i saw a comment on this being like "The NYC vibe album", and I GOTTA agree, there's a beautiful mixture of the different elements of the new york scene in the 90's. one song reminded me so much of the main theme of the incredibles haha. plus afterwards it autoplayed a song off of oceans eleven which he composed which was pretty nice as well :p
A funk world album is such an awesome combo and I really hope there’s more of it on the list later on mmmmmmm
A pretty good singer songwriter album (from what I would believe it is). Everything just sits nicely and the vocals are pretty cool
It's an american blues rock album. It's alright, nothing too special and i liked the songs with piano which gave it a lil ragtimey feel but it just ain't my cuppa. would be fun in an american pub played live tho fav song: seeing things
Decent rock album with I believe an almost female cast which is sickkkkk. Gives me “If Olivia Rodrigo” made music in the 90’s haha
They really abbeyed that road huh. Come Together is like the most overrated Beatles song I swear to god we did a 60’s music assignment and every group but mine played that stupid song holy crap. Tho back to the album, it’s a Beatles album so what more can you say, it’s an album which you can smile to but I’m def listening to it 55 years too late haha Fav song: here comes the Sun
i've given a listen the cure a few times over the course of the last few months, and this album is their weakest... not to say it's bad, just alot of the similar sound, and when it's the sort of the like rock-ambience sort of music this album has, it gets a bit too much into the background. However, the songs on individual listen ARE BEAUTIFUL it's so immersive in little pockets and would be a cool vinyl to own as something for a backing vibe. this music wouldn't be in anything pornographic tho... fav song : The Figurehead
This album is… interesting. I am sure that this album could have gone without being on the “1001 albums to listen to before you die”, as it’s not anything special from what I’ve heard from R.E.M. I had to give this album multiple repeeps to actually get a favourite because I like… forgot it. All I can remember from the album is the part where he says “monkey monkey monkey” LMAOOO. I really hope their other albums are better, esp with the 18 million monthly. Fav song: fireplace
When I heard the 12 bar blues in "I love your loving ways", I knew I was in for a TREAT. Which might be a good time to say that 12 bar blues are more of the time boring (expect when jazzheads do em <3), but when they be an album opener OOOOOOOOOOOO goodness how much do they cook. so yeah, what more can I say? beautiful brass lines on the songs which have em, the piano is just drop dead GORGEOUS OMMGGGGGGG she is such a talented pianist as well, esp climaxing on If I Should Lose You. Either Way I Lose is such a clever idea of having bass vocals doing... bass hahah. what a wonderful way of ending the album little issues having her vocals sometimes not really hitting it tonely but that's prob due to experience compared to her 70's stuff. def deserves to be on not only a top 1001 but a top 201 albums :D fav song: That's All I Ask
I can't understate how the post 2000's Shin Megami Tensei soundtracks / shoegaze has made me be able to appreciate this sorta music. When guitar go fuzzzz me be buzz. With that being said, that prob moved the album from like a 4/10 to a 6/10, because this sorta music ain't my style. The hits / the first half of this album are pretty decent tracks, but because of how popular this style of music has become, i've become very mellow to it, if they have more of an ambient-experimental album i would probably enjoy it more hmmm. Oh and something in the way was pretty cool as well. I can really see it's mass appeal for sure, it screams "teenage rebellion" or whatever Ben says it means haha. (also i was watching anime when listening to this (shoutout to RE:zero) and the episodes were pretty peak and it helped with the vibe so that might of helped) Fav: Come as You Are
This is a 2/5 because of "i'm not a fan of metal" rather then a "this is a below average album". For all merits, this is a FANTASTIC METAL album, everything from the dual metal vocals (which is just a staple in current metalcore sorta stuff), to that mmmmm bass and the drums are just all well done. It's just something I can't mesh with well, esp since playing metal over 30% volume gives me headaches. I do prefer their more melodic stuff over their intensity... so yeah, good job Slipknot. Fav song: Child of Burning Time
This album goes from good to shit to A DROP DEAD BEAUTY. The start of this album has a lot of cool instrumentation decisions in a unique way (prob cause it's mostly MIDI stuff), and I was excited for an album with that direction. No One Receiving whilst having weird but pretty cool intentional vocal choices made me ponder if this was just gonna be another one of those "albums" that seems to litter this 1001 albums (the rock albums with a lil quirky change in them), or something unique and not expected. Sadly over the first 7 songs, the album just drops down in quality, ending up me letting it be background noise, with Julie With being... not a good song at all. I was so tuned out. I had 4 songs to go. I didn't want to continue. I hear the start of By This River. I froze. The gentle piano melody grabs all my attention. The backing chimes help add so much ambience. His vocals come in. They work so well. The midi strings come in. It gives the piece such a melancholic feeling to it. I hate making this comparison, but it honestly reminds me of "Waterfall" and "Quiet Water" from the UNDERTALE ost. But I think this does the vibe SO SO SO much better. The rest of the album complimented By The River so well... it saved the album. I assume this was the part after Science, because did the album just resonate with me once finishing. This album reminds me of the Grand Canyon :) Fav song: By This River (did i even need to say)
