1001 Albums Summary

Lovely, trumpet centric. Good happier background music

Repetitive, high pitch bells are annoying

Mellow but atmospheric, hit after hit, will come again

Good happy lounge with annoying interludes in between. Some childhood hits though!!

Hate it. 0/10. Every song reminds me of the 2 rem songs I do like in a very repetitive and not at all satisfying manner.

Couldn't get through it. 2 because I loved reading the reviews.

Theatrical, over the top, songs are very long too. However, a couple of them were lovely. Interesting arrangements. Would listen again in moderation.

Half of this is dissonant and annoying. The rest is alright

Meh.. but oh baby is one of my favorites ever. Glad to have been reminded of it here

It's fine. But repetitive. All songs blended into each other. Not my favorite lyrics. Understand the historical significance though

The synth sounds like gta stripper music and i could not get over it

Just okay?

Actually really enjoyed this! Atmospheric synth pop with a very pleasant man voice leading and nice variation in drums and base. Will listen to it again

Worse Brian eno

Actually enjoyed it! Something about listening to Bjørk seemed pretentious to me so I haven't , but it was more or less enjoyable. Punky drums.

Loved it! They ate and left no crumbs. First live album I've maybe ever liked. Will be going back for more

A side was hot garbage. B side pretty good. 2.5

It's not the worst thing I have listened to but not far from it

The last couple of tracks were better and more Eno than the first ones imo

Okay? I guess?

Repetitive. Doesn't feel profound in any way

Absolute classic

Honestly easy listen. Way better that I thought it would be. Empowering lyrics.

Sounded self important

Phil Collins?

Iconic and so badly reminds me of college

Mid

This gave me a headache

Felt vapid? Was excited to listen to Duran Duran because I love Japan but it's not for me

Pretty good!

Couldn't do it

Not into it

Kind of like my favorite era of the Arctic monkeys but slightly harder arrangements

Sounds like a highschool band except soul and fire which sounds like a sophomore college band

It's fine... Kind of even liked it. But the arrangement is so old school I really don't see myself listening to it again.

Could not get past the first track. Can't do it

The beginning is okay, then there's too much sax, then it sounds like a Disney villain

Kind of whatever

I liked this more on the second listen. The flea song is very weird but there are a few great ambiance ones. The vocals are awesome too

Couldn't get through it. Sometimes this list makes me wonder if I even like music

Oddly enjoyed this. Definitely eclectic but kind of late night car music

Kind of iconic. Worth a second listen

Mid

I thouht this was pet shop boys and was pretty surprised by the genre lol. Shocking amount of what sounds like jazz flute. I enjoyed the more relaxed interludes

Stupidly repetitive and simple thirsty music. Couldn't wait for the album to end

Very mediocre. Kind of sad

I don't know if it's because they've had an outsized impact or what but listening to it in 2024 the album sounds cringe and derivative

Bass heavy and quite great

I hated this and now I hate Morrissey. Regretting the college year+ I spent liking the smiths

Great. But the harmonica scared me a couple of times

Loved parts of this with vampiric gypsy guitar. Weird children's tunes not so much

It started really great and then got worse

I loved the first song. There were a few decent in between as well.

Love

It's alrighty. The Spotify shuffle after this was amazing

Honestly a bop

I used to work for a certain infamous car maker with a big ego ceo. Some of this album removed me of corporate enforced event music. Bleh

Meh

Also meh. Doesn't feel genuine. Performative male energy

I really liked this. It's relaxed but not downcast. Fun beats. Like a predecessor to current whisper singing

Pretty good

Meh

I didn't feel a big difference between this and the other Paul Simon album on this list. Maybe more... South African themes? Those are lovely

It was fine I guess

Somehow both bland and anxiety inducing

Meh

It was fine but I didn't love it

Instant save. Energetic, complex, eventually. The gipsy guitar brought it to 5

Yeah well. I enjoy ZZ top in guitar hero explicitly. Feels like a middle aged uncle version of Sabrina carpenter.

I had hight hopes and was disappointed

Absolutely loved this. Made me hate my grandma and fuck the old generation

Hmmm. It goes up to 3 stars for BU reference and my husband is an alum. Otherwise performative males with mediocre instrumentals, odd accents and annoying lyrics

Good mood bops. Listened to this while exploring a new town.

Actually - not bad. I would love to explore like, Morocco listening to this but enjoyed a sleepy coastal town in Greece as well

Didn't mind it

He does sound constipated. But good background music. Very simple

I actually loved this

Great album, almost no notes. Favorites: hero, you ain't the problem. Listened to it twice in a row

Not my favorite. The instrumentals were alright... But I didn't like the singing

I don't like Bowie and so I didn't like this

I like low energy music so I quite enjoyed having this in the background although I must mention I didn't realize when the album ended and random shuffle began since all of it was quite monotonous

Can't do blur

Some of this was good and some absolute cringe. No in between

Great. Take five the song a long time favorite. Something about the soft woodwinds and a gentle drum really makes a good song

Can't do Morrissey

Couldn't do it

Honestly very good

I honestly didn't mind it. Meeting it is "skin deep" and appropriating but it makes for enjoyable background music for a white middle aged woman

Listened to it twice. Honestly great, feels unpretentious and fun. Would slap on guitar hero

Could not manage

Mid

Ewwww

I just hate Morrissey it's not my fault
