1001 Albums Summary

Weird but in a good way Mostly really great, warszawa is kind of mid though and weeping wall is garbage Not Bowie's usual style, but a good album nonetheless

Boring ambience that sounds like it should be playing in a starbucks

All kind of the same

Boring circus music Also, I seem to be the only person who likes the beatles but not this album

Heavily autotuned, uninspired crap. The lyrics are overly repetitive and they sound like they were written by a Hollywood writer. The music has been quantised to the point of no return and uses boringly basic melodies

Leonard Cohen if he had no talent whatsoever

Psychedelic crap

Plain old rock & roll, nothing special but not bad either

Without you is pretty good, rest of the album is just silly

I can see why some people might like this, but I don't like it. Rounding up 1.5

Generally don't like this kind of music, this album is an absolute banger though

An interesting idea, just carried out poorly "The Old Castle" should have a seizure warning at the beginning

It's Christmas music

This is what the Beatles would sound like if they replaced John Lennon with Freddie Mercury (or what Queen would sound like if they replaced Mercury with Lennon)

An excellent album, but the song titles are so long that by the time the song is finished, the full title still won't have scrolled all the way across the screen, Or, the song is 16 seconds long so even if the title is shorter you can't see the whole thing, Or, the song is so long that the 35-word title can scroll all the way through the screen 10 times before the song ends, Or...

A couple of good songs, but mostly garbage.

I don't see how anyone can hear loud screaming and loud, out of tune, randomly placed power chords on an overly distorted guitar and think "wow, this is a masterpiece!" But many of the reviews say that this is a great, even "quintessential" or "perfect" album. Is there something I'm missing, or are these just 90s kids being nostalgic about the 90s?

Wouldn't be bad as background music in some cafe, otherwise pretty boring

Pretty good (for a rap album)

Boring

The lyrics to some of the songs sound like they were taken straight out of This Is Spinal Tap

Mumbling on top of generic jazz tunes

3 hours and 14 minutes of Looney Tunes music

Starts off with a banger, rest of the album is kind of mid

One of the greatest albums of all time. 100/5

basically just black sabbath but with little to no vocal talent

Horrendously overrated. Venus in Furs was a high point though.

Forgettable but not unlistenable Pretty cool though how a band with roughly half as many monthly listeners as Kai Cenat mad it onto this list

Paul is the only one with his right foot forward in the photo. What does this mean? What really happened on the M1 motorway on January 7, 1967?

the most 90s thing I have ever heard

So boring that I turned on a premier league game instead of listening to this

This album is a medieval torture method

Tom Waits has such a beautiful voice

David Bowie if he peaked in the 80s

Super generic, sounds like something out of a Ford or Dodge commercial

Every song on this album is exactly the same, but without a doubt it's a great song.

Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre, then stepped aside Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried: (I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

Reminds me of David Bowie in his Aladdin Sane era

Nirvana if they were chill

The fact that there is even a single country album on this list is an abomination. the extra star is for kd lang being a fellow canadian

Conor Deasy sounds like a 10 year old boy who's never left the city of London attempting to mimic an American accent

This was my 100th album. Today, though, I woke up at 4 AM, threw up nonstop for about an hour, then went back to bed, waking up briefly at noon, and then I woke up at 8 o'clock, according to my phone. At first, I thought it was 8 AM tomorrow, and thought that I had missed my 100th album. However, I realised 20 minutes later that it was actually 8:20 PM today, and quickly pulled up the 1001 albums website to listen to this (keep in mind my stomach felt like it had a bunch of nails in it and I was so exhausted I could barely walk) - and this album nearly made me throw up again.

this album has made me prejudiced against george michael

A good album at its base but the lead singer's voice is so annoying

Fiona Apple reinvents "rock" music by hitting two rocks together and calling it music

This is horrid and listening to it makes me angry

ZedZed Top as we call them in canada

not on spotify and the only version on youtube is some middle aged with the thickest British accent known to man recording the vinyl record on his iphone 3 while yapping about the album throughout the entire 50 minutes (music was pretty bad anyways)

Wah-Wah might just be the greatest diss track of all time

Besides the song London Calling, this entire album is garbage.

Unbelievable how so many classics can come from one album

The only people who unironically listen to this are angry millenial dads

quite dandy indeed

anita baker has a nice voice but this is super boring

if it's not even on YouTube music, let alone spotify, it can't be that good

This is a very generous 2

If you arrange the songs (excluding the first two) in reverse alphabetical order by title, and then arrange the third last letter from the fifth word of the second verse of each song in that order, it spells "ELVIS IS ALIVE"

red dead redemption type music

eminem if he was somehow even edgier

at first I thought "well this is some pretty good classic rock" but after a few songs you realise they're just Beatles copycats

who unironically listens to sweaty angry men screaming

just sounds like two pots being smacked together

absolutely scrumptious

Young Americans and fame are great songs obviously, and somebody up there likes me is pretty good, but otherwise just ok