It's an american blues rock album. It's alright, nothing too special and i liked the songs with piano which gave it a lil ragtimey feel but it just ain't my cuppa. would be fun in an american pub played live tho fav song: seeing things
I think this album best matches the vibes of the cover / name of it, it's just so smoooooth, Reggae has that just feeeels that come from the kinda swinging drums and beautiful vocals. I had to rate this album up a point on relisten because man is it just so well made. There's not a bad song on this whole album, just vibes, I think Maxi Priest is the reason why I'm a fan of this sorta style of stuff. Fav Song: No Sympathy
This is the most like... medieval a rock album can sound? It def gives the vibe of being from the early 1970's, as the effect pedals and the synth are super limited for the time, but they did do well for what they had on hands. Probably the most "above-average" album i've ever heard lmaooooo Fav Song: Child in Time
breakbeats are so delicious. i can't understand how goood this album is, even if it's sounds like sex music. i should probably check out more trip-hop if this is what it sounds like. tbf the album starts a lil weak but it gets SO GOOD BY THE END. fav song: aftermath (beep)
I feel like this album is very... corporation pop. It's super safe music, there a few songs on this album which given to someone for not the ideas of it being safe pop music, would the songs be like pretty fun. Would give Adele the chance for her to be able to showcase her works. This album would also be best heard live, it NEEDS those big speakers and width needed for it to shine. Fav Song: Send My Love
I actually listened to this album twice within the 24 hours, one in the afternoon on the train and one during midnight cruising home. It fits both vibes very well... it's a very fun album, an album to bop your head to! It's just a solid album through and through, however I'm not sure if I would listen to any of the songs in isolation. Fav song: Feelin'
Honestly this album is so…. Bland? Nor much to talk about it is good background music lmao Fav: Revolution Blues
Elvis Presley is a interesting artist, such a talented singer for the time and did bring the music industry lil more booming. however in personal taste, i'd rather listen to the original versions of the songs hmmmm. a true 5/10 fav song: money honey
It's good cruising music, the album has some very nice instrumentation in it, and has a nice vibe :D . I think the first half of the album is kinda boring but the 2nd half has alot more sauce. the slap bass do be slapppppinnggg yummmm. fav song: Train in the Distance
This album fits the name of the band SO WELL!!!!!! They ARE cowboy junkies. I just feel like I’m a saloon worker making food behind the counter and in the corner of my ears I just hear. This. Something I might put on if I’m ever out in the outback haha. The vocalists voice is just so soothing omg. Fav song: working on a building
When I opened this album up straight after reviewing the last album, gotta be honest. was a little disappointed. The first track SUCKS. however as the album goes on... it does get better. I do love the completely different styles, showcased in songs like "Close Behind", which gives like Video Game music vibes, like something out of Xenoblade, which gave me a little shock. Oh and when "The Book and the Canal" came on, WOOOOOOOAHHHHHH did it give me chills, such a beautiful piano and string section melody, would fit right into WALL-E. Could they PLEASE change the album cover please, that sucks so much. Trumpets are very sick tho.
This album is so long. I kinda get it, like, it’s an album from 1969 so why not do anything else haha, but this album just DRAAGGGSSSS ONNNNN. It feels like an elongated jam session, though honestly I prefer listening to alor of these tracks over like the Beatles LMAOOO. Fav song: Underture (even if some of the notes are so jwysuwokwhsua off key)
Overall, this is good album. I preferred the songs without the rock influence but it's just... so beautiful. Hope we get more albums like this :) Fav song: Endlessly
it's such a long album, especially for someone not into the beatles. i get why it's in here hahahaha, but man does this album drag so much in the 2nd half, by the end it just feels like a jam session lmao. it has some good tracks tho. fav song: my sweet lord
This is like my 5th time listening to this album in full... and I swear with every listen this album gets better. Just his voice alone is just powerful enough to give it a perfect rating, and to think it's just... this... from him. man. the world didn't deserve jeff buckley. fav song: grace
This albbbbuuummmmm is so grooooovvyyyyy woah. I love all the singing melodies, the FANTASTIC trumpets and those smooth as hell drums. Solid 8/10
YUMMMMMMMMMM. this is SUCH a great album. I listened to it the first time a month ago and fell in love with Come To Me and Venus is a Boy. It's just beautiful. Her singing with the breakbeats stuff and just fusd0fiojsfsifoi it's amazing. fav song: Venus is a Boy
This album was alright. The tracks are a lil long and get a bit repeat however the instrumentation was pretty cool. fav song: Lucretia My Reflection
Oh this is heat. Even if you gave this to me a year ago I would have rated it MUCH lower. It’s got amazing grooves and the flow is just incredible. Sounds even better when you peep on public transportation Fav song: Spaghetti Junction
Yeah it was alright, I liked the songs with the very punchy basslines but it’s nothing too special. Fav song: Thug
it's a good album, i've actually studied this album in a lecture before haha. not too outstanding in anyway thoooo fav song: i don't know what it is
It's just alright. I don't know, the vocals are just lameish and i've heard a bunch of this sorta music so much other places. the production and vibes are nice tho fav: the golden age
Most "This doesn't deserve to be in the top 1000" album i've listened to thus far. feels like one of those bands that the people writing it were like "oh yeah i really like this personally so i'm just gonna add it" sorta vibe. Genuinely fell asleep to it.
