1001 Albums Summary

Fantastic album. Not my favorite Hendrix but some absolute classics on it. 8.5/10.

Very solid album. A favorite of my tweens/teens. Tight tracks, consistent sound yet varying grooves and rhythms. Cool LoFi sound considering it was made by a bunch of rich NYC kids. Overall solid 8/10.

Great listen. Never heard it in it's entirety before but I loved it. Can see why it's considered so influential.

Innovative, some great tracks on it, but weighed down by a few stinkers as well.

Pretty freakin good. Forgot how influential The Band was.

I do not fw Queen. At all. But it's arguably their best album and a few songs are catchy so it gets a few stars for that.

Surprised I'd never heard this one before. Pretty decent proto-nu metal with some funkiness/grunge mixed in, but not exactly my style. A couple gems.

Pretty badass. I like the sound a lot. Surprised they were Brazillian

Surprisingly good. I have a soft spot for Arcade Fire though...

There is a reason it's so critically acclaimed. Legendary for a debut.

Fantastic. Historical. Crazy it was her 10th studio album.

Simply epic. But too long and repetitive.

Definitely experimental and grating at times but overall quite a cool album.

I get why it is iconic/influential. but this album was honestly kind of hard to listen to...

Has some bangers on it but a couple misses for me. Was hoping it would be more comprehensive. Coconut is oddly the first one I heard as a child, but Without You is by far the best.

Freakin badass man. Not perfect but has two of the most iconic LS songs. Faves are obviously Tuesday's Gone and Free Bird.

Surprisingly good for a live album. Never heard of it at all but the songs are long and complex and quite impressive. Favorite is Ye Ye De Smell

Pretty solid, but not exactly my favorite sound. Very bluesy indeed. Favorite tracks are Have You Heard and Lonely Years.

Loved the Demos more than the actual album. Really fun. Favorites are Kitchen or Bit Part.

Decent but not my favorite Stones album as its overly bluesy. I honestly think its a bit too long and boring at times. I like Sweet Virginia and Soul Survivor the most.

Court of the Crimson King is an all-timer. Great prog rock album and helped cement Children of Men as my favorite movie.

I get this is a very influential album... but it just stinks. It's creative but so so so grating. Genuinely unenjoyable. The weird vocals and the use of the electric keyboard bothered me a ton. I'd say I can't get over you is probably my favorite track, but it was hard to pick even one.

Great art rock, genre-blending album from one of my favorite 2000s bands that really innovated during the decade. Dlz is my favorite for sure.

Definitely an influential album that wrote the guidelines for 80s pop with groovy basslines, zany vocals, and sci-fi esque synths. Song With No Name and Soul Warfare were my faves, but the album as a whole isn't absolutely groundbreaking.

Don't need to say much. Arguably his best album and this statement has stood the test of the last decade. Even the bonus tracks are great and have killer features. Fave song is Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst. I just love the storytelling, length and changing perspectives, which I think is what the genre excels at over all others.

Not my favorite Johnny Cash album and generally not a live album fan, but this one is legendary and tells an incredible story. Musically I'd say its a 3 but the added lore makes it better. Boy Named Sue is my favorite track, although Shel Silverstein should get more credit.

Not really my style but a good listen, especially on St. Paddy's Day. Faves are Lullaby of London and Streets of Sorrow.

Probably the best RHCP album and still fuckin trash. I hate Anthony Kedis. Who cares about Flea or the drummer whose only relevancy is looking like Will Ferrell. Frusciante is cool but being in a band with a pedophile is messed up. Simply for Scar Tissue I'll give it a 2. It's groovy but also hot fucking ass.

I actually really enjoyed this album. A lot of hits and Heart of Glass rocks hard. I could see this being an innovative album for its time.

Freakin' classic. Super innovative and fun. Tugs at some heart strings but also makes you wanna dance. Would be some great tunes to hear back in the 60s. Love me some Green Onions and A Woman, A Lover, a Friend

Pretty great prog/pop/funk rock. Innovative af and great horns and guitar. Musically its a 3 for me but legacy-wise it gets a 4.

Decent instrumental album. Sounds pretty innovative for its time. I probably wouldn't listen to this very often though. Glass Museum is an iconic song however and I do think it is the best.

Kinda fun, not really my thing overall. Too long. And a Bang on the Ear was my favorite.

Not my favorite Smith's album but it still rocks hard. Paint a Vulgar Picture is my fave.

Some songs sound very 80s for a 70s album. Like the genre bending a lot. Catchy tunes. Fave is Torn Curtain.

Badass album. Great beats and one of my faves from Jay-Z. The Eminem feature is goofy but peak Em. Faves are Song Cry, Girls x3 and Girls x3 pt. 2

So many bangers and very iconic part of my childhood. Has rocked when I was 4 and still does at 24. The songs get better as you age because of how experimental they are despite remaining catchy. I Know There's an Answer and Wouldn't it be Nice are my faves

Never heard this before. Pretty solid, no complaints. Pale September is fave.

