1001 Albums Summary

Pretty great, had already heard most of these songs before of course. Amaya cool to stumble across new ones

Was okay, liked some of the songs but not a huge fan in general. Lots of pop but nothing special

Not a big fan of country, but liked one or two songs enough to make this 2 stars. It doesn’t seem bad or anything, just not my cup of tea personally

Pretty great, I liked at least half of the songs. Big fan of the first disc. The jam session stuff was fine, it’s all decent sounds but without lyrics and more development in general it isn’t something I care to listen to repeatedly

Pretty great, big fan of some of the songs but some of them are almost skippable?

Honestly really fun! Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I might. Was a really great day though, Boston marathon and seeing lots of friends, so that maybe influenced me positively. Anyways yeah big band stuff is awesome

I enjoyed a few songs, casually liked the album but it’s not something I would have on repeat. Regardless, it’s cool and reading the wiki entry gave historic context that made the listening experience really nice.

Great album! Definitely saved like half the songs. I wish the recording gear was better back then, some songs sounded washed out, a product of their age I guess. Heavy guitar focus is fun, but feels like unintentional shoegaze not being able to hear vocals super well. Anyways, listened in a hurry so maybe not my best review

Honestly not a big fan. Have been trying to get more into hip-hop, but this album just doesn’t do it for me. Some ideas are cool, but songs don’t make me want to listen again. I see how some people could like it and would be cool for its time

A good album, was cool to hear that iconic first track! Wouldn’t quickly re-listen to many other tracks but I liked it

Honestly not the biggest fan, this is more of a 3.5, rounding up BECAUSE apparently tracks like Strawberry Fields were originally going to be on this record, but got pushed out early as singles by the prod company. Some unremarkable songs, but would listen to (and have listened to) much of this album before

Barely scraping by with a 2, just because I could see the value in this for someone who really wanted to rage. Personally would not re-listen, but by the end of it I could see what people might find in this music, thinking generously.

I think what really sells it for me is that some of the songs are amazing, and none of them feel “just okay”. I don’t listen to a lot of this kind of music though, so it may be more of a novelty for me. But I saved a ton of songs from this album!

Honestly not sure whether this is a 3 or a 4, probably closer to a 4 but I really like rock music. Would definitely give it another listen eventually but I’m not racing to do so, hence the 3. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great music, but I’ve listened to a lot of high-energy rock music recently

This is definitely better than the noise rock album that I rated a 2 (I should go back and make that a 1), but I wouldn’t listen to this whole album again. It’s really cool to listen and learn for historical context, but hip-hop in general isn’t my favorite I guess

Honestly really great, saved 65% of the songs, only not a 5 because I feel like there could be a higher peak. But this is all awesome stuff, very fun minimal electronic type music that would still be great if played in the club today!!

Thought it was great! Swift is a great storyteller, which was the main interest for me for this album. The songwriting is great too, but that falls more into the background for me, since most of the music I listen to I really appreciate from that perspective. I can see why people are big fans of hers

Not a fan of angry music usually, but I see the point, and they’re obviously talented musicians

Thought it was great, especially for the 80s! Saved a few songs, really liked instrumental of Space Invader

Wow it was so pretty!! Big fan of jazz, I don’t listen enough. Saved every song

4 because I enjoyed it. It was great music to work to. Not sure I love it all, but saved a few songs!!

Liked it, saved a couple songs!! Cool to see where some iconic samples come from. Wouldn’t usually listen to this kind of music albums so not a 4

Very cool, was distracted while listening but love to hear early R&B

Great stuff, very cool he used those standards! Was maybe just having a great day but this is an easy 5, would re-listen at any time

Obviously great, not my fav album of theirs but some bangers

Really enjoyed some songs, wouldn’t rush to listen again. But it’s like Taylor swift for gangsters lol

Liked it more than I thought I would. Wouldn’t listen again in a hurry, not the biggest metal fan

Some bangers, but probably a 3. Idk would definitely listen again but was cleaning

Probably a 3, saved a couple songs, liked the album in general! Was mostly just cleaning and organizing so not 100% focused

Honestly listened to this while doing chores, I think it’s a good album but not many songs really stood out

Really liked it, almost a 4. Incredible to bake to lol, was fun in the kitchen

Wow what a strong start, had never heard Jet before!! Saved every song, had heard of the eponymous track obviously. Wow

Amazing to hear the samples, iconic, would listen again but just personally not a 4 because I’m not going to be wanting to play many of the songs a lot. Strong 3.5?

Banger, easy 4, not many notes. Wasn’t listening super closely though and was walking around my beautiful neighborhood having a wonderful day so hard to be objective

I have this problem with Radiohead where many of the tracks from each record sound kinda similar because I’m not super closely listening. Regardless, could not have had a better album to walk around my neighborhood to. Not a 5 because I wouldn’t say every song is an ear worm, but beautiful work

Really cool, interesting, wouldn’t hurry to listen again to every song. Reminded me of Radiohead, but with better stories? But the songs weren’t as gripping. Very unique

Very melancholy, didn’t give it as close of a listen as I should’ve. It’s really nice but wouldn’t race to listen afain

It’s Britney, bitch!! Real talk all of these were fun

Smiths are great, honestly usually too mellow for me, especially lately. Lovely music, not in a hurry to re-listen

This is so cool!! Would listen again, not every day but so fun

This probably deserves a higher rating and I should revisit it at some point, but not speaking French makes it hard to appreciate a rap album in French

Liked it, wouldn’t race to re-listen because it’s so lyrical but was very cool

Honestly probably a 4, just a lot of the tracks sound like The Smiths. This isn’t bad but I wasn’t in the mood to listen to that

Great rock album, a couple great tracks, just okay overall. But was running around listening doing chores. Crazy good for a debut album!

Rating it this low feels criminal, but honestly just not taking the time to listen super closely and this is more like spoken word folk music. It’s more artistic than the kind of music I was listening to today and deserves a closer listen

Crazy samples, alarms and phones and stuff. That’s a fun thing now, I wonder if it was super prevalent in the 90s? Good listen but didn’t save a ton, honestly closer to a 4 probably objectively and probably very creative for its time

Very lyrical but really liked it!! Just not an instant re-listen

Crazy good for a long run. Felt like I was in a James Bond movie

Very Smiths-esque, couldn’t believe they were Australian. A little boring tbh

Harder rock than I usually listen to, still grear

Makes me wish I was an angsty teenager again

Sick, obviously Take Me Out and Darts of Pleasure are classic but found some other bangers! Not a 5 because a couple songs I didn’t absolutely love but this is the highest 4 in a while. I think I’m being harsh idk
