1-Star Albums (2)
All Ratings
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
jimi is cool and talented but these songs don't do anything for me. the hits are the hits but I don't think anything of the album tracks
Elvis Presley
3/5
it is an elvis presley album. he is talented but i don't really care for it
Beck
3/5
this is a cool beck album. not as weird as i wanted it to be but i think it's quite nice anyways
Lou Reed
4/5
just one of those endlessly relistenable albums. i think i would eventually upgrade this to a perfect score but right now it's just one of those albums that's packed full of great tunes
Leonard Cohen
4/5
goated stuff
Pearl Jam
5/5
this is a goated one from me from my teenage years. i think it's closer to a 9 than a 10 if i'm speaking objectively but i love this album full heartedly so
The Electric Prunes
3/5
it's alright. i think there are interesting parts on it but i wouldn't really think of this as mindblowing or standout music from the early rock period
Caetano Veloso
3/5
i'm sure it's good if you're more familiar with brazilian/tropicalia music but without a reference point, it's kinda just okay
Stevie Wonder
3/5
these songs don't really take me places, but goddamn those basslines
Kings of Leon
3/5
it's mid
Jeff Buckley
4/5
something haunting and quite beautiful about it
The Smiths
3/5
obv the weakest smiths album but that's still pretty good
Mercury Rev
4/5
definitely in the relisten pile. it doesn't obviously grab me from the start but i think that it's one of those albums that will grow on you. very spacey and cool
Various Artists
3/5
thank you phil spector for the christmas gift. no thank you to murdering that person
DJ Shadow
5/5
sounds insanely cool
The Doors
3/5
i tend to be put off by the doors but this album was alright
Aretha Franklin
4/5
i dont think i connect to this album at all, not my sort of music, but you really can't deny how great it is. absolutely flawless
Parliament
4/5
is it greedy to want more funk from the "we want the funk" album?
Beatles
4/5
i have a hard time getting into the beatles but this album has the best songs of all the ones i have heard
The Jam
3/5
this has the early feel of an album that sticks in your head and eventually you come round to realize its brilliance
Buzzcocks
3/5
pretty straightforward punk, no complaints here
Ryan Adams
1/5
i don’t think i was ever going to give this a truly fair listen as a phoebe bridgers fan, but i was willing to at least give him a chance and holy shit this was the most annoying album i’ve listened to. it’s an old joke but it really does sound like starbuckscore. i think that all the criticism directed towards male singer songwriter for being vain crybabies can be forwarded to ryan adams.
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
it's nice with it, what more can you say
U2
4/5
songs so good that you forget bono is a twat
The Beach Boys
4/5
Willie Nelson
4/5
i didnt know these songs were covers because i've never heard the originals but they're definitely willie's songs to me now
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
2/5
presumably before they released the album, they sat down and heard that it was maps (truly amazing song, one of the best in the genre) and then 10 of the most garbage my-first-punk-song ass tracks of all time and said "yeah, let's drop this one"
The Lemonheads
3/5
this sounded like the in-between of dino jr and emo which i both enjoy but it never really grabbed me like those two do
Nirvana
5/5
i mean cmon
The Notorious B.I.G.
3/5
was always west coast but i'm mature now and have put long dead (no pun intented) rap beefs behind me. i still don't care for this album. yes, biggie is talented and it carries such an aura that you have to respect, but there's so much fat to be cut (pun intended) and i have a hard time finding standout songs that aren't the hits. the skits sucked too
Duran Duran
3/5
i'm usually a slut for 80s pop but this is unfortunately just pretty mid to me. not annoying, not bad, but not great. solidly mid
Pulp
3/5
plenty of good songs but no great ones
Van Halen
3/5
its dumb fun, what more do you need
ABBA
2/5
i just cant get into abba but this album made me smile because it made me think of alan partridge
Bee Gees
3/5
kinda beatles-y, i dig it
Sepultura
3/5
b tier thrash. good headbanging stuff but not transcendental
Iron Maiden
4/5
a perfect album minus a few songs
Grateful Dead
1/5
i really want to give the dead a chance and see why everyone likes them but holy shit this album goes nowhere but goes on forever
Ramones
3/5
yup its a ramones album 👍
Blondie
3/5
Madness
3/5
i liked crazy ska madness a bit more. whats up with the racist stuff?
The Black Crowes
2/5
mid
Talking Heads
4/5
the most normal talking heads album, which is to say that it is not their best and not their most interesting, but still is tasty and has a banger or two
Soundgarden
3/5
merely alright
Scritti Politti
3/5
i don't know if this is one of the 1001 albums i need to listen to before i die but it's pretty fun, i'll give it that
Weather Report
3/5
fun stuff
The War On Drugs
3/5
a little bob dylan, a little bruce springsteen, honestly not good enough to be either, but hard to fuck up when you’re primarily drawing from two influences like that
Beyoncé
4/5
reading all the reviews and they remind me of youtube comments a 13 year old who's really into nirvana might leave, but some of them are written by people in their 30s. the album is good
SZA
4/5
pretty funky and vibey, have to like that
Minor Threat
4/5
minor threat rocks
Santana
4/5
i don't think i could ever fully get into this from a vibes perspective but you have to appreciate how talented of a musician he is
Sister Sledge
4/5
nice and funky, gotta love it
Justin Timberlake
3/5
why is the minecraft villager noise on the first couple songs
Fats Domino
3/5
i dunno. this is exactly what i expected fats domino to sound like. what do you want from me
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
4/5
first listen it sounded like a bunch of bridge songs. like songs bridging to a different one, never quite reaching the emotional high promised. second listen i kinda got it more
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
cool electronica sounds
Bob Dylan
3/5
you gotta love blowing in the wind but i don't know about a whole album full of songs like that
Joan Armatrading
3/5
look i think the music is nice and sweet but i just can't get into it
Sebadoh
2/5
lou really needs j mascis unfortunately
The Pretty Things
3/5
i think i burned myself out on all the bad psychadelic rock in this book/series that i was elated at first listen because this album doesn't suck, but on second listen i came back down to earth
Black Sabbath
4/5
black sabbath rocks
The Smiths
5/5
morrissey they could never make me hate you
Stephen Stills
2/5
just too long man
3/5
my mood swings on this album a lot
Van Morrison
4/5
he cooks what can you say
Bob Dylan
4/5
if i had to have an electric dylan opinion, it's that i prefer when he's actually going somewhere with the music (blood on the tracks ex) instead of just playing folk but electric. cool songs though
Girls Against Boys
3/5
really hated the guy's voice. otherwise great album
Dire Straits
4/5
it's pretty cool. not much else to say
Afrika Bambaataa
3/5
one of those albums where i'm not sure if it's good because it influenced everything that came after it or if it's bad because all the stuff it influenced was so much better. also dude was a pedophile
Prince