cool instrumentation and some amazing ideas they present across the album. sadly not really for me :((
this is a bob dylan album 👍 keep up the good work bob dylan fav: subterrain homesick blues
OOOOH THIS RAP IS SO NICEEE, 90’s rap built diff with those breakbeats Fav song : miss honey - jingoro
omg the toy story guy made albums???? that's so cool, and the style has remained constant for like a few years waow. fav: back on my feet again
This was alright… this just sounds like music… this might of been psych rock in the 60’s but I def prefer newer psych rock
such a solid album... the bass goes insane and the hits are pretty mmmmmm amazing. fav: killing in the name of
Very cruisey album with amazing instrumentation and amazing sound from the 70’s. Perfect music to drive to
Theres def some nice ideas throughout the album, a lot of nice tracks with a whoolllleee range of instruments so that’s nice. Trumpets!
Was playing red dead redemption whilst listening to this and it fit that vibe very well, but outside of that it’s just rock which I’m not too much of a fan of
like an actual amazing album, the instrumentation is just such a me thing to listen from the brass to the piano to well,everything would like an instrumental version of dis better tho
atypical 90's country, was pretty nice to listen on a drive home but doesn't suit to listen outside of that
A pretty good singer songwriter album (from what I would believe it is). Everything just sits nicely and the vocals are pretty cool
Beautiful vocals , beautiful instrumentation, Aretha is such a gem to the jazz scene
the sitar is a beautiful instrument, and this is just a lovely experience exploring the experimentation using this instrument.
such much ambience, nice stuff even if it's just 20000 different bits of noise hahaha
this is what every single album here needs to be... hella funky and just SUCH A VIBE. i even knew one of the songs cause it's a sample bwahah
sweet grooves and just a viiiibbbbeeeeeeeee, bob marley is cooooookkkiingggggggg
Ooooooh from only knowing her from her involvement in the cars soundtrack, this is fantastic. It’s just a nice take on grassroots rock with just some hella interesting music. I did find out that I knew All I wanna do which was a surprise so I guess I don’t just know her from cars
Decent rock album with I believe an almost female cast which is sickkkkk. Gives me “If Olivia Rodrigo” made music in the 90’s haha
Poppy electronic goodness, very synth very cool, and a whole bunch of guys on it, well done haha
Most eh album I’ve ever heard before haha. Nice strings and backing instruments but his vocals are hella annoying
was alright, it's so so so so so british i've never heard anything more british in my life lmaooo
I wouldn’t think they classify to be “special”, it’s not bad but it’s their band name is a lie. The bass is hella nice thooo and has good vibes
Yeah this is a very influential album for sure, it’s sound is nothing like it for the 60’s, however due to its age I don’t think it’s too enjoyable of a listen, esp the 14min song. Solod
No clue why I expected heavy metal, because this was… better than that. Good quality rock and I liked the stuff when they didn’t do rock better.
My mum said it the best “90’s Grunge mixed with supertramp”. Some nice songs but overall an interesting blend and def not the vibe from the cover
Very cool standard rock album for sure !! Def can hear it’s a lot of bands influence. Some good songs but a lot are a bit dated sadly
They def weren’t rushing… very on the best rock music. Pretty cool and def better then the average rock album
Dave fought the foos!! This is so cool !! Very awesome to hear that this is a solo album, super duper cool omg. Raw tracks with some that sound a little shoegazey
So experimental for the time, kinda giving video game but much cleaner for the time haha. Got sick of it in the auto play queue afterwards but it was the perfect length !
girls just wanna have fun!! what a fun album with mostly straight bangers from the top to the bottom, with beautiful synths and vocals all the way through!
OMG this hip hop album is just so juicy, love the rapping, love the breakbeats and the vibes are immaculate. They know how to cook. Tho not my fav hip hop album of this, nas better
Beautiful album. If only album could be this consistently good! Coldplay is such a classic to me and my childhood. I don’t think there’s a bad track on this album :p
Bruce Springsteen is such a classic artist, though not as good as born to run. Solid but not the bessttt of his
thank goodness i read the reviews and it saying i only needed to listen to the first 13 songs. it drags... great ideas and playing a game like Red Dead would make it much better, or at like a campfire setting, however a natural car listen home... not sure about that one. good stuff tho
Thay do be the bob Marley and that do be the wailers wow very standard album from them wow
It’s average. Theres nothing special about it, though there’s nothing bad about it. Love the fact that it goes from male vocals to female vocals every other track.
This is such an interesting concept to do a live album on the 1001... i def think it's a good idea for it. kinda iconic for them not to do their hits, though as someone who's not too into nirvana, i wish there kinda were. nevertheless, nice work !!
such a novel concept of being a double album, though as someone who thinks genesis is alright... its good for the first like 50mins. some good track afterwards, but still a wonderful album haha. good driving music to and from a gig.
this album is kinda a blur. it's got so many ideas throughout each track, however, it's so BRITISH. laughing with my track at most songs at the different directions it was going through, has psych stuff to crooner stuff to just standard rock, to like the most british stuff ever. very fun album.
