1001 Albums Summary

enjoyed more than I expected incredible storytelling and blend of sounds two title tracks were possibly my favourites

not my cup of tea really can appreciate the poetry of it, but the slowness doesn’t do it for me 3/4 out of 10

enjoyed!! not my fave Bowie but I liked the title track a lot and TVC15- would happily listen again and see if the others grow on me prob more of a 3.5- 6/7 out of 10

liked the opening track, the rest of the album was pleasant too not sure if I would actively listen to again 6/10 or perhaps 5

not bad- but to me, nothing particularly special? I liked the swampy rock sounds and it was a pleasant listen but not much more than that 2.5ish, 5/10

didn’t click for me immediately 6/10

brimming with bangers! obligatory hate for phil spector

fine, but equally totally forgettable 3/10

some instant bangers and others that could defo be growers!! really satisfying harmonies and catchy lyrics 8/9 out of 10

surprisingly enjoyed?! maybe I’m being generous since this is my first generated britpop album (of which I hear there are MANY) but I really liked the ‘patchwork’ influences and sounds on this album, I can definitely see myself returning to it solid 8/10, could become a 9

some solid tunes that I will definitely return to!! George had such a gorgeous voice 8/10

unsurprisingly enjoyed!! perhaps a bit too long but I would listen again - jungle, across the border and obvs mr blue sky as highlights 8 out of 10

fine, I see the vision but it didn’t grab me immediately. apart from wondering how much Chrissie Hynde influenced Florence Welch 6/10

better than their other one but still not particularly my cup of tea 3.5 (7 out of 10)

I would be denying my true self if I didn’t give this 5 stars: the album that defined pop music in the 2010’s, and massively shaped my listening taste. I remember my dad getting me the deluxe edition from HMV on release day, and being instantly obsessed on first listen. Clean, Style, and Out of the Woods are some of my all time Swift songs. Honestly it’s a shame the TV album fumbles some of the production so hard- I’ll always keep coming back to the OG. 10 out of fuckin 10

First three tracks are a generational run, and completely justify the album’s inclusion… sadly the rest is mostly forgettable bubblegum pop 5 out of 10

stand in the place where yo- 5/10 (may revisit)

so forgettable and that’s not what a good rock album should be… and that born to be wild cover honestly sucked 2.5/10

a very long album that only became a little boring in the last 20 mins or so.. enjoyed the album overall and the diverse mix of sounds and genres 8 out of 10

surprised - first three tracks are great 8 out of 10

I thought I would enjoy this more!! Title track is obviously great but most of it I could pass on 6 out of 10

listened on a rail replacement bus and hoped that each song would be the last…. 1.5 stars, prob only 2 out of 10 though

well, yes!

thoroughly enjoyed / appreciated / ??? Kinda freaky but layered and interesting to delve into- all the fiddle haters can fuck off

Like talking heads if talking heads were just shit

post punk is not for me

Fine! My biggest takeaway was learning that they did the hurt song

a couple of songs I really liked but I loathed gimme the car… eek

Very forgettable

perfectly fine country album

it was alright- first encounter with the smiths and was expecting much worse, drearier I think.. but this was better than I thought. nothing I’ll be rushing to go back to though

enjoyed a lot!! red rain is stunning and prob the standout for me on first listen- although I’m always happy to hear Kate Bush too..! also we love animation therefore a kiss for sledgehammer

not at all pleasurable actually!! 3/10

loved this one- helps that I listened to it a few weeks ago for the first time though. the sprawl is great, silver rocket, total trash, will be in rotation

I enjoyed the first few songs quite a lot! IMO it trailed out a little towards the end, but still an enjoyable listen

fine- I don’t mind his voice and I liked the softness of the music, quite relaxing

5/10

irredeemable. an hour of pure shit- the track with Fred durst being rock bottom. if I ever hear anyone calling themselves a korn fan I will forever doubt their taste and brain

solid and enjoyable disco music, well crafted and pretty gorgeous. 3.5 or 7/10

shout out to the person who posted about this on Reddit the same day I had it generated Really solid live album although not as iconique as Folsom

Boringgggg

fine - teenage kicks put it up a notch

Didn’t blow me away but enjoyed some songs

Three fantastic songs, the rest is fine. It’s not really my taste to be honest, but I can appreciate the beauty and emotion of her voice

so boring oh god

would return for a few but primarily the hits

love it let’s go

enjoyed a lot, especially the first track

echoing lots of other reviewers, how is this the only Petty album on here? criminal tbf early, and clearly rough and ready, but with so many gems - ending with American Girl is such a flex, but Breakfown is also a masterpiece and I loveeee Anything That’s Rock n Roll and The Wild One, forever, two of my all time faves

don’t mind Neil but this was too long
