10/10. Forget about what other people are saying about this album. THIS is truly a must-listen album. There are far too many unremarkable albums in this 1001 album project. This is not one of them. This is incredible, and revolutionary.
6.5/10. Generic electronic album. There isn't much to say here. The instrumentation is alright, and I have a bit of a bias when it comes to this type of music in some circumstances. :)
100/10. What a splendid way to kick off this December!!! I'm a huge fan of Metallica. They are my third-favourite band after TOOL, and Dream Theater. They got me into metal music!!! :) I'm on day 184 in this album generator. Metallica appears four times in this generator. I've been anxiously waiting for a Metallica album to appear in this generator. Today, it FINALLY happened!!! Who needs folksy 1960's duds (not all folksy 1960's albums are duds, FYI) when you have METALLICA??? :) Listening to this album is an exhilarating experience. Symphony can add some gorgeous embellishments to the already amazing nature of Metallica's music. This is also a live album. I love the feeling of being at a concert!!! :) This album was released eight years before I was born, so I wasn't able to be at the actual concert, which is a shame. Whatever, I get to comfortably enjoy it now!!!!! :) I'd also like to talk about S&M2. The orchestra for the album was directed by Edwin Outwater, who used to be the conductor at my local symphony orchestra, who I saw perform live on a weekly basis. I may have even met him at some point. I remember being so proud of him after hearing his name called out at the end of the song "The Day That Never Comes". :) Anyway, LONG LIVE METALLICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

It was a somewhat unsettling listen, lyric-wise. It had an interesting energy to it. 6/10.
7/10. It had a really nice soulful vibe to it. Four long songs. I like long songs. :)
9/10. Nice rock music. Great vocals. I really enjoyed its artistry. :)
10/10.
6/10. Somewhat underwhelming, and not as interesting as I thought that it would be. I prefer "Harvest". :)
8/10. I love the unique vocals, and strong messages. It was a delightful and unique experience to listen to this album. However, the album could have been slightly shorter. :)
8/10. It was a really pleasant listen. Somehow, the two hours of length didn't seem too excessive. There was a nice variety. I like electronic music. :)
9/10.
6/10.
10/10. It's a masterpiece. :)
9/10.

7/10. Really innovative, and a great listen, but it gets a little bit boring over time. :)
8/10. The Beatles are great!!! :)
8/10. It had some really nice tracks, but also some boring fillers. :)
It is a nice, and standard 1960's album. 7/10.
8/10.
6/10. It was pleasant, but not too groundbreaking or intriguing. :)
7/10. Pleasant experience. This style of music is really great. Not as vibrant as Fela Kuti's music, but it's great!!! :)
9/10. Really great 1970's rock music. :)
8/10. I liked it more than Elephant, and it had quite a few fun tracks on it. :)
5/10. It had some nice beats, but I'm simply not much of a fan of rap music in general. At least it's not trap.
7/10. Nice 1980's vibes. :)
3/10. Far too whiny for my taste. Also, I'm not really a fan of rap music.
6/10. It was a fun listen, but it wasn't too remarkable, in my opinion. :)
6/10. Pleasant music with some nice beats to it.
7/10. Pleasant folk album. :)
8/10. Nice blues.
It's a 7/10 for me, but I have to give it five stars. This pushes metal music to the extreme. You need to hear it to believe it. This is very much an album that everybody should experience at least once. Sheer brutality and madness. I love it.
8/10. The Cure have a great style. :)
9/10. One of my favourite jazz records. :)
6/10. Pleasant, but not the best thing ever.
10 out of freaking 10. I repeat, 10 out of freaking 10. Personally, I am not a fan of rap music. However, Rage Against the Machine is a big fat exception for me. They combine dope metal, and sick rapping. The songs in this album are memorable, well-written, and still relevant over thirty years after its release. Let's not forget about the fact that Maynard James Keenan has been featured on its track Know Your Enemy. He is my absolute FAVOURITE singer, and sadly, this album appears to be the only one in this 1001 album thing in which he is featured. Anyway, this album is a 10/10. It certainly is a must-listen album. :)
7/10. It is a solid album with a lot of catchy hits. :)
6/10. It is an indie album. Unfortunately, some of the tracks stood out as particularly...bad. Sorry.
5/10. It had some nice songs on it, but it felt a little bit too long.
7/10. It has some nice songs on it. Although, it didn't feel too groundbreaking. :)
7/10. Nice soul music. :)
7/10. Great reggae album. It was relaxing, and an overall great listen. :)
8/10. Bob Dylan's voice sounded really interesting on this album. In general, I like his style. This album had a lot of great tracks. The really long track at the end of the album was an interesting inclusion. :)
8/10. I'm ashamed by how much I enjoyed this album.
6/10. Pleasant, but somewhat boring.