SAMIDOT may be the best kendrick lamar song.
Beach boys are such a classic band, pretty groovy for ‘71, and the vocals have really beautiful sounds effects on it
interesting that the album had a mono and stereo version within the same album, found that fascinating. I always find 60's psychedelic rock a bit boring, i love the genre 20 years later when it's more effect heavy but it just sounds like rock. nice drumming tho.
Very important to have something A. Brazilian B. Heavy Metal in this list. sadly, not my stuff. Cool aspects but heavy metal gives me headaches
Found it more interesting but less enjoyable than his Electric Ladyland album. Kinda didn’t want him 2 weeks after the last one but that’s what happens haha
So groovy and good, I’ll probably make the style of music if I was in the 90’s.
Such a 2010’s album even tho it’s from 2009 lmao. Interesting electronic elements even tho the vocals are a bit wacky at times
it's almost emotional to learn that this is bowie's death album... though saying that it's very hit or miss, the hits SLAP but it's a rough start to get there.
Is there really a demand for ANOTTHERRRR random rock album from the 90's??? It's not that bad that I should give it a 1/5, but it's just a rock album. The vocals are just a barebones version of great singers, it's like taking away all the soul from the song. Def another person's cup of tea tho.
very interesting Pakistani album, it's nice !!! it's just cool music and nothing much outside of it, good to be on the 1001 for diversity of differing music
The more I learn about this lady the cooler this album becomes. Great electronic vibes and her voice is so nice to hear !!
A classic band with a classic album. I really like the amount of times I’ve played Californication cause bass players cant get enough of the song
if you told me this is from 1968 and i didn't see this, i'd heavy doubt you, as the production is so peak. nice vocals and beautiful instrumentation but it's nothing too better then good background music.
french 2010's gay pop???? kinda iconic ngl, love the vibes but didn't fully hit the marks compared to some of my other goats in the genre. still a great choice for the 1001
2nd Paul Simon album. It has his hit in it, cool. I just think it’s just so so so stock standard 😭😭😭😭 Nothing bad but nothing good either
Wow. What a lame album. Nothing about it is bad, it’s just eh prog rock. “Oh don’t judge prog rock on its first listen”, many will say, however it’s just not my cup of tea. Cool ideas over some songs but others (like I’ve seen all the good people) are just like… WHEN IS THIS GONNA ENDDDDD haha
Damn thay smith singer got low-key better in the 90’s. Cool stuff throughout it, with nice vibes
For an album in the 60’s, pretty cool blend of genres to create a nice listening album whilst I walked the streets at night time.
To my knowledge the 2nd R.E.M album I’ve done so far. This is a little better then Out of Time, tho not my much. A chill rock album never hurts anyone, esp one with a cool bass player
nice 90's club vibes, recognized some of the songs even if i don't hit the club all too often. cool stuff, needs a dj over it thoooooooo
Look. This is so influential for the development of Synth pop music. I gotta hand it to that. I also gotta gonna say that the next song that came up on the auto queue on their next album was like 10x better. It makes me so conflicted ahhhh. Plus some songs were just terrible in the vocal parts. Nevertheless, very interesting album to have included
came into this with the thought of my radiohead fans that this isn't a good album, and whilst yeah, pulk / pull revolving doors is on there... there are a bunch of cool tracks on there. interesting album inbetween some greats.
good that it's an EP. i wouldn't of been really able to listen to much more of it... it's just noise to me, sorta punk i'm not really into. though really can see an audience for it
Solid prince album for never really hearing him prior to this !!! 1999 is a classic, and a bunch of other solid songs throughout. Have had a bunch of less then an hour albums in recent so it made it a lil harder to focus the whole time
Thundercat really killed it with this one !!! Incredible bass work, and whenever he uses synths, it also kills. Fun groovy album throughout this all!!
frank ocean plz drop this one of the albums of all time and i need more then just this and blonde i beg
if you like noise rock, you'll love this. if not, the most average album you'll ever hear.
interesting album. so very 90's core, rock and all. nice use of trumpets and other brass throughout the album though !!
my twin's favourite artist, so no matter what i say apart from "this is the best thing ever i love every song wow" will get me flammed. solid album tho he kinda has taste...
i saw a comment on this being like "The NYC vibe album", and I GOTTA agree, there's a beautiful mixture of the different elements of the new york scene in the 90's. one song reminded me so much of the main theme of the incredibles haha. plus afterwards it autoplayed a song off of oceans eleven which he composed which was pretty nice as well :p
For a live album, this sounded pretty good, love how the name of the album was the place they performed the set. though it's rock music and it sounded a lot like a bunch other stuff i've heard recently.
fun silly disco inspo rock music from the 2000's!! what more could you want from music haha
these fundamental 60's albums to me are just getting so stale. like sure they are very important for developing music as we know it, i'm just... bored.
as a sample based producer, i can really appreciate a high quality sample based album. it's so interesting and i love all the elements to make it in a nice cohesive and funky package!
i feel like this album is a precursor to the many album in the 2010's which sound similar to that, which is cool. nice backing instruments in the strings when they have them :)
didn't expect another radiohead album so soon (fyi 13 days). they are geniuses at what they do for sure, but another mixed bag album similar to Amnesic, however at a higher quality for the highlights. so close to a 4
Jazz samples with breakbeats with 90’s hip hop ?????? And you gonna say someone rated this under a 4???? Insanely good the bus ride was baller !!!
