1001 Albums Summary

I’ve heard this album before and really enjoyed it. First time listening on my new headphones though and being able to hear more of the intricacies and more oomph with the base felt like listening to it for the very first time. Halftime stood out to me on this listen as my favorite.

Not my genre of music but I liked it for what it is. Probably a one and done listen. I can’t pinpoint any exact criticisms but I can’t see how this could be named the 6th greatest album of all time.

Didn’t expect to recognize Somebody to Love. The production on this so far is really cool & groovy. Damn, Today is romantic as hell, first save off the album. Really enjoyed this one!

Started off really strong and I was thinking I’d rate it a 4, but it kinda lost its momentum towards the end for me. Though it was an awesome album to listen to with snowfall outside.

I was really excited when I saw this come up bc I know of the one song from the Harry Potter movie. But this album didn’t jump out to me in any special way. A lot of the songs sounded the same to me.

Not the sound I was expecting AT ALL. It doesn’t feel like a “rock” album until Medication. Burning Wheel as the opener had my mouth agape. Crazy soundscape, I was transported to a semi-psychedelic world.

This was so fun!

Didn’t expect to be giving a Frank Sinatra album 2 stars but it was just such a slog to get through. Every song sounded the same to me

Kinda reminded me of Dave Matthews Band but more easy-listening. Nice and calming but didn’t have anything special to bump up the rating.

This album kinda proved to me that I’m just not a fan of psychedelic rock music like this. There were a few tracks here and there that I liked, like Fancy and Sunny Afternoon. Loved the horn on Dead End Street. But I know for I fact I won’t listen to this album again, thus a 2.

Strong 4. That was an awesome ride

Second Talking Heads album in a row! I prefer Remain in Light but this is just as good. Probably the least 70s sounding album I’ve ever heard.

100% not what I was expecting.m, sound-wise. Very unique sound for the time which is why it’s getting a 3 despite me probably not ever listening to it again.

100% not what I was expecting based off the wiki info. Kinda into it at first but then it got annoying, especially the last song. Probably wouldn’t listen again but giving a 3 as it’s got such a unique sound.

The guitar solo song knocked this down to a 2 as it was the worst song out of all these albums combined. The rest of the album is nice and I liked the jazzy, big band feel for a rock album but the guitar solo really ruined it for me.

Thought every metal album would be a 1 as I can’t stand the genres, but giving this a 2 as I actually didn’t hate it!

Really loved the bluesy, country style tracks. Didn’t care for the high energy, rock style tracks. 3 stars for how hit or miss it was with me, but I understand why this album is beloved now.

just did not vibe with this at all

This album totally blew me away. I rolled my eyes when I first saw prog rock and 1969, but every track surprised me in the instrumentation, the soundscapes. As soon as the title track started, I knew it would be a 5. Loved every single track and the big cohesive world they built within this album. I can’t think of anything else like it.

Not a bad album at all, but none of it resonated with me and was quite forgettable

This could’ve been released today! Soo engaging and unique

I wanted to finish this album but I couldn’t, it was so grating to my ears and did not like any song.

Beautiful beautiful album, loved every song

I guess I’m not as grunge as I thought. Not terrible, but didn’t have any song resonate with me whatsoever.

Couldn’t bare to give this album 2 stars, it’s Sam Cooke! But this album went by uneventfully for me.

I liked willow, and Aaron’s production. Bon iver’s inclusion ruined the end of the album for me. Normally I give 2 stars to albums I know I won’t listen to again, but giving this a 3 as it was more cohesive in sound than other albums I’ve given a 2.

Simple perfection. I’d heard this one before through and it never disappoints.

Never heard an artist utilize the left/right channels like they did here. This was so unique and I feel like there’s so much to gain with relistens.

Iconic

Masterpiece!

This one grew on me. I didn’t understand why it was in this list until I got to Red Dirt Girl. First song I really liked was Jai fait tout. I enjoyed her storytelling, she’s leagues ahead of T.swift.

I really really liked this one!!

This was too experimental for me.

Second half of the album is a lot stronger than the first.

pretty, but kind of forgettable

I thought the album would be front loaded seeing all the hits at the beginning, but this is just fun and good all the way through.

Thought I wouldn’t like it after hearing the first two tracks, but it got better and the second half of the album slapped. Helicopter was my favorite!

I like A Deeper Understanding a lot more than this album, but this is still a solid album. The production and vocals feel comforting

So unique and interesting, but it didn’t click with me and I found myself drifting off in thought and not paying attention.

Surprised I hadn’t previously heard a single song from this album. The production is outstanding.

It’s a very beautiful album, there were a couple tracks that were skips on my second listen. It left me wanting more, which can be a god thing, but it’s why it’s a 3 instead of a 4.

It was a fascinating listen, and I definitely did not hate it. But being so far removed from western music, it’s not an album I’m going to be going back to again and again. The explanations Ravi gives before each track was great and I did learn a lot, but it made the album feel like one of the children records that teach music

it’s not a bad album by any means, but not a single song spoke to me

John Finn’s wife bumped this album from a 2 to a 3. Those strings are sensational
