1001 Albums Summary

very long and too much ambient. Definitely really strong high points and needs to be listened to very loud

Solidly mid, not really my type of music

great album, liked the melody and young kanye features

More intentionally ambient than the wall, and more cohesive and shorter (even though I suppose shine on is like 15 minutes lol)

too funky? too sexual? too repetitive?

terrible, as if beck got soft and joined a singalong cult

not all bad but not really my type of music

get yourself a room, kate

solid album, simple man is a highlight they really know how to handle steel strings and a harmonica

Not bad, but nothing to write home about and maybe the classics on this one are overplayed

not my favorite, not terrible

now this is a solid banger

meh, overplayed

pretty basic, a bit too emo rock

kinda fun but whats even going on here?

very groovy, had a lot of fun listening to this one

quite good, fun to hear songs I've only heard sampled or referenced

good but maybe too much harmonica and a bit repetitive

big meh

Quite good, especially towards the end with Smackwater Jack and You Make Me Feel

psychobabble but not in the fun to listen to way

OK, a bit depressive and too neil young vocals but the melodies were pretty good and catchy overall

very solid, lotsa bangers

some fun songs, some really whiny and repetitive vibes

scratchy voice is not for me

some garbage rock in here but the majority are anthems and get the frisson going

super cool

big meh. one good song with bad moon rising

highly mid

Only Elegia was really cool and maybe its really because I don't like the vocals on this band?

too ambient? like I didn't even notice this on in the background? So much bowie on this list and this is the first one I get?

pretty fun, a bit creepy vocals at times but overall good

fine but too freewheeling for an album imo. this would be great live I'm sure but has very little structure

pretty ridiculous, fun sometimes with the steel strings

very wu tang, forever

obvi a classic, but the one song is far better than the sum of the album

better than a lot of the beatles stuff but still kinda whiny. title track is obvi a classic

kind of a sad album, lots of rough topics. good music overall, but not my favorite of their albums

bangers

very fun, sometimes got a bit too kate bush but most of it was better than expected

This was weird, but somehow I recognized some songs?

I want to know the real story behind beth! but ya this was fun but really few songs I would listen to again

obvi a solid album, if not a bit full of itself

very fun! almost all of it I would listen to again

super classic, some really weird moments (blowjob sound)

a bit too folksy for my taste but there were good times here, and wtf happened at the end there?

fukin weird

fun, funky, and a bit weird

lots of good ones, a classic

only "take me out" is worth a listen, the rest is indy landfill

this was super boring imo

really note my vibe but there was some beauty in some of this

one of their better albums, I had forgotten that so many good songs are on this one!

very fun, lots of funky bass, some really solid songs. Excellent in the IEMs

really boring and not super good imo

truly a movie for the ears! not my favorite jazz, but very fun to listen to

bluegrass covers of classics by a pro, no complaints

this was pretty weird and not what I wanted to listen to at the time

not my type of rock, this is indie swill

very fun show to listen to

well executed but not something I would jam to on my own accord

meh

kinda boring ambient early edm

revolution and vampire blues were notable but this is generally kinda whiny

this was fine, a bit like the parts of tame impala that I don't love though

absolutely a great album

ehhhh pretty weird album, never really got into the groove. Didn't hear much musicality in the noise

very good musically, some off-color lyrics that put me off, and I definitely recognize this as smth that's been heavily sampled which is always fun

wet blanket

excellent, back when snoop was not a shill

musically very listenable but not super duper my vibe

ummm not sure how to describe my feelings other than yikes?

the good part about ambient music is you'll never know when the album ends!

not the best of alice in chains

awful

better than I expected but a lot of it was too much like paul simon

very good but not my favorite of their music

this was fun, good ol rock n roll

excellent album, some weird themes, lovefool is a classic

rockin!

Pretty meh. Not a big fan of fleetwood mac and it was very easy listening but nothing notably exciting

good in the background, not an album I'd put on to really listen to tho

not bad, nothing special

very fun, but kinda bummed a couple of the songs were unavailable on streaming in the us and I think those were the most-hyped singles releases? More nerdy-rap than the machismo rap I thought it would be

excellent, but not my fave album of his (a bit too slow?)