High octane, full throttle music. The drummer is working overtime lmao I swear. Not my sorta music I’m into but it would deserve a better score if I was into it haha.
I feel like this is a good baseline album for if something deserves a 2 or a 3 on the list. Probably the most 5/10 album I’ve heard, pretty decent rock with nice instrumentation and stuff. It’s very standard imo
Trip hop or whatever they call it??? The drums are just immaculate, grabbed me in as soon as the album started. Vocals are also very nice as well :) Really in the border between a 3 and 4, flipped a coin at it landed tails so it’s a 3
pretty standardly cool rock album, the instrumental songs were my favs cause they had a bit more diversity in instrumentation to them :)
this album is such an influential piece of media, a prison live album is such a powerful thing. the moment between the crowd and cash is just so humane. i just don't like country...
i feel like this album is everything against what i personally enjoy in music. not to say it's objectively bad, the sorta rock they play just makes me wanna yawn.
A very nice consistent album from The Police. I don't think you can go wrong with them, solid drumming, nice singing, everything is just cohesive. Great stylistic inspos as well.
That album was Deee-Liteful. straight club bangers top to bottom. GROOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE ISSSSS INNNN THE HEARRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT
people said to me "oh no not the pixies, they are like the smiths but worse and more pretentious". this peaked my interest, and after listening... it made me have the realization. they were right.
i do like their new wave approach to punk, it makes me quite enjoy the listening experience for a genre i don't typically enjoy as much !
Alt rock which probably means it’s a 3/5. Tho I liked six man sextet cause I love bjork and it has that energy haha
The epitome of what I hate in music. 60’s blues rock with screams vocals with kinda eh mixing. Like, what can you do haha. Thank goodness it’s 32 minutes long… any more and I’d scream
One of my favourite parts about 60’s albums is that stereo that they have where the drums will be in one ear and then piano will be in the other. I liked the piano ear mmmmm.
very INTERESTING 90's indie rock album. some of the songs on this... yeah... some of the worst rock i've ever heard. the vocalistic lowkey kinda needed vocal on some of time. however, they had some solid songs, so it's not like i can fully bash them haha.
Art rock is always so fascinating to me. One of THE most interesting genres to exist, has so much quirky stuff in each genre. Very solid
I'd say The bees are pretty standard for indie rock, i didn't really get anything too much special out of them, but like, def not a bad experience at all !!! must listen to fans of the genre tho
hey if everyone made grunge like they did in this album... i think i'd like it a bit more. BLACK HOLE SUNNNNN. WON'T YOU COME (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)
One can tell it's an influential synth album because of how it just... flows. i liked it but def something you have to listen to rather then you want to listen to.
another one of those “you need to listen to this” rather then “you would want to listen to this” album. Low-key forgot I was listening to music at some points, and the rock parts aren’t my thing.
a delight of an album to listen to. this reminds me of 2016 when the jones brothers made that... cover of the song, and finally seeing how much better the original was. Whole album is wonderful, the messages are just so in your face and honestly we need more of these sorta albums to make people realise injustice. esp now with trump (yuck) in power.
I am a trumpet player. I play jazz as apart of a bunch of my college assessment tasks. Miles Davis is my favourite trumpet player (i know, basic pick for someone's who's played for 8 years now haha). Somehow i've never heard of this album before, so yeah. Brilliant. As soon as I saw it was a 2 track album I knew I was in for a delight. I love jazz fusion, and I never knew Davis did an Jazz Fusion album, though knowing his stuff from the 90's, why am I not surprised at all. Having Hancock and Corea on piano OOOOOOOOOOOOo just incredible stuff. Sadly don't know the other players on this album :( I need this on vinyl.
what a LOVELY swing band to grace my ears. Louis on vocals and trumpet was just such a nice and cheerful thing, and Keely on backing vocals was a nice duality. very simple but so rich in soundssss.
A Latin inspired album by a French guy. I’m sure there is some story about the most insane story whilst this album was playing, because the vibes are immaculate nom. Would love more live I think.
this was BARELY better then the last pixie albums i listened to... tho saying that, where is my mind SUCKS OMG. can we just wait maybe 2 years to give me the next pixie albums i can't...
Ahhh 90’s hip hop is so cool, great backing beats, the vocals are fun and the “oh this is the 3min mark radio stations u can tune out” part is such an earworm haha
beautiful vibes throughout the album, i found this very very nice to study with :) not a single bad track on this lovely reggae album. hearing that there is a Jamaican version however makes me wanna listen to that version too.