5/10. I found the album to be fairly disappointing. This is mainly because I had really high expectations. I am a fan of Pink Floyd, and prog is my favourite genre. In my opinion, Pink Floyd is the single best band to ever grace this Earth (not to be confused with my favourite band; that one is TOOL). Because of the sheer spectacular musicianship that takes place in Pink's Floyd music, as well as Syd Barrett's status as one of Pink Floyd's founders, I expected this album to be a masterpiece. However, it was a letdown. In fact, it felt below average in comparison to most of the albums in the 1001 album project which I've reviewed so far, let alone one that came from a founder of the single greatest band to ever exist on the face of the Earth. The tracks seemed to be boring, and they seemed to fall flat. The heap of outtakes that capped this album made the experience a lot less pleasant. While I would give this a 3/5 if it were by some average ol' hippie Joe doin' a solo album, I will give this a 1/5 instead, given the circumstance that this album is by a Pink Floyd founder.
7/10. It isn't anything particularly remarkable, nor does it really belong on a list of 1001 must-listen albums, but I like its style. :)
10/10. David Bowie was a remarkable musician. I find it incredible that he was able to maintain such a good style of music late in his career. Unless I am mistaken, David Bowie has been included in the 1001 album list a whopping nine times, and he definitely deserves it.
7/10. It's a pleasant listen, but not too remarkable. :)
7/10. It's another 1970's rock album. :)
10/10. :) This is such a fun disco album! The music is funky and groovy. The vocals are great. The melodies are great. There is a lot of good bass. There are a lot of good strings. :) I totally would recommend this album. It definitely belongs on the list of 1001 must-listen albums. :)
10/10. Forget about what other people are saying about this album. THIS is truly a must-listen album. There are far too many unremarkable albums in this 1001 album project. This is not one of them. This is incredible, and revolutionary.
10/10. :) This is the third 10/10 that I have been given!!! :) Personally, I love Cream. They are a fantastic band. The songs SWLABR, Strange Brew, World of Pain, Tales of Brave Ulysses, and Outside Woman Blues are all really memorable masterpieces. Among the sea of 1960's psychedelic rock albums in this 1001 album project, this one is absolutely among the superior ones. I wish that there were more Cream albums in the project. I really don't think that The Byrds need to be featured a whopping five times in the project. They're really not as good as Cream.
8/10. This is a really interesting album in comparison to other punk albums. I felt some retro vibes. The vocals were interesting. In general, I enjoy punk music with female vocals over punk music with male vocals. :)
8.5/10. This is a fun album. The Weight is a great song! :)
9/10. Great vocals, great music, and great songs. It has a really nice, and enchanting vibe to it. :)
7/10. It gave me Michael Jackson vibes. It had a nice, mellow, and groovy vibe, but it was a bit too underwhelming for me personally. :)
10/10. I am a sucker for this kind of hard rock music. It featured great songs after great songs. I felt a lot of really good vibrations while listening to it. I should check out more of ZZ Top's work. This was sick! :)
5/10. It is listenable, but far too forgettable. I will probably forget everything about this album within one week.
10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. 10/10. Rust in Peace is one of my favourite albums of all time. In my opinion, it is THE best metal album of all time. I'm a fan of Megadeth, and I've already listened to this album several times. There is spectacular guitar work, and spectacular drumming throughout this album. It starts with Holy Wars...The Punishment Due, which is arguably one of the best first tracks for any album. It was my second-favourite song for some time. Then comes Hangar 18. Another great song. Then comes Take No Prisoners. Then comes Five Magics, and so on. Tornado of Souls is one of the most impressive songs, in my opinion. The album ends with Rust in Peace...Polaris. What a great track to finish this masterpiece of an album. 40 minutes and 48 seconds of metal bliss. If you've never listened to this album, do yourself a favour, and listen to it.
8/10. I'm going to be honest here: Prior to listening to this album, I surfed through its negative reviews. I was expecting myself to really hate it. I honestly really enjoyed listening to this album. Perhaps I would have liked it less if I had higher expectations. There was a lot of nice variety in here. It was cool. :)
10/10. It's Led freaking Zeppelin. :) This album is bliss from the start to the finish, and the tetralogy of Led Zeppelin's first four works is arguably the most important out of any other tetralogy. :)
3/10. This album really bored me. It felt never-ending. I think that it's cool that this album revived some of Woody Guthrie's old works, but it doesn't make the album any more pleasant to listen to. Just because it's an important record doesn't mean that it's a must-listen.
7/10. It features some really fun, and pleasant 1960's rock songs. :)
8.5/10. It was a pleasure to listen to this. Female-fronted punk music is great, and I also enjoyed its retro vibes. Its first track is amazing!!! :)
6/10. It sounds like a generic indie album.
