1001 Albums Summary

Felt very nostalgic, even though I never listened to Nirvana growing up, but this sort of music is what I gravitated towards when I first started to veer away from our 80's prog rock household (thanks dad). These days I listen to more softer stuff, do I think I would have enjoyed this more as a 20 year old than in my thirties. Enjoyed the more cacophonic stuff.

Sleepy but not in a good way. I'm a boring person but not this boring.

Really liked it! May need a couple of relistens to get a handle on it.

When I was delighted at first by Map of the Problematique and then disappointed when it turned out not to be an instrumental, I realized I just don't like the singer.

Airy, space-agey, chill

I must have heard this first before I'd learned English. So it's kinda hard to listen to this as music and not as hazy memories. Three stars?

I liked some of that jazzier songs, but other than that it didn't really register as spectacular

When some of the guitars started to remind me of Oasis, I knew I really liked this one!

Pretty good

Sort of definitionally sensual. I don't think I'd ever be like today I want to re-listen to this.

I really liked the first couple of songs, but then it started to wear on me. Maybe should not have listened to near bedtime. Dad music?

Another album I've heard before. I don't know if I'd ever listen to it on my own though. Pleasant enough for a Sunday morning. 3/5

Good biking music for my commute. Appreciated the instrumental tracks for breaks.

Groovy and pleasant. Dad music to the max.

There were a couple of songs I liked (We're in Your Corner, Good to be on the road Back home again), but in general just wasn't to my tastes.

Pleasant enough, but not particularly memorable.

Very cool jazz. I'm generally more into east coast jazz but this is nice too.

So smooth nothing stuck to the brain

Found this quote on Wikipedia: "The big problem with Disposable Heroes was that it was a record people listened to because it was good for them - kind of like broccoli." and I do tend to agree. The album is quite dense, and full of ideas on top of mostly moody beats. I was still glad to have heard this.

So many great songs

Ray Charles with an orchestra. Nice enoughm

Full of 90's irony in a way I really liked

I can appreciate an album with a song about the Seventh Seal

Neat little concept album and his voice is great

Probably good writing music

Whatever humor there might have been did not translate for the simple fact that the music and especially the rapping was like nails on chalkboard. My least favorite of this project so far.

Very nostalgic

Nice enough

Pretty good biking music

Pretty good, would probably be more impactful with the visuals

The kind of album I might start really loving after a couple of listens, but for now this

Quite long but some good songs. Latter Hal better imo

If it was half the length it would easily earn another star

A very nostalgic album for me as this was one of the first albums I ventured into when I started to listen to my 'own' music. Some of the lyrics are quite clunky now 15 years later but still familiar

Surprisingly enjoyable as I'm not much for harder music. Ozzy's voice is in a league of his own

Samey production in every song and her singing was samey too. Can't say I enjoyed this at all.

Energetic and raw are the only words for this

Perfectly charming. A best example of what a live album can be

Tunes were nice but did not stick particularly

I rather liked the instrumentals but maybe the singing wasn't to my tastes. Easily is a non-single highlight

An absolute delight from start to end

Pretty good. If you're really into southern rock, you're probably into this. For me this was pleasant enough, but not something I'll return to.

60's rock just ain't for me

I love me some art pop

Dreamy and lovely

The start of the album was enjoyable but by the end it was sounding like children's tv show themes, so two it is

It's alright but not my genre

The lyrics are so good, even if the music is quite simplistic

Perfectly alright with a couple of cool jazzier tunes

The beginning of the album was better.

Had some cool tunes

A classic for a reason. Enjoyed this a lot

It was alright, liked some of the songs a lot but in general am not that into 60's stuff

Alright but not too memorable

Wasn't really my thing

I knew them from Wolf Like Me and was delighted by this album. Definitely adding it to the regular rotation.

Chill and pretty melancholy music

Some really good stuff in there. I've yet to find a rap album skit I enjoy

Some classic tunes on there

Im 32 I can only take so much of someone screaming die or fucker at me

Summery BritPop

There were some songs I liked musically but I just can't get over the lyrics

Melodic and chill, the sort that after a couple of listens I might really start to love

Rootsy and fun

Classic blues

Very 90's British music

Just wasn't feeling this

Sounds like Bruce but more inside feelings

Another v British one

Just my kinds of tunes

Groovy and fun, just don't pay too much attention to the lyrics

A great discovery

Definitely achieves what it wants to. I can see myself listening to this and writing horror

Gets a bit repetitive and it's quite a long. Still good music. 3/5

Lively classical blues

Very very Irish

Had some good tunesm wasn't too big a fan of the slower tunes

Good stuff

Pretty good

Never heard of her but definitely will listen to more of this

There was a row of songs in the middle (6-8) that if the whole album had been like that, it could easily be four stars. Otherwise it was a bit too adult contemporary for me.

Very much my type of stuff

The first half is pretty fun, but as a whole it's quite incoherent. 3/5

I like her voice. The whole album is sonically quite dark. Something I would have liked more when I was younger I think

Pretty good

Aretha is a classic but not my tempo

The music is driving, the lyrics are complex and occasionally incomprehensible. A good time!

There were some interesting things but it did not grab me. Will have to give a relisten

Metallica had a hurdle to clear what with me not liking metal in general. The music is alright, but all the songs are soooooo long and the singer sings them all exactly the same, ugh. Orion was my favorite as it has no singing, tho that too could cut like 3 minutes.
