1001 Albums Summary

Interesting listen. Has a definite vibe. Requires more listening

Needs more listening. Some standouts, very Britpop.

Some fairly uninteresting instrumental tracks and some uninspired rock tracks (on first listen anyway)

An album I was very familiar with beforehand, so can't compare to my other ratings really. I took this as an opportunity to listen to the mono mix for the first time and I liked the punch it has. Of course a fantastic and classic album but for me misses out on the fifth star just due to the amount I replay it compared to the albums I love most.

A chill album for comfortable chill listen. I liked it

Not my thing but sounds like a decent reggae record

A comfortable listen. A bit ploddy at the start but it picks up towards the end. Not a fan of In the Ghetto (knew this one before) but I love Suspicious Minds

Surprisingly enjoyable and honest

Pretty cringe lyrics but perhaps overall not as bad as expected

Some cool gospel influences and despite the song variety, holds together nicely

Could have worse but unlikely to play again

Enjoyable listen - not normally within my musical remit but I would potentially revisit.

Enjoyable

Very 80's. Some great guitar work here

A chill and enjoyable listen

Strange but intriguing. A Queen cover in German in there threw me a bit of a curveball.

Great album. Discs 1&2 contain 18 hits and 0 misses. Disc 3 is still enjoyable but should be viewed as a bonus rather than as part of the album

A fun listen and absolutely deserves its place on this list

Not my cup of tea really but quite peaceful

New wave is not my thing, but not a bad listen overall

Enjoyed more than I expected

Enjoyed more than expected.

Great album, never listened to Deep Purple past Smoke On The Water but I enjoyed this a lot.

Only ever heard of these guys because they supported Queen for a couple of tours in the '70s and their concert staple Now I'm Here is dedicated to Mott, but I'd never actually listened to anything they recorded. Enjoyed it a lot.

Enjoyed more than I thought I would

An unexpectedly great listen

Surprisingly consistent, only ever really listened to Elton's singles before

Such an interesting listen, you don't see rap operas often. everything that I enjoyed about it seems to be why everyone else doesn't like it. I have a new favourite rap album.

Experimental but enjoyable

An interesting record... May not listen again but somehow glad it was here

A varied and enjoyable album. A second listen may reveal how much I enjoy this album

What more can be said - a classic and possibly my favourite and most listened to of all time. Sgt Pepper PSA: Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever should be listened to with this album, and the original stereo mix (Remastered 2009) is dreadful, I recommend the Mono mix (found on streaming services) if listening on speakers, and the stereo remix (2017 Remix) on headphones.

Could’ve been worse for a 90’s cheesy pop album. Couple of great tracks, whole lot of cringe. Overuse of pitch correction too, quite distracting.

Bland and harmless

Enjoyed more than expected, some good musicality in here

Not my favourite of theirs but still one of the best albums of all time imo

Enjoyed more than moving pictures

Early Beatles PSA: much better in mono (unfortunately not on streaming) and should be listened with I Want to Hold Your Hand and This Boy

Definitely too long. Second disc was much better than the first. 3 and 1 so an average of 2

Raw and powerful - solo Lennon at his best