Masters Song is so good. I never really gave LC a chance before but this is a great debut for a poet.

This album was surprisingly fantastic. Very 80s but really killer tunes with great vocals. Come To My Aid and Holding Back Tears are my faves.

Album is honestly kind of ass, which I'm betting people disagree with. Doesn't have any Oasis classics... fave was Supersonic I guess

I kinda like Siamese Dream more... but this album is still aspirational and fantastic. Disarm might be my favorite...

This album feels like one long developing song. It is really solid overall, although the sounds of the trumpet that kind of sound human were a bit unsettling. Track A - Solo Dancer was my favorite.

Not my favorite Smiths album but definitely close. Barbarism Begins at Home and Well I Wonder are my faves. Album cover is also burned into my brain.

Garbage proto ACDC. Debris is fine.

Decent 80s rock. Like how it isn't too corny but 80s generally isn't my favorite. Forest Fire is my favorite

Really don't have much to say. Classic metal and kinda epic but not really my style. I can respect it for what it is and it's legacy though. A lot of the songs sound the same... A New Level is probably my favorite?

Not a huge reggae guy myself but this one is relatively legendary. Dread Natty is a great track.

I can see how this would be ahead of its time in 1978, but besides one or two songs its pretty bland. Just What I Needed is a pretty clear winner with that awesome synth.

Good not great. I like a few of the other Family Stone albums a bit more. Self titled track is the best.

iconic and creative blah blah blah. decent listen. self titled track wins once again.

Really mid, sorry. Performative ah lyrics. I'm Not Sorry is my fave

Prog rock... cool i guess. I'm getting fatigued by these though. Why a live album? Does creative really mean good? Does old mean wise? The Great Gates of Kiev is good.

I used to enjoy this album. It was fun and goofy with some nice rhymes. Now it is kind of grating and hard to listen to. Makes me sad. Return of the B Boy is my fave.

Really great jazz album. Great to listen to while working. I would say Unhome was my favorite.

It's iconic. That is it. Just okay. You've Got Her in Your Pocket and Black Math are the good ones.

First half I was not sold, but honestly the back half is really great. What it Feels For a Girl was ahead of its time. Decent overall.

Beast album, spawned a genre, RIP Ozzy. War Pigs is the best.

I get what they are trying to do. It's innovative and groovy at times, especially for being 50+ years old. I don't think it's fantastic though... Just creative. I like Cargo Culte.

I'm really not a Snoop Dogg fan. He seems too focused on being a pop star or celebrity... but honestly this album is pretty solid... I love Serial Killer.

Stinky stinky stinky. So grating to listen to. A few redeemable tracks... London Loves and Trouble in the Messaging Center are fine

Pretty funky, I'd argue its ahead of its time for sure. Some stinkers but more gems than stinkers for sure. Faves are Please Don't Go and Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away.

Decent album. I like the Byrds. Overall solid but not spectacular. I enjoyed Strength of Strings and Some Misunderstanding the most.

Dreams Burn Down is goated. Otherwise... I honestly remember this album being better before. It's solid early shoegaze and influential, but not one of my faves anymore.

Pretty awesome. Diverse track listing, fun instrumentals, great vocals and basslines. I'm Glad and Grown So Ugly are my two faves.

I like The Lady in My Life.. and I guess Thriller is iconic? But its just not fantastic.

Great tunes. Innovative, kicked off great solo careers. Faves are The Score and Ready Or Not

Sometimes this album is annoying, sometimes it bangs, but overall it is extremely 80s in an endearing way and fills me with nostalgia. It is clearly an inspiration for other albums and defined a decade.

I don't know why this album is here. Maybe it is ahead of its time? Kind of Bruce Springsteenish... I would say it's alright. Fine to listen to, just not spectacular.

Catchy tunes, just not the most memorable. Still fun!

Some good jazz. Not much else to say.

It is fine. I get it could be inspirational for others but I found it hard to enjoy.

Iconic to some degree but bleh

Historic. Beast. Not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Actually so solid. Forgot how many bangers were on this album. It's not perfect but Pearl Jam is overhated.

I get it is influential and creative, but as a pure listening experience I can get why nobody cared at Andy Warhol's party in the 60s.

Early bangers, the rest is okay.

Influential but pretty bland and boring. I'd give it a 2.5 if I could.

2010s videogame rock music

Solid, iconic, not blown away.

Don't have much to say. Waylon is great but this one is just okay.

It is fine, saved like 2 songs. 2.5 but I'll round up to 3.

Not Bowie's best but still fantastic. Love that it was inspired by soul music and it really shows. Pretty great from front to back.

Was expecting to hate it because Metallica, but honestly was quite enjoyable to listen to while working...

Fun, poppy, a good time. Solid middle of the road enjoyable listen.

BEAST!

Not my style of old country at all. Much prefer outlaw.

Honestly not peak Neil Young for me, but still really good.

Classic.

Not my favorite Bowie album but still beast.

Early punk yay, still ass.

