The Colour Of Spring
Talk TalkSonically strong, my opinion may improve with more listens
Sonically strong, my opinion may improve with more listens
one of the albums of all time
has sabotage on it
Easy 5 stars and Kendrick’s second best album behind TPAB imo. To this day I still do not understand how tf Macklemore won the rap album Grammy over this
Did not enjoy it unfortunately. Felt like one samey-sounding song for the entire thing
Really cool concept album. Mix of indie rock with impressive orchestral arrangements throughout. Also has the longest song titles of any album I’ve ever seen.
Will always like The Who because they played the Super Bowl halftime the year the Saints won. Unfortunately this album doesn't have Pinball Wizard.
Incredible funk album from start to finish. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard it before this.
Starts off strong but becomes a bit more hit and miss afterward.
It’s Jimi Hendrix. ‘Nuff said.
Never heard of this guy before, but this was really good. “The Ocean” is utterly fantastic.
A good album but not really tempted (ha) to listen to it again
It’s Elvis so it’s good, but too many tracks are just “okay” to elevate this album for me
Rami Malek did a great job here
A classic. No other way to describe it
give it away give it away give it away now
They put this on the list over Graduation?!
Pretty good, Changes is the standout track for me
Solid album overall
Overall a good album, though I tend to prefer the west coast style compared to east coast when it comes to 90s hip hop. Would probably like this more with additional listens
Not a big Van Halen fan but this is solid
should’ve just been an instrumental album
“Alright guys for this album we’re going to be using our inside voices”
loved it, major Beatles vibes
iraq lobster
Solid album. DJ Premier is one of the all time great producers and Guru (RIP) is really good rapping on here.
Excellent album. Wish it was on Spotify.
Listened to this album while on a bike ride and the vibes were good
Good overall, but can’t see myself listening to it again
guess I’m a germaphobe
relaxing record
what happened to old tango
delicious. finally some good fucking food
Great album, especially for a debut
Great album but making a 20 minute song should be criminalized
Decent album but really doesn’t do much for me
When I saw the album title and cover I got exciting thinking this might be an album full of sea shanties. Sadly, it is not.
Not bad overall
A classic, not a bad track on here imo
album is all over the place but I kinda vibed with it somehow
Biden propaganda smh /s
We must never allow the British to achieve a cultural victory
Good album but probably not something I’d go back to
Am starting to think the author(s) of this list is British
Easy 5 stars and Kendrick’s second best album behind TPAB imo. To this day I still do not understand how tf Macklemore won the rap album Grammy over this
meh, pretty boring
Strong album, but could've been a bit shorter
Really good listen from start to finish and probably more of a 4.5
“Who the hell are these guys” *first song plays* “oh”
1001 (British) Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die
A couple good tracks but largely forgettable imo
Surprised how much I liked this one
Surprised how much I enjoyed this
Enjoyable listen from start to finish
Don’t think I’ll revisit this one but it was a cool listen
Yeah not feeling this one
Great album
Really great album and I'd say this is more of a 4.5
Some interesting songs but not something I see myself revisiting
Alright album. Some strong highs.
Not a big van of this one I’m afraid
Not something I’d probably listen to again but some good stuff here
Minimum 4 because of Sledgehammer, the rest of the album gets it to the 5 star
Track 4, Track 5, Track 6
Solid, close to a 5 for me
Really unfortunate that this person had to follow albums by Michael Jackson and Prince
Sadly does not feature a lyric that says “like Mario and Princess Beach”
Awesome album
solid overall.
Was hoping to like it more, but for now I just think it's okay
the planet was not rocking I’m afraid
shoutout gta Sam Andreas for putting me on this
This meat loaf doesn’t need ketchup to be good
it’s okay I guess
Criminally not fun
probably not something I’d revisit but can appreciate the artistry here
Decent overall
Would’ve been better if they had Eddie Murphy on it
I love when we get these niche albums
Fine but nothing too memorable imo
The Genius. What else can be said?
