1001 Albums Summary

Their best album.

Kids these days don't realize The Chairman released like 12 albums that were four to five stars in the span of 6 years. This was the 5th one.

Some classics on here, but you can also tell they'd lost the magic. It feels more like everyone just doing their own thing rather than working together.

Paul is the one that really flourished after the band split. His albums seemed the most cohesive.

One of my favorite debut albums from one of my favorite bands.

Radiohead feels like a prank band to me, I do not understand them.

Literally nothing but bangers, it's unreal.

Really makes me want to start a garage band except I'm 40 and don't own a garage. Or have musical talent.

There's a great EP buried in this album.

Britpop just isn't my thing, but this wasn't terrible or anything.

Probably my least favourite of JT's, but a killer solo debut regardless.

Far from their best live album, but still a classic.

Epic electric guitar. Too much electric organ for my taste though.

Great concert for a bunch of ungrateful British twats.

Britpop again. Mediocre again. Gets you moving if you think soccer is thrilling, peas should be mushy, and you drink hot tea all day

One of the best albums ever.

I'm Italian-American, it's physically impossible for me to rate this anything less. The second I turned it on a plate of just appeared in my hand.

Lots of classic tracks on this one

This was over an hour long and sounded like music they play in high end clothing stores with dark lighting in the mall. I hated it.

Such a good time, loved this.

Reminds me of summer in the 90s, I love it. Surprisingly it's biggest hit, the cover of Mrs. Robinson is its weakest track.

Kids today don't realize this was the only listenable CD your new age hippie aunt had, the rest were like Enya and shit like Star Noises Vol. 4: Sounds of Saturn.

There are certainly bands I hate worse than The Doors, but they are definitely very low on my list.

So I guess a substantial chunk of the 1001 list is just the editor reliving his beloved British rave days in the 90s? Is that what he's doing to us?

An 80s classic, love it.

Ian Curtis gone way way too soon. This album is perfect.

"Curtis it's just a B movie about a pimp, you don't have to go crazy and record one of the best soundtracks of all time."

Not a big West Coast hip hop fan. This had some great beats on it though, but not into the lyrics. Also so glad rap moved past the skits where the rapper is just making fake sex noises for a minute.

Just a beautiful nosy haze to get lost in for a while, I love it.

All bangers front to back, I didn't think I would like this one as much as I did.

The first true gangsta rap album and his beef was with the US Government, its fucking awesome. Ice was angry and made a great record from it.

They say if you listen to this album while watching the first FACES OF DEATH on VHS and rolling your eyes back like the Undertaker that your dad finally comes back from the store with cigarettes and milk.

It's not bad, but you don't need to listen to it before you die.

Not really sure why'd you'd need to hear this before you die. It's not bad, but it's not very remarkable or memorable either.

Not my favorite Kinks album, but some excellent tracks on here.

Unreal how many negative reviews on here for this incredible album. Tom Waits is one of the greatest musicians and songwriters of all time and this is one of his best.

Exquisite piano playing.

Jazz always sounds better at The Vanguard.

In Da Club remains a banger.

Bring back fun rap.

My favorite rap album of all time, timeless and important.

PAINKILLER is their better album, but this one rocked!

Part of a chain of like 5 albums Stevie put out that were perfect. It's great.

One of the most beautiful voices to ever sing a song.

It's weird and it's subversive and best of all you can dance to it. The world needs more music like this.

Literally unreal how perfect this album is.
