love me some Sting.

THIS ALBUM IS LOOOOOOOOOONG

Wow, noise!

That was fun, the beginning was rather standard, but in the last 6 or so songs they really showed their stuff.

That was fine?

Egh

Again, wow, this is bad.

Noise!

That was good, but not my style

It's not bad, but I would never actually want to listen to this again.

That was pretty good!

Another blast from my teens.

This is my style!

This holds up really well.

That was pretty good, but not super memorable.

That was solid.

Great groove.

Not my jam, but good.

This is good. Not great, but good.

Some classic songs

Huh, that didn't start great, but the middle was pretty solid.

That was alright, not sure what makes it so good? Just an incomprehensible grumbling for the most part.

While it has a good beat, I don't understand a single word.

Wasn't as good as I was expecting.

Another blast from my teenage years, though it hasn't aged as well as I thought it would.

That was alright.

Not a huge fan of nothing but bland instrumental.

This just seems like... bad themed rap?

A classic.

Oh my god this album is long. What I got through isn't bad though.

That was solidly mid.

Like, alright?

This is pretty solid!

Love me some Paul Simon

Great, a good mix of just ROCK and story telling.

This is good, but nothing that makes it a 'must listen.'

Not my jam.

This is pretty good!

I would rather slowly drown than listen to this again.

Not what I expected of Radiohead, to be honest.

This is solid.

Not something I find enjoyable.

I like this, very smooth.

That was very good! Sweet and to the point.

I enjoyed it, though sometimes it goes a little to hard for me.

Very good

Eh

Classic good vibes.

I was surprised how funky it was, rather enjoyable.

I do not like Joy Division

This is alright?

Solid Meh.

Enjoyable.

Not my style

Solid first album

Strange and interesting.

Not my jam.

This isn't as interesting as some of there other work.

Peppy! Still not really that interesting, or more than just a kinda OK album. 3/5

It's good, but it feels like it goes on for a lot longer than it should.

Ugh 1/5

Funky and fun!

Love Sinatra.

So freaking long. There are some good songs, but the length just drags.

Funky, interesting enough for its length.

Very solid, but I don't really go with the lyrics or overall vibe. 3/5

Strange, but good! 4/5

I was not expecting this from some guy in a bathrobe.

These guys are great!

Enjoyable, though not super gripping.

Ending on a resounding note, this is very good, and I enjoyed it greatly.

That was pretty decent.

Not bad, but not really best of?

Again, good, but how is this one of the best albums?

Love it

Some solid bangers, though it ends strangely?

Oh man, this swings! Energetic and fun.

Meh?

Started good, then got very experimental in not a great way.

Not bad by any means, but certainly not my style.

Alright. 3

Fun and soothing, just what I needed.

Solid album

Not sure I really understand?

Wow, I hadn't realized how many of these I already knew.

Pretty good.

Good, but strange?

Love me some sinatra, brings me back to when I was a teenager.

This is very experimental, and not in a positive way.

This is good!

Good, but it feels same-y?

Pretty good, though a fair amount of 'noise'.

It's certainly not bad, but I'm unsure how this is one of the best?

A lot of these songs are basically the same song, but slightly different lyrics? Still decent, at least for the melody.

It's certainly specific.

This guy is kinda full of himself? Good songs though.

3/5

Yeeeeeah!

Alright, nothing to crow about.

Interesting, but quite a lot of 'noise'.

Very solid, I like the theme.

Blech 2/5

Horrible screeching in the first song is time I will never get back.

Forgettable.

Very solid.

Pretty good, not really exemplary.

A+

Pretty solid, nothing exemplary.

I'm surprised how much emotion this piano has, I was initially dismissive of it but there is obviously a lot of heart here.

Has some great classics.

Pretty peppy!

It was ok?

Meh, not bad, but nothing to write home about?

Great! I listened to it twice.

Solid

Solid

It's good, but so gods damned long.

Surprised how much I enjoyed this, some excellent sampling.

Solid classic, love me some Jefferson Airplane.

How is this something that you should listen to? It's just modern pop?! It's not bad modern pop, but that's what it is. 2/5

Just sort of noise, though not terrible noise.

So, there is obviously a huge amount of history with this album, but given how influential it was, it feels like it just became generic british pop.

Frenetic and energetic, it's a fun album!

I don't dislike it, but it doesn't bring a whole lot that is interesting or unique to the table.

It's fine

Interesting, but I don't understand french.

Fun, but not something I would want to listen to all the time.

Classic, amazing bowie.

Not what I would call the best Joni Mitchell album? But basically fine.

Meh? Feels very generic.

Classic rock

Eh? Like, the singer has a good voice, but nothing really makes me want to listen to it again.

Some good songs here.

Ehhhh, not my jam.

Good! His voice kinda melds the songs into one another?

This is good, but I like there other stuff more.

It's pretty good, but I'm not drawn to it.

