1001 Albums Summary

Someday, Last Nite, and Hard To Explain are great and I just enjoyed vibing to this. 3 stars only because it’s my first from the list and it’s hard to rate properly at this point. Trying Your Luck also great

Repetitive. Opener is good along with hits. Final rank after finish. Just not my cup of tea.

2 stars for the importance and the impressiveness of Grohl writing and performing all parts. But the Foo Fighters have never really been my thing. Post Grunge just isn’t my favorite style.

Raw, live sound. Percussion is amazing. Santana not my favorite guitarist but absolutely kills it and you can feel the energy. Album drops off a bit near the end, but is the first part good enough?

Amazing soul album I was taken aback by how much I actually liked. Some memorable songs but a bit repetitive.

It’s like proto Weezer mixed with Phish in the best way possible way. I loved it

This is such a difficult rating. I think it’s a 4 but I’m leaning 5. I wish 4.5 existed

I don’t know how it works. I’m trying to divorce the aura of “The Beatles” from the album and judge on its own merit. I don’t know if that’s possible. This album is a mish mash of styles thrown together from a collection of guys ready to call it quits and it somehow contains sublime songwriting, face melting guitar and instrumental work, avant gard masterpieces and it achieves cohesiveness being the exact opposite. I rate low purposefully if anything is on the border but this is just…it’s 5 and there’s really no question

Fun album. Very enjoyable

Decent, not memorable to me. The hit was cheesy. Fun but have to be discerning in my rating. I’ll likely not listen again and this reflects that

A few 5 star songs. Great musicianship

First metal album and it delivers almost perfectly

Too similar of an album. Decent background music. Decent songwriting. The best composition is Man In A Shed

Great songwriting and compositions though something about it just seemed..meh. It’s 3 stars though because it is very interesting and new to me

I was looking forward to this album but my god Morrison just “chews” every line so much it was almost unlistenable.

I loved this album way more than I expected to

Didn’t finish only because it’s just so repetitive.

Some really funky stuff. Interesting the whole way through. I actually really liked it