Definitely an album from the early 2000's
Great album, shit person
Solid overall, i'd probably put this at 3.5
known country music hater hates country album
Fine overall
definitely one of the albums of all time
Alright overall but the gulf between song 2 and the next best song on this album is significant
Has a song about TV dinners which is neat
solid old school reggae album
Solid album
It’s alright but mother is awful
First few tracks were mediocre imo, but as the album went on it got a lot more consistent
that fucking guitar in walk on by holy shit
Solid album and i'd probably put it at 4.5
A couple decent tracks but nothing too special imo
well damn. I already liked the song from Stranger Things, turns out the whole album slaps
Not as good as Licensed to Ill but still solid overall.
I Should (go) Coco (for Cocoa Puffs)
Sonically strong, my opinion may improve with more listens
Needed better production badly
Very forgettable imo
Clearly the minority opinion here but I was very disappointed by this album.
Never really listened to Muse before but this was fantastic
Pretty enjoyable but not a standout for me
not very fun fun fun in the autobahn
Great listen
Third Neil Young album the list has given me. Another solid one. Down by the River is the standout here
This should be played at high volume. Preferably, in a residential area.
Last third is much stronger than the rest of the album imo
Didn’t stick with me unfortunately
NOLA legend
no one man should have all that power
what the fuck
Solid album, Solsbury Hill being the standout track
gorlami
Did not enjoy it unfortunately. Felt like one samey-sounding song for the entire thing
Excellent live album. 4.5/5
Solid overall
bjoring
Alright but nothing too memorable
Enjoyable but has some misses
The song “born to run” was on as Biden announced he was dropping out well done universe
I’m actually okay with fewer songs about buildings and food thanks
Yeah this one can stay off Spotify
Enjoyable but probably a one timer for me
First track blew me away. Strong 4.5
I hate country music so this getting 5 stars from me is shocking
it’s Abbey Road
Please God enough with the Kraftwerk albums this is the third one and I definitely could’ve died without hearing each of them
one of the albums of all time
Great album
your uncle’s favorite album
baseball stadium ahh music
rip queen
Yacht Rock: The Album
Lyrics ruin what would have otherwise been an awesome record. Guitar riffs, vocal talent, it’s all there. But the lyrics would’ve been better off written by AI
In My Life is the best Beatles song imo
Excellent songwriting
dude is horrendously down bad
Decent
I mean the songs are great but not sure what was special about this particular performance to warrant it on this list
It’s okay, Second half is much better than the first
has sabotage on it
Incredible
Enjoyable, but did the last track *really* need to be 17 minutes?
banger
One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time but also fuck Kanye
he wants the kitten to do WHAT?
This is one where I can appreciate the artistry but not something I’d probably listen to again
if you want to torture your ears for 40 minutes give this a listen. Might be the worst album on this list so far.
enjoyable
Probably more of a 3.5 imo. It has some high high’s and some low low’s
It’s way too long but overall a solid record. Feeling a strong 7 to a light 8.
Yeah lead singer’s voice ain’t doing it for me. Guitar guy is killing it though
GO-YA, SO-DA it’s alright
background music
Absolutely incredible
easy 5, one of my all time favorite albums
I’ve come to the conclusion that I hate this genre
not for me
It’s alright, I’m Going to Spain is the standout for me
fucking awesome
Enjoyable but not as memorable as some of his other stuff imo
It’s fine
3+3=6 but can only give five stars
A nice surprise. Solid listen
great jazz album
Some good stuff here but honestly a little disappointing
meh
Survey says they can, indeed, kick it.
not great Bob
banger
Excellent. 4.5
meh
surprisingly enjoyed this. A little weird but still
Very disappointed in this one
First 3 songs are great, rest of the album is solid but not as strong
wtf this was awesome
I mean it’s fine but I feel like I’ve heard this album 10 times on this list already
Very Hit and miss imo
Elegia and 7 bonus tracks. 4.5 stars
Awesome. 4.5 stars
I think this is one that I need more listens to form a full opinion, but initial thoughts are solid
oof the album
it’s okay but again this is an album I think I’ve heard multiple times on this list already
this album feels like a nice walk on a sunny day
3 Stars and Not Rising
More Than a Feeling may be in the top 5 most overplayed songs ever but this is a dad rock classic. 4.5 stars
Enjoyable. First track is a standout
Great album
Honestly better than I expected for another 60’s non-Beatles rock album
enjoyable. 3.5 stars
bangers
Free Bird
It’s not “bad”, but it’s long, boring and forgettable. Which might be worse
A couple duds but overall pretty great
U2.5 stars
Smooth as butter
I like The Who but there is nothing special about this live album to warrant it being on this list imo
enjoyable
Good overall. 3.5 stars
Background noise. Not sure why it’s on this list. 2.5 stars
Excellent. 4.5 stars
yuck
it’s okay
meh. Forgettable
1 star for the music but 5 stars for the crab rave album cover
Absolutely incredible from start to finish. A classic
solid rap album
Good production
Surprised how much I liked this
Excellent
Fantastic from start to finish.
