1001 Albums Summary

Heavy on the harmonica at the start

It’s the Beatles, classic album - ‘Anytime At All’ was a new find

Solo solo solo BAM solo. One whole end to end solo (positive). Imagine listening to The End for the first time again

Same song over and over, very dated rather than timeless imo

Top album, 35 mins long, proper punk, couple of 2 song runs - Police and Thieves is up there

Yeah, it’s good, it’s very funky and has some really interesting bits in

Passenger and Lust for Life alone make this iconic - best opening to an album ever? Only another 990 albums to prove me otherwise

Really didn’t jump at me - it’s fine and soothing but nothing really bar svefn-g-englar grabbed me

Brand new band to me, loved it - goth new order

Unlike anything else, very very calming even on the tube. Good vessel to think to

A very very good album, Porcelain incredible

A nice and chilled album, classic early 2000s

Funk funk funk funk, sounded a bit like the bbc snooker theme (positive)

Perfectly good 1960s album, easy easy listening

A really good album, but not great. Couple of songs to get you bopping and feeling funky walking down the tube platform though

A good album, didn’t blow me away though, but it probably deserves more time to grow

Wow, described by someone as “midnight ceremony in the bayou” and it’s spot on - mad and mysterious, uneasy but funky listening. Danse Fambeaux very good

Fine, just a fine album, again maybe need some more listens to appreciate the finer bits but just a fine album

Didgeridoo heavy, very Jamiroquia, very out there, acid jazz to the max

Big beats, big drum fills, big noise - I think this will continue to grow on me too, 4.5, will grow to a 5

17 minute, whole side long song - very doorsy, enjoyable

Loved it, grew and grew on me - bit of Mick Jones (BAD not clash I think) in there

Didn’t blow me away, hard to put a finger on why/why not

Didn’t stick with me. Needs some more listens

Jangly jangly pop, love it, a few gems in there too

A very fun album, a 3.5, pushing a 4 - felt like I should be getting ready for a night out

Not overwhelmed, pockets of alright - needs more listening

Classics abound

Really didn’t jam with it

A few potential earworms, would listen again

Wall to wall unskippable - one of the most complete and compelling albums.

Really really good soul music, late 50s/early 60s vibes, Sunday morning

Great fun, title track fantastic, rest nice and fun - 3.5 rounded down

Little bit too folky/whimsy in parts - verging on Christian folk. ‘Has he got a friend for me’, ‘the end of the rainbow’, ‘the great Valerio’ are all decent tracks though