8/10. It's a really innovative jazz album. Totally excellent. :)
7.5/10. Smooth music. It's really revolutionary, but it isn't my favourite album. :)
9/10. I love fun and ethnic albums. :)
4.5/10. Honestly, I wasn't as fond of the album as everybody else seems to be. Something about it just doesn't click for me.
6/10. It features a lot of really nice jazz songs. However, I wish that it wasn't over three bloody hours long.
9/10. Trip hop is a really cool music genre. This is an innovative album. :)
7.5/10. Really nice and pleasant soft jazz. :)
9.5/10. The vocals and instrumentation are incredible. It's heavy, and great!!! :)
6/10. It's not as bad as other reviewers appear to be calling this album, but it still isn't a masterpiece by any means. It isn't anything special, but it was pleasant, and it certainly has its audience.
7/10. It's repetitive, but the mixing is really cool. :)
6/10. It's an important record, but it isn't really my favourite one. Although, it does have some great tunes!!! :)
9.5/10. Beautifully-arranged music, long songs, amazing instrumentation, and so on. I dig it, and I really wish that there were more Mike Oldfield albums in this 1001 album project. :)
8/10. Bob Dylan is a master of folk music. Despite the simplicity of this album, it is really enjoyable. :)
6/10. The first half of the album featured some really nice rap. However, I feel like the album got a bit dull towards the end. Overall, it's a nice album. :)
6.5/10. It is decent indie rock album. I prefer the Pixies' work over this solo album. :)
9/10. While Kanye West is a terrible person, I must admit that this album is a masterpiece. This is coming from a non-rap fan. I would have given this album five stars if it weren't a Kanye West album.
10/10. This album is a classic with many stunning masterpieces. Do I dare say that I like this album more than any of the Beatles' albums? Yes, I do. :) Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five is one of my absolute favourite songs ever. It makes me really happy. :)
8/10. It was very interesting, and not what I expected in a hip hop album at all. The first half was really interesting, and cool, while the album wore off as it progressed. :)
10/10. W O W!!!!! I really didn't expect this album to be THIS good!!!!! :) Hip hop music isn't my cup of tea. However, something about this album in particular just hit me in all the right spots, and scratched all of the right itches in my brain. It's nothing short of absolutely enjoyable. The instrumentation is dope, and so were the vocals. The album did not get dull over time. While I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Rage Against the Machine's self-titled album, it's pretty freaking close to being as enjoyable as that album. I certainly plan on re-listening to this album in the near future. :)
6/10. It features some really nice, and smooth music, but I don't really vibe with it that much. :)
8/10. It's a really sick punk album!!! :) It didn't get dull over time, which is unfortunately something that I typically get from punk albums.
8/10. Either I'm starting to get more into rap, or I'm simply getting better rap albums in this project. This is a really sick, and dope album!!! :) Perhaps I'm simply biased, since Ice-T has a photo of him with Lemmy Kilmister as one of his photos on Spotify.
4/10. Nothing particularly memorable.
9/10. I love nerdy new wave with a whole lotta bass! :)
7/10. In my opinion, the music is sick, but the album isn't too memorable. :)
8/10. It's dope, and it's dark.
8.5/10. It features a nice blend of funk and rock. I like its sound. :)
8.5/10. :) The music is great, but the vocals aren't my cup of tea. :)
9.5/10. Early hip hop is so fun!!!!! The beats and vocals were both great. I would love to join the crew in the album cover. :)
10/10. What an utter masterpiece. Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands of all time. A lot of my favourite Led Zeppelin songs are on this absolute STUNNER of an album!!! :)
10/10. This is one of my absolute freaking favourite albums in this 1001 album project!!! I fell in love with it when I first listened to it!!! It is possibly my favourite pop album of all time!!!!! :)
7/10. This is the album that I was assigned on my birthday. It's a decent folk album. It's pleasant, but a tad boring. :)
8/10. :) I love new wave! I've heard more remarkable new wave albums, but this is still a solid, and enjoyable album!!! :)
8/10. :) It features some nice melodies, and some great songs. :)
7.5/10. :) The vocals on this album are great. I loved hearing the excited audience in the background. :)
8/10. While listening to the album, I kept on thinking to myself: "What the hell am I listening to?". I loved it! It is original. It's unique. It's dope! :) Because of the originality, I'm giving this 5 stars instead of 4 stars. :)
8/10. :) It's a brilliant record. Although, it did get somewhat dull over time. :)
5/10. For some reason, I just don't get The Clash. I am aware that they are an extremely important, talented, and revolutionary band. However, there is something about them that I simply don't get. Sorry.
