1001 Albums Summary

Maybe I've been a bit spoiled by Candle In The Wind since it was my frist album from Elton. It's not bad, but it didn't really strike me as anything that amazing

Yeah, I can relate a lot the the lyrics, still.

Good, wasn't expecting much due to the age but Somebody To Love and Comin' Back To Me were really standout tracks

Very passionate lyrics and vocals, a must listen if you're a fan of indie rock or if you've ever felt aimless in your heart, though I do feel like it's a bit too long and samey for my liking, it definitely peaks in the early tracks.

FUCK DA POLICE COMIN STRAIGHT FROM THE UNDERGROUND!!!

First dude out of this book, loud, annoying, super basic instrumentals coupled with super basic lyrics, any other rapper after beastie boys does it better

I remember me is a great track, but aside from that I don't think anything else stuck out. Maybe I'm not a big fan of country? I was in a sappy mood and even then I couldn't relate that much to it.

Iconic as fuck, What even else is there to say about it? It's Bad by Michael Fucking Jackson. You should know the best hits even if you weren't doing this album marathon.

It's alright, I guess. Not that much to it.

Don't listen to any of these retards spouting nonsense about this album being bad, this is for the lovers only. So far the highlight of this whole thing along with L.A Woman (day 16)

Kinda gay but in a good way

Different, doesn't have anything I would call a banger, but it's a vibe if you want something more moody and atmospheric

Can't go wrong with a good old Frank Sinatra, can you?

Very passionate lyrics and progression, yet a bit basic for most of it's singles

Rockabilly is kinda fun, actually. Had only heard about Elvis from his name alone, but now that I sat down to listen to some of his hits, he really is all that. Tutti Frutti, Blue Suede Shoes and maybe I'll Never Let You Go being the highlights.

Doesn't really stand out in anything in particular and thusly wears out it's welcome pretty fast, just your run of the mill 90's buttrock album.

Getting real tired of listening to rock only albums on this 1001 albums experience, and I'm on day 45.

Just admit you're a lazyass if you're giving it a low rating over it not being on spotify. Very stylish and classy.

Not a single song I felt like going back to and it's staying that way

Forgot how overrated Queen was

I get why people start to lower scores after a while, plenty of them start to get very unremarkable after a while lol

Such a comforting and relaxing album, very short but full ouf soul and emotions

One of the few albums I've heard fully before reading this book. It's as mid as I remember, surprised to see it here, honestly. Then again it's Taylor Swift so as mid as she is it's hard to deny the influence and broad appeal

Tried going into it with an open mind and I even liked the start but man this shit is too long for me

So sweet, so chill, so melodic! Really good on a relaxing day!

Not bad at all, but being exposed to The Queen Is Dead feels like I was spoiled the best hits of the band, really. Hope that album finds me here eventually.

PG13 movie ahh soundtrack

As stale and generic as a name like Black Metal can be, definitely trying too hard

I mean it's alright, but really? 15 minutes? I can barely form my thoughts on the songs when they're already over in a minute

Really liked this one, I was on a real boring streak lately with these albums where I only got trashy metal and emo rock so this was a nice change of pace! Oriental music isn't praised enough in the mainstream scene so this was a nice surprise!

Worth it just for Rollin alonge, though My Way and My Generation are lowkey bangers too

I didn't know the line in the coconut came from here! Awesome!

Something about African music is really soothing, you can really feel the passion coming out of all the chants and vocals they put on all these songs

Half the album is unavailable on spotify so I had to make do with just listening to another album lmao

Baby One More Time and You Drive Me Crazy are absolute timeless bangers, shame nothing else sticks out for the remainder of the album. Very hard carry from these two songs

Not only is it mid but this guy is a contender for one of the ugliest album covers on Spotify, shit's hilariously awful

Really don't get the hate for country music if they can be as good as this.

Very quirky, stonehead music. The type of thing you'd hear in a whacko dreamcast rhythm game, and that's a compliment!

You cant sound like a gangsta rapper and have a british posh accent at the same time, sorry.

I'm pretty sure they have the entire Beatles discography on this considering this is the 3rd album I get from them on day 224, and no matter how many times they get shoved on me and hear all about how important they were for music, I still think they're boring as fuck, please stop trying to convince me otherwise, I'm not falling for the psyop

First track is good and the title track is an all time banger but that's about it for remarkable moments on this.

