1001 Albums Summary

It's an album that existed. If I was another person back when it was released, it might have really connected with me. Handshake and Future Reflections had musical moments I liked, the rest of it I either knew too well, or didn't care to know. Sorry MGMT, I'm not your audience. <3

I love percussion that sounds like someone's kicking down my door for 40 minutes. If I could have a fraction this album's energy in my day-to-day, then nothing could best me. The Beastie Boys' variety here is limited, but they do what they do best, and I can't argue with that - nor would I want to. Happy to have been introduced to Licensed To Ill.

Suffering. I have found out what genre I don't like, and it's called Neil Young. The best I have to say is that some of the instrumentals with the guitar in it are good, but then Neil starts singing and everything is ruined. Hell is a Cripple Creek Ferry.

Got a soft spot for Ray Charles. The music is from a bygone era, but still retains a lot of modern feeling, particularly in the faster tracks. Wouldn't really choose to listen to this, but I can appreciate it.

It's classic and chunky. Happy I listened to it, but I probably won't do so again.

Better than Led Zeppelin, if I was born in the 60's I would have been listening to this in some dark and danky corner. But I wasn't, so I'm not. Nice vibe, though.

Enjoyed the energy, some of the later songs in the album like Rage and Red White Blue were really good.

You know what, it's not my genre but this was really easy listening. really good voice, chill instruments, here for that this eve.

Nice hip-hop, always here for some hip-hop. Nice sampling in there as well.

Hey that was really good! Love the solos, songs were long but when you're having fun it ain't bad.

Not really my thing, but I appreciate that The Rolling Stones exist.

Unexpected - took a while to get into it, but it's an amazing piano album.

Middle of the road for me, but I can see where a lot of famous samples came from. Happy to hear Jacques You Body again <3

I'm just not here for them. Some of the songs in the middle are nice enough, but I don't see myself listening to this album again.

Really really lovely. The lyrics painted amazing pictures in my head, it was a gentle album with so much to say. Hey, my first five star!

I like the energy in the earlier songs, and the harsher rough vocals. The popular ones are good hits, the rest didn't do much for me. I feel bad saying bad about Blondie though, she's lovely.

DNF, it was fine but didn't move me in any which way.

Not on the level of Taylor Swift's Evermore, but I really like this album and the general genre of music. So easy to listen to while working, captures a feeling from the early 2000's that feels so accurate of that time. Love it.

DNF, lost energy as I made my way through it.

The classics are amazing, the songs around it not so much. Close to a 5 star, still a good listen.

No.

Improv jazz is regrettably not my thing, so while each track starts off nice, it dissolves into jazzy mess not long after. To each their own.

Three stars for the genre, knew I Want You To Want Me from 10 Things I Hate About You. The album is fine, but boring.

Really good album, got better the further I went through it. Classic dark hip-hop, love it.