This is quintessential psychedelic rock, which means I don't really get it or enjoy, but hey.

Surprisingly tonefull, this album still hits hard.

I appreciate the message, but it's not for me.

This album felt very short, and none of the songs really had that huge of an impact.

Enjoyable, old school sort of feeling.

Astounding.

I really like this, it's so smooth.

Good, though kinda aimless, so I doubt I would listen to it again.

Solid Meh

Short, and it has some good songs, but overall really boring.

This was unexpected, funky, fresh, and all around good time.

A huge variety here, none of it bad, but it feels like the vast array of styles and genres doesn't really mesh well.

Some of U2's best work

Suzanne Vega always impresses. It starts a little anemic, but the end is well worth the price of admission alone.

Classic Marley

Very long, fun, but I didn't understand it at all, so I don't want to listen to it again.

So many of these songs feel like the same line again and again, repeated for 2 minutes.

Surprised how much I liked this.

Very solid, with a great finish.

That was very listenable.

Love me some David Gray. White Ladder was listened to on repeat in high school.

Ugh, it just kinda rambles and gets close to good, but the fact that it never gets there is worse than something that never gets close.

Good, but nothing really stood out to me.

Solid, very entertaining.

Love Steely Dan, Aja is an amazing classic.

It's alright, got some good top 100's, but I won't be seeking it out again.

It was solidly OK.

Not normally my jam, but this is very solid. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it.

It's good, has Nirvana vibes, but I'm not in love with the noise aspect of it.

Well, I certainly listened to that. Retained nothing from it.

Unimpressed

Some bangers that hit a lot harder today than expected.

Solid, though a somewhat weak end.

It's iconic, but I'm not impressed.

Very solid, very soothing.

Buffalo Stance slaps, wow.

Super boring, nothing in this is particularly worth being an album you must listen to.

Interesting and melodic.

Surprisingly fresh, it has a good groove that's still fun to bob your head to.

Reminds me of fallout, in a positive way.

I was unimpressed.

Unimpressive.

Felt like a lot of noise and not a lot of music.

It's good, but kinda drags.

It was long and had a lot of noise in it.

I was originally somewhat reticent, I like the Killers, but something you have to listen to? The entire album is good.

I'm a fan of swing, but not of pure orchestral, so this is a bit of a toss-up for me.

Surprising.

Decent

Surprised how much I enjoyed this.

A classic album. Not my favorite, but very good never the less.

Very good, but I didn't resonate with most of it.

Some solid songs here.

Wow this is bad.

That was pretty cool, I enjoyed it.

I honestly didn't notice when the album ended.

Enjoyed it, but not really to my taste.

An absolute classic.

I like CCR, but this isn't their best album by far.

Meh

Very unimpressed.

Inoffensive, but nothing actually happens.

Not bad, but very 'art piece'.

Did not enjoy.

Just not very interesting.

Solid album with some excellent bangers.

Good, but certainly not his best work.

It wasn't pure instrumental, but it felt like it was, and not in a good way.

A solid addition to the R.E.M. canon, I know it best for "It's the end of the world as we know it".

This was OK, but nothing stuck out to me.

Meh.

Very solid.

It was fun, at the very least.

Was... was his voice always that gravelly? Like, I know he was rough, but this sounds like a racoon being dragged through a quarry filled with fiberglass leavings. Still good though.

This was very good, though some of it felt choppy, like it was stitched together.

It was alright.

I'm sure it's great when you can understand it, but I can't.

Not interested.

Funky fresh!

Very fun, and the drummers(?) songs were funny.

Started kinda weak, but I ended up enjoying it.

Not super impressed.

I wasn't particularly impressed by this.

Solid vocals, nice lyrics.

Classic

It's OK, but I'm not suitably impressed or interested.

It doesn't have some of there best known work, but is a solid addition to their repertoire.

That was alright.

Not feeling it, really. Feels weak compared to basically everything else he has composed.

I like it, solid songs.

I was not loving the start, but the album had a really solid finish.

I wasn't expecting much, but this blew me out of the water.

Started good, then industrial noise, then pretty good?

I was familiar with them, but damn, this is good.

Pleasantly surprised. Solidly interesting from beginning to end.

That slapped!

That was awesome! Brings back memories.

MEH!

Man has an great voice, I'll give him that.

It seems good, but I can't understand a word.

It may just be the voice, but many of these songs feel like the same song, repeated again and again.

Started really strong, then just kinda went... somewhere incomprehensible.

That was good.

It was OK, it kinda felt like noise mostly, but decent noise.

Very angry, without a huge amount of direction.

I honestly didn't notice listening to it.

I considered it OK until the end, that was great.

Not my interest.

Has some good beats, but not understanding a single word saps any enjoyment I can get from it.

I have listened to this album so much due to Fallout New Vegas. It's not actually amazing, but very good.

Pretty good, but it didn't feel particularly interesting?

