1001 Albums Summary

I mean cmon, it's thriller.

The overall theme of the album is incredible, but unfortunately suffers from the songs all repeating the same pattern and they kind of start blending together at the halfway point. But honestly really pleasant album to listen to.

It's just Midwest emo before Midwest emo was a thing. That's the only thing that makes it impressive, is the fact that this was never done before this album. After everyone figured out how to terribly sing over terrible instrumentals, though, it became just the same as every other. I couldn't even tell when one song started and another ended. But ya know what? When I don't listen too closely and just jam the music, it's not too bad.

Revolutionary and really fun album. Unfortunately it suffers from too many interludes and a few misses.

after listening to one song on the album you've listened to them all. It lacks any heart or soul. It's perfect advertisement music, I was getting visons of Toyota's and Nissan's booking it through remote desert landscapes.

really fun album, especially with nice headphones. Just some good ol' jazz. I was consistently a fan of songs where the piano takes the lead rather than the bass, but all the songs were consistent bangers.

Situational album, I gotta be in the mood for it, but when I am it hits SO hard.

Super powerful album. Crazy Production style too.

Crazy Production for the 60's, and above that the songs are ridiculously catchy and powerful.

i get the hate, the album strokes its own ego so hard and it has tons of filler. But the songs that hit, hit like a truck. Good ass guitar.

I try not to be too negative on albums because I believe that all music is art, but this was shit. Maybe I don't understand a certain message or theme that it's trying to convey, and I don't really care. I know for damn sure that I'm not listening to this album any more than I have just to find some, "meaning." My ears need a break and a few tissues to stop the bleeding.

I don't get the hate. It's inconsistent, but a fun rock album.

Super good rock album. Does so many new things and does them right. not a single miss.

One of the best rock albums I've listened to. Def coming back to this one

its not as bad as everyone says, but its also not nearly as good as any other rock album. Its Nickleback but if Nickleback was never catchy or sounded that good or had a crazy guitar riff or had any pazaz. Nickleback is good. This isn't very good.

I have to appreciate it for being very creative and different, but it doesn't leave room for fun songs. The songs in this album don't go anywhere. 9 times out of 10 the instrumental you hear at the start, is going to be the instrumental you hear throughout the entire song. Oh and also, all the rap tracks are buns. Not gonna come back to this one.

This album bangs. The lyrics and production is so powerful, not a single miss on this album. How is this not mainstream??

I mean the instruments are great, you can't argue that. Above that, this album is iconic. I came to enjoy the more casual songs over the dramatic pieces. I think his voice fits them better. His voice is like a Scottish dude doing an Elvis impression. Which isn't a compliment. if I could, I'd give this a 3.5, maybe even a 3.7. But I'm sure it'd be a great album to just throw on the record player and listen to it passively.

This was the coolest album I've ever freaking listened to. Imagine the Doors + Beatles + Sgt. Pepper + so so so so so much acid. what a trip.

I thought it was nice. Reggae holds a certain place in my heart. It's far from my favorite genre, but I still enjoy it. This album I definitely did. I love the themes and the slinky rhythms that came with it. one of my better listens on this site.

She has a great voice, and I'm sure if I liked this genre, I'd adore this album. But I don't really care for the genre. Still fun to listen to. I can't stress enough how consistently great her voice is throughout this album. If I could I'd rate it like a 3.5.

Yeah his lyrics are redundant, and sometimes offensive to the mind and to the ears, but frankly I don't really care. This was one of the most fun albums I've listened to on this project. The production is incredible, the flow is incredible, and his voice and delivery is incredible. Flawed, but fun and nice to listen to.

It's like Midwest Emo with more rock, which would be really cool if I liked Midwest Emo. Objectively really cool album but just wasn't 100% for me.

First song was awesome, then I heard the classic 70s rock guitar and I winced a little. But they made real good use of it, and it worked almost like a bassline. That brings me to the point that the instruments are awesome. But I really don't think his voice quite does it for me. Which sucks because that's like their thing. I kinda see him switch between a handful of voices and after I've heard it for the first time it immediately wears off for me. But outside of that, cool band, fun album, maybe I take them too seriously. It'd be an awesome album to put on a record or cd and passively listen to throughout the day. But when doing critical listening, I can say this album gets a tad redundant at times. If I could I'd give it a 3.5, but I'm leaning harder to a 3. Also, "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me." was an incredible song.

It's a little souless, but at times a pretty fun album. cooler than people give it credit for. Fuzzy was a banger.

What a fire album. Such a consistent style yet all the songs are unique. Great guitar, great drums, great album.