7/10. :) It's a decent and funky ska album. Ska is fun. :)
6.5/10. First of all, that album cover is probably the most horrible album cover that I have ever seen. I have no idea what the inspiration behind putting a photo of yourself eating a lobster on a punk album called "Hypnotised" was. Horrid album cover aside, the album is a decent punk album. :)
9.5/10. This is a revolutionary album that pioneered hard rock and metal music. Rainbow is one of my absolute favourite bands, so it's great to see some pre-Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore work in this 1001 album project. Although, I am disappointed by the fact that there aren't any Rainbow albums in the project. :)
6.5/10. In my opinion, it isn't too remarkable of a listen. I prefer #1 Record. I liked the cover of Femme Fatale. :)
6/10. Quality is objective. Taste is subjectively. Objectively, this is one of the greatest and most innovative rap albums of all time. However, subjectively, it just doesn't do much for me. Sorry. :)
2.5/10. It just went on and on and on. It really bored me. It's really not my vibe at all. My favourite part of the experience was when I got a Bon Jovi advertisement on Spotify. Sorry.
100/10. Where do I begin? It's The Dark Side of the freaking Moon. It is one of the best albums of all time. Every single second of this album is pure perfection. I believe that anybody who says that this is a bad album is an edgy try-hard. If music were like clay and stones, Pink Floyd would be top-tier sculptors who sculpt royalty. Pink Floyd is the best freaking band to ever touch this Earth.
7.5/10. I don't know why, but this album may just be the album that matched my expectations the best. I literally got chills because this album sounds EXACTLY like what I thought it would sound, from the vocals, to the instrumentation. Expectations aside, this is a solid album. The music is beautiful. :)
8.5/10. The album did feel a little bit overdone, but I really enjoyed it. :)
4.5/10. The instrumentation in a lot of the tracks is really great. However, good Lord, those vocals are giving me a bloody headache. They sound whiny, and are making it extremely difficult to enjoy the album. I hear a lot of rock influences. I think that it would have been great if they would have performed their vocals in a different manner. Perhaps actual metal screaming, rather than whiny shouting would have lifted this album up to a 9/10. Perhaps if I listen to the Beastie Boys more, I will acquire a taste for the vocals, and begin loving this album. For example, Dave Mustaine's vocals are an acquired taste which I have acquired, and I LOVE Megadeth. I would like to note that No Sleep Till Brooklyn is a standout track for me, personally. :)
8/10. Really sick. Really influential. I love its energy!!! :)
7/10. It is chaotic, but in a good way. I am astounded by its short length. I listen to Dream Theater, so I've heard many songs that are longer than this album. :)
6.5/10. It has a lot of great tunes on it, but it wasn't that intriguing for me, personally. :)
7.5/10. It was performed really well. However, the album feels far too long.
9.5/10. It's bloody Anthrax. They are among the big four thrash metal bands!!! The album is dope, and revolutionary. It features a plethora of amazing riffs!!! :)
8/10. It's another pleasant album. It's softer in some places, and heavier in others. It's not my favourite album of all time, but it's a nice album. :)
7.5/10. I don't mind live albums. The Who is a legendary band! :)
6.5/10. :) The music is intriguing. However, it somewhat went through one ear, and out the other.
9.5/10. I have no idea what just happened, but I loved every minute of it!!! :)
7/10. The first half of the album is great, but the album wears off over time. :)
8.5/10. Really original. I like the dynamics in this album. It's really unlike other albums in its style. :)
9/10. Oh, this one is definitely nice! Smooth and ethnic jazz! :)
7.5/10. It's not the greatest electronica album of all time. However, it still has its gems, namely "People Hold on" and "Smoke Dis One". :)
6.5/10. Oh, nice! This album generated only a couple of hours after I listened to it. :) Elvis Costello's music isn't my cup of tea. It gives me R.E.M. vibes, but with some added blandness, and less memorability.
7.5/10. Hip hop is not my cup of tea. This album is over two hours long. Yet, somehow, I did not grow tired of this album while listening to it. It managed to stay fresh throughout its two-hour time-span. I need to give it credit for that. However, I will give it four stars instead of five stars, since I didn't enjoy it the same way I enjoyed the albums that I gave 5 stars. :)
6/10. It sounds like a generic punk album to me. :)
8.5/10. This is so weird and unsettling. I love it!!! :)
6/10. Too underwhelming for my taste. :)
8.5/10. Haunting and melancholic. Really enjoyable. :)
6/10. I love 1970's hard rock. However, this one didn't really get to me. It didn't match my vibe very well. :)
3.5/10. While I understand that this album is really important, and has its fair share of devoted fans, it really isn't for me. The music gave me a massive headache, and I constantly waited for the album to end. It was an incredibly unpleasant experience for me, personally.
