1001 Albums Summary

Love the live elements. The screaming and the asides to the audience are a great addition. Highlights are the titular How Blue Can You Get? and You Upset Me Baby (I am upset about the fake out at the beginning). The first slow point being Worry, Worry is wild and it kicks right back up after. Good back to front.

Guitar forward album! Worked very often, highlights for me being Friction and Torn Curtain, however! I Did Not like the titular Marquee Moon, found the rhythm to monotonous and headache inducing.

Iconic! Fun! Could be repetitive, sometimes to great effect sometimes not. Highlights include Little Red Corvette and D.S.M.R. Every time I would doubt a song he’d sing the title and I’d be back tbh.

Listening to this was a little bit just discovering the album around No Surprises which has been in my head since listening. I fear I loved it, definitely felt like a cohesive piece.

It’s fine. Highlights are Sunday Bloody Sunday and Drowning Man.

Absolute classic, perfect vibe. Would be dishonest to do anything under 5 after listening to so many of the songs for years.

He’s so horny the crack of dawn has to watch out for him. Three parts jazz album, one part comedy routine? Definitely a vibe, but I don’t think I’ll return to it anytime soon.

Highlights: Poppies, When I Dream, Strange House in the Snow

I can’t decide if rage against the machine is a vibe that I’m just not totally clicked with or too cringe for me to live through so I will be positive.

Not on Apple Music absolute pain to find the best place to listen BUT it’s perfect so it was worth every moment.

Hmm

A non-neutral 3. I was surprised how much I liked but the album was so. Long. Was eager for every song to be over by the end.

Truly a classic. Life On Mars? has been getting stuck in my head on and off since listening.

Loved moments at a time but couldn’t stay with entire songs (especially when they can be so long!). Can’t say I could recommend.

Maybe caught me on a bad day but I got annoyed.

I dunno

Very pleasant but unmemorable

Another album that I enjoyed that’s not on Apple Music 😠 I do find it funny describing all these woes when he seems like the jerk every time.

Vibey

Lovely. Calmed me down and put me in a better mood after work.

At its best catchy, at its worst repetitive

Wonderful - I was concerned about the 18 min song dragging then loved it all

Sometimes the bongos were too quiet in the mix - I wanted consistently bongo forward from Bongo Rock. Is the soundtrack for Ocean’s Eleven etc. related at all to this album? I shan’t look it up.

Dark and lumbering

Peace and love on planet earth! The world is beautiful!

Had fun on the first half

Why not

It’s a lot

It’s a Lot

Too Long even before all of the bonus tracks. And I liked the bonus tracks better.

Fun and annoying(?) in a good way

It’s wild how representative Take Me Out is of the sound of the album.

Lovely lovely lovely

The hits are hits - everything else is pretty good

Songs are good but all of them outstay their welcome

First album on this list to inspire nostalgia in me

Well done but not my vibe

The delivery and production works for me for a song at a time - as an album it drags

My alley! This is right up it!

Impeccable! I was concerned that the rest of the album wouldn’t be able to live up to the title track and I’m excited to be so wrong! The urge to sing along is irresistible.

Pitch perfect 80s new wave fair

Swear I listened to this album just this morning but can hardly remember. I know The Man Who Would Be King pinged for me.

That air sure is solid. Lovely throughout

Preferred the back half of the album

I liked it! Had a “gather ‘round for story time with peepaw” vibe that I dig.

Growing up my dad had an old iPod that I would sequester whenever my brother and I stayed at his house. I didn’t like all the music on it and would instead listen to 6 albums over and over and over again - cycling through them for hours. This album was one of the 6 and will always be important to me.

The Layers… Another album from my childhood! I definitely know Esperanza better but all the things I think the later albums build on is here in glory.

Pop rocks kind of ear candy

I like the pacing of this album - deliberately slow and plodding. The vibe bleeds together.

This album is objectively good at what it is going for, I just did Not Want to Hear It today. I liked that it was under 40min.

Staggering how massive the hots on this thing are

Nice

Half of these songs made me surprised the album is categorized as metal. Surprisingly coherent and fluid with this genre stretch

I like the dreamy possessive exit

Blazingly fast album, the songs are charming and done within a moment.

She wants a 🗣️Real 🗣️ Man 🗣️

Yea

Really loved the start and closing of the album, felt the middle dragged it down

Lots of delicious guitar

Lost me in the first half but loved everything in the second half

SO much fun

It’s good 👍

I don’t care if it’s the best vibe in the world, I’ll never get behind a 20 min song. That said it was a very good vibe.

Probably one for me to revisit, not the vibe rn

Hurt 😞

Yay! Stankonia!

Sweet

Bah

Empty

Tranquil

Yay! I recognized this artists from one of his newer songs
