1001 Albums Summary

All songs have the same style (unsurprisingly) so got a little repetitive but still really enjoyed it as a Christmas listen. Wouldn't put it on any other time of the year

No known "hits" but a solid album front to back. Highlights for me were The Cross and Adore

Great arrangements. Voice reminded me of the zombies or Belle and Sebastian. Really liked this album!

All about love was way too self indulgent. Strong bass playing throughout

That lady, cool synths. Some interesting covers. Highways of my life and that lady were the best tracks. Overall, it was ok.

Own it. Solid but I prefer are you experienced

Bit too 80s sounding at times but overall a fantastic album. Recognized most of the songs, but didn't know they were all from one album.

God help me, I listened to a fair bit of this album. I just don't like his voice. Some of the instrumental aspects were quite nice though like the piano on better off without a wife

This album checks a lot of 80s music boxes in terms of instrumentation. Vocals are all the same. To me, a forgettable album. It's not bad, just boring. No idea why it's on this list.

An alright album. Highlights are yellow and trouble obviously. No other tracks really lept out at me though. Probably wouldn't listen to it again

Aside from self esteem and come out and play I really liked it'll be a long time. A solid album if a bit repetitive but that's just their style so no points deducted.

Spanish, salsa, disco, funk album. Not my thing but they do play well together

Own it, love it

Not a bad album but pretty boring. Background music at best, though not sure what situation I'd put this on in the background

Everybody's talking was a highlight. Had never heard the original before, only Nilson's version. Other than this though, the album was just ok. Lyrics and instrumentation didn't do much for me

Better than I thought. Had a very 70s feel to it

Sad bastard music but it's done well for sure. Say yes and pictures of me were highlights. Overall a good album but one I'm unlikely to revisit

Electronic duo from Scotland, who knew? The music was interesting but I did find the beats a bit repetitive.

A combination of metal and punk. Really didn't like how the singer pronounced reignition. Not my thing but there's definitely talent there musically, less so lyrically and vocally

Fun album

A good cohesive album. No stand out tracks

Own it. Still an awesome album

Great album. I remember when it came out. Still holds up

The squeaking noises ruined my experience. Why is it in every song?! I honestly enjoyed a lot of the songs but that noise was beyond distracting. The album would have been so much better without this

Not really my thing but good for what it is

Such a cool and diverse album. Really should have listened to it sooner! Andre took more chances musically but big boi was more consistent.

Booooooooriiiiiiing adult contemporary jazz. Sorry Paul Weller

I respect the vocal talent but this was definitely not for me

Tried, still find crooning really boring

Really enjoyed this. Some pretty catchy aspects I wasn't expecting.

I don't listen to Nazis

Heard it before. A very solid album that I still enjoyed very much

Pretty cool album. Can hear where some of the future brit pop sound was coming in.

Some interesting choices. I like mixes of languages. I think one song was portuguese?

Great album

Electronic music. Predominantly instrumental.

Classic, no filler. What a debut!

A pretty interesting album. Felt in some ways like a precursor to the Brian Jonestown massacre.

So repetitive

Some nice orchestral arrangements. Couple decent songs but nothing amazing

Some interesting songs and harmonies.

This is the most 1989 sounding record.

Cool album Another love song was a standout. Some interesting harmonies too

Blue condition was an interesting one in addition to the classic tracks on this album

Toxic relationship concept album based on her own life. So basically it's classic old country. I enjoyed this album lyrically and of course the vocals are great.

Classic Bon Scott AC/DC

Fitting for Valentine's day. A soulful album about kissing and fucking. I loved it! What a voice and the album has such a cool vibe. Maybe I'll put it on if I ever get another date ha!

Solid album. Cool jangly Guitars and harmonies

Soundtracks aren't really my thing but this did have a cool 70s feel

An eclectic collection of songs. Doesn't touch rumours but still interesting. To me, no stand out songs but still good

Pretty cool album sonically speaking. Felt like if the stooges and early led zeppelin had a baby. Lyrically and vocally it had great attitude but wasn't very catchy. Still enjoyed it

3 known tracks just a gigolo/I ain't got nobody, jump jive an wail and night train (enchantment under the sea dance ha!) . A fun album. Swing, big band and jazz influences.

Exactly what I expected. Janis is powerful on vocals. Some cool guitar tones as well. Liked at the end when you can hear the promoter talking about upcoming shows with The Who, electric prunes, grateful dead etc

Easiest 5 star yet

Still an awesome, fun album High energy, fast, catchy rock n roll

To me a pretty typical indie record from the 2000s. It was middle of the road to me. There's definitely better indie records from that era.

Classic Metallica! Easy 5 stars here. One of my favourite albums with so many absolute bangers. Nothing else matters is my favorite track

Thought this would be uninteresting but I enjoyed it. Such unique vocals. I'd only ever heard insane in the brain before this.

Why was the last track, I dream a highway, over 14 minutes?! Honestly, cut 10 minutes off and you're good. The album had an overall good feel though. Country/folk. Put this on on a summer eve on the porch with a drink while hanging out with friends.

Her voice is a bit much for me. Too much vibrato. I did enjoy a couple songs though

So many classic songs.

An interesting album. Some cool grooves and arrangements.

Spacey, electronic soundscapes. Minimalist vocals. Not really catchy or anything but had an interesting vibe. She's so had a jazzy, pink floyd style feel I liked

Some songs I knew but didn't know they were on this album like one step closer and crawling. In the end is the obvious highlight though. A pretty sklid album especially if you're into this style of music!

The 3 best songs were selected as singles for sure. Rest of the album was still good though. Aggressive bass playing!