For an album to actively captivate me for the entire 2hr 15min, this album must mean… something. I didn’t even mind it being double length. Great samples, great drums, the rap flowed so well. Great product
I feel like this album is what I think IS 2000’s pop. Surprised there isn’t a hit on the album with the amount of solid tracks on here. Aguilera’s voice is also just mmmmmm so good
Quite a fun album but a lil forgettable… like I liked the songs in it, but i couldn’t remember a track once it ended. Saying that, pretty good for early 70’s stuff.
Oh I KNOW people gonna hate this album to pieces, don’t even need to look at the reviews to see that. Beautiful 90’s electronica with nice choice of sampling, great drums, and gets better with every song. I knew it would be a baller album when the “when time becomes a loop” bit played for 2 minutes in the nice stereo sound bit at the VERY START OF THE ALBUM. crazy producers like to do crazy things to almost gatekeep their albums from the folk who wouldnt like it haha.
i don't have much to say... it's just an album. Bob Dylan doesn't excite me nor bores me - he just exists and i listen and think nothing. 3/5 because it's in the middle.
Kinda gave like 80’s rock album but done in the 2000’s lmao. Cool stuff esp that hit song haha
There was like 2 good tracks on this album, better than the other Morrissey album handed to us. His voice is less bad his other projects
One of my friends loves this album and ngl when I heard some songs from this it didnt click. But when I heard the full album I was pretty surprised at how much of a vibe this soft rock album has. Pretty good with its instrumentation and its ability to move away from “conventional stuff”.
Honestly surprised to learn this is an album from 2002 - this has such a mid 90’s style to it. Tho saying that, going off that era, this wasn’t special for the time so yeah. Enjoyable experience tho
album that is like "yeah i can see why this album inspired people to make the stuff i enjoy lots but since it's in that groundworks stage it's a bit less good" but i loved the synths and the tracks without Nye were baller
i was pondering on my review on this album until i heard smoke on the water live and was like "OMG MY DAD TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY THAT LIKE 10 YEARS AGO OMG THAT'S SO COOL" and yea that's very cool. also a teacher recced me this album and i finally can say i've heard it. nice rock .P
This is my father’s favourite band and I get why. Super high level production with a mixture of jams and experimental synth work. Plus I love the bass, I use basses with almost the exact same sound.
good old irish folk. def not what i had in mind going into this album, but it such was a delight on a cold winter morning. esp loved the waltzing Matilda track at the end
this was insane finding out that like this wasn't on spotify - so i listened to it 50 days later... i'm shocked this was removed cause it was lowkey cool but i get why.
I get the hype. It’s so powerful but also like also kinda relaxing as well… good blend. Not typically a fan of metal but I’d vibe to this
THERE WAS ONE GOOD SONG ON THIS. I’m glad IS THE ONLY REASON WHY THIS ISNT A 1/5. 60’s psychedelic rock SUCKS AND I CANT STAND IT. Omg wow how good does drugs make music, hahahaahahahhaha. It’s boring, whilst trying to be pretentious. AND THIS ALBUM GOES ON FOR 70 MINS ???????? ALSO WHATS UP WITH THE PANNING ON THIS ALBUM????? The sound and mixing engineer should never be allowed to be on any other records because this is such a piss poor job of how to treat music. Also the main singer just sounds drunk the whole album, ur not a vibe… Edit. I wrote this 2 songs before the ending. Oh god. How bad are the last 2 songs. How did this even pass production. They approved this?????
This was much more Japan then Japan was lmao (I got them last week so yeah). Pretty middle of the road 70’s rock so that’s sick stuff.
TikTok would have loved this if it existed back in the 60’s. Short and sweet and very fun, also rip that member who died :(
this was EXACTLY what i needed at like 5pm after a long friday work shift.... beautiful voice aretha has, feat the better version of a bunch of people have covered. what a queen <3
VIBES JUST ABSOLUTE VIBBESSSS mmmm i didn't care the songs were 10mins each they were just vibes nom nom nom
one of my music teachers is obsessed with tom waits. i can't even lie this just gives off making music for music "elitists". not a bad album just has some bad parts, but the good parts are mmmmmmmmm.
a world album with influences from blues, gotta say these albums are the reason why i do this. honestly could do with more african influence as it half felt like the record label wanted to turn it down but nevertheless a vibe
man what where they doing pre london calling omg. i'm so glad they picked up their act for that album because this is just kinda bland but also the vocals are such an ick. the drummer baller tho
I found it so funny on the first track when he was like “tell me if you like it, cause I’ll make more of this if you like”, if I’m not 60 years too late to this haha. It’s one of those albums ur grandpa has in his collection which is spinning weirdly cause it’s been played that many times. Would love to hear this with a bunch of crackling on it, kinda was made in mind of that lmao.
This is just a Queen compilation album with just a little bit of differences cause it was live haha.
these guys ARE METAL. tho it's hard to say it as the guys who kinda made metal into what metal is. cool stuff overall.
a "skip" album for me... quite forgettable and the sauce probably lies in the lyrics where i don't pay attention to... nice mixing tho for the time
this was good but i can't give it more then a 2... i just didn't vibe with it at all, but it was good music. the 60's singer songwriter stuff i just don't like.
look. i know a bunch of people will say this is the greatest album of all time and be firm on this. i can understand why, it's just. this is my 3rd singer songwriter album in a row, and like... i do not like the genre. i can appreciate what it's done for music as a WHOLE but this is just not it. the harmonica solos also like are just annoying lmao
this album was awesome, once i found out it was a motown album i knew i was in for a TREAAAAATTTT. always great stuff.