4/5
all over the place stylistically but somehow still coherent. loved all the fart sounds
Green Day

4/5
rush rocks

Jefferson Airplane
3/5
the hits are awesome but the rest is wanky
Pulp
3/5
this guy needed to jack off before recording this

4/5
one of the top reviews is complaining about 80s synth music and i want to ask that guy why he has problems with things that rock
Pink Floyd
5/5
man this rocks
David Bowie

Cocteau Twins
4/5
as close as they can get to industrial dream pop... love the drum sound on here
Deee-Lite
3/5
maybe 1001 albums was a little too ambitious for the writers because i don' think this is one i needed to hear before i die. it's okay, but necessary, no

4/5
if you hate this album then fuck you
The Who

i like it because the who rock but the concept falls flat for me

rip the goat
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
bruce is the fuckin man baby
The Divine Comedy
4/5

Kate Bush
4/5
really weird on first listen but it does warm up to you... i'm sorry i ever doubted you queen
Elbow
2/5
sounds like every slow sad radiohead song but with annoying romantic alcoholism and a voice that is annoying but not in the thom yorke way where you eventually like it
Nina Simone
3/5
a bit haunting
Public Image Ltd.
4/5
love reading the reviews from people who took on this challenge but expected to find nothing challenging on the list. if you can't appreciate insane post punk i don't know what to tell you
Billie Holiday
3/5
no disrespect to billie but i just can't get into it
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
not his best but tom petty does indeed rock
The Verve
3/5
the tier below the stone roses and radiohead for me on british alt rock
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
i feel like a bad canadian cause i've never really gotten into neil young and this album is certainly not a good point to start because it's just him doing good but boring alt rock
R.E.M.
4/5
love rem but this one honestly aint their best
Sigur Rós
4/5
obviously very good but not the high highs of post rock that i like from gy!be and such
The Beau Brummels
3/5
theres too much psychadelic rock on this but this was okay even if it felt like it was a lute away from annoying ren fair music
Ozomatli
3/5
this sounds like a movie soundtrack where the characters have to leave america to meet a drug dealer who does all his business out in the open at some bar
Van Halen
3/5
it's van halen. turn the brain off and rock out. hell yeah
The Byrds
2/5
i will never get this band or why there's 300 of their albums on this list
Sabu
3/5
eh
Tim Buckley
4/5
i get that tim buckley is not everyone's bag and he definitely doesn't try to be but man if you really get past the initial shock there's so much good stuff here. he is so captivating and unique as an artist
The Cure
5/5
all the comments are like "wow the best goth rock album!!" but really it's genuinely one of the best albums of all time. don't limit yourself
Beatles
4/5
it's nice but i dont get the magic.
Julian Cope
3/5
weird. voice is somewhere between jim morrison and nick cave while hitting neither vibe. music is the worst and best of 90s alt rock simultaneously. all averages out to uhh average
Talking Heads
4/5
they're goated what can you say
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
damn thisbis good as fuck
Amy Winehouse
2/5
really an album i wanted to be over quickly
LL Cool J
2/5
i think the problem with a lot of early hip hop is that the genre advanced so fast and moved in such different directions that even five years between albums feels like the difference between the bronze age and the space age. so with that in mind, early stuff just sounds ancient and way behind everything else. however this doesn't even sound good compared to other albums released in 1990. how is this a classic when it sounds like ass compared to like straight outta compton which was released a full year earlier
Snoop Dogg
3/5
funky as hell but the rap aint nothing to write home about
Dire Straits
4/5
nodding disapprovingly when they use the slur to let people know that i don't approve of it
Neu!
4/5