Classic album, don't even need to listen to it. Definitely see where zeppelin got some early influences. Plus page and beck were friends

Some pretty eclectic influences. I enjoyed it!

Fun album. Always cool to hear Guitars in rap music

Easy 5 star. Wall to wall bangers. An absolute classic!!

Great album. Nice to hear it again, it's been a while. Lots of variety too.

Cool feel but didn't blow me away or anything

Cool delivery on the vocals. I liked the style. My favorite track by then is let's push things forward but that's not on this album. Anyway, interesting album

It was alright. Songs were a bit long

This album was pretty middle of the road. I enjoy Clapton but this was nothing special. Let it grow is my favorite track here.

Still a great album! I remember my brother buying this when it came out. Scar tissue was part of the soundtrack of my summer that year. Really fond memories

Classic album. Saw them last year. Fight test is my favorite track

This was a decent album with some cool ideas. Didn't blow me away or anything. Rip it up and I can't help myself were probably my favorite tracks

Own it, great album!

Decent album. Pretty classic Morrissey sound. I enjoyed it. You're the one for me fatty lol. Seasick yet still docked was a highlight

A really fun upbeat album. Lots of catchy songs. Would definitely listen to it again!

Takes me back. So many great songs. The final instrumental track is my favorite but I like guiding star, the concept and what you do to me a lot as well

Great album I've heard many times. Devil's haircut was the first beck song that really grabbed when I was a teenager

Kind of a surf, punk album with little hints of rockabilly. Liked the cover of fever. Cool album!

I did not like this

Aside from changes this was just a middle of the road album. None of the other tracks really jumped out at me.

This album did nothing for me. Completely forgettable

It's no transformer but was still an interesting listen, especially kids. Sad song was decent too

Sunday shining I remember from when this album came out. Best track on the album by far. The rest was nothing special.

A lot of hits on this album. My favorite is it's too late. Really solid album!

Exactly what I would have expected a sisters of mercy album to sound like. But no temple of love? Denied!

Really leaned into the rapid electronic drum beats. So repetitive though. Not for me at all. State of mind was pretty good. Overall, really not my taste at all. The songs were so long too. If you've heard one song on this album, you've basically heard the whole album.

Vocals reminded me of Thom Yorke at times. A couple decent songs but not my jam for the most part

A decent album no doubt. Higher ground is the obvious highlight.

Tiny dancer, then Levon. What a way to start a album. Enjoyed this very much

Thank you for sending me an angel is so good. Great album

I'm a simple man. I get a Beatles album, I give it 5 stars

Boring ambient electronic album

Killer album, one of my all time favourites. My only qualm is I wish underture was shorter.

Was expecting better having heard about this album before and loving the stooges. I prefer Bowie's version of China girl. Didn't really do much for me one way or the other.

Sweet dreams was the best track. Annie Lennon's vocals are incredible.

Still a killer! Hard to believe it came out 24 years ago!

Not really my style but she was definitely talented!

Kind of a flaming lips feel at times. Enjoyed most of this album

Title track is still a banger! That cereal song was a bizarre choice. Overall, nit bad but didn't do much for me.

Where the Beatles started to really shine as artists. An unbelievably solid album.

Something 4 the weekend was a highlight. Most songs had a fun vibe. Some went on a little long with noise though. Better than the previous album I listened to by them

Wasn't really my thing but had some decent beats here and there

Solid, lots of great songs. Didn't realize they were all on one album

Still a cool album. So unique for its time

Pretty solid album. Some really good lyrics too. This year's girl "you want her broken with her mouth wide open" wow, what a line. Tragic

Fun album.

Catchy pop album

Pretty solid overall. Stupid girl and only happens when it rains. What a debut

I know this was a big influence for sampling in the hip hop community which is cool. The album wasn't for me though

Carey and this flight tonight were highlights. A case of you deserves an honourable mention. Not really the sort of thing I'd put on of my own accord but this for what it is.

Jazz isn't my thing but this album had a cool vibe

Takes me back! So many great songs

Definitely a Leonard Cohen album. I'm a fan. So long, Marianne was my favourite

A few good songs. Never got super into them though. Crown of love is my favourite song on this album

Not as good as are you experienced or electric lady land but solid

Cool album especially silent all these years. Not an album I'm likely to listen to again but had a cool vibe

Connected is still such a great track. Rest of the album didn't do much for me though

Surely there are 1001 better albums than this

Staralfur was good but was a bit much to listen to the whole album of this style

Cool album. Some prog rock, blues, straight pop. Really enjoyed it! Solsbury hill and here comes the flood were highlights

Kool thing awesome! Album did drag on a bit though

I enjoyed this! Cool vibes, powerful bass grooves.

I can respect the talent but this wasn't for me

Always forget how awesome crowded house are!

Easy 5 star

Never heard of them which is weird because they're just as good as any other bands in this style of the tone

Some interesting trippy instrumental aspects. Vocals mostly lost me

Easy 5 star

It was ok. Not really my thing

Sounds like Bjork

5 stars fer sher

Cool vibe. Enjoyed this

I don't like this kind of music unfortunately

What a voice. Solid live performance by all involved

5 stars. Love them. Hits the spot on a day like today. RIP Brian Wilson

First song I liked. Got repetitive after that

The title track and what's love for to do with it are amazing but the rest was unremarkable

Good performances, everything was too similar. Forgot about his song being in a Salsa or Taco kit commercial back years ago

Great lyrics. Cool album. Can't believe I've never listened to it before

Work it and gossip folks are so good. The rest didn't do much for me

Some pretty good vocals for sure. Without you is such a great cover

So many amazing songs here!

Don't know about that jet song but the rest was great!

I still don't get crooning

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Shame they're thought of as a one hit wonder