Experimental earlier punk which is fun but not a repeat listen.

Never was a huge At the Drive-in fan, but it is good shit overall.

Unfortunately not as good as I was expecting. Still decent.

Kinda mid outside of Tom Sawyer...

Classic SD, nothing crazy.

Solid.

Surprisingly easy to listen to

Some strong bangers, but I ended up getting bored by the end.

Iconic beast live album

Groovy man!!

Better than the last Morrissey album I had to review, that's for sure...!

One saveable song, don't see why this album is on this list. Proto shit?

Almost hated this for sounding like Nico Vega but the last few songs truly saved it. Beast of a hail mary.

I like RFtC and Drive Like Jehu, but this is just okay 90's radio rock.

Some bangers on this. Reminds me of Ed Reed a little. Whole album does kind of fall slightly flat tho.

Sound like Coldplay. Decent?

Classic BD. Goated.

Enjoyable, not fantastic.

Pretty solid but the moaning songs were a bit much.

Makes me think of old movies and feel nostalgic for an older time I wasn't alive for. Overall generic fucking dogshit garbage that I wanted to turn off halfway through the first song. A full hour is ridiculous.

Perfectly fine, no bangers no shitters

It was fine, some hits but nothing to wow you with.

Really enjoyed this from start to finish, and it is apparently one of the first afrobeat albums ever. Badarse

Not bad but not really my style overall. I can see why its highly rated though.

Solid. Like me some Crosby. A little more country than expected but fun

Simply beast

Bangers but not beast.

Not my #1 CCR album but truly beast on its own

Surprisingly enjoyable...

Not exactly my cup of tea but you can't deny her talent.

Some were groovy but overall pretty meh

BEAST!

Vocal jazz is not the best jazz. Overall OK

One of Becks best but still not spectacular

Twas fine

Decent. Didn't rock my world.

Classic beast of an album. Not perfect due to repetition but very good and a meaningful album of my childhood.

Alright in all ways.

Meh.

It is definitely influential but to my ear it is just fine. Love Catholic Block tho!

Hard to put a Beatle under 4 brah

Actually pretty fire. just not phenomenal.

Some good jams otherwise alright. I kinda dislike the fusion aspect and think the genres are best left separate.

Legendary jams, unique and beautiful

Not peak CSNY but still great

i wanted to give this a 4 because it has a few bangers on it... but it just isnt cohesive enough

All of ES discography is good, and this one has some bangers but honestly I'm not sure if it is a true 4?/? IDK man its a soft 4.

Songs are either kinda shit or all the same. Really grating but I guess I respect her talent

Nostalgic and maybe a lil corny but still a great listen with some surprisingly diverse tracks

Some grating tracks but overall an enjoyable listen

Just fine

It is fine. That is all

I respect the game and creativity but this shit was so hard to get through

It is catchy and influential but not a banger for me.

Pretty solid but didnt wow me.

Pretty solid but WTF is with the fart noises in the closing track LOL

Not my fave Kanye but still stellar

True Bowie bangers even if not his main hits

Fire, classic, sexy, sad.

Fun and wonky with some hits. Not phenomenal

Great voice and tunes but nothing caught my ear too much.

Devil in a New Dress and Runaways are the only tracks I truly love, but because of how much effort went into the album I have to give it a 4.

Pretty catchy but not phenomenal

Pretty solid, kinda sounds like the Beatles

One of the best soul albums ever

Clearly high effort but can't say I want to listen to it often. Kendricks voice can be grating even if the message is great... some bangers, some annoying ass interludes

Quite enjoyable. Not something I'd listen to daily but it is great.

Surprisingly good and clearly influential on a lot of folk/solo artists

I have a soft spot for 90s shite and this is also incredibly influential so

Good but def not my fave Radiohead album

Pretty classic and fairly underrated album. It is a soft 4 IMO.

Used to love this at 17/18 but oh my God what a snoozefest now. How the hell did it get on this list? Sax is sometimes cool.

Beast of an album with some classics and overall good vibe

Super beast guitar solo awesoomeness

Beast but not really my thing? Gotta respect it tho

Decent but not on streaming and kinda silly overall. High 2.

Foster was right. Bangers.

Surprisingly enjoyable

It is fun with some hits but overall pretty average at best in terms of a listening experience. Nostalgic.

Just fine. Pretty boring but not grating.

Super influential and a great album, strong 4

better than expected!

Good shit with some classics and I like his early stuff but not phenomenal.

I have to have a certain level of respect for this but holy fucking trash

Meh

Pretty awesome and influential. Not a whole lot to say but I really enjoyed it.

I really like this album but it doesnt stick out as much as I'd like. Kinda blends together, which is sweet.

Front to back awesomeness. #ScotsDoItBetter

Overhyped but still a fine listen

Not much to say other than it is a fun listen for the most part

Meh, kinda beast

Standard issue, good stuff just didnt wow me

All time classic and influential beast

I get its influential but its not that fun of a listen

A lot of fun!
