1001 Albums Summary

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

The well-known hits still hit, but Sabbath crawled so other bands could run. Also, Iron Man kinda sucks.

The Joshua Tree by U2

Side A is undeniably a stone cold classic.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

Great musicianship. Songs not so much.

Tapestry by Carole King

Absolutely flawless record. Easily one of the best albums ever.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets

Pretty boring

Funeral by Arcade Fire

It was probably really special at the time

Odelay by Beck

5 stars easily, one of the best from bzooty to whiskeyclone.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell

I don't "get" this one but Joni is always good

Da Capo by Love

Fucking phenomenal

Cloud Nine by The Temptations

Great group, not their strongest album

Treasure by Cocteau Twins

Goth nerds love this shit but it's mostly annoying. Amelia slaps though.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D

Lacks energy in the recording. Maybe would be more fun with different production? This album should sound a lot better than it does.

Dirt by Alice In Chains

Every song is basically the same but every song also fucks.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett

This sounds like improvised busking

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen

Exquisite.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

I know this is a classic but it does nothing for me

Dookie by Green Day

Stone cold classic

Slayed? by Slade

Second half is surprisingly much better than the first and it really grew on me. ACDC comparisons make sense but Slade shows an ability to diversify their sound more.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

Jazz is really hard to rate but this is very good

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre

Weird but cool

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

Haunting and gorgeous.

Amnesiac by Radiohead

Boring even by Radiohead standards

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

If you like one track, you should like them all

Is This It by The Strokes

Rock n roll for the anemic and uninspired

Dust by Screaming Trees

It feels heavily dated unfortunately but still pretty solid

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen

Not the biggest Bruce fan but I do think this is the best of his early stuff.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield

Feast of Wire by Calexico

Mothership Connection by Parliament