8/10. Dope hard rock album!!! :)
9/10. Great vibes. It's one of the most important live albums of all time. :) Peter Frampton got inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few days ago, and I watched the ceremony. I think that his induction was incredible!!! :)
8/10. One of the most perplexing albums in the 1001 album list. It's confusing, but in a good way. It has nice ethnic elements. I understand why it may not be everybody's cup of tea. :)
10/10. I'm sorry, but who gave this album the authority to slap THIS hard? This is a banger!!! I was in a terrible mood, and for some reason, listening to this album made me feel a lot better. The delivery of the raps was really exciting. I love the incorporation of hard rock in several tracks (namely Walk This Way and Raising Hell). This is a really memorable album. I honestly expected to dislike it, but I was wrong. This album is absolutely brilliant!!! :) I wish that modern-day rap music sounded more like this instead of the mumble-filled jargon with the most uninspired lyrics and instrumentation possible.
8/10. There are various interesting styles in this album. It's a fun listen!!! :)
9/10. In my opinion, 1970's hard rock is hard to get wrong. This isn't the most innovative album of all time, but it is still thoroughly enjoyable!!! :)
7.5/10. It's a very pleasant album with many great melodies. :)
8/10. I got Raising Hell in the database four days ago. Neither of the albums disappointed. Alternating words is a really interesting concept. :)
5.5/10. It's alright. It's not impressive. It's generic Britpop. Oasis did it better. I have a problem with the fact that this album is considered a must-listen. I'm sorry, but has this album ever changed anybody's life? Has anybody ever recalled this album on their death bed? I doubt it. Also, what the hell is up with the band members' hairstyles? They look really weird.
7/10. It's a really peaceful and pleasant album. Very minimal, but not in a bad way. The vocals are also really peaceful and pleasant. :)
10/10. Nah, screw that rating system. It will receive a 11/10 instead. Actually, hell, no. That doesn't do it any bloody justice. 100/10. The purpose of the 1001 album project should be to find life-changing music that you will reflect upon at one point in life. So far, I have listened to around three quarters of the albums in the project (including those which I haven't yet received in this website's database), and this album is hands-down one of my favourite albums, and one of the albums that has had the biggest impacts on me. I vividly remember the first time I listened to this album. On the day I listened to this album, I previously listened to three other albums: "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" by Small Faces, "Go Girl Crazy!" by The Dictators, and "Low" by David Bowie. Upon listening to "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake" and "Go Girl Crazy!", I wasn't very impressed. Then, I listened to "Low" by David Bowie. While listening to it, I gave myself a manicure. I enjoyed it very much (it's David bloody Bowie, why wouldn't I enjoy it?). Then, after listening to that, feeling amused both by the experience, and by my fresh, new manicure, I went back to the list of 1001 albums to select one to listen to next. "Hmm...how about Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode? That one looks interesting. I've been meaning to check out some of Depeche Mode's music, and I only know their song "Personal Jesus". Let's give it a try!". I didn't have many high expectations. I am well aware of the sheer amount of mediocre 1980's pop albums in the 1001 album project. Also, I listened to this album for the first time only a few days after listening to the album "Songs From the Big Chair" by Tears for Fears for the first time. Upon listening to that album, I was absolutely blown away, and I declared it my new favourite pop album. Along with that, I am biased towards hard rock and metal music, so I don't always judge non-heavy albums in a fair manner. Anyway, I hit the play button on this album. The first track of the album, "Never Let Me Down Again", began playing. *boop boop beep, boop beep, beep, beep, beep boop beep boop beep* *queue the other instruments* "Oh...oh my...oh my goodness...what am I listening to?" David Gahan didn't even utter a single word yet, and I was already immersed in the experience. I may have already forgotten about my fresh, new manicure. THIS is the moment. I proceeded to attentively listen to the rest of the first track. "Wow, that was incredible!!!" Queue "The Things You Said". Much like the first track, I absolutely enjoyed this track as well. I was completely immersed in the listening experience of this stunning album. Queue "Strangelove". At this point, I'm already too far gone. I've only ever heard three Depeche Mode songs at this point, and I was already a huge fan of theirs. Either while listening to "Strangelove", or this album's proceeding track, "Sacred", I went onto my online forum (I run an online forum), and somewhat freaked out. I wrote, and I quote, "I can feel my heartbeat increasing. I want to cry. My ears are blessed. My body is alive. My toes are happy.", followed by the Spotify link to this album. I wanted to encourage my peers to listen to this album with me. Queue "Little 15". This song featured a very interesting vibe, but like the rest of the songs so far, I was completely immersed in the experience. I begged for as much of this album as possible. Queue "Behind the Wheel". Everything sounded so on-point. The album went on. When it ended, I was left shocked, and with a raging desire to listen to everything else that Depeche Mode has to offer. My initial favourite track from this album was "Nothing", but now, it's "Never Let Me Down Again". I wrote a note to myself to remind myself to listen to more Depeche Mode. Upon looking through the list of 1001 albums yet again, I found out that "Violator" is also an album in the project, so I listened to it the proceeding day. Much like "Music for the Masses", I absolutely loved it. The proceeding day, I began a serious Depeche Mode discography binge. I may have listened to them for around six hours on that day. I began listening to at least one Depeche Mode album every day, so that I can get through their entire discography. Upon listening to their entire discography, "Music for the Masses" remains as my favourite Depeche Mode album. One month later, and I had nearly 1,000 Depeche Mode scrobbles on last.fm, and today, they are the second-most-scrobbled artist in my profile (after TOOL). Prior to me getting into Depeche Mode, I've never been THIS into an artist upon listening to them for the first time (not counting the times I listened to "Personal Jesus" a few years prior). At this point, it's needless to say that this album changed my life, and my perception of the art of music. In fact, the only other album in the 1001 project that may have had a larger impact on me is the album "Master of Puppets" by Metallica. Thanks to the list of 1,001 albums, I began listening to Depeche Mode. Ever since the day I listened to this album for the first time, I have not gone a single day without listening to Depeche Mode, and I plan on continuing my daily ritual of immersing myself into the world and work of Depeche Mode. In fact, I'm listening to Depeche Mode as I'm writing this review for this splendid masterpiece of an album. I would like to give a massive thanks to the compilers of the 1001 albums for bringing this album, and this band into my life. TL;DR, I adore this album, and I adore this band.
