1001 Albums Summary

The fact that they came out with this after Bon Scott died with a new lead singer is amazing in itself. Relentlessly rocky,noisy, simple but standing up to time. 4.5/5

Monitor was the only track I enjoyed. Lacking depth and was eventually a grating listen. Got more distorted, more psychedelic sounding and lost the beat the longer the album went on. Lacking vocal midrange but I guess that’s post punk hallmark…

Good soul album. Starts with Respect one of the best covers. Aretha’s voice was pretty incredible. Enjoyed it but wasn’t wowed.

It’s fine. Not a lot of hits. I knew what I was in for. Went exactly as expected.

I noticed from Lodi on that Fogerty’s vocals followed the music so much the lyrics were hard to hear. Very echoing bass of the era. Solid album.

I’m not a huge jazz guy. But can appreciate it for what it is. Enjoyed

The Riffs sound feminine, the vocals sound gritty.

Album goes hard. Great rap album I was thinking about listening to NAS this week anyway

Never heard of this artist. Album was nice.

The first 4 songs were absolutely terrible. It improved marginally after that with a Prince feeling and acoustic guitar song. Then sounds back into the first few songs again. Comedically bad

I don’t know what genre you call this but I’d like more please. This is refreshing new artist to me. Really appreciated it

I don’t listen to enough jazz to know what I’m listening to. Sounded great though. Rich dinner party music

Nothing stood out as a great track off this album

Catch the sun sounded familiar but the remainder was forgettable

Pretty good album. Aggressive, oppressive, rowdy. But not any standout tracks personally. As an album tied together

Yuck! Far from incredible! I persevered through it but couldn’t wait for the album to end. Might have sounded better in the 60-70s if you were on drugs??!

54min flew by. Really enjoyed this. It was a vibe. Weird sounds mixed into tracks (farts,babies crying,scratching noises) but not enough to ruin them.

I woke up grumpy and it’s been a tough week of work. I needed this for a Friday morning! Holly F-bombs though. Obnoxiously angry music. Gritty,circus sideshow like. Lyrics are the most random ever. Never cared for SOAD in the 90-2000s but appreciate the musical talent. Could never get past the lyrics. If you ignore the words it sounds better.

Was fine. But they’re just reworked cover songs. Did I need this?

Didn’t mind this. Sounds more 70s to me. No song stuck out

Songs I grew up to.

So good! I was along for the ride the second the first song started. So many 5star songs alone. Loved it

Wasn’t on Spotify. Downbeat

A little boring. The song “ruby baby” felt like a 20min song. Not my favorite album

Mostly happy songs, good vibrations the only hit. It kind of saved the album at the end 2.5/5stars

Can we get the girls to scream a little more? - James Brown asks them to scream every song…

MTV Jackass theme song on it. It was the only song I recognized. Went on too long. Is this post punk? Because I don’t like it

No note. Just classic tunes

Early OG indie music. Not my favorite REM album but flowed through it.

This was weird prince.

Short and sweet.

Just a raw rap album.

Classic easy listening rock

Such a good album. Back when you could sample anything. Historic

Springsteen gravely voice over mostly ballads. Was a great album

I always expect KISS to be worse than they are. But this was very tame/ vanilla rock. I thought my Spotify was glitching with track1 , but it was just stupid noises.

Didn’t need a double disc album of this

5song album?? 13.5min,7.5min,5min,5min,12min songs. Ridiculous! Still sounds excellent. Except for the 8min of car noise and whooshs at the end of the tracks

Not for me

Not even schools out was good enough to save this album.

Barely tolerated it. This album started to give me a headache and I like Radiohead Not great Radiohead

Rawwww.

Dam great album

Smooth as 80g sandpaper but not offensively

Two Bob Marley & The Wailers albums in one week. Nice change! Skanking to this on a Friday afternoon

As I expected of Costello. Pretty dry…

What did I just listen to?? Fused soul,funk,swing… hip hop? Each song was different. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But was pleasantly impressed

Not the best beastie album but for a 1989 album it gave the speakers a workout

By track 2 I was ready to turn it off.

Enjoyable, likable, alright. Sexy funky music. Nothing crazy

U2s distinct pop/rock. Good or bad it was fine to listen to. A few really good song on this album- One,mysterious ways etc

Too much cowbell. Ooommf dragged on a bit

Once it hit the Valentine song it was all over for me

Modern folk vibes. Mid

Were there any hooks in any songs on this album? I’m not sure there were?! Felt a bit all over the place but also like a journey… Wasn’t expecting to like this

I wouldn’t know the difference between good and bad blues??….

I know I’m supposed to like this and it’s influential but I didn’t like it.

This jazz feels ‘lighter’ to me. Is it because it’s piano jazz? I wouldn’t know because I’m uneducated and stupid. But by “take five” I was enjoying it. This and a Friday afternoon drive home felt pretty good

When it’s an album from the early 70s I know that I’ll like it.

