1001 Albums Summary

I think they've got better in them tbh, so i'm gonna keep this one low.

I really don't enjoy sultans of swing but liked the album as a whole, added it to my playlist to listen again.

I don't really like the Velvet Underground that much but i didn't hate this like i do Nico. I really enjoyed Pale Blue Eyes

I can't listen to this.

This is fine and nice to listen to, I'm just not sure why it's on this list?2.5

It’s not an incredible album by any stretch but as easy listening country albums go, it’s very beautiful and props to using the word chrysalis in a song to ms muzzy.

I really enjoyed most of this. Wrote a song for everyone a bit of a bummer and very repetitive but Commotion is sooooo good.

A good album, corgans voice though.

definitely will relisten.

This is a good album but I HATE neo soul.

I'm just not sure how to rate this. I'm sure it's excellent but jazz just is not for me.

Yeah, this is good innit. I don't feel bad about not going to see him at glasto still though.

The screaming is fun but a bit much. When i went to see Red Hot Chili Peppers at hyde park in...05?06? something like that - James Brown was booed off the stage.

I thought this album was really sweet, really pretty. A lovely autumn album.

There were some good songs in this but it mostly just dragged on and on for me. Not one i will be revisiting

Was about to hit the roof when i realised that this started with a cover but then looked at the original track listing and that wasn't on it. Dizzy highs but some bits a bit dull

Drags a little in the middle but the highs are dizzy high. it's a 3.5

I rinsed this album so much when it first came out. Remember seeing them on the second stage at V festival just after this album came out and feeling pretty smug about it. ABsolutely cracking beginning of the album (skipped brightside) Glamourous indie rock and roll absolutely stonking song. A hit.

A beautiful last album, talk about ending on a high. it's a 4.5 but i'll give it a 5, why not.

Shake your rump incredible but the rest got a little...claggy?

I was expecting more of this but i found it dragged and a bit samey. the singles are bops. 3.5

All who albums are getting a 1 star for noncing.

Neither of these beefheart albums are ones i would pick but this is definitely the better.

I really enjoyed this, will definitely be revisiting.

Some dizzy highest but some very average stuff mixed in.

A Gospel one of the most deeply evil songs i've ever heard. It's an interesting album that's for sure. but a good album? I'm not convinced. You're the Best Thing is so madly different to the rest of the album, it's extra confusing. I don't think i'll be revisiting.

I can tell this is good but it's very much not for me.

Pretty forgettable.

I mean, at least this one isn't boring. It's probably not for me and i'm probably not gonna listen again but i certainly was not bored. Charlotte a stand out.

What a debut. One of those albums where I listen i'm transported back to a moment in time. 4.5

Yeah, fair play. this is absolutely incredible.

All who albums are getting a 1 star for noncing.

This is just fine but it has NO BUSINESS being in this list.

I did enjoy this but i'm not sure it's something i'd relisten to on the regular.

I know he's a wrongun but it's a 5

It was good but it didn't really grab me.

It's incredibly solid as an album but doesn't have any standout tracks for me.

REally enjoyed this, not usually my thing but added to my playlist to listen again. Maybe i was too harsh on elvis not writing his own songs as these seem to be standards too...

I listened to a song exploder episode about Take on Me and they spoke about the songs being originally written for a lower tone of voice and then they got this guy in. they realised his voice could reach higher pitches than other people while remaining strong. Having that in mind while listening was interesting. However, hard to open with Take on Me and have any other song mean anything. It's too dizzy a high.

I don't think i'll ever revisit this. it's good but i feel like it was done by others better.

All who albums are getting a 1 star for noncing.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this album. I'm sure some of the lyrics are probably questionable but i'm not gonna look too closely and will be listening to this one again.

I'm absolutely shocked, i enjoyed this.

This was a whole lot of nothing.

It's just a perfect album.

Good but a little samey.

A little too long but honest, excellent.

I didn't like this.

This is good, it's just not for me. 3.5.

I was really surprised that this is what The The sound like. Thought they were gonna be yet more 60-70s british beatles-inspired rock but absolutely loved this! looking forward to when their other album appears on the list :)

Still as fresh now as it was then. incredible album.

I did enjoy this but I wasn't buzzing.

This is just fine, doesn't seem that different from a lot of other stuff in the world. Don't get how it could be considered one of the best albums ever.

It's realyl good it's just too long for my ADHD brain.

This is fine but i don't think i'll ever listen again and it's very dated.

I liked this one and will be relistening. some of the songs were a little meandering and it was a tad too long.

This was absolutely GASH.

I just hate this so much. It's probably technically a good album but I HATE IT. This years love is really good though, so 1.5?

Kinda nothing but a nice nothing. I don't think i'd listen again.

I find Hole just okay.

I was on holiday recently and this kind of music was playing by the pool in the hotel constantly and honestly, i've had enough.

This hanky panky songs needs to get to fuck. And some of this sounds like Chas and Dave (derogatory). But some bits were incredible. The opening of Paris 1919 was BIIIIIG.

I'm gonna listen to this again but first listen it was a little meh.

