1001 Albums Summary

Second song is great! Overall a bit weird and maybe too much going on?

Misogynistic and embarrassing to the genre 1.3

Just brilliant, what a voice, what an album… 4.8

Nothing special

Cool, a bit repetitive

Some good songs, a bit much at times

Went through the whole album without realising it, amazing listen!

Not something I would ever listen to again, I may be anglocentric though

Nothing exciting at all

As expected

Fun listen, nothing stands out though…

Makes you happy and has that oldies nostalgia

R.E.M. at their absolute peak, I loooove this album 4.6

How can you even call this art

Fun to listen to and exactly what you would want from a punk album

Nothing special, not awful but too long, would not go back to it

Blindingly good

Scenic and makes you forget about the world around you

Beautiful in a way only the 70s could be

Good, not my cup of tea at all times

A bit tiring

Close to being a 4 star… a nice mix between nirvana and radiohead

Not particularly fun to listen to

Very good just not an album I could listen to often

Fun listen!

It's ok just a load of sound to be honest

What a great listen!

Might be a bit boring and monotonous but it has some good concepts that work quite well

Some good tracks... could have been a 4 if some of the weird ones weren't included

Power to the union!

Who knew that latin and psychedelic would work so well together?!

Simple, happy, velvety

Not bad

This album makes you feel like you're sat on your own next to a lake on a hot summer's day sipping at a herbal tea

Some really good vocals but lack of variety in the songs

When the USA wasn't bombing other countries or orchestrating fascist military coups in the Americas, it produced pretty good music...

This I did not expect, the album explores and merges so many different ideas and genres successfully, delivering you what by all means is a masterpiece of music.

Anyone who gives this a 5 is a pretentious fuck

Can't go wrong

Good listen but did she really do anything that original? The best songs were not even hers

Nothing terrible just didn't enjoy it really

He's a nonce

Didn't expect to like this as much as I did, however it did go on for a bit too long to the point where it became repetitive

Classic early 60s but nothing mind blowing

Clearly fallen from his peak but still decent

Felt like I heard the same song 15 times

A lot of people had already done what Joan attempted in this album, and a lot more successfully

Nothing outstanding but a good album

True music

Good 60s sound but nothing exceptional

You get what you expect, quality varies (you can tell some songs were written in 2 minutes the lyrics are laughable)

Coldplay is coldplay theyve done well but don't deserve the level of praise they've had

Good vibes but thats about it

Pogues doing what they do best, jolly and sorrowful at the same time but a bit tiring at times

Come on Janis, it's not fair on the rest of us

Good uk rock, started off strong... became mediocre by the end

Not a bad listen, just so mediocre...(track 4 is good)

I can't say I particularly enjoyed it, also some of the tracks were so annoying

Kinky

Almost a 4 but there was nothing prticularly special

Not sure how to feel about this? It's relaxing and exotic but I have no idea what is influential about it?

Complete bs but so funny

Had me dancing along for 80 minutes

Out of context, 4 stars, but knowing they were copying exactly what the beatles were doing a few years earlier I can't give more than 3. Good listen though

Feel good ambience of a mid 70s album with a typical romance storyline

Very original, opened my eyes to how he exploited other musicians without giving them credits. The 4 stars are for those who actually wrote the music.

Not sure where all the hate comes from, a bit simple but fun listen

Just shy of perfection, loved it

Travis hold a dear place in my heart

Handful of tracks are FINE, others are just awful. If not for the former, would have been an easy 1 star

3.5 but ill give it a 4 because of Fever

Reminds me of late 50s instrumental surf rock but redisigned

It's shit

Not something I'd choose to listen but pleasant

Great rock music with some rock and roll hints

Crap

It was okay, but cool that it was in the 70s, sounds a lot more recent

Very interesting very different, had it been a little less repetitive it would have been a 5 star

A lot better than I expected!

This is what rap should have stayed at

It's a pisstake but funny listen

A true performance

What a great live performance

Pretty generic, not bad

Wonderful sound, wonderful voice

A bit boring

Not sure what that was, didn't love it but it was certainly something

Okay, a bit boring

Very original

Nice late 60s sound

They never dissapoint

Some good songs, overall a bit boring

Why couldn't music stay like this??

