1001 Albums Summary

Presley has a lovely voice but it has been parodied to death nowadays and isn't as pleasant to me as it would be otherwise. I can definitely hear the R&B/Soul influence. The songs are good on their own but the whole album becomes boring once they meld together. Favourite track: Blue moon

Nice easy-listening study music. This is my first time actually listening to real jazz. Favourite track: Alice in Wonderland

I thought the singer sounded familiar before track 4 hit and I realized this is the band that made that "we are young" song that's in every commercial LOL! Great album, lots of raw emotion. But "We're Not Supposed To" is awful. Faves: I'd Like to Know, Strange Ones, Sofia of my Lethargy

Mid. Not great but not unlistenable either. Favourite track: East St Louis Toodle-oo

Wonderful and classic album! I think I'm becoming a jazz fan. Favourite tracks: Blue Rondo, Take Five

Not a fan. The lead singer's voice is very unpleasant to me and the songs all blend together, each one is individually repetitive and that makes the whole album boring. Favourite tracks: Spell, O Children

Good transitions between songs. I really hate this singer's voice. I don't like how rock music tends to disregard their lead singers having good voices. At least it's unique. I recognized this band because of their song "Use Somebody", which I expected to be in this album, but it wasn't. Favourite Tracks: N/A

Fantastic album! I can tell this band was a huge influence for Childish Gambino and Silk Sonic. Favourite track: Summer breeze

My first time listening to West African music, and it was wonderful! I found the style of singing and the different percussion really fascinating and unique. Favourite track: Daande Lenol

Decent but not a standout. I recognized some familiar tunes. Favourite track: My Girl

First time listening to OG gangsta rap. Really great insight into racism and Black struggles in the early 90s. Favourite track: The n**** you love to hate

Singer has a lovely voice which made me happy. Nice chill vibes but some of the songs got repetative after a while. Don't think I'll listen again. Favourite track: Why can't we live together

Maybe this is a really incredible album... or maybe I'm just blinded by nostalgia. I love U2. Favourite Track: Wild Honey

Not a fan. The lyrics felt disconnected from the music, like the instrumental was written completely separately from the lyrics and then the singer just tried to make it fit. Just unpleasant to listen to all-around. Favourite Track: What became of the likely lads

My kind of album, love the harmonies and the juxtaposition of Silent Night with a news broadcast at the end was really unique. I would have appreciated a bit more variety though. Favourite track: Scarborough Faire

Non-stop? Yep. Erotic? Definitely. Cabaret? Ehhh.... Besides their one hit wonder Tainted Love and a few other tracks this album isn't a standout. Few songs were excellent and others were just bad. But I love the overall vibe, and the transitions between songs were nice. Good but I don't think I'll listen again. Favourite track: Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

I don't really have much to say about this album. Favourite track: Mannish Boy

I really appreciate any sort of country-fusion, particularly country rock fusion. This album was fantastic at getting an even blend of country and rock, when a lot of the time albums billed as "country rock" are 90% rock and 10% country. Felt pretty jarring to hear country music sung with British accents though haha. I think they could have done a better job at getting the folk instruments to blend with the electric instruments, especially on Flitcraft. I didn't like their lead male singer's voice at all. Favourite track: Hard to be Human Again
