1001 Albums Summary

Couple great songs on here (Our House, Almost Cut My Hair) but on the whole a bit meandering for me.

Can't argue with the hits but a whole album is just a bit much 💀

My second Steely Dan album in a week... not best pleased!! I liked this better than Pretzel Logic - less rocky but more cheesy. Unfortunately the last few songs pushed it down to another 2 stars 👎

I LOVE War Pigs. Fun to have a reason to listen to the rest of the album. I was having a good time but I got a bit bored in the second half - maybe just too much of the same for me.

Not Brian's best

Love it, one of my all-time classics. European Son is usually a skip for me though 😬

Mercifully short

Heard bits of this before but never listened to it in full - great album. The only miss for me was Oompa Radar...

Honestly liked this a lot more than I expected. Kind of an intense listen so I'm not sure I'd come back it a lot, but glad I gave this a chance.

Not really my thing, but nowhere near as cheesy as I thought

Not enough going on lyrically for me to get stuck into personally, but this was fun

Not gonna be a repeat listen for me, but damn this was some good cowboy drama

The 2 first songs are absolute bangers, but having listened to this album a few times over the years, they're the only tracks I come back to. There's not much else I connect with here. Still, the rest of it isn't *bad* (except Mother's Lament...???). I'm trying to separate art from artist and all that with this challenge, but I should also note that Eric Clapton can get fucked.

So CUTE

I started getting a migraine while I was listening to this and I don't think the two things are totally unrelated

I enjoyed this! Even though I liked the Tears for Fears songs I knew already it would never have occurred to me to listen to one of their albums. On an unrelated note, I think my dad said he met one of these guys in a smoking area one time. I should ask him about that...

More listenable than I expected but also more goofy

Found this very repetitive. Didn't really do anything for me.

This is the first one I've thought about skipping, but I did end up making it to the end. The human story behind the album is sad but I really don't think it should be on the list - it's totally unfinished.

Man I loved this. I'm realising it makes a big difference what I'm doing while I listen to an album. I listened to this while I was doing something creative and energetic, and it was a perfect match.

Squishy

This was great, not sure why I've struggled to get into it previously

I just can't ever stay with Bjork for the length of an entire album, and this one felt the same way

This one's an easy 5

Cheese, not the tasty kind

This is making it into my rotation, 100%. LOVED it.

Funky

It's a goodun but honestly it's a bit too much rock for me. Also, Success is just such a hard skip...

Not my favourite Bowie album, but it's pretty damn good

I couldn't explain why but I sure did hate this album. (The band name can't have helped)

Ughhhh dad rock

Honestly I was so excited for the big hits but I didn't realise the album tracks would be so MUSHY

Lotta fun

Perfectly listenable, kinda boring

These 2000s fuzzy indie rock bands are just so boring to me...

I meeean I know this is exactly the kind of thing that put me off hip hop when I was younger, but tbh it slaps
