1001 Albums Summary

Really good. I liked it.

Solid. Really enjoyable vibe. Nothing super new about this other than that there is a nice Mali feel to an old genre. 3/5, would bop again.

I recognize the importance of this record, but I find the songs annoying.

Enjoyable. Really liked the 'Pyramids' track. 4/5.

Good. I liked it. Definitely ahead of its time, but I don't know much it is my vibe. 4/5 would probably listen again, but not in a hurry to.

Classic thrash record. RIP Cliff.

I like this album. It's got a punk vibe, but a calm sing song-y presentation. Borderline spoken word verses suits the music well and definitely feels very 1993 which it is. 4/5. Stratford-On-Guy stands out to me, great song.

Don’t love this. Gonna bring in rock and blues elements to your rap album? 4 years after RATM made it pointless for anyone else to try?? I don't think so. I mean, it's fine, I guess. Won't ever listen again.

5/5 about as good as a debut can be. No skips.

Obvious 5/5. Legendary record.

Not into reggae. Clearly an important record with an important message, but I find the songs repetitive. Not for me.

I love The Cars. I love this album. Every song is catchy, fun, and a hit. No notes.

Good melodies, lot of fun. Not my favorite of 70s jazz, but I enjoyed the afrobeat elements, and I'll likely explore more of his catalogue.

I've tried to get into the Cure a few times, and it's not usually my jam. I really like this album, though. Very atmospheric without being tedious. I enjoyed A Forest, At Night, and the title track in particular.

A lot more enjoyable than What's the Story. Just fun, digestible britpop. They're still kind of annoying, though.

Rating is how much I enjoy it, not its influence or relevance.

Really dig this! The only thing I don't love is how "80s" the production sounds, but such as it it, I still love this.

Extremely poppy jazz. The production quality is insane. Not the kind of thing I bop to, but this is an undeniably good record. 5/5

It's good. Enjoyable, some of the vocal work was a bit annoying, same with some of the cheesier guitar bits. Creative project, though, I like it. 4/5

This fucking sucks

Maybe not the most exciting music, but a masterpiece of poetry and mood.

Man, this is tedious. I don't care for it. Lot of skilled musicianship and production, but it is clearly drawing from a lot of 80s pop rock sound. I don't know, this is some Free Willy soundtrack type stuff I can't get behind. 2/5 listen, 3/5 for the hard work and skill that went into making this.

I don't know why it shows me the previous album's comments after I've saved comments for this album. So annoying.

Obviously hugely influential, and there's a lot to like. Catchy melodies, fun riffs, really great. A bit cheesy for me.

Never listen to Police outside of the hits. Most of the album feels like Thin Lizzy and Bowie influences with some english proggy elements. It's pretty good.

Really pleasant listen and very evocative of that counterculture movement. Just good folky pop music, idk what to even call it. It's obvious why its so revered.

Lots going on here. Irish folk elements, bob dylan emulation. It's folksy, catchy, borderline annoyed me. There was one song that made me want to turn it off, but I vibed with the rest. 3.5/5, but I'll give it a 4, feeling nice.

One of the better post beatles projects. All good stuff in here, still could have been edited down.

Slaps.

Legendary.

5/5 performance, 3/5 originality, 4/5 listen.

A lot to like about this album. The falsetto wasn't among them. Love the kind of medieval vibe to some of the songs, fiercely anti-war message, and the instrument accompaniments. Kind of tedious in the end. 3.5/5. Rounding up to 4 because I'm in a good mood.

Great musicianship, production, sound, but the lyrics were such hot garbage I had to turn it off. I love angry music, but make it angry about oppression and injustice, not petty dramas. I don't know. Giving it a 2 because it genuinely sounds fantastic, but just unlistenable. Weird combo.

Man, I don't care for this. I get why it was popular, but I find it silly. It's very 80s, but not in the fun new wave way that I like. Too poppy/cheesy.

One of my favorite albums of my teen years. Still so great.
