1001 Albums Summary

Not bad, but rather forgettable. Nothing interesting is going on here. I'll give ZZ Top the benefit of the doubt, give 'em an excuse, and say it just hasn't aged well and leave it at that...

So much filler. But godamn do I love those hits.

A great reminder how great Dr. Dre is. Also a great reminder how much I love P-Funk. Kinda wish this site gave me one of their albums instead.

Guitarist pedo pete is not only a pedo, but those who can separate the art and the artist are in for a massively overrated, unimpressive and boring album. disclaimer: I'm very biased against pedophiles and didn't give this a fair shot.

It took me a while to get around to checking out Sam Cooke. I know how influential he is and how highly everyone speaks of him and perhaps that's why he hasn't clicked for me? People have taken so much influence from him, that he no longer sounds fresh? I was able to enjoy the live show despite the lacklustre quality due to its historical significance. But beyond being able to hear what a great early '60s show was like, I didn't get much out of this album.

Oh boy, it started ok but quickly became incredibly uninteresting. A catchy hook here and there got me hoping for more but it just kept getting worse. Just unoffensive and dull album that I don't need to (and definitely don't want to) listen to again.

Sorry Kathleen Hanna (and to a lesser extend Dave Grohl) but this album is great. Not sorry to internet nerds that hate Courtney for no good reason though.

Sometimes the hits are hits for a reason. This album is phenomenal. Dare I say almost perfect. The length is a bit of an issue and I do prefer good kid. Curious to see if it continues to age well. Not sure people will remember the random negus spelling bee in the future

Technically impressive. But honestly, I don’t get it. Despite multiple listens I couldn’t understand the lyrics. I love punk, hardcore, and most fast and loud music (from musicians that aren’t anywhere near as technically gifted as Napalm Death), but I couldn’t get into this album regardless how hard I tried. I feel like everything just kind of jumbled together to my ears. Every song sounded like the same mush. Maybe I should give myself 2 stars instead of the album… I’m glad I had an excuse to check this out but frankly I don’t think I want to revisit anytime soon.

Im pretty sure 75% of these songs were written by ai. Don’t get me wrong. I love a sweet riff and guitar solo. I like the high pitched yell of Brian Johnson. Im not against him being repetitive and his immature innuendo humour is a guilty please of mine. But holyyyyy do these songs need to be 5+ minutes? And do we really need that formula repeated throughout the whole album? It turns one brain to mush before they can actually enjoy the strong moments (which are incredible). I normally hate « greatest hits » albums but AC/DC might be the perfect band to skip their discog and just go for the hits.

I thought this was going to be my first listen. However, I soon realized I have actually listened to this album a ton... My mom used to have this CD and play it in the car when I was very young. It was pretty cool to teleport back to 20+ years ago Once that wore off, I found this incredibly boring... sorry mom :(

So generic and uninteresting I'm unable to give this a detailed review.

"brevity is the soul of wit" - B̶i̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶S̶ Ramones every album should contain 14 songs and a sub-30 minute length

The kind of music you'd hear at a shitty american restaurant that claims to serve authentic Italian food... much like the food at said restaurants, this album is incredibly bland. frankie gets an extra star for being talented and I suppose unoffensive and bad is better than offensive and bad

Rip off artist Elvis has ironically been ripped off to the point where his music is no longer interesting. Especially 70 years later...

Nothing to say that hasn’t been said 100x before. I don’t like to give 5 stars unless an album is literally perfect. That’s the case here

unfortunately I'm not a suburban dad at a poolside barbeque and therefore don't like this album.

I first read Bryan Adams and was horrified... Unfortunately, Ryan Adams is somehow worse

Common releasing a mid 00s album produced by J Dilla and Kanye was never gonna be mid

Weed is tight… got it. Thanks…

People who like greta van fleet should probably check out this band....

it might've been cool in 1990... but it certainly isn't cool in 2024. I thought trash was supposed to be fast. While I guess it's technically true. Every song is so repetitive that they feel like they barely move. By the time the guitar solos come around, I'm numb. 2 stars because I'm sure Mustaine's current music sucks more now that he's a weirdo christian and right-wing nutjob.

I thought I hated KoL... turns out I only hate what they became. Baffling to think they abandoned the good qualities of this album and embraced the bad qualities.

Is this some kind of pre-Spinal Tap joke album? It's a bunch of self-indulgent and embarrassing nonsense...

While listening to this album, I kept thinking about how well Alice Cooper would do on The Muppet show. A quick google showed me that Jim Henson realized that 50 years ago.

I wish I could say this was so so. Instead, I got one of the most agonizing albums I've ever heard. I suppose art is supposed to make one feel things. I felt pure rage and hatred towards the hack known as Peter Gabriel. Fuck him and his "music"

Literally perfect - but y’all knew that already

What's up with the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he talks like an ordinary guy? Either way, he's corny and Neil Peart can only do so much

Most artists found disco and embarrassed themselves. The Bee Gees were ahead of the curve and managed to embarrass themselves before finding disco.

Those dorky Portland hipsters must've lost their minds over this.

I'm sure the lead singer got shoved in countless high school lockers. Picturing that was the only enjoyable part of my listen.

If you were a tumblr addict who wore lensless glasses, V-necks and scarfs in the summer of 2013, I cannot recommend this enough.

he's gotta be putting on that voice right? Buddy sounds like a cartoon character that just had an anvil fall on their head. Every time I would start to get into it, his voice would take me out.

Not to be confused with Henri's dream (where a chicken asks you to stop eating meat)

ACAB

Most of the alleged “perfect” albums are overrated…. This one ain’t.

When I was in high school I went through a punk phase. That’s long over. I guess I’m post-punk now

The fact that no one has been able to top this in almost 50 years is proof of devolution.

This sounds like rock and/or roll (also shit)

Jazz so smooth you can call it flat....

oh yes politics... mhmm i know what's going on

oh no.... they do fucking suck

not garbage

The first time I've listened to ABBA front to back. I thought I liked 'em but after the 33-minute listen, I can safely say that ABBA is best in small doses.

Hell yeah I love the rain

omg will this nerd shut up already

Groovy

I mean