It was quite different for its time, not sure I love it. Liked some parts though, I'm feeling generous today

Very boring

Quite impressive, not really my genre though

Good stuff

I liked it a lot, not particularly original but good

I liked it a lot, not particularly original but good

Got that 80s rock sound I love and is surprisingly versatile if you pay attention

A new wave mix of the Cranberries and Radiohead

Relaxing but not the most memorable

Good mix of genres, but a lot of tracks could have been avoided, there is a definite variety of quality

Geniunely impressed me, never heard anything like it... and you know what? It was good! 4 stars just because of how different it is

3.5 it was good not sure about lyrics

Very very good

Some good songs, others not so memorable

First half was brilliant, the second contained some questionable quality rock and vocals

Cool and original but not my genre

Don't normally like this kind of music, but this is very original and I like the narration touch;)

Something very original and eerie about this

Such a fresh album, like the concept a lot, almost 5 stars

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and oh my does Blondie make a banging breakfast. I'm still waiting for my lunch and dinner however...

Left me wanting

The first half is a let down, the second half is amazing

Decent, better on the second listen

So good!!!

Not impressive

Quite decent actually!

There's worse out there but I really don't like this type of commercial crap

Actually very good!

For the first time I've actually been impressed by hip hop

Good but nothing special

What else was I gonna give this

I understand where the sentiment behind the album comes but most of the messaging is everything I hate in music. It paved the path for the disgusting stuff the industry promotes nowadays.

Good music

Classics

One good song doesn't make it a good album

4.5 so close to being a 5, such a well rounded album

It was interesting, sometimes a bit hard to listen to

Some tracks were good, some not so much, can't give it more than a 3

Some good tracks, digestible by anyone

not great not bad, not memorable

There is a lot to say about this album. Is it all good? No! But it certainly possesses some interesting elements that will push you beyond your comfort zone. I did get into some of the songs, others not so much. I like how little this album doesn't try to make itself likeable.

Not something I'd normally listen to, but I enjoyed it! That being said, I wouldn't rush to go back to it

If I went to a party, and someone played this album, I'd want to be invited back

The reviews seem to be either very good or very bad. Bad, Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal are all good tracks, but the rest of the album genuinely feels like the B track of Thriller. Plus, he's a nonce.

What an album: great lyrics, great songs, great artists! Some tracks were felt a bit repetitive, and this is definitely not my favourite genre, but other than thst I can't fault it. 4.2

I've always loved this kind of music and this album is no exception. However some tracks are quite "bland", they really don't try anything special. 3.7

Interesting, daring, but I wouldn't go back to it. Some tracks were actually very good, others were forgettable. 2.9

Sounds exactly like something a Trump-voting redneck would put on before going to bed with his wife, only to finish just before getting to "Jump".

Flamboyant, entertaining, nostalgic, breathtaking... Queen at the start of their absolute peak. How can you fault this? (I can, and I will: the fucking song about the car) 4.7

His voice and mystic lyrics were grabbing, but it lacked any showstopper songs. 3.6

Using old and new elements to create a fresh, fun sound in an era where music was going in a completely different direction. I see what you did and I like it. 3.8

I gave this a chance, I really did, but seriously, what the fuck is wrong with him. Half the songs I had to skip cause they were just disgusting and cringy. The only reason why this album isn't a 1 is thanks to Stan... what a brilliant track. Other than that it's very hard to find anything good to say about this album.

Basic 60s yankee album, nothing special considering the rest of what was being released at the time. 2.4

Wannabe cool, ends up being cring. There are a couple good songs but they're covers. 2.4

I enjoyed this, I don't normally listen to acoustic albums. That being said, it's no more than background music. 3.4

Cool, groovy, fun! Kinda 1 dimensional? 3.9

Impressive what he's done with such a simple concept. Such an easy listen, would go back to it! 3.8

A true gem of music. Combines old influences yet manages to give them a fresh spin. Beautiful voice, powerful lyrics and great use of backup vocals (don't see this too often). This album truly has no weak links and has several masterpieces. I can't rate it any lower than 4.7

Brilliant album, solid all round, and what a tune "Whole Lotta Love" is. Would be giving an easy 5 star, but for me there's only one outstanding song. And that's not enough for a 5 star I'm afraid. 4.3

Gets you in the mood for singing and dancing, a staple of any 80s diet. Nothing groundbreaking or particluarly impressive. 3.2

I can't find something too exciting about the album, the songs are pretty similar to each other. That being said it wasn't bad at all. 2.9

Cool concept and funny album, but I wouldn’t necessarily rush back to it. 3.1

If you asked me to find the most bog standard alternative rock album, this would be top of my list. It's not bad, it's just not that good at the end of the day. 2.8

All time classics in this, quality varies but is throughout a good album 3.6

One good song, then a lot of similar ones. I can't get passionate enough about him 3.0

