1001 Albums Summary

Perfect dinner party music

Iconic RATM, nostalgic listen but holds up after all these years. Contains a UK Christmas No1 No skips Fave Track(s): - Bullet in the head - Fistful of Steel - Township Rebellion

First time actually listening to Iron Maiden, this shit goes hard. Fave Tracks: Prowler Remember Tomorrow - the GUITARS Transylvania - the fucking GUITARS Strange World - Beautiful

I like lots of Beastie Boys hits, just not sure on this album Stand out tracks: Sure shot Flute Loop Sabotage Do it

I feel sad and sleepy listening to this album and then WHAM harmonica whiplash... fully awake again until the next drift off, I can be damn sure the harmonica is coming back to wake me up though. I don't really understand why it's in the list, it's a complete miss from me. A bit dull, a bit repetitive, a bit dull, a bit HARMONICA. It's kinda like if your drunk dad got on the guitar at an open mic and tried to be Dylan. 1/5

Not sure this brings anything *new* that the White Stripes hasn't already done. Now, I like Jack white, his direction in The Raconteurs genuinely brought a new Jack sound, I'm not so sure this solo album does. It's good, but I don't think it's ground breaking (does all music need to be?) It feels like it's missing something but the parts that are there are pretty good, I enjoyed listening to this album. Fave Tracks: Freedom at 21 Love Interruption Take Me With You When You Go

I've never really liked Bowie, this album has done nothing to change my mind on that. Big production for less than mid vocals 1/5

If a medieval musician fell into the early 2000s electronic scene. It's an interesting listen, I've never hear melancholic Electronic before. No real stand out tracks, but quite pretty I guess? 2/5

Starts as funky white music, and doesn't really ever achieve that. This feels like they've watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show and tried making that into an album, badly.

Okay, it's long - but Jazz is easy listening, right? Yes, it is, this is great. I did skip the announcements; I understand it's a live album, but I don't feel like I missed anything by skipping them. First time listening to a full jazz record and I can really get behind this.

Is it repetitive, yes. Is it interesting, yes. Did I enjoy it? Sure. Forward thinking for 1978, sounds right at home as a video game soundtrack or late night drive. I enjoyed hearing this and linking it to modern Electronic music that has obvs taken inspiration from Kraftwerk.

Always an experience listening to Outkast, Andre 3000 has the most more-ish voices around and BigBoi's flows are G O L D E N. Fave Tracks - Gasoline Dreams - So Fresh, So Clean

I want to like Johnny Cash, but the fact that he was let OUT of prison after this album upsets me.

I recently heard FredAgain talking about Brian Eno, so was keen to hear his work. It's a bit like a fever dream in all the right ways? Fave Tracks - St Elmo's fire - Golden Hours

One of the many great Queen albums. Fave Tracks: - Brighton Rock - Killer Queen - Stone Cold Crazy

First time listening to an Elton album in full. Knowing a fair amount of Elton's work, this is exactly what I had hoped from an album. It's piano, glam Elton-core. Fave Tracks: - Tiny Dancer - incredible. - Razor Face - Madman across the water

Obviously 'Perfect Day' and 'Walk on the Wild Side' are the standouts - I just don't get Lou Reed. Kinda boring, influential, sure but boring.

Surfer/indie /electro weirdness. Funky baselines, odd everything else. It was an interesting listen, but not something I can see myself delving into anymore.

I don't like country music, but the first track started and maybe I've just been listening to the wrong country music?? The first country album I think I would go back to, such easy listening. It gets an extra star because it made my 3yr old daughter want to dance with me. 6/5

Really very pretty - Very relaxed - exactly what I'd expect listening to Joni. 3/5

I agree with the ARTIST that this is 'funeral music' unfortunately the funeral was for my ears. It's not the worst thing I've heard, but it's also not the best. Background music at a wake maybe.

'Experimental' apparently means shit in the music world. The 'Layers' of music are different layers of shite.

It's metalica - it has no business being only one song and still an hour...wait, it's multiple songs!? Listenable incel anthems. Not awful, not spectacular. 3/5

I had very few expectations when I saw the cover of this album, but it was a pleasant surprise. Ecclectic mix of decent songs. 3/5

I'd heard of Black Flag before I'd heard Black Flag, and it's hard to imagine modern rock/punk without this influence. I enjoyed this from start to finish. 5/5

This has all the right ingredients to be a pretty killer album - slightly let down by vocals IMO.

Beautiful, pleasant - Not my thing, but good listening. 3/5

I listened to this whilst deeply angry with incompetent co-workers, and it was surprisingly suitable given the amount of violent, incoherent noise/rage in my brain. I don't think there is any other scenario where this album fits.

This one was hard to rate, because apart from a few absolute bangers, this album was shit.