Pretty much the same song for 25 minutes. 2.5 stars
rocket man did good. 4.5 stars
First two songs were strong but unfortunately don’t think the rest of the album held up
dollar general Radiohead. 2.5 stars
alright I guess but not his best
not for me I fear
This would’ve been a great instrumental album but this guy just had to open his mouth
Interesting. 3.5 stars
Solid but not as good as ok computer imo
It’s okay
Really enjoyed this
ello guvnah
Good but not in the upper echelon of his discography imo. Also obligatory fuck Kanye
So f’ing good
Final Jimi Hendrix album on this list. All 5 stars
Enjoyable but way too damn long
yeah not a fan
Also known as “Lazer Guided Melodies (But the Lazers are pointed directly at your Eyes)”
I enjoyed my time at the shack. 3.5 stars
This is admittedly the first time I’ve listened to this album, and it is quite a behemoth. This one needs to sit with me for a bit. But it’s easily *at least* 4.5 stars because, despite its length, it’s a really tight album that flows together nicely for a great listening experience.
Meh. 2.5 stars
Thank you 1001 Albums Generator site for the killer Christmas gift
DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK
Second half isn’t as strong as the first but still a strong 4.5 stars
Sad!
Classic. 4.5 stars only because it’s a little too long
Great album to start the new year
At least it’s short
The title song is forever tainted by that cringe celebrity video during COVID lockdowns
Great jazz album
honestly was a great workout album
I’ve generally been indifferent to the live albums on this list as even if the music is good I fail to see why I’d want to listen to a concert over the studio versions. But hearing the way Johnny banters and jokes with the audience and how the audience reacts to him really adds something to this. Like I feel like I’m transported to this performance in a way. Plus, it’s Johnny Cash music. Easy 5
Enjoyable. 3.5 stars
solid
banger
Probably won’t listen again but a cool experience
Not quite as good as Nevermind but still 4.5 stars
It’s ok, a bit disappointing considering I really liked his last album on this list
it was okay
I think I need to be in a certain mood to appreciate this and I was not when listening today
Not their best but still great
A nice surprise. This was solid
Repetitive but really dug it
Maps and Y Control carry. 2.5 stars
I really don’t dislike Lorde’s voice but unfortunately Jack Antonoff’s production makes this largely sound like most pop records of the past decade.
Not for me. 2.5 stars
Has its moments
I hate that stupid fking chameleon
why does he look like Timothee Chalamet
friggin awesome
this album is a crime
It’s alright, probably won’t listen to again though
Few hip hop albums get better than this.
Wu Tang and NWA back to back? The generator is cooking rn.
Me like steely dan. 4.5 stars
Generic 90’s rock which I unfortunately am a fan of
Enjoyable if a bit uneven
As Barry B Benson once said “you like jazz?” Yes Barry I do
peak
first exposure to this band outside of feel good inc and am a little disappointed. This felt very hit and miss
Every track is unique yet somehow fits into one cohesive vision. Incredible
yeah this ain’t it
Enjoyable. 3.5 stars
wtf it’s the to be continued meme song
Not as good as his solo stuff imo but still enjoyable. 3.5 stars
meh. 2.5 stars
shout out the jimmy neutron movie fr
oof
Not one of their best but still enjoyable. 3.5 stars
One of the easiest 5’s on this list.
