1001 Albums Summary

I accidentally listened to the wall because I wanted to watch the movie version to have my first listen. I then listened to this over the wizard of oz, which was fun. I don't entirely get the hype. It's good music. That's for sure. But it's also just a vague anti-government message that can seemingly be applied to any ideology.

Overall this album is just super clean. The drums, guitars, basses, keyboards, are just so coherent - it's like a conversation of instruments. It's soft at times, a little oldie, but always keeps pace enough to keep you engaged, while having vocals that are eccentric, poppy, and a bit punk, as well as a leeeetle krautrock in the psychedelic repetitive kind of way. Clearly an inspiration for the Strokes. Happy I looked them up. Gave me a little context on late 70's rock as it is transitioning and experimenting.

NGL I was bopping out about the first third of this album because it's kinda fun and the beats are good, if overdone at times as is typical of Kanye. But then you keep listening and it's just dumb, vaguely offensive, Jesusy drivel. There was one creative line in Family Business: African American Express It's also cheesy and like so dumb you have to know you're being dumb several times, which I didn't know was also true of his old stuff. Also cool how Work out for me by J Cole sampled this

ba humbug

Really fucking cool

dad rock that somehow everything sounds incredibly familiar also they were first to sign on to Woodstock sot hats cool

It's potatoes. A ton of different versions of a kinda similar emotion. Very evocative. Such a vibe. Also it's riotgrrl prove me wrong.

This is my dad's music. Always hated it, then I listened to it after a hard day of work and it soothed the shit out of my soul. I'm listening again as I write this.

Pretty nice vibes, but the recording was jumping all over in sound level

Enjoyable bluesey music

Extremely perfectly made. Harmonies are excellent. I see where the influence goes from fleetwood mac to thundercat.

I've listened a few times before. Tried to again, but each time this shit stresses me out so bad for some reason

The big name songs are hard to enjoy at this point but the in-between songs are actually quite enjoyable, if a little lackluster

Helps with feels

Catchy and memorable Continuity is not really there except like twice and it's not like incredible, except for incredibly heterosexual

Too long and somewhat anxiety inducing

Lovely. Someone died to preserve it.

Extremely relaxing and sentimental

Wow!

Listened to most. Not a lasting impression. Would need more from me and I'm not motivated.

Some absolute bangers. Very loser-coreo

Really soothing but the album is short and repetetive

It's a vibe. Goes hard a little bit sometimes in a "fuck everything" kind of way

I wouldnt go out of my way to listen, it feels made for radio, it is also extremely good and pleasurable

Already listened. I'm not insane over can but it's like good y'know

I used this as background music and it is good but not at all memorable

Had an Alanis phase last year. Re-listened to some of this. It's so cheesy but also so good and I love it.

Fine

Enjoyable funk. A bit one-note

Not the sound i was used to so not a good. Would need a free more listens

Stairway to Heaven is a masterpiece. The rest are fine.

It's nice but I felt little connection to it

fun classic rock. I've come to see this music as a trope and do not know how to rate it. Feels like I need more context.

it's good but most faded into the background for me

if this was made in the 80s I would be like "WOW THIS IS GOOD" but otherwise it is pretty mid and does not belong on this list

Pleasurable and head-boppable but beat is super basic and the rapping isn't like insane

I was honestly shocked at how calming and passionate this felt. Will be returning.

Heard it so many times. It's a dream pop classic, but I honestly am bored of it now.