the first half of Layla is better than the second half

why do all of the top reviews say this is forgettable this is iconic

I am going to Rage against Rage against the machine

the first two songs were pretty good but it just kind of fell off from there

temu beatles

I don't see how Taylor Swift ever became popular or how millions of people unironically like her music. The lyrics are uninspired and basically every song has the exact same music on top of her annoying, shrill voice. I completely understand why this album is on the list, being one of the most influential albums and artists of the 2010s (if not the most), but how Taylor Swift became this influential and loved is beyond me. It's deeply disappointing that nowadays there is a set formula you can follow (chord progressions, melodies, etc) to have your music noticed, and the fact that many artists follow this formula for every single song they make shows that they don't really care about making good music or new music, or authenticity, but they just want to get rich & famous as quickly as they can. It's a relief, of course, to see modern artists that don't follow the same formula for every song, and there are plenty of those, mostly towards the rap side of popular music, but back before my time, every artist would pour their heart and soul into everything they made. Taylor Swift, on the other hand, doesn't even write her own lyrics. It took a team of Hollywood writers to write all the lyrics, another team of musicologists and actual musicians to write the instrumentals and make them using a computer program, and another team of sound engineers to expertly autotune and basically curate Taylor Swift's voice, all to create a generic, boring song whose entire purpose is to get stuck in everyone's heads for a week and then be forgotten. It took one man to write Bohemian Rhapsody (and another 3 to perform it, I'll give her that), in all its complexity and grandeur, and it still survives as a well-known and well-loved song 50 years later. If you can't even make your voice sound good with autotune and a million filters, it's time to switch to playing bass.

Almost a 5 but feels like it's missing something

her voice is so annoying

Boring

anyone who gives literal screaming anything higher than a 2 is mentally ill

"We have the Beatles at home"

I don't think he realised just how loudly he was screaming into the microphone

spinal tap

ew

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Rest in peace ❤️

almost a 4 but kind of boring

please stop screaming at me

too short

I have never heard anything like MGMT, and i probably never will

pretty interesting but i got bored

accordion metal should not be this good

literally the only albums i have gotten from this generator so far (almost 300 albums in) with french titles are the ones that i got while i was in montreal. the algorithms are listening

solid intro but got boring afterwards

Currently the top review on this album is a one-star review about how there are too many Nick Cave albums on this list and it is nearly impossible to listen to. Upon clicking their profile you will find that they are a fan of Frank Sinatra, disco, and 90s rap. Clearly we have picked the wrong people to judge what music is good and what music is bad.

not on spotify

i wasn't sure whether to give this a 3 or a 4 but all of the top reviews are 1s and 2s so i'll just stir it up a bit

I haven't listened to much michael jackson before, and now i'm left thinking, what's the big deal. It's just like any other 80s pop album

nearly a 1 but not entirely unlistenable

not a mid album per se, just an even mix of good songs and bad songs

when is someone going to tell her that "all" and "deep" don't rhyme

i'm genuinely flabbergasted at just how much exponentially better this is than you've come a long way baby

yeah it sucks but those cymbals save it from being a 1

somewhere in between the beach boys and jimi hendrix but if they both actually knew how to make music

this album was so groovy and funky it knocked the rocks out of my socks

whose idea was it to put british rap on this list

before redditors, we had this. ✝️

i genuinely can't wrap my head around how boring this is

Producer 1: "What if the Clash/the Jam/the Ramones/the Sex Pistols made an entirely new style of music?" Producer 2: "Nah, let's just make them irish."

nowhere NEAR the worst album on the site almost a 4 even, but got boring eventually

stop trying to be queen bro

boring

BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lord of the rings elf music

on housequake he sounds like a south park character

whoa dude this is so funky & groovy

this went hard whilst playing amongus

boring

would be a solid 4 stars without the singing

solid 3 without this fire and take me out

it has taken me 3 arcade fire albums from this generator to realise that win butler sounds like gord downie if he was french and loved the canadiens

if this album doesnt make you cry you are an emotionless psychopath and you should be ejected from society

there are better and worse kanye albums

It genuinely feels amazing to get this after a week of 2 and 3 star albums

stay with me is pretty good, rest of the album is boring

Groupthink is real 1. There is no way that 50% of people think this or any album is unlistenable garbage 2. It's not even unlistenable garbage

adele if she couldn't sing

i'm sorry gang but the david bowie version of china girl is MILES better

music for milennials to cry and eat to

not only is it consistent, but nick cave is able to keep this consistency for an entire hour and a half straight.

not even the best album with a mangled crab on its cover (the mollusk by ween)

nepotism at its finest

wikipedia doesn't even mention this album's 2/10 rendition of twist and shout

this would make a great soundtrack for a musical also this version of born to run is WAY better than the original

if you can read polish, the title is much more accurate

not that far off from david bowie's debut album