Oh wow, that slaps hard, I can not understand why I haven't heard of this band before?

Very nice and soothing.

Screaming out of 1989, it's a solid OK.

This is pretty good, but why is it a must listen?

Solid, though I feel that it loses a lot of presence on the tail end. The two pure instrumental tracks are unnecessary.

Albarn is very... uninteresting, vocally.

Felt like a lot of noise, not a lot of song.

Fun, not the most amazing. Some great covers though.

I don't know if I understand this, though it sounds nice-ish?

Solid A, enjoyed it a lot, though I don't know if this particular album will be on my repeat list.

I was underwhelmed.

Very long, but very good, I was shocked how much I enjoyed this.

Very noise, not super impressed.

It's all very solid.

When the opening song actively drives me away, I can't appreciate the rest of it.

The contrast between this and The Chronic is pronounced. I enjoyed it, it has a fun beat, and it wasn't inherently hostile right off the bat.

Love me some Steely Dan, though this one doesn't quite have the level of bangers that their other albums have. The later half is solid though.

Felt very bland, not bad though, just kinda elevator music-ish?

Solid Paul Simon.

Good, but very much not for me.

It was alright.

A+, very good.

I enjoyed it, but it wasn't something I would seek out and listen to again.

Some of this is decent, good even, but the vast majority is just modern pop drivel.

A lot of noise and not a great amount of substance.

Enjoyable.

I was largely unimpressed by it.

Very good, a classic for a reason.

It's technically good, but I'm not getting much out of it.

Interesting, but not that interesting.

Has some famous songs, but not the best album overall.

I have tried to listen to this 3 times, and not be able to finish it at any point. It's only 50-something minutes, but it feels much, much longer.

It's Alright.

I wasn't very moved by it, it just was one long series of mouth noises.

Entertaining, more than I was expecting.

Very solid, highly listenable.

I enjoyed that.

I can understand easily why this is on here.

Ugh, deliberate unsettling noise isn't pleasant to listen to.

Solid, pure Jazz.

That was alright, though it ended kinda soft.

Ends on an absolute banger.

I wasn't really going for it off the bat, but it certainly grew on me.

Pretty alright, though mostly for the groove.

Sort of bland, not really that interesting overall?

I was pretty good, though it may be the age, but felt rather generic.

Very enjoyable, solid riffs.

There's good stuff here, but I don't think it's better than their actual studio albums.

I wasn't incredibly impressed, nothing was exciting or very interesting about it.

It's not super interesting, nor does it really do anything particularly new?

I can see why this was impressive for the time, but it doesn't really hit the same way today. That being said, it holds up pretty well.

All the parts that involve singing are decent, all the pure acoustic parts just fly right by me.

Solid album, very fun.

Very good old country, though the amount of crooner in it doesn't do it any favors.

Damn!

Wow, that was really good. Her range and depth of both style and form was fantastic.

Good, with solid bangers, but the end just kinda fades away...

That was really interesting and I am surprised how much I enjoyed it.

Pretty good, though it felt like a bit of 'generic female singer.'

Interesting, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it.

Solid, but not amazing.

I was positive about the sounds, then it didn't really live up to the beginning.

Cool art, neat style, not much substance.

Solid MEH, wouldn't want to listen to this again, but not bad, just boring.

Short, good, and sweet. A solid album, but I can't say I really know any of his work, nor does it seem particularly amazing?

There was one or two alright songs, but mostly it wasn't particularly interesting.

Nah.

Not particularly interesting.

What, how is this good or notable?

That was fine.

Pleasantly funky.

Wasn't that amazed by it, rather bland really?

It's not horrible, but it did give my girlfriend a headache after 6 minutes.

Pretty fun.

Random acoustic and instrumental sections does not do this any favors.

Solid, very interesting composition.

Has some classic bangers, but the ending just wrecks it, why would you waste everything on 8 minutes of garbage ambient?

That was fine, not remarkable.

I tried to listen to this multiple times, it isn't bad, but nothing in it really draws me in or makes me want to listen to it again.

I surprisingly really liked this. It goes on for way to long, but other than that it it vibes really well.

Solid country.

It is, in fact, a bittersweet symphony, but that's life.

There was good stuff on this, but it felt very self-congratulatory, to the extent that it really wasn't for me.

Eh, alright.

I was not super impressed for most of this, but the end really came together, very solid.

Thank gods it's short.

It was OK. Not amazed by anything on it though.

Good singer, terrible everything else, like wow, is that a let down.

Enjoyed it more than I expected.

It's OK, but didn't hold my interest enough to keep listening.

Very eclectic, interesting.

Wow, that was shockingly good.

Interesting and eclectic.

Pretty good, probably wouldn't listen to it again though.

That was pretty fun, I'm surprised they are in the 2000's, they feel like a much older era.

Enjoyable.

That was interesting, though fairly experimental for my tastes.