9/10. At first, it seemed to be a mere decent Britpop album. However, as it progressed, it began getting better. The usage of what appears to be sampled quotes at the beginning of some songs, as well as the lyrics regarding numerous serious topics really bring a very interesting vibe to the album as a whole. I don't usually like the vocals from a Britpop album, but the vocals here are incredible. Speaking of vocals, I find the fact that the vocalist who sang in this song disappeared to give this album another meaning. I am also fond of the general instrumentation in this album. Overall, it's a really great listen, and all of its layers really intrigue me!!! :)
5.5/10. It's a decent electronica album. However, its songs are far too long. It's not exactly remarkable, and I've been caught off-guard while listening to it.
10/10. Ah, yet another epic classic. Albums like these tend to be fairly hit-or-miss albums, and this one is a hit. I love the melodies that accompany the songs. The vocals are great. Also, I am quite fond of the structure of the album. It stays consistently good throughout the album, and doesn't fall flat. This is the kind of music that I simply crave every once in a while, and really need to listen to when I do. Oh, and who can forget that the song "Heart of Glass" is on this album? I bloody love that song. I listened to it 46 times in a single day a few months. Everything about that song just feels so perfect!!! It's SO exciting when that song comes up (not this time around; my Mama interrupted me a few seconds after the song began playing). :) Aside from "Heart of Glass", there are other straight-up bops on the album like "Sunday Girl", "Hanging on the Telephone", and "Picture This". Ah, this album is so nice! :)
6.5/10. Generic electronic album. There isn't much to say here. The instrumentation is alright, and I have a bit of a bias when it comes to this type of music in some circumstances. :)
8.5/10. Taylor Swift is dominating today's music scene, and for a very good reason. She is talented, and her music is great. This album has a very sweet vibe. While this album is relatively new, this album will most likely still be relevant in several decades. :)
6.5/10. The experience while listening to this album's first few tracks is nice. However, it does not linger, since it's painfully forgettable. Around halfway through, I practically forgot that I was even listening to music in the first place.
8/10. Right off the bat, the album starts with "Seven Nation Army", which is arguably one of the best album openers that one can pick. It really sets the mood for the rest of the album, which also rocks, and features various dope tracks. Although, there are a couple of dull ones here and there. I find the history behind The White Stripes really intriguing.
7.5/10. There is a really dreamy vibe to the guitars. The vocals are tender, but a little bit irritating at times. The drums are cool. I enjoy the overall dissonance. However, I wish that there was more deviation between songs. :)
7/10. I feel like it's heavier than a lot of other Britpop albums, which I really like. However, I feel like it's not as memorable. However, it's still a great listen!!! :)
10/10. Right off the bat, if it's a Led Zeppelin album, it automatically warrants five stars. I bloody love (LOVE) Led Zeppelin!!! This is one of the best debut albums of all time! This album features the song "Dazed and Confused", which is among the very few pre-Sabbath metal songs. As a cover, it does a LOT of justice!!! Robert Plant's vocals are incredible on the album, and so are all of the dynamics. Led Zeppelin reigned in the 1970's and the late 1960's, and this album makes it very clear as to why that happened. :)
8/10. I love 1980's synth pop. In general, this album is a great listen. It's not Depeche Mode or Tears for Fears, but it's still really cool! It has several interesting tracks on it. However, it's too long for its style, in my opinion. :)
6/10. I apologize in advance for pissing off the hip-hop-head community, but this album really isn't my thing. The concept is really cool, and so were its lyrics, but its instrumentation really bored me. It was also fairly long.
