1001 Albums Summary

I like dis

I liked the beginning of the album a lot but got a lil bored in the middle

I don’t think I really like most hip hop

not as good as morning glory but a bloody banger of a debut album if 15 yo me has anything to say about it

Sucker for a bamboo flute and mallets.

Is this dream pop? I got bored.

Back half of the album - starting with disarm - is where this really gets going for me. I like this album mostly because you can hear the beginnings of what you get in later albums like mellon collie

Not exactly an easy listen, but a very influential album and I like it a little more every time I hear it

I liked things about it like the dramatic piano bits, but I probably won’t listen to this again

This is the album for you if you gotta have the funk but idk if I personally ever need the funk

I really tried to find something nice to say about this album, but came up empty. Lock them up for that Pink Floyd cover.

This album really comes out swinging huh? Not my preferred genre but I can appreciate things about it

I liked the beginning of scum the single. Human garbage was good too, but I’m not a fan of the dog barking over blast beats with endless cymbals sound (I suffer). Cool album art.

Beep bop boop heavy on the bop

Kinda one note for me

That’s punk

I like David Bowie a lot. This isn’t my favorite album of his, but it’s still full of forward thinking (1977!) and range.

It’s different

British rap comes across as deeply unserious to me, and this album - with tracks like “jus a rascal” - was no exception

what Kent and LB said

Completely different feel than Nevermind, with the exception of Rape Me which was written during that time period. For this record they returned to their Bleach sound, which feels more authentically them. Scentless apprentice is a masterpiece with an absolutely nasty signature Grohl drum groove. I love that they put such a divisive song second on the record, especially on the tails of their more mainstream Nevermind success. I dare you to not tap your foot to Frances Farmer, Very Ape (a favorite), and Milk It. Dumb is a Cobain classic. It’s dark and hilarious with a haunting cello — has some nice ride cymbal action too. Pennyroyal tea is a perfect blend of their older grunge sound and their new softer experiments. I love how they transition back and forth between those sounds on this record. The cello returns to close out the album with the droning melancholic All Apologies. It’s a no skip 5/5 for me.

There are some great songs on here (got some groceries, some peanut butter!) but it’s not my favorite Talking Heads album. That comes later.

Fun synthy bop to work music that I’d not heard before. I wish we had 1/2 stars to dish out because I feel like this one is right between a 3 and 4 for me

I don’t love the Beatles like some people love the Beatles but I can appreciate that this is a really strong and important album, even if it’s not one I’ll reach for often.

This is an excellent album. If I could I’d give it 4.5/5

Idk what I was expecting from Kate Bush, but this wasn’t it.

I listened to this while I was running and I don’t remember feeling anything (positive or negative) about it.

Another one where I felt nothing

This is what the one star rating is for

I enjoyed listening to parts of it. Is it good? Not so sure

I’d listen to this again

Why does this album have 40,000 songs on it?

I’m giving this two stars because I liked it slightly more than that Taylor Swift album

It’s Beck

what did I just listen to

It’s a really good album with a whole lot of range

Dreamy

Barbarism begins at home is a bop

Didn’t do much for me

I enjoyed this almost as much as In Utero so 4 stars

This was a tough listen for me, didn’t make it through the whole thing

I’d like this more if I didn’t associate it with sandy bonnaroo sunscreen

Say what you will about Meg white but the white stripes wouldn’t be the white stripes without her. This is a really good album and her drumming suits it perfectly.

I like Björk but the songs on this album were a little hit or miss for me. I don’t recommend listening to the first 1/4 of the album while sitting in traffic

Would give it 3.5 if I could. It’s good but it’s not their best

Had a hard time making it all the way through this one

I like the Velvet Underground more than I like Lou Reed left to his own devices

Really do not care for U2

Would give 3.5 stars if I could. I enjoyed this

The range. The piccolo. This has been one of my favorite albums since the moment I heard it when I was 12.

I like the who as much as the next guy but this was a lot

This was so unexpectedly good, I was singing along with them by the end.

Excellence. What more is there to say

This was fun to listen to and I felt that way for the whole hour

La grange really stands out. It’s so good that I expected more from the rest of the album

This is the best the velvet underground album imo but it’s still not my favorite

It’s a classic for a reason.

I don’t need to listen to this again

Very few of these songs were improved by the addition of the orchestra

RIP ozzy 🤘

I expected to like this more based on other New Order I’ve heard

Doesn't compare to Rumours

One of the best Metallica albums there is tbh

It's Morrissey

Beautiful songwriting

Just like that I'm waiting tables in college again

I enjoyed every minute of this

Huh thank you very much

It’s Beck

Yeehaw but a little long

First half goes hard. I really liked Idiot Wind

Hey these guys are pretty good

I got very bored

Every boomer likes the who

Flute solo in freedom rider goes crazy

It all kind of blurred together for me

Did not care for this

I mostly enjoyed this, especially lyrically.

This ain’t it for me

I’d give this 3.5 if I could. I enjoyed it

Spooky and sad. Not my favorite by The Cure

Massive attack? More like hit or miss

Welp

Don’t be square has the funk and I liked the unexpected inclusion of a pirate song, otherwise I didn’t love this

This was fine

Naha

I got bored as hale

Preach it girl

I understand why people like this but it was not just what I needed.

The drums across the whole album 🫶

I don’t remember what this sounded like

I’m ready to listen to something that doesn’t fade into the background

I like the song about a deadly red saddle pad. yeehaw

An album with Kashmir on it has to get a 4

Ok so I don’t love lynyrd skynyrd by any means but this is one heck of a debut album (3.5/5 if I could)
