1001 Albums Summary

Such a beautiful and perfect album. Excellent start.

So crunchy. Great album.

Meh. This didn't really boil my potatoes. It's fine. Just... fine. Some songs hit different but mainly... No.

I literally just bought this on vinyl. Love it. Lot more noodling than I remember but has some of my fave Beastie songs so we're good.

Good background music. Not sure I'd seek it out but weirdly this was maybe the first time I ever heard them? Even though they're so famous. Outside of Anchorman or karaoke. It's ok.

Surprisingly had not listened to this in full. Bangers from one of entertainment's biggest monsters.

Honestly it was on in the background during manual work and I didn't really give a shit to hear it. Not my cuppa.

Glad it's only 37 minutes long. But even then still couldn't get through it. Sure, some ok songs. But his voice doesn't do anything for me. No thanks.

Full of hits. Sounds like high school. Not too shabby.

Surprised me with how cosy it felt. Probably because I love Beastie Boys and now I'm hearing where they got... A lot... From...😬 Some real stinkers though. Dumb Girl is one of the stupidest songs I've ever heard.

Nope

The Beth Hirsch songs! So beautiful. But they're not all winners. Not especially compelling or more than background noise. I did skip Kelly Watch the Stars as it wasn’t working for me.

My favourite guitarist’s favourite band. Enjoyable. Though it was only on in the background.

Pleasant but not for me

Banger after banger

Pleasant.

At first I was like... Oh hell no... Then as it kept playing... I felt so fancy! Like I was at a cocktail party with Homer Simpson. Or trapped in a loft with Mr Big. Less fancy. Songs very long. I did get a little sick of it...

Oh God... I hate this. Sounds like Milli Vanilli but much much worse. And that's their voice. So no excuse.

It's so beautiful.

Ain't nothing wrong with the Cure!

Eh

An unprecedented A+++ love love love

Elvis is a bloody delight

Was ok but I fell asleep listening to it. That may be more about me than Alice.

Eh

This album was one I grew up with. My parents listened to it together when they were dating some 50-odd years back so we had two copies of it. My primary school teacher, Mr Woods, used to get us to sing the Boxer during music class. He changed the words. Up until I was about 40 I thought he was getting come ons from the "wars" on 7th Avenue. Never made sense at the time. When I realised... Last year as my father passed away, Bridge Over Troubled Water was the song that was playing as he took his last breath. I can't say anything bad about the album. It's too prominent an album in my life.

Admittedly pretty iconic.

Like when you're tired and think a sleep playlist on Spotify might work. Very mild. Too long of an album to actually commit to sitting through it.

Remember when Sylvester Stallone sang Tutti Fruitti in Rhinestone? Great movie.

Enjoyed it immensely. Some songs more than others by a lot though. Overall more good than bad. Some over-noodling got tiresome. Would have given a half star extra if I could.

They know they're not harmonising in tune right? Feels a lot earlier than 1999 which I guess makes this feel a little.... Stale. Sounds like a high school band who got to record a demo as part of a competition. No bueno.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. So many bangers! But the version that'll remain to be my favourite is still Nelson Muntz. I am iron man. Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo vote for me.

Overall pretty enjoyable. Couple of sucky songs but hard to find albums without sometimes.

I think I'm a traitor to my generation as I have never cared for sonic youth. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was gonna give it some props for sounding ahead of its time. But then I realised I misread the year and it's 1993 not 1983. So... I didn't really have anything positive to say....it's very easy to ignore?

Liked a lot of it but it was a lot to consume in one sitting. And some songs sound like flight of the concord parodies.

Um.... wow i really like this. Yeehaw.

I mean, it's the fucking Who ya know? We'd have no Pearl Jam without.

pleasant enough. wish it had .5 ratings.

One of my all time favourite albums. Perfection.

I love nick cave and all but honestly a lot of this was just noise. Good noise...in a way... But not what I feel like listening to.... Soz nick

Well this is fun!

Very compelling.

Sounds like a pixar movie. Also straining trumpets sounds like squeaky farts. So... Pleasant but jazz just ain't my thing.

It's ok. Very easy to ignore. Which is... A good thing and a bad thing I guess.

First song was a very calming. Enjoyed it. Nothing to rave about sure but how much is on one listen..

Fucking Debbie Harry ya know.

Exquisite

I could be watching re-runs of M*A*S*H instead of listening to this.

Talk about your iconic albums! Insulting to him that he came after Mj Cole on my list... a bit droney and samey sounding but still so great.

One of my absolute favourite albums. No notes. We Float is perfection. The Whores Hustle and the Hustlers Whore remains one of the most exquisite live experiences of my life. Just pure love.

Absolutely no chance in hell I am listening to 3 hours. I am judging a book by its cover. No. It sounds like when you leave a DVD menu running and it keeps playing on a loop.

iconic.

Well I'll be damned.

Bro was a creep. But cool songs I guess.

It’s ok. I got sick of it quite quickly.

One of the worst intros ever. So irritating. But leads in to pure gold. Little Wing is one of the best.

Love it. This thing should let me give half points though. To bump up (this) or bump down (a lot).

I've never really listened to him outside of a song here or there, but this was delightful. Reminds me of dramatic Finn Andrews (Veils)

swoon...

Never owned it but my brother had a dubbed cassette tape so I was well aware of this album in my youth. It's only vaguely familiar now some 30 years later. Not much of it stuck apart from the singles and of course, All By Myself.

RIP Ozzy! And what a stunner of an album.

I do enjoy Rufus though aware he is pretentious AF sometimes. I loved Want One - has my fave RW song on it... so Want Two was always a teeny bit disappointing in comparison, but it's a good album.

Yeah... this isn't for me. It's.. kinda gross. So... ... .. no. The longer it goes on the more I hate it.

Eh.

The Wall has been one of my favourite albums for a long long time. I haven't listened to it in a minute though so nice to have a prompt to.

Eric Clapton is scum but this is good. Reminds me a bit of QOTSA (speaking of scum?)

It's fine. Just fine.
