1001 Albums Summary

Ok but nothing new I liked

Classic

Not really my jam. A concept album with too many lutes etc

Excellent

Cracker

Easy listening classic 70's

Not my jam

Very dated

Fantastic. All time fave

Not bad. Bit too old school jazzy for my tastes

Better than I thought

Tough at the start but grew on me

Very enjoyable

OK. Middle of the road

Overly long and tedious

Yikes. Hated it

Fantastic

Ok. Didn't jump out at me like their others

Was ok. Nothing sounded particularly original

Was ok. Not a fan of her voice

It was fine but still had the repetitive nature of the genre

Classic

Good. Liked it. Hadn't heard many of it's songs before

Ok. Has a lot of meaning as his last album and unmistakably Bowie

Moody. Have listened twice. Very good

Classic example of big hair rock. Saw then play a couple of years ago and loved it

Great. Had heard the obvious Lust For Life and Passenger before but the rest was new to me. Has been on rotation since

Cheesy mixed in with unlistenable tripe

Great rock tunes. Catchy AF

Reasonable. Pump it up is always a banger

Easy laid back early fm guitar rock

Didn't grab me at all.

Started off catching my interest but faded as it went along. Bit sameish

The best songs are far better than the rest of this album

Great album

Exactly as expected

Not my jam at all. Nasal mumbling.

I had expected a much harsher dissonate sound, instead I loved it

I'm a Cure fan but this one is not a fave

Started well but lost momentum

Fine. Nothing really stood out

Cheesy breathy boy band hoo hah very much of its time

I was not happy to see this one come up. I expected some self indulgent experimental prog rock. Instead this an absolute banger. Will definitely be playing again

Very enjoyable

Overly cheesy. Not for me

Loved it. Soft Shock is a banger

Good. Much better than I was expecting. Much more bluesy and less whiny

Couple of catchy songs but the rest was a bit grating. I always liked Animal Nitrate. I think their Britpop contemporaries were much better than this offering.

Excellent. So many great tracks. Played it back to back multiple times

Fine. Didnt pack the punch I was expecting from a band trailblazing the hard rock scene

I reckon I liked it more as I had it when it came out than I would if I heard it the first time now. Always loved "No sleep til brooklyn'

Unremarkable

Bit bluesier than I was expecting. Some weird lyrics. Didn't float my boat.

Meh

Good. Could get into it a bit more

Borderline unlistenable

Tremendous. Can listen to it over and over

Ok. Nothing jumps out at me that I didn't already know

Heaven is a fave of theirs. Rest as expected

Excellent

Liked the pop stuff, not the rap, and the ballads were a bit painful

I tried but the arrangements were all over the place

Not my thing

Enjoyed it. Surprised I knew so many of the songs

Very very whingy

Awful

Cheesy pop I didn't like when it came out, still dont

Not just not my thing, there also wasn't a single song that piqued my interest

All good, nothing jumped out at me

Not great

Excellent. Moody and catchy at the same time

Enjoyed but a bit too long

All good. All catchy

Fantastic. Every song had me tapping away

I've never heard these guys but have heard a heap of bands that sound exactly the same. Entirely unmemorable

Great samples, great production.

Wasn't looking forward to it, didn't enjoy at it all

Easy to listen to. Quite a few I knew, didn't know they were all on the one album

Cracking album. Loved the way he moved between genres

Thought I would hate it but turned out ok. Had more punk sound than I expected

Absolute belter. Had it blaring. Not a weak song on the album

Very good. Elvis in his element. Suspicious minds is a fave

Never heard of her. Passable easy listening with a few interesting tracks

Pretty good. I had only heard Paper Planes before. Started a bit abrasive until I got into vibe

Nothing overly fantastic. Not sure about the slide whistley thing

I was looking forward to this but found it very bland

A few great tracks. Last Goodbye is amazing, Hallelujah is haunting. Rest peters out a bit.

Some interesting moments and some grating ones

I found this annoying as hell

Started great but the length of the songs eventually wears down the momentum

Bit bland, kinda predictable, easy background listening

Great album. Has some bangers from my youth. Listened to it a few times

I remember when this came out, it was being played at every bar and party I went to. I listened to it twice today. It's lost nothing

Perfect for the time. Still excellent

Easy grooves

Great album. Have it on vinyl. Played it back to back

Very peppy smooth jazz. All good

Started off ok but went on waaaaay to long and became irritating pop

Had never heard of this one. Really grew on me

The greats are excellent. Not much not great

Background not much of anything

Dreary atonal wankery

Really liked it. Hard to pin down a genre so most songs had my attention

Not sure why this one is on the list. It's elevator music

Had Bowiesque moments. Bit grudgy in spots

Nothing like I expected. Very blusey.