Keywords: Raw, Shit Yeah that seems about right.

I can't give anything other than 5 stars for making the Exorcist theme by being a one man band. Good on ya, Mike.

I've heard the name Robbie Williams a few times in tabloids during my life and I always thought he was one of those corny celebrities known by shallow people who never really had that much talent to show to the world but had enough money to back it up. After listening to one of his albums it's good to know that I was mostly correct

Oh wow! Another uninspired rock album on this list? Color me impressed!

Can't believe I got this recommendation right after Ozzy passed away. Timing couldn't be better. R.I.P to the prince of Darkness </3

Whatever charm listening to Ella Fitzgerald could have is robbed by having to listen to a 3h15 min album.

It's all shit you've heard before in all the other Nirvana albums, but on MTV, great pick for 1001 albuns!

Reminder not to trust the overall ratings on this site

Fantano was lowkey right on his scoring. This album's quality drops off a cliff after All Of The Light and it doesnt really bounce back despite trying on some tracks. Given how Ye's obssession with porn and delusions of grandeurs have gotten worse, it almos feels like he was foreshadowing his own current demise, but if anything, it doesn't make the album any better, moreso it servers as merely the cutting off point from his peak to his fall from grace. Important record, but nevertheless inconsistent.

Yeah there are some good tracks on this but 2 hours of banjo twangs? I could live without

Killer Queen is an obligatory listen for a Jojo fan but that's about it

UNMATCHED GROOVINESS!

If you wanna sound gangsta when you're rapping, make sure your swear words aren't censored, or else you'll just look like a pussy. Very telling that the only good tracks here are the ones with Lauryn Hill

Yeah, I can tell. Shit sounds like a Youtube Poop most of the time.

Big Iron on his hiiiiiiiip

Every song here sounds like the DK Rap

Pretty sure they have The Who's entire discography here with how many albums they recommended it to me, stop doing that, I still think their sound is ass and listening to more of it won't make me think otherwise

Very underrated! I heard Back To Black before started this project and I wasnt really impressed with it, so color me surprised in seeing how much range Amy's had, from Scat Singing to Jazz to regular Pop! It's a shame she went out so ugly, she barely hit her prime...

The best Taylor Swift has to offer. Still think Taylor Swift is painfully mediocre.

Edgeslop. Whatever accurate social commentary Manson has here is lost on how awful he sounds and how crude and immature his lyrics are. The Beautiful People goes kinda hard tho.

My biggest criticism of this book is that despite how many recommendations in over 60 years of recorded music history, very little is international, instead opting for a lot of boring, unremarkable, formulaic period pieces from an euro-american POV, and this nothinburger of an album is the best example that comes to mind in how I will forget it exists by the time I finish this listening in how exhaustingly played out it is

Maybe the real reason Kurt Cobain shot himself was because he knew his girlfriend was the real talent

If I have to hear another beatles wannabe 60s groupie band with a bob hairdo I will call this project a sham to everyone I know. I mean come the fuck on, this is album 413 I'm in!

Funny how I went from. 'This guy sings like Donald Trump speaks', to 'Hey wait, this voice is familiar...' to 'It's the Toy Story guy!' His voice might be grating to some but I really dig his solo work now, respect.

One of my first introductions to Rap music all the way back in the 2000s, I still have a soft spot for 50, as the first 6 tracks still go insanely hard to this day, but this album is too damn bloated for it's own good. It's no wonder 50 fell off so fast, he was in the sweet spot in the timeline where Eminem was on the way out from his drug abuse and Kanye still hadn't started making music yet, so he had exactly 3 years to make the most out of the vacuum from the rap game. He did, he went hard, but after Eminem and Dr. Dre hard carried his first album, it wasn't hard to see that 50 had no longetivity in his career.

One of the best of all time, really made my teenage years a lot more tolerable, love it to death <3

No, he's dead.

It might be long and not on Spotify, but the beats on this are insane, feels like early vaporwave with the samples and chopped and screws

Yare Yare Daze... Roundabout is an all time classic immortalized by JJBA, to the point where everything else feels extra and not up to par.