Idk who this is for but it sure as hell ain’t for me
Excellent, 4.5 stars
Hell of a debut. 4.5 stars
Dads will listen to this and go “hell yeah”. They got a point
Definitely a great talent and songwriter but can’t find myself re-listening to this
Awesome stuff
Has its moments
I’m lactose intolerant
makes me want to skateboard to work while drinking a bottle of cranberry juice
smoking has never looked cooler than that scene in Goodfellas with Robert De Niro and Sunshine Of Your Love playing.
has its moments
40k monthly listeners on Spotify for a reason

oy vey
Classic

enjoyable. 3.5 stars
not feeling it. 2.5 stars
enjoyable sonically even if some of the lyrics are cringe. 3.5 stars
Enjoyable but meh live album
this band was in the studio like “this shit is trash. drop it”
blimey what a jamming record man
yeah I was just not feeling this one on a first pass
not as bad as some of the other electronica albums on this list but still boring, repetitive, and not daft punk
honestly even though this type of music isn’t really my thing I found it pretty relaxing
oh mamma Mia
well damn this ruled
this would be more enjoyable if each song was like a third of the length
monke
GTA 4 liberty rock radio song spotted
oh my god PLEASE stop with the repetitive electronica albums that go on for way too long
bro cooked
Solid
decent
zzzz
There’s some interesting ideas but none of it meshes well at any point and couldn’t wait for it to end.
hell yeah, smooth as butter. 4.5 stars
Perfect Day is such a standout
meh album but wtf is this cover
Not really into it but funny title
3rd Radiohead album on this list and think this might be my favorite
Solid, esp the first track
Dumbledore asked calmly
meh not for me
RIP
title song is of course a classic but rest of the album is just ok
incredible from start to finish
Another Iron Maiden banger
This is what comes up when you lookup on YouTube “1 hr relaxing/focus music”
this slapped
solid, if a bit long
Great
smooth
pretty forgettable, nothing stood out to me.
very repetitive
Relaxing
Decent but not as memorable as some of their other stuff. 3.5 stars
this album may have the dogs on the cover but blur did not have that dawg in them when making this
kinky
Not his best but still great
depressing, boring, and not on Spotify so had ads between each song.
so good. RIP
perfect beach album
not great but dug a lot of this. 3.5 stars
yeah not feeling this one
Good choice for a workout
Classic
Very enjoyable
not their best but still solid
An important album that I just don’t really vibe with
Crazy timing of this with Brian Wilson’s death. Great album though
Really enjoyed this
Hi. Live album hater here. This fucking rules.
Enjoyable. 3.5 stars
Disney Villain ahh music
Decent
Classic
Not bad but not their best
Excellent production and concept. 4.5 stars
More solid dad rock
way better than some of the electronica albums this list has had
IIIIII AMMMM IRON MAAAAAN

One of their better albums. 4.5 stars
Damn this kinda ruled

List has been cooking lately. 4.5 stars
It was ok
It was alright

Classic
“This is a Chinese restaurant, but HAVE IT YOUR WAY”
zzz
solid mate
solid
Nothing special imo
It’s ok, second half not as strong
Not their best but still solid
RIP Ozzy
Not horrible or anything but very forgettable
Strong 4.5 stars
Normally don’t dig long albums but this is an exception. Just a high level throughout
nah this ain’t it
title track is amazing but rest of the album doesn’t really do it for me. 2.5 stars
Absolute cinema
not enough stars available
First half very strong. Falls off a bit in the latter half. 3.5 stars
Meh
18k monthly listeners on Spotify for a reason. This is terrible.
It’s ok but the song “Don’t” is hilariously bad.
another banger from stevie
misleading title
“Hate to say i told you so” clears the rest of this
slaps
zzz
nostalgia may be heavily influencing my rating here but I don’t care. RIP Chester.
Damn back to back 5/5
not super memorable but easy listening
Not bad
Chill vibe
Solid
Talent is undeniable but as an album it sounds very samey throughout
Christ this sucks
beep boop beep this shit sucks ass
Not bad but overstays its welcome a bit
this did not hit
Too inconsistent, 2-3 songs are ok and 2-3 are painful.
Pretty enjoyable
wtf is this cover art. Anyway this was alright, didn’t like the vocalist tho
very long and nothing stands out but an enjoyable album to kick back and put on in the background. 3.5 stars