Chirpy but felt overly long

Pretty cool. I feel like I need to play it outdoors as the sunsets

An old fave. Has some banger highlights but doesn't stack up across all the tracks

Thought I'd be a bit annoyed by this one as I'm a bit annoyed in general by Moby. Full album had much more than just the well trodden songs

Was ok. Very much of its time & day of release

Was only able to listen to two songs, rest not available in my country. It's 2025, go figure. Anyhoo, the two I could hear didn't float my boat

Cracking album. Some absolute standouts.

There's too much history about Lennon to review this unpassionately so focusing on the lesser known tracks I was a bit underwhelmed. That said its high points are high.

Catchy, icon of an era

Enjoyable. Songs I hadn't heard much didn't jump out at me

Monotonous

Didn't grab me

An all time fave. Have it on Vinyl

Interesting rhythms and moody vocals.

Excellent 90's jangly guitar

Genre wise this should have been something I liked but it really grated on me

I never really got on this album as when it came out there was a bloke called Keith who I didn't like who always wore the t-shirt. I've since grown to love it

I had these guys pegged more as some experimental 70's prog rock rather than the country influenced sound they have. Godd stuff

Excellent. Will listen again

Another one not what I was expecting. The cover made me brace for heavy metal but it was heavy synth. Liked it

Quirky in spots, meh in others

Didn't grab me at all. Background music

Excellent. I've been playing it on repeat. Walk on by is genius

Full album of great songs. Will be playing it again

Classic. Shades of Metalica & AC/DC.

Classic Elvis. Hard to be neutral when his songs and influence are everywhere

Obviously a well played familiar classic. Still holds up fantastically well

Grabbed me early. Faded a bit at the end but will be playing it again

Music was obviously of its time. I was giving it a go but by half way through his voice was way too grating.

Great album. Didn't know much of their stuff but it's packed with rich tunes

Played it a couple of times. Rhythmic and cool

Abrasive. Not interested

Bit hard to tell as only three tracks were available for me to play. Region locking is rubbish. Anyhoo, what I heard was fine

Truly excellent. I've never listened to the whole album before, every song deserved to be there

Hard to be unbiased about this one as I have it on vinyl and have played it numerous times. Lies is one of my fave songs.

I was expecting it to be a bit harder. Not overly memorable

Pretty good. Bashed it out over coffee and set the mood for my day

Some high points where he was channeling Hendrix but mostly too smooth to get excited

Moody strumming

Middle of the road afro music

Had quite a few songs I've never heard and plenty where I liked a cover version more

Easy & moody

Fantastic. So many great songs. Riffs for days. Was going to give it 4 stars but listened multiple times, it's 5 stars all the way

Another album full of classics. Here comes the Sun is glorious. Felt it fell away towards the end, perhaps because the start is so strong?

Pedestrian easy listening. Why is it even on the list?

This was hard work. Not my jam, got nothing from it.

Expected something more funky. Started off strong but faded into schmaltz

Figured this would be ploddingly drab but ended up enjoying it much more than I though I would

Middle of the road big hair pop rock. No need to listen again

Soo cooool

Ok, way too repetitive. Bought back memories of De La Soul

Never really got into it when it came out, this listening didn't change anything. Some highlights but mostly the same each song

Very good. Not a genre I have time with but listened on repeat and checked out other similar artists

Hard work. Couldn't finish it

Very dated. Not much jumping out at me

Meh. I was expecting much more. Barely rates a mention

Cool but overall nothing that really jumped at me

Pretty good. Funk was ace but the moody slow stuff didn't grab me at all

This one has me a bit flummoxed. I listened twice and it had peaks of interest but faded in and out. I suspect with more listening more will stand out

Meandering nothing

Didn't grab me. I've always like Sound & Vision but the rest was a bit meh

Was ok. I expected more

Hard core for first thing in the morning. Another album where the highs are very high but some of the rest is middling. Still a banger though

Love it

Strong opening again. Not much setting it apart after that

I'm biased as this was something I grew up with. Still has me in it's grip. Great songs, had it repeat all day. Only this is I've never heard that hawaii hoohah at the end. Why include that? It's not on the vinyl version I own...

Was fine. Nothing jumped out much

Wow. I hated every moment of this. I ended up playing something else a couple of times to check my speakers were working. Awful

Fine. Want you to want me into Surrender is the highlight
