1001 Albums Summary

Portions of it were mostly fine.

Nortec did it better.

Bruce Springsteen is one of the all-time greats. This one in particular is filled with absolute gems.

Beautiful.

It has its good/great/excellent moments. It has many of them.

It is quite great, almost excellent.

It sounds like the music I listened to when I was 14. I do not know if that's a good or a bad thing.

Not for me.

It starts beautifully, then it doesn't amount to much.

The beauty of this one is high up there.

Not for me.

In Bloom and Something in the Way are maybe the best songs Nirvana ever wrote. But overall, there's too much screaming for my linking.

It's almost very good, great start and end. Kind of weak in the middle.

I have never been a big fan, or any size of fan, of whatever that was.

Meh.

It's just okay.

Not this one.

Fantastic.

Few have done it better than Johnny Cash.

It's just nonstop hits one right after the other for the first half, then it fizzles a little bit.

No, not really.

I don't think I had ever listened to something like this. It was marvelous.

Mostly fun.

Dancey, groovy, fun.

I guess it's fine. Not really my style.

Yeah. I'm gonna go ahead and skip this one. UPDATE: I went back and listened to it. So, so boring.

I didn't know what to expect with the Diane Arbus-ish cover. What a great surprise this was.

Love this one.

It's good. But not really my style.

What's not to love about Brit-pop? Even more accurate, what's not to love about early 90's Brit-pop?

I like Lou Reed, he's fine. But there's something that stops me from being a fan. This album is mostly good.

I really liked it but I'm note really sure of why.

It's not bad. However this style and time are not for me.

It has some very interesting songs. I don't necessarily like it as an album.

It's mostly okay.

Hooked from the get go. Love this one.

They're trying too hard to be New Order. But they are perhaps better than Happy Mondays.

Yeah, not really.

I enjoyed listening to this one, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

Unlike my cousin Oscar, I'm not such a fan of Queen.

Almost okay.

Kind of okay.

Yep.

Yep.

Not really my style.

A little bit like Mano Negra, but they were better.

Gotta love outlaw country.

This is something else. Wonderful.

I understand what was going on. But the gap between New Order and The Chemical Brothers was not filled by 808 State. However, I do recognize their importance.

It was just okay.

Sure, I guess why not.

I'm glad country evolved. But this is definitely a good foundation stone.

Meh.

Fantastic.

Nice. But not for me.

Paul Simon is comfort.

This was good.

It's good.

Something else.

I like it. But not so much as to save it.

Beautiful surprise.

What a master piece.

I guess I didn't know I was a Tom Waits fan.

Some interesting stuff. But not really.

Well, this certainly was better than I had expected. But there's a reason why that kind of music only lasted for a few years.

Better that I expected. Nice surprise.

Love this one.

Beautiful.

It's okay.

Fantastic.

It's fine, mostly fine.

Absolutely fine.

What's not to love about Sonic Youth?

It's okay.

good enough.

Not for me. But I do appreciate it.

Beautiful.

Fun.

Adore this one.

What in the bore me to dead was this.

Very good.

It's fine.

Not quite. But not bad.

From the cover I was expecting some prog stuff. I was definitely not ready for what it actually is. What a thing of beauty.

Good enough.

They were onto something.

I've some Dusty Springfield's songs before, but this is something else.

It's okay.

Fun.

Surprising.

Another gem.

It's okay.

It's fine. But done better many times before and since.

Good enough.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Fantastic.

Fun.

Mostly okay.

Meh.

*chef's kiss*

Meh.

Quite good.

Fun.

Meh.

Great.

It's okay.

Fun.

Great.

As it started I didn't care much for it, but it kept on growing on me.

It's okay.

Amazing.

A couple of great songs, but not a whole album.

Fun.

Wilco is one my favourites.

Good enough.

Alright, alright.

Fun.

All time tops.

Not a big fan of old school country, but it's a fine album.

Even with Morrissey being the way that he is, this is one fine piece of work.

Good enough.

Very, very, French.

As usual, beautiful.

I don't get the love. It's not bad, but it's nothing that wasn't already done many times before.

I'm starting to get The Doors a little bit more after not liking them for so long.

So much fun.

Quite interesting. I prefer Peter Gabriel's subsequent albums, but this one is a fine listen.

Not really my style. But it was a good listen.

Too jazzy for me. But not bad.

So much fun.

Good surprise.

Great.

This is a work of beauty.

Not for me.

Very fun.

Nope.

It's a good listen.

