1001 Albums Summary

Will probably throw this into the night time sleep rotation

“You shouldn’t let poets lie to you”

Funky

Pretty good, as far as I can tell

A hell of a singer

“Harris, what’s your favorite U2 record?” “Pinkerton by Weezer” I’m not U2 fan, but I guess this is alright. Turns out I’ve heard a good chunk of these songs before, which shouldn’t be too surprising given how big this album was. After the first listen, “In God’s Country” is probably the standout.

I’m old, but I don’t think I’m “I appreciate jazz” years old yet. Three stars just because I don’t know how what to make of it one way or the other.

It’s really gotten under my skin in a good way

I like how menacing the first half of this thing is. The rest is considerably more upbeat. One Very Important seems especially prescient today. All in all, this seems like itd be good for studying and/or committing petty crimes -The whole breadth of the human experience.

A mixed bag. Some of it is fun, some of it sounds like someone is trying to sell me a car. Also, including comps and greatest hits collections in album lists is kinda lame.

Ska in denial

Going from from Bohemian Rhapsody to an old standard like God Save the Queen is among the biggest flexes in rock and roll history

Yeah, alright

Among the best of its kind

Duh

Chill. The cowboy equivalent of driving around at night while it’s raining.

The albums that follow set a very high bar, but still a strong debut. Stephen Malkmus is among the most consistent songwriters in indie rock.

I think I like the instrumental parts more than anything here with lyrics

I liked it much more than the Dave Brubeck album

Kinda fun I guess

Wall to wall bops

Sure

Not bad. I think the melodies don’t really live up to the rest of the songwriting

I hope the have Tony Hawk’s Underground in Italy

Good! I like that it splits the funkier stuff on the first half and the slower stuff on the second.

Chill

These albums sound so weird in stereo

I am going to have my chance

I like some of the more industrial sounding effects, but it doesn’t do much for me otherwise

Good jangly pop songs. Bonus points for inspiring this song: https://youtu.be/vlryei9U3sg?si=GwlFz9Dg-j6EX1se

I don’t think I’ve listened to this since high school. I mostly remembered the beeps and boops, but there are some good rock songs here as well.

A few good grooves, but mostly kinda middling otherwise

Fun

Totally listenable, but not all that interesting

Jazz

I like the melancholic vibe

Would fall asleep to again

Rock’s obviously come a long way, but this is still fun.

One of their best

Feels like it’d be a good fall/winter album

Hell yeah
