1001 Albums Summary

A few really interesting songs. Just felt a bit lacking overall.

Very nice ambience, and interesting sound scapes. Feel like the album didn't really go anywhere though. Would have liked to see a bit more variation in the formula.

What's to say? It's Lorde... She only gets better with age. AND THIS album shows her maturity from Pure Heroine. A true artist, always growing. She has reached the top and will influence generations to come. A truly complete pop album with just the right fusion of other genres to keep the instrumentals fresh for new comers and the trained ear alike. Very Realized, intentional, and tastey. 4.5 - 5

I like orange juice. I hate Orange Juice. Fermented, off putting, and pulpless. It was a drag to get through.

I want to put words on this, but they're hard to place. Illinois (iLLi-noise)' by Sufjan Stevens, is a sonic journey - music the way it's supposed to be: puttting physical substance on metaphysical emotions that no arrangement of statements alone can express. I don't give perfect 5's, but this is as close as it gets. 4.9 out of 5

If you've heard 90s hip hop, nothing will suprise you here. Hard to be blown away by a sound that was copied over and over again for way too many years. That being said... it's Nas, and if I was listening to this 20+ years ago it'd be one of my favorite albums out. A must listen for any hip-hop fan. 4.5 out of 5

Solid album. Nothing stands out, no crazy message, just nice "good-time" music. I'd listen again, and I couldn't see myself skipping any of the songs if they came on, but I also couldn't see myself seeking their music out. 3.5 out of 5

Do you like EDM? Do you like beautiful composition? Do you like spicey bass lines? This shit is candy for your ears!!!!!!!!! First time hearing this group, but it won't be my last. Do yourself a favor and start listening to good music. You're welcome. 4.9 out of 5

This shit is trash. Always has been trash, always will be trash. How about they go extinct instead of Bald Eagles? please and thanks. I ALSO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO BURN THIS CD AND GIVE IT TO YOUR FAVORITE BOOMER FOR FREE. 0 out of 5

I hated this for the most part. Really pulling for Richard to get out of this situation. It's not worth it Richard, it never is. Some good moments for sure, but overall it doesn't really take me anywhere. It is an album about male opression afterall, so I guess that's the point. At least all the instruments are real. 2.5 out of 5

Very pretentious bullshit. Good thing I like pretentious bullshit. Shoutout to heroin. 4 out of 5

This album is insanely good. Every song feels well thought out and intentionally composed, each instrument coming in at just the right time, with the perfect melodies and rythmic structures. The emotional push and pulls, the heavy ups and downs, are like a rollercoaster specifically designed by Elliott to me make you feel butterflies and bricks from your head to your dicks. (Or whatever else you have going on down there). A must listen for people who want to feel, or need to find something they're not quite ready to actually find yet. It is a hauntingly satisfying album, and I can't wait to hear more. RIP Elliott, thanks for leaving some of your soul behind. 4.9 out of 5

It was good.. but it felt like it was going everywhere and nowhere all at once.

I suppose I cant keep skipping out on these. Horrible stuff. If your playlists consist of 311, Blink-182, The Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Breaking Benjamin, etc etc., then I'm sure you love this too. .05 - 5

I have to be honest—I didn’t enjoy this album much at all. The guitar tone was, for the most part, pretty disappointing. I get that the distortion was meant to convey emotion, but it lacked any real texture; it just felt flat. The mix was also pretty bad. I know it was the ‘80s, and home studios weren’t what they are today, but I’ve heard plenty of ‘80s projects that sound way better. Even the composition didn’t do it for me. Maybe Surfer Rosa spoiled me with its whole distorted garage music vibe. Also, a lot of the endings had weak fade-outs or just awful guitar outros, showing they didn’t know how to end a song properly. This band is all junior and no dinosaur. Rating: 2/5

Its Jeff.... one of the best when it comes to song composition. If you aren't studying/analyzing his songs, you most definitely should be. And his voice is just insane. No decimals taken off for this one.. Probably as close as youre going to get to perfection as far as an albums concerned. The sound, flow, composition, and overall vision are off the charts. 5 out of 5

Not much to say on this one. It isn't bad just way too repetitive for me. I also feel like the tracks could have been arranged better to give a more balanced listen rather than every track just building up from the last.. 2.5 out of 5 with bankers rounding.