Liked parts of it.

Fun.

This is something else.

Excellent.

I was ready to hate it. What a surprise this was for me.

Fun.

It has a handful of good songs.

Enjoyable. But not really memorable.

Beautiful.

It starts with everything it has. Then it’s a string of hits and misses.

Very fun.

You can really tell how this sound was constant in much of Pink Floyd's post-Barrett era. But they needed time to refine it. Good listen overall.

Mostly fine.

Always beautiful.

This is something else.

I almost liked it.

What a jewel.

Meh.

I first listened to Spiritualized in my teens. It was actually this very record. I hated it. I was so bored. I never gave them another chance. What a difference time makes.

Meh.

Good fun.

I don't think I understand it.

This is a good one.

The biggest meh.

Good enough

Almost there.

Nice.

So close.

I knew some of The Avalanches, but I've never devoted the time to listen to a full album. What a magnificent surprise.

Meh.

This is the exact album that seemingly all restaurants in México played between 2001 and 2005, probably later. And for a reason. It's background music, nothing more.

Dark-ish, but the fun kind of dark.

Not much of a Bod Bylan fan, but there's something here.

It's certainly fun.

This I like.

Fun.

Jewel.

This is quite good. Shame they suck live.

This is one of my favourites.

Okay.

Meh.

Solid.

Meh.

Not at his best, but a good listen regardless.

I really liked this one when it came out. Now, during this relisten, I was so bored.

Several good/great songs, but not necessarily a good/great album.

Weird and fun. But probably not weird enough.

Yes.

I usually like loud and weird, but this is not getting it done.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Lovely.

It's okay.

Fun. But not great.

Not their best. But not bad.

It's okay.

Good enough.

It's a constant hit and miss. Not a solid album.

Meh.

Fantastic.

The right kind of noisy.

Fun.

Fun.

Almost there.

Noisy. Okay.

So fun.

I can keep on happily living without ever listening to The Specials again.

So close. Very good.

Meh.

Meh.

It's okay.

There comes a point, and we arrive quite quickly to it, when all brit-pop sounds exactly the same. This is not necessarily a bad album; it's just one more.

Meh.

Yep.

A thing of beauty.

Good enough, but it's hard to be Fleetwood Mac and have to improve on Rumours.

“I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always ‘The Red Hot Chili Peppers.’”

Meh. Done many times before.

Fun listen.

Fun.

A couple of good songs, but not a good album.

This was peak U2 and yes, it has some good songs, but is it a great album? It's dull and soulless for a good stretch there.

Pretty.

Good surprise.

Beautiful.

It’s fun. Very fun.

It’s okay.

I don’t get the love for Christmas music.

Fun.

It's okay.

Fun.

So fun.

I don’t see it.

Not my thing.

It’s fine. Nothing more than that.

It’s fun.

Good for movies about class struggles and sinking ships. Also good for dancing cartoons. But not for me.

This was a great listen, punky enough.

Some good songs here and there. Not a great album.

Great. But it lacks Johnny Marr.

Huh?

Dancey, fun, great all around.

There's something about The Who that I don't get. It's not that I don't like them, but every time I've gotten an album in this project it annoys me that I have to listen to it (I know I don't really *have* to listen to it). I always push through, and they're not bad, but I still can't shake that annoying feeling.

Fantastic.

Pretty great.

This is a party I would want to go to.

It’s just fine.

What a beauty.

A few great songs here and there. Might have to listen to it again.

Yeah. Not for me.

I had been a while since I last listens to this one. What a classic, and for good reason.

So much fun. Solid from beginning to end. This is a great listen.

A handful of good songs, not really a good album.

Not a dull moment.

Almost there. I like it in general, but I'm not sure if I need to listen to it again.

There is only so much bluegrass a person can listen to in a day, and this album pretty much triples that amount. Not for me.

Folky, rocky, good enough. But maybe not really a great album.

Weird, noisy (in the right way), warm. All good with this one.

This is the good stuff.

Another great one from Tom Waits.

This is the kind of album you simply sit down and enjoy. What a beauty.

Not a bad listen, but not for me.

What is it that I'm not getting? Why so much love for The Who?

Fun, for sure.

I understand the importance of Kraftwerk to music. I'm happy many others took it from them and massively improve electric music and its many subgenres, and many, many others. That said, Krafwerk is not for me.

it's always a fun listen.

This was a great surprise.

A few good party songs here and there. Not a great album.

It's mostly fine.

So close.

Fun, dancey, good all around.
