1001 Albums Summary

This was my first time listening to any of these songs, and this artist. I listened to the first 3 songs of the album driving, then the rest of it doing squats at the gym. I wasn't expecting his voice, but I thought it was nice. My favourite song was the second on the album 'In Shades', as it felt pretty immersive. Overall I thought it was okay. I didn't add any songs to any playlists, and not sure I will listen to it again. I think I need to get better at listening to albums as I was too hyperaware that I needed to think about how it was making me feel.

I have never listened to this group before. Listening conditions: lunch break walk on a sunny day to daily bread. Sitting outside with a small flat white and hazelnut pan au chocolate. Major background music vibes. I feel like this is the kind of music you only are super into if you have nostalgia attached to it, or if you grew up around this kind of music. It kinda reminds me of when you would be forced to listen to the various school bands do some random piece of music during an assembly.

I have listen to Radiohead music before. Listening conditions: First 4 songs driving to work, then the rest of it while making a coffee, and having my breakfast. The second song sounded a bit like a more rocky DnB/edm (I normally dislike drum and bass), which I really liked. All drum and bass should sound like that. "The Gloaming" sounded like popping candy goes off right in my ear gtfooooooo The second half of the album was more familiar radiohead to me. I thought I recognised a few songs but honestly idk. Overall enjoyable listening experience for me and I added a few songs to a playlist I listen to sometimes.

I have listened to Neil Young’s music before. Listening conditions: making and eating eggs in the morning, and driving to work. This is the second album in a row that including a song that had themes about sucking blood. I fear sol is trying to push an agenda here. This album was more of a sound I’m used to. I think because if I was multitasking for some of the songs I don’t really remember them too well, which I am sad about because I enjoyed all the songs I was actively listening to. I enjoyed the last song but left very confused at what it was about. My favourite song was the first one “Walk On”. I thought it was interesting how completely different the vibe of the first and last songs were. It probs has some deeper meaning but I refuse to look introspectively, or think to work it out. Side note: I wish there were was half stars in this cause this is a 3.5 for me (like the last one). I’m feeling happy so it’s getting a 4

I have listened to the Foo Fighters before, but not this album. Listening conditions: Driving to work for the first few songs. The rest gardening on a Saturday morning. Ngl all the songs kinda just merged together for me. Very background drown out the thoughts vibe. This is the only review I have written fully after I finished listening to the album, and that made me realise how forgettable every song was. I’m a little surprised because I have some Foo fighters songs on my playlists. I wish I could give it a 2.5. Feeeling annoyed to this shit is getting a 2

This is my first time listening to Creesence Clearwater Revival. Listening conditions: Leg day gym I really enjoyed the first part of the album. Maybe not the best suited for how I’m listening to it, but I really enjoyed Green River and Commotion. I don’t really have a detailed review. I saved this album because I enjoyed it a lot and will probably give it another listen when I’m feeling this vibe. 4.5 for me but I’m reserving the 5 for a real goodie

I have never listened to this artist before. Listening conditions: Leg day Ngl listening to these albums back to back while trying to do legs has been pretty tough. I don’t remember any of the songs on this album immediately after listening. When I did tune in I can’t say I was fully enjoying the album. I probably won’t listen to it again.

I have listened to some White Denim songs before, but this is my first time listening to this album. Listening conditions: Locking in and creating shareholder value This seems to be the classic case of I really like just one song from an album and the rest are okay. I have 'Sweet Joy' on my 'Need a sook' playlist, and have listened to to semi regularly since probably year 12 or sum shi. My next favourite song after 'Sweet Joy' is 'River to consider'. Made my brain feel good. I probably wont listen to the album in full again, but I will probably listen to two songs again which is a record.