enjoyable
Dead Kennedys

X-Ray Spex
3/5
4/5
u2 is pretty fuckin good even if bono sucks
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
i will never fully get jimi. im sure this sounded mind blowing in the 60s but i dunno about today and i can’t quite put myself in that mindset. best song is a bob dylan song so
John Martyn
4/5
nice and sweet, a little jazzy and crazy with it, what more do you really want
Solomon Burke
3/5
pretty good. what else needs to be said
Deep Purple
3/5
im sure this blew minds in the 60s but today it feels like a wanky prog album that has interesting moments here and there but fails to dwell on them
King Crimson
4/5
i think i would probably give it five if i gave it one more listen. how can you hate something that sounds this good
Brian Wilson
4/5
rest easy, goat
3/5
made no impact on me but it's alright
Fugees
4/5
the chinese restaurant skit was bad but the rest of it is pretty good
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
pretty good
Television
4/5
pretty goated sounding for a record from the 70s
CHIC
3/5
it was truly c'est chic
Muddy Waters
3/5
it's muddy waters at newpory in 1960. what more do you want
Adele
2/5
she's a good singer but an unfortunate product of the culture that a good voice is the only thing that makes music good
Beatles
3/5
certainly their weakest album
The Pharcyde
3/5
fun
Morrissey
3/5
moz they could never make me hate you but this album kinda sucked (its still good but not really)

3/5
not for me
Brian Eno
4/5
this is what airports should sound like

3/5
this white boy got soul!

Steely Dan
3/5
nice and chill but it doesn't connect with me
Missy Elliott
2/5
the production was nice but i thought the rapping was kinda lame
Tortoise
3/5
it's alright. it starts off so interesting but floats into the background
The Who
3/5
i like the who when they're more rocking
American Music Club
3/5
its alright but red house painters basicslly perfected the slowcore/acousticish alt rock sound so what’s the point
Frank Zappa
4/5
he cooked
Pixies
4/5
so so so close to a five to me if it didn't fall off on the back half
Thin Lizzy
3/5
its thin lizzy live
Willie Nelson
3/5
sad but nice
Leftfield
3/5
kind of a banger
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
some good tunes
Big Star
3/5
i didnt care for it the first time i listened to it but i guess i kinda calmed down now and think it's nice and sweet
Neil Young
3/5
i wish i could fulfill my patriotic duty and find the neil young album that makes him the undisputed goat of canadian music
Dagmar Krause
3/5
i think you can break down the 1001 albums like this
- obvious classics that would be weird if they weren't on the list
- influential but not big albums
- significant artists' entire discographies
- small samplings of significant genres/subgenres
- genuine oddball/left field shit that you would never possibly stumble across no matter how hard you tried
this album is obviously in the final category, and one of only three or four on this list that falls into that category. through reading other people's reviews, i find a lot of people who really thought this list was only going to be things that fell into the first category and turn their nose up whenever they get outside of that comfort zone. i think it kind of defeats the whole purpose of this exercise, why bother committing yourself to listen to 1001+ albums if you're just expecting to find more of things you already know and like
all this to say that this music is like a 7/10 for me. not my bag, not the best thing i ever heard, but not bad at all. however i would take it over the inexplicable 300 byrds or neil young albums on this list
The Velvet Underground
4/5
insanely damn good
Animal Collective
4/5
FOUR WALLS AND ADOBE SLATS FOR MY GIRLS
3/5
kind of a cool movie soundtrack type of album but not much more than that
Iron Maiden
4/5
a rare 80s maiden album that doesn't fully slap. but it still fuckin slaps

3/5
whatevs