My only experience with shoegaze is my bloody valentine and this random vocaloid album so it was awesome hearing more cleanish shoegaze. Call me a fan of the genre
awesome music, i can't even lie, i love loopy house like music for ever and ever. i just wonder, why THIS album. i know so many other albums in a similar vibe which have a better grasp on the genre which are better which aren't on here (like cassius omg)
look. this was just ur average cash album lmaooooooo. nothing special
A mixed bag album - liked some of it and disliked others, it’s just VERY silly. It’s also kinda disco which is very fun
look this sounds like bjork if she was british and it was made like maybe 20 years later with a completely different field of mind haha. this is the sorta singer songwriter stuff i liked. liked the song with trumpet
Yeah John Lennon makes some cool stuff, just a nice and consistent album :)
Some alt album trying to be more than what it’s worth just cause it’s an hour 20 long. Not bad just, alright?
Yeah this album was not it for me - too messy (which I kinda get it’s the style) and nothing really flowed… great guitars tho
Look, I’m not too into folk rock, most of this is just a lesser version of the Australian folk rock stuff that has released since, tho kinda impressive for the late 60’s. Liked that one jazz inspo song tho
Good album overall, just a lil long in my opinion. A lot of it was just filler but the hits HIT mmmmm
The problem I’ve found with this 1001 is that gave me Illmatic FIRST, so every single hip hop album from the 90’s is instantly compared to that, and since that’s the goat, hard to beat. This was pretty good nevertheless, I did like the sampling more and more throughout the album, but nothing really rememberable.
hmmmm. i have to think that they weren't JUST in it for the money. my main issue with most 60's music is that i find it too bland, but this opens with just, idk how to describe noises, and that's awesome. not something i'd revisit but an album i'm glad to have listened to
Stevie Wonder is such a talent to the world. Whilst not his best album, this album is just… so insane. Every song oozes with charm and fun, it’s like you get transported to another world of just soul and vibes. I knew half the album also haha. Phenomenal listen on my morning commute
I didn’t know just changing the language to French makes 90’s hip hop like 20x cooler. It is a vibbbbeeeee with how his flow and the samples behind it are so simple yet effective.
give this to me more then like a year ago and i wouldn't of liked it - give it to me now and i'm enjoying it - it's rock and roll but has SOUL in it. and not just soul, but SOUL.
this sounded like one of those "anti piracy" ad sorta music. like it was tryna be cool, and to be honest, it was cool. 90's pysch rock mixed with breakbeats is a fun combo and i hope it's something again. also shoutout chemical brothers for the 2nd goated album (even tho this is a 3/5 compared to their last 4/5)
pretty middle of the road art rock album - has it's place esp for being a post 2004 album so yea
Forgettable prog rock - nothing of substance and just kinda noise throughout the album. Not bad but just bland
What do I need to say about this album that hasn’t be said already?
I was half in doubt and half in interest when I told my father about this album prior to listen to it and he was like “OH THIS ALBUM IS AWESOME”. Turns out he was right. Damn. Awesome alt rock with insane production like it doesn’t have a bad track in it at all.
What a… bad electronic album. Look, I listen to ALOT of the genre and this is probably the bottom of what I’ve heard. I’ve heard beginner producers make 5x better stuff than this. Tho saying that they did make an absolute banger on this absolute, bingo bango alone nearly pushed this to a 3 hahaha. But I’m not that kind so yea
It was punk for sure haha. Reminded me of a band I played in for a lil while which played similar sorta music haha
So much RDR2 vibes in this as someone who beat it yesterday omg
pretty awesome album - it's actually awesome pop music mmmmm with so much different inspos with great vocals
I can’t believe this is one of the biggest exports in the UK scene ??? Like really??? Not that I didn’t enjoy it a lil, but like it’s not that good of a rap album. The sampling is nice, some vocals but overall it just falls extremely flat
2 because it’s below average. The Beatles are influential, but it doesn’t means I particularly enjoy listening to them. Like it’s such an important part of musical history and that’s really my only enjoyment of this album.
Awesome metal but I’m not into metal.
I mean yeah this is the first heavy metal album which is pretty quirky but I do like how much other stuff they’ve packed into this album, it’s so so much interesting instrumentation and that’s pretty neat
Id say this is pretty enjoyable background music. The art rock influence in this album is pretty awesome, and loved it when it went to more experimental bits :)
I think the only reason people like Bob Dylan is because of the time. Like if I was stuck in the 60's and he was on, i guess i would suffice listening to him (even though jazz at that time >>>>>>>>). The more of him i listen to, the more i dislike it esp that ANNOYING HARMONICA PLZ REMOVE IT.
omg these are the peeps who made our house. pretty baller ska type beats across the album mmmm
I love the instrumentation in this - it’s so rich and I love whilst it’s a folk rock album, they’ve taken so much liberties in making it as genre fluid as they could for the time. Nice listening experience - wouldnt mind listening to it in the car.