10/10. STUNNING classic!!! Many amazing songs are on this album!!! It starts with "Baba O'Riley", which is probably one of my favourite songs!!! :)
9.5/10. Queens are royalty, and so is this album!!! :) It progresses in a stunning manner. The instrumental arrangements are fantastic. The vocals are wonderful. It's an amazing album!!! :)
10/10. Yippee!!! Another metal album!!! :) No, that wasn't sarcasm. I'm a huge fan of metal music. I'm also a fan of Megadeth. Megadeth are total metal titans!!! They are among the big four thrash metal bands!!! :) There is crazy guitar work and drumming on this album. It's wickedly great!!! :) This album isn't as good as Rust in Peace, but it's still incredibly fantastic!!! :) The most disappointing thing about this album is its length; it's too short!!! The runtime of the non-deluxe version of this album is under 40 minutes. Albums this great should be much longer!!! :)
8.5/10. Great psychedelic vibes. The full version of this album's title track is epic! :)
8/10. One time, my Mama walked in on me listening to the album "Blues by Basie", and she responded with "Is that jazz? I'm proud of you". I felt so awkward, and so confused. What is there to be proud of? It's just jazz. That encounter still confuses me. Anyway, this album is pretty cool. A lot of grand music going on. Basie's cool! :)
9/10. At first, I was like "Seriously? Another pop album?". However, after listening to it, I must say that my expectations have been exceeded, and I'm thoroughly impressed. The vocals are powerful. The production is great. The melodies are catchy, but not uninspired. Great album!!! :)
7.5/10. It does feel a little bit cheap, but I really like its vibe. This album gives me cool club vibes, and I feel like grooving to it. I don't care about its negative reception!!! :)
8/10. I've had a very good streak with great albums, and this album continues that streak!!! Billy Joel knows how to make great soft rock music. This is such a pleasant album!!! :)
10/10. This is the ninth day in a row in which I got either a four-star album or a five-star album. What a legendary album from the hard rock titans Deep Purple themselves!!! While Rainbow may not make an appearance in the 1001 album list, I suppose that Deep Purple's inclusion makes up for it!!! :) Anyway, I'm prepared to get a shite album tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Since I was assigned the incredible album "Deep Purple in Rock" yesterday during a nine-day streak of four-star and five-star albums, I expected to be assigned a shite album today. Luckily, that didn't happen. Singer-songwriter folk music is very hit-or-miss for me. For some reason, I don't really vibe with Leonard Cohen the same way that I enjoy Bob Dylan. I first listened to this album a few months ago, and completely forgot that I did so. :)
9/10. Great vibes. This album was released 32 years before I was born, yet it sounds very nostalgic to me. Great lyrics. This is a really significant album. I'm not a fan of Bruce Springsteen, but this album is really dope! :)
10/10. It's AC bloody DC!!! This album is one of the most important hard rock albums of all time! It is repetitive, but that doesn't matter, since it slaps so bloody hard! Hell, yeah! :)
6.5/10. Meh, it's alright. It's not anything very memorable. There is a plethora of better new wave out there. :)
9/10. The attitude is perfect. It's wild, and all over the place, but in a good way. The production is dope. This is such a fun album!!! :)
6.5/10. It's easy to listen to, and very decent. However, it is hardly memorable.
6.5/10. It's a really intriguing album. I think that the desert blues vibe is nice. That being said, it isn't really for me. It does have some really nice songs on it. Sorry!!! :)
8/10. Really nice melancholy. The album gets better as it progresses. It's not revolutionary, but it's really appealing. :)
100/10. What a splendid way to kick off this December!!! I'm a huge fan of Metallica. They are my third-favourite band after TOOL, and Dream Theater. They got me into metal music!!! :) I'm on day 184 in this album generator. Metallica appears four times in this generator. I've been anxiously waiting for a Metallica album to appear in this generator. Today, it FINALLY happened!!! Who needs folksy 1960's duds (not all folksy 1960's albums are duds, FYI) when you have METALLICA??? :) Listening to this album is an exhilarating experience. Symphony can add some gorgeous embellishments to the already amazing nature of Metallica's music. This is also a live album. I love the feeling of being at a concert!!! :) This album was released eight years before I was born, so I wasn't able to be at the actual concert, which is a shame. Whatever, I get to comfortably enjoy it now!!!!! :) I'd also like to talk about S&M2. The orchestra for the album was directed by Edwin Outwater, who used to be the conductor at my local symphony orchestra, who I saw perform live on a weekly basis. I may have even met him at some point. I remember being so proud of him after hearing his name called out at the end of the song "The Day That Never Comes". :) Anyway, LONG LIVE METALLICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
8/10. Revolutionary album. It was ahead of its time. This album's second track is very...interesting. It's a nice and groovy album!!! :)
7/10. Yes, sure! I don't mind staying together, Al. :) In all seriousness, this is a really pleasant soul album. While there are other soul albums among the 1,001 albums that I enjoy more than this one, this is still a really nice album!!! Its title track is great!!! :)
6/10. It's an interesting and dramatic album. However, it's not really my vibe, and it gets somewhat boring over time. :)
9/10. Um...YES, PLEASE!!! This album features the PERFECT 1960's psychedelic rock vibes. It's crazy and all over the place, but in the best way possible. Brazil knows how to make fantastic music!!! :)
7/10. Sarah Vaughn's vocals are stellar. I enjoy the audience engagement that is audible in this album. I find the fact that she forgot the lyrics of one song to be really funny. :)
9.5/10. The music is absolutely lovely. I love its medieval vibes very much! I love this kind of folk music!!! It’s relaxing, but not boring. I love the various things that go on in this fantastic album!!! :)
5.5/10. Be what? It’s okay. I don’t have much to say about this album. Be.