Titular track is the best on the album and it kinda fades from there but overall good album

cool but holy smokes this is long, and I kinda prefer more modern dnb but timeless is... timeless

excellent jazz if you're into that

not in love with folk music still

pretty boring, sorry george

lots of fun tracks

fun themes but overall a bit dreary (too brit?)

excellent album that really deserves its place on this list!

superfun!

excellent album, so many good ones. RIP Brian Wilson

kinda wish it had more space sounds, but this was chill

not my favorite, but because its pop for everyone of course its catchy

pretty good for the background, jazzy fun vibes

excellent, and quite different from what I remember listening to at 13

not my thing, kinda whiny

absolute banger of an album

excellent, fun live recording

not my taste but not bad

I want to like this way more than I do (bass-led rhythm? bongo percussion? sign me up!) but the vocals really kill it for me

some fine stuff but nothing notable

meh

good songs on here for sure, but some of these are pretty boring and the good ones are kinda overplayed

not super sure why this list has so many albums that are only known for one song, and not the cohesion of the album? Layla clearly stands far above the rest, and there are some better and some worse songs but the rest of these love songs really blend together

obvi a great one, but kinda freaky lyrics if you're paying attention

this is the musical equivalent of the 'Scratch' chapter at the end of The State of the Art, not really any fully fleshed out songs just a bunch of thoughts mixed with capitalist psychobabble

not bad, but this kind of jazz isn't my favorite listening

this is a great one! a bit dated (or maybe I just listened to this too much in middle school) but excellent tracklist

big meh. religious songs also? not for me. Not hard to listen to, so I'll give it 2 stars

totally a great album, lots of good songs and super solid start with Respect

Sinatra is obviously a great singer, but this album wasn't my favorite as a project and I'd rather listen to a compilation of his than an album as it doesn't hold a lot as a project to me

more soulful than I expected, and some notable songs, but a bit preachy at times

this is insane music, and I used to love it way more than I do today! Some fun songs, but holy smokes this energy is too angry for me just right now

excellent, super chill, the office loved it, and jesse pulled out t he incense for the vibe

actually quite good as I don't typically vibe with ol BJ

this was very cool, why am I just learning that I love the operatic subgenres of my favorite media?

can't stand bob dylan, sorry

titular track is a classic but the rest could be forgotten, nothing too inspirational

this is a fun album, not what I'd listen to on the daily but interesting sound

big meh, except the obvious winner with 1.5B views

super chill, nice and fun and good vibes. Didn't love the last song with the kid but overall very good

excellent album, truly some golden days for kanye

chill, kind of gave 80s rock meets crystal castles at some points, but crystal castles obviously learned from them

i guess this is the best beck album

pretty mid

kinda boring, didn't make it to the end but i don't plan to finish

This was super cool and very a propos on halloween weekend!

fun, a bit dated with the material (a lot of hip hop is not PC, but this was so in kind of a cringey way) and the B-boy bouillabaisse at the end was probably the best set of songs

not every bowie album belongs on this list...

goodish album, a bit creepy today

some good ones but mostly too noisy

cool album and impressive this is mostly just the one guy, but not my favorite QOTSA album

very cool, great music for working

the chronic is way better than this, and snoop has since entirely sold out so I wasn't super into this album. Gin & Juice is cool but otherwise nothing much to write about

a lot of good songs on this album, but as usual the white stripes exhibit a weird energy of "sibling or lover? we'll never know!" and the last song really nails that even harder

not too bad, pretty chill and fun

excellent music, janis can really sing

sad album, but it is very americana and interesting if not my type of daily jam

excellent album

Really good musically overall, not sure what it is I don't particularly like about the allman bros band but it just doesn't fully resonate with me

Pretty meh except for the one hit epic

not my favorite lo-fi, alright background music

ok, not really my vibe, quite repetitive

some fun parts with the guitar, otherwise not too memorable

some good songs but as an album this one doesn't impress me in the nirvana discog

this group has never been my jam, sounds like movie credits music or smth

very cool, wish I had seen this one live

Absolute banger of an album

how many times have I heard this album and the songs still sound all the same?

interesting, not my fave

pretty good, a bit too gospel at times for my taste

classic angry but not too angry U2!

rockin

rock opera

no notes, takes me back to moms minivan

not bad, but I'd really rather see a live jazz performance than listen to one on headphones

this was cool and theatrical

super fun originals, wild covers

not my cup of tea but not hard to listen to, either

walk on the wild side is super cool, but the rest is kinda meh

woof... too much squelching and squealing for my taste. Tainted love is a banger but this is another example of a song that deserves to be on the list of best songs but the album has no place on the list of best albums

very cool

definitely a good xmas album, but xmas music is only good once a year

whiny and lowkey creepy

snoozefest

masterpiece

not my favorite, not terrible it is a vibe

snooze, clocks remixes are better than clocks

didn't love this, not my genre/era I suppose

Love dusty

too much harmonica

not for me

very fun, not all the best though

mid, just like the burbs

excellent album, often absurd and surrealist in the content

fun, upbeat, classic. Not something I'd just throw on, so not full rating

very cool

this slaps

awesome