Instrumentally I wouldnt rate this as high as I have - it’s just alright rock music. But since the rock isn’t that like impactful, I almost had to focus in on the lyrics, which was a shock to hear how powerful they are, always love an album talking about gender norms and breaking them. Note: I hadn’t listened to the last song before writing this - the last song is def the best one on the album. Love me my ragtime? music.
Exactly what i would think from a Peter Gabriel album like... good vocals and alright backings. Had Solsbury Hill on it so it gets a 3 haha
I always find Aerosmith to be one of those cool 70’s bands and this def lives up to that legacy !
Was a lil skeptical about the title of the album but listening to this it kinda grooved. Shocked for 60’s music haha I’m low-key disappointed from the decade typically.
A funk world album is such an awesome combo and I really hope there’s more of it on the list later on mmmmmmm
This album is alright but i'd prob give peak Bee Gees a 3 and this is kinda not as good as yea. Nice singing tho
this is just not a 5 star album. what a masterclass of an album for the drum and bass scene in the 90's. whilst it's long length at a bit over 2 hours, it doesn't have a bad moment throughout it's whole listen. i love the genre - and have made some myself, so it's a cool listen to see what the "best" of the genre in the 90's was like. solid 9/10 album.
Middle of the road Beatles album, nothing too special from it compared to their white album or abbey road.
Quirky swingly big band with a funkiness of blues. Cool fun but a lil repetitive
It’s just hip hop fun. I love their licensed to ill album and this is just a slightly more modern version of their work - and I love their sampling too
cool singer songwriter stuff from the 2000's, and if an album has as much trumpet in it as this does, i'm gonna enjoy it. also what a cool album concept wise
Honestly a bit of a bland album in all, it’s not that memorable and instantly in the auto queue afterwards there was a cover of Valerie by them which was like… way better then anything in that album. Made me a lil disappointed
This is so standard and atypical 80’s glam rock which I wonder why did they include it - maybe as a benchmark to rate all the other albums off of ? Wish it had more going for it
Very soft and beautiful album. I always can appreciate a nice jazzy (but also very poppy) album on an overcast / slightly raining day. Just not enough to get a 4 tho
I listened to this album with my mum, and she described it the best “If I was in the 60’s and at a bistro, this is the perfect music that would be playing behind all the banter”. Perfectly summed up, it’s nicely spaced and has enough interesting stuff to be like “oooh that was nice from x”
This is like the opposite of reggae music but I think u need drugs to appreciate this album as much as the artist wanted you to. Me on a tiring bad Friday morning - not at all in the right mood for this. It was “cool” but not interesting
It’s hard to like an album if you hate the genre it’s based off of - I am not a fan of country one bit. Whilst this is a good demonstration of the genre and nice playing from the guitar - I just can’t like it.
This was very comforting - good length because it would have dragged if was longer. Esp liked the last song with it’s theming
If it was just the Instrumentals ? probably a 3, but I dislike these sorta vocals IMMENSIVELY. i'm sure the lyrics have really good meaning but i don't pay attention to them... i liked the last track the best cause he barely talked in it
this is beautiful string heavy pop, which i loved mostly every single track. the vocals were amazing and the vibes are just mmmmm.
This is a fun album. Is it a good album? Not really, but it’s fun. The same drums and vocals are throughout this whole album and it’s almost like one 29 minute long song. Maybe id give it a 3 if I didn’t already listen to this album this year already, it’s not the sorta album to listen to more then once in your life
You can tell it’s their debut album cause it feels so raw and unpolished - but hey how awesome huh. I rate this album and it’s def above the pack for the era it dropped in.
Look, I love funk, but this kinda missed the mark. Not like bad missed the mark, it just doesn’t have that hook to it to make it be a proper special album. It has its fun moments but it really drags at times.
This is one of the worst albums i've heard so far - but not a one because those are reserved for the WORST things in existence. Terrible voice, most songs are boring but there was some nice moments in here overall, esp with the songs with strings in it.
Beautiful jazz from Ellington, 2 hours of just… nice solos and playing from the whole band.
another morrissey album?????? help us all, this was alright but not even his best so like 2/5 here we GOOOOO
I find with a lot of the entries from the 60’s I’m looking at them too much from a current perspective rather than a complete overlook of the album. Realistically I found this to be alright - nothing special, solid roots but nothing to make it pop. But, that’s just the time it’s being played in. If I was in the 60’s and there wasn’t too much else to obsess over, I wouldn’t mind.
I'm a little disappointed - i got prince and was expecting this amazing album and what i got was a random collection of songs that loosely have a theme today - it's not bad in any way but nothing special or something i'd ever revisit
A lot of “not bad but not anything spectacular” albums at the moment - I did like the sax parts in this album, so that made it a lil more listenable.
Below average 60's pop, like i get the hype of the band it's just 60's fun and i'm not into that 60's stuff so i find it to be pretty, like, alright.
Very revolutionary for being a 1950’s album for sure - pretty well mixed as well, nothing id ever listen to again but something I’m glad to hear!