I find hip-hop and rap quite difficult to rate so i'm sure this album is better than I think. However - it's not my vibe. I will be giving it another listen. Loved Da Mystery of Chessboxing

This was a nice listen and he had quite the voice but how high can you rate something that wasn't ever written by him? watch me give 5 stars to beyonce.

An easy 5 for me, the songs still feel so fresh and furious.

fine, i wouldn't revisit.

I really enjoyed this, i think i'll try and give the film a watch and listen again.

Not sure on this. It's a lot and there is a lot of flute. Some would say too much.

This is good but you probably have to be in a very specific mood to listen to it on the regular.

I listened to this at least 3 times and it just didn't go in so i must therefore assume it's MID (very good, but not as good as other beatles albums)

One is one of the best songs of all time but the rest of this is a little one note for me. 3.5 but i'll but it as a 4

This is very Trout Mask Replica-esque but not in a good way. but it looks like we've got another 4 albums to come for him to win me over. Great.

It's just not for me.

I don't listen to abusers

This is a good doves album but it's not 1001 greatest albums ever.

This was fine but i don't think i'll ever have the urge to re-lsiten

Yes, this list should have more pop in it. Is this the pop that should be included? No. Stripped on the other hand - YES

This was boring

The worst band in the world is one of the weirdest songs to make it into this list. i didn't hate this tbf.

I don't vibe with her voice but this is undeniable.

I personally don't like this style at all but I do think that it's good if you do like it? I used to have this version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine from Limewire in the early 2000s. It was incorrectly titled 'I Heard It Through The Bassline' but I actually think that fits better, such an excellent cover.

I really enjoyed this. I can't believe this Mother song is by the police. it sounds very modern but also very beefheart.

This was better than i thought

FINE

This album is absolutely fascinating but i'm not sure i like it.

wow, that was a whole lot of nothing.

I really enjoyed this except for Section 43 which i thought dragged on for an eternity

I quite enjoyed this but it was too long. Especially enjoyed Bow. will be going back to it.

Pleasantly surprised. 3.5

This slow version of Brimful of Asher made me want to end things. the rest of the album was a lot of nothing. Why is this here? This funky days song is tragic.

it's good it just isn't for me

I was underwhelmed

This is fine but not really for me. Better than yet more early english rock though.

very heavy but very good

Yeah, this rips.

This didn't do much for me.

this was fine, i feel like he's got more in him.

Unreal

Good but quite long. 3.5

4.5 - really good this.

3.5

I found this a slog. It was fine.

I've been listening to this album for 100 years

I didn't know costello sounded like this i don't think. it was enjoyable, nothing ground breaking but nice.

As much as I'd like to be 'this is overrated' it's not. There's a reason it's always so high on these lists.

This was a slog and a half. One famous song does not a 1001 album make.

this was just fine for me.

remarkably annoying.

some of this is really very nice. especially CrossEyed Cat but it's so samey it all sort of bleeds together.

Inoffensive.

4.5. very good.

really enjoyed this for my sins

Why do people love this so much?

Starts off really good and sort of tails off. i'll probably lsiten again though.

Why on earth is this on here. This is not for me. It's not offensive so it avoids a 1.

I just don't think live albums should be on this list.

I didn't like this as much as debut or Vespertine. Obviously still good.

I really enjoyed this.

I found this surprisingly enjoyable considering the stupid as fuck name. 'This is DJ Eazy Dick on the station that slaps you across your fat ass with a fat dick'

really enjoyed the title track. the rest were nice but a little dull at points.

His voice is genuinely terrible. Love to Burn is good but i doubt i'll be going back to this again.

Heaps of Sheeps wasn't too bad but then The Duchess is one of the most painful listening experiences i've ever, ever encountered. TAndt he rest of the album isnt' that bad! I would go so far as to say i Quite Liked It. but then i'll think about the Duchess and the horror returns.

I actually really enjoyed this and will come back to it again. the influences are really being worn on their sleeve (is that the phrase?) i can hear a bit of beatles, a bit of pink floyd in the background of some songs and you can hear the britpop too (despite them not being british?) I really enjoyed 'Not If you Were The Last Junkie on Earth' especially.

REally loved this, will be coming back again. Have a feeling peter gabriel is a wrongun but for rating purposes i will NOT be looking it up.

I did enjoy this but it was a little samey by the end. A lot of stone cold bangers on it and The End was excellent.

I was dreading listening to this but it was actually quite a good album, if a bit disjointed, but Gutter Cat Vs the Jets is terrible and i like Sondheim.

It's a 10 for Ten

He's a big big wrong'un, one of the worst. This is such an incredible album.

freshhhh

I don't listen to abusers.

Yeah, i mean it's unreal isn't it.

I love Faith No More but this isn't their best work, should have been Angel Dust imo or King For a Day, Fool for a Lifetime.

Too fucking long.

I didn't love this as much as I thought I would as a prodigy ultra. Prefer Invaders.

Really enjoyable. Lost cause an absolute banger.

We don't give stars to abusers.

This album is perfect. I won't be re-listening because they're white supremacists but I wish I could relisten.

seminal

I'm sure this is great, i am not listening to a two disc live album. there are 1089 albums to listen to - i cannot waste my time on this.