Sweet and melodic, but nothing groundbreaking 3.4

Love the energy, love the music 4.1

I mean... I like the energy, but I wouldn't really care for listening to it again 2.9

Actually quite a banger of an album. Yes, there were some weaker songs in the mix but overall it was really good. 3.8

Interesting mix of rock and country, maybe a bit bland though? No standout song. 3.4

I liked that there was a mix of metal and softer melodies. Not offensive to listen to, but not my type of music either. 3.1

First hints of punk in an era dominated by classic rock bands. I like what they did there. None of the songs are outstanding but it's a good album to listen to. 3.4

Lovely voice, pretty standard songs for the genre, I did enjoy it a lot though. 3.4

What a nostalgic album, I love Marc Bolan. Some brilliant songs some a bit more mediocre. 4.4

Great voice, can't say I love this type of music. 2.8

Yes okay it's The Who. Did it do anything special for me? No. Would I listen to it again? No. Did I like it? Sure. 3.1

I enjoyed it, nothing too memorable though? 3.3

Love it, brilliant composition, all songs are good. Who's that lady is an absolute banger. 4.2

Cool album, like the experimentation with different sounds and instruments. Not something I'd listen to regularly but I'm glad I did. 3.4

I like the ambiance they're able to create, but the entirety of the album felt quite monotonous. Also, no standout songs in my opinion. 3.2

I'm sure they enjoyed making this but it's pretty much shit to listen to 1.8

Yaaaaaaaawn 2.4

I like what they've done here, lovely harmonies and generally just a nice ambiance they've created 3.7?

These guys can make some good music, and I will listen to it... for maybe 30-40 minutes. But 2 hours? Come on you're taking the piss. 3.1

Didn't hate it, but every song sounded the same as the rest. It almost seemed like a parody of latin music... 2.4

I like their sound palette. Nothing particularly groundbreaking or spectacular but I like it. 3.3

No comment. 4.7

Cool early glam rock music, nothing particularly memorable. 3.2

Good album, like the 80s style, but I don't really hear anything that impresses me too much. 3.4

What a banger of an album. Life on mars has to be one of my all time fav Bowie tracks. This one is very close to being a 5 star but not quite there 4.3

I probably forget I ever listened to this. Still, enjoyable to listen to and she has a nice voice. (I like the beatles cover). 3.2

Brilliant album, some great songs. This has made me want to watch the Commitments again... 4.2

That was honestly a fucking masterpiece of an album, I can't fault it. Stairway to heaven, however mainstream, was is and will be one of my favourite songs of all time. What an album... what an album... 4.9

Lovely little jazz dinner party 3.8

Same beat for every song, I can barely understand what they're saying, what is even special about this. The occasional vocals made this somewhat tolerable but apart from that it was pretty crap. 1.8

Utterly boring rock music. Listenable but not enjoyable. How is this on the list?! 2.2

I think it's a decent album, I like the overall composition. I don't think there's anything outstanding about it and there were also a few weak tracks. 3.4

I loved so many of the songs on this one, I am really impressed by some of the lesser known tracks. I don't feel like it was on the level of the other 5 stars but it was close in my opinion. Might come back to this one again. 4.4

Some really cool sounds, I recognise patterns from irish and northern greek music. I can't say I particularly loved the album but certainly was an interesting listen. 3.2

I love the energy, I love the sounds, I love the Fairytale in New York song! What a fun album and what a great band 3.8

I am biased because it is REM, not their strongest album but some bangers in this. What can I do, Stripe's voice and the mandolin are just a match made in heaven 3.9

This album is like reading a richard brautigan book. It's bonkers and I love it. 3.9

I like some of the songs a lot, but as an album it's not got anything that stands out. I liked it, I could be convinced to give it a 4. 3.4

I feel like I'm in falasarna watching the sun set into the sea 4.0

Look, it's not that it's bad, it's that it's really bad... To be fair to it, it has some okay tracks but come on it's pretty shit overall. 1.7

Not sure how to feel about this. It's boring but also kinda fun at the same time, the music style changes a lot throughout the album. I kinda.... like it? 3.1

Super repetitive and nothing that I'd ever go back to. 1.8

Love this live album, it has every good about a live performance. All songs are bangers too 4.2

Like the raw passion, don't like her voice, quite annoying after a while. 2.8

Could have gone either way, turns out I'm more pretentious than I thought. 3.4

Definitely think there are better latin albums out there but I really enjoyed that! 3.8

This just reaffirmed my aversion to hip hop

Nothing remarkable, won't remember this in a week. Nothing bad about it, just very bland 2.7/5