9.5/10. This is like progressive rock. Except it's jazz. I fucking love progressive rock!!!!! :) I'm a sucker for odd time signatures, and this album is an absolute treat to the ears!!!!! :) I need MORE of this in my life!!!!! :)
7.5/10. This album has a very interesting vibe. Some parts of the album are really satisfying, while others feel overwhelmingly noisy. I find Sonic Youth's music to be fairly hit-or-miss. This is more of a hit than a miss for me, personally. :)
8/10. I'm not even 200 albums in, but I was already assigned all three Beastie Boys albums in this list! PRE-LISTENING NOTES: I've listened to over 900 of the albums in the generator, and this one is among the few that I haven't listened to. I gave both of the other two Beastie Boys albums in the generator two stars because I didn't like either of them. Their vocals gave me a massive headache, and I didn't vibe with their production. I was hoping to be assigned this album on a later date, since I have a feeling that in some extended period of time, I will acquire a taste for the Beastie Boys' music. After listening to many hip hop albums from the generator over the past couple of months, I may end up enjoying this album. I'm excited to see. I disliked Wilco's albums Mermaid Avenue and Being There, but I loved Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Anyway, I'm going to listen to this album now, and see what I think about it!!! :) POST-LISTENING NOTES: Fuck it, I liked it. 8/10.
9/10. Yes, I can see that you're so sexy. Gosh, this album is so stunning!!! Albums like these really make me question if I'm truly not a rap fan. There is so much shite cloud rap music that is being released nowadays, so it's wonderful knowing that Outkast has existed (thank goodness they did). Brilliant album!!! :)
8/10. Bob Dylan??? Again??? Are you kidding me??? Just kidding. I love Bob Dylan, and I will probably sob if he were to die. This is the first Bob Dylan album that I've ever listened to (unless I unknowingly heard a Bob Dylan album as a baby against my will). Bob Dylan just gets it. This is a really good album!!! :)
7/10. This is very dope and cool! :) The cover art gave me electronica vibes, for some reason, so I was somewhat surprised that this is actually a world music album. :) It was definitely a fun listen. Unfortunately, I'm really not a fan of the vocals in this album, and the songs seemed to alternate between songs that I like, and songs that I dislike. :) I enjoyed "Luna y Sol" enough for me to add it to my Liked Songs playlist on Spotify, so that's good. :) I wish that there was more ethnic Latin American music in the set of 1,001 albums. :) I feel like I'm being too generous with my sets of four stars. Whatever, this album will get a set!!!!! :)
6.5/10. The album is not very good, but I did end up enjoying it quite a bit, as much as I don't wish to admit this. I'd rather listen to Bruce Springsteen, but I wouldn't mind listening to this album again. :)
10/10. It's ZZ Top, baby!!!!! :) I'm a sucker for this kind of 1970's hard rock! I cannot help but vibe REALLY hard while listening to this album!!! :)
9/10. OMG, YES!!!!! This is the 200th album that this generator gave me, and I'm really happy with its selection!!! It's one of the few albums from this generator that I have on CD. I know that my parents really like this album!!! :) Gosh, I love this type of Latin American music. It's criminally under-represented by the 1,001 album compilation.
4.5/10. A whole lot of nothing for a double album. This puts the "ass" in "Manassas".
9.5/10. What did I just listen to? Whatever it was, I loved it!!! The production of this album sounds so ahead of its time, possibly even ahead of today's time! It appears that M.I.A. had a clear artistic vision, and it was executed very well. If Björk were a rapper, I'd imagine that her music would sound similar to this (she would probably do it better, since Björk is un-matched). There is so much epic energy in this album!!! Also, I heard that Trent Reznor praised this album, and I love Nine Inch Nails. TL;DR, this SLAPS!!!
6/10. It's pleasant, it's peaceful, and it's relaxing. Sadly, it isn't really for me.
7.5/10. I'm not going to Scarborough fair, but thank you for asking me!!! :) It's a really pleasant and melancholic album!!! :)