M.E = where’s your head at.

Prob rock, I’m not the biggest fan of it. Feels jokey! YYZ was ok. Tom Sawyer was laughable. The rest was fine but didn’t scratch the itch. Fell short for me 3/5

A couple good singles off this album. It’s very 80s. The sexy time,creepy,cringe 80s. Not my favorite but I tolerated it.

I got this album within hours of knowing Ozzy Osbourne passed away. Heavy

Kicking off with ‘bitter sweet symphony’ was such a good opener. The album holds a similar tempo throughout. Britpop isn’t upbeat but I loved it

Weird. But not what I normally think of Bowie weird to sound like. Ambient boring weird. Wasn’t offensive weird, mostly just forgettable. We hit another Low moment with this album

Smooth Aretha vocals as expected

I’ve never heard of this band and don’t care if I never hear of them again

A couple good singles from this album. But not great

Wasn’t loving it

It was alright. But half the album (disc2) was off ‘I should coco’ and I already listened to that..?

Classic album. Great all the way through

As expected. Poor sound quality live album

Not my vibe but it’s fine

This album doesn’t date as I remembered it. Has more low points than hight. And I was a big Kanye fan

Thought I would like this and it didn’t disappoint. I always think of the pixies with a different sound to this album. Quite mixed up

Whining 80% of this record. Not obnoxiously but still….

I’m sure I’ve heard this in Mexico once….

Great Canadian band

Really good

This album takes me back in the day to when I was a kid. I was at my uncle’s house and he’s trying to tell 12yr old me that where the streets have no name is the greatest song made. It’s a pretty good song. But not that great. Still really liked this album

It ain’t the beetles

A couple songs from disc2 were pretty good. But mostly just fine. Nothing more, nothing less

Funky,weird,art rock. I’ve never had the desire to put talking heads on. And don’t feel the need to ever listen to this album again.

Not outstanding

Why not call every song neighborhood??? This felt nostalgic.

Not for me

Brit punk. No hate,no love either. It’s was fine and sounded like every other punk album Ive ever listened to

Raspy. My throat hurts just listening to this much falsetto.

Solid album! This album proves that voice isn’t everything. As a teenager I didn’t get Cat Stevens. But I get it now.

Decent

No idea what they’re saying. But sounds ok

Apparently I am supposed to like this….

Was this list written in English??

Ahhh enough with Costello albums!

Really liked this. Early 2010s indie was good

When I think of 60s rock I think of the doors. Iconic album. But Morrison's poetry eww. What was with ‘back door man’??? Would give it a 5star if the keyboardist had calmed down. Was a bit much

Enjoyable. Loved this album

Yup sounds like jazz

A bit rocky a bit unusual

Wow really liked this

A bit more world music. This was a vibe. No idea what the guys saying or if it’s an African language or Brazilian Portuguese but I liked it.

Not as smooth as commons other albums but really top quality

Everyday people was recognizable. The rest was funky

Not special

Doesn’t age well

Sounds like a bunch of Bob Dylan’s

Nope

This album made me irritable. Too mixed up and confusing

All songs sound the same. Went on too long. Should’ve ended at track 11

The interview at the end of the special edition album was a nice touch

Not bad for disco

Brilliant record. Loved everything about it

Great album

Not as much singing as I remembered from Booker T

What you expect from Elvis

A bit mellow and sounds the same. But got better as the album went on

Really love The XX. The beat and her vocals are so good

Pretty good for jazz. Aggressively attacking the symbols the whole album

Listening to this makes me feel like I need to clear my throat

I’ll I wonna do is the only recognizable song for me. And the only thing saving the rating from being a 2

Good reggae

I thought I knew this album. But it only sounded vaguely familiar

Doesn’t date well. Flavors “YEAH BOOOYYY”s were a small highlight

Spanish right?? Sounds more modern than the 50s but I’m not familiar with the music

Probably disrespectful but it was a mostly uninteresting album. But Homeward Bound was a 5star song on its own

Reminds me of my auntie Yvette’s love of Bonnie Raitt. Was quite enjoyable

A classic album. Perfect

Kinda cool

Mediocre

Riff-rocking out on tangents through out the album. Modern day blues-rock. Nothing amazing on here

After just listening to Morrissey I had hopes this would be better. After the song ‘slow education’ it got progressively worse

What are these lyrics about Morrissy??!!

I don’t understand this music

No my favorite album. I feel like it sounded exactly like the last sonic youth album

Chill music

Boring

Quiet,slow,haunting vocals. Really good album

Reminds me of my early 20s

Solid album

Only interesting thing I learned while listening to this album was that Leonard was Canadian. I always thought he was British

No my favorite Radiohead album but still a great one

Gangster
