1001 Albums Summary

This was good, I thought it sounded a little bit like the guru and read up that they worked together. A nice start, this is something I definitely wouldn't have picked myself.

I could understand why Beck made this record after the previous offerings. It was interesting in some places, I like some of the strings, thought the variety of vocals was interesting.

I thought the song Marquee Moon was the standout. I thought some of the drums and hi-hats in particular were quite good. Overall a pleasant listen, something I wouldn't have chosen myself.

I really enjoyed this which was surprising. I thought the opening to the album was excellent tasteful strings throughout. Nice length of record. I initially gave it 4 stars, however after a week, I came back and gave it 5, as I have listened to parts of it every day and absolutely love the record. I didn't realise it was released 17 or so days before he died and it definitely adds extra depth to it.

Some nostalgic moments, 4/5 belters and then a bit of filler. Enjoyed it. Great 3 piece. They made Bristol vibey as hell

Pleasant enough.

Just great

I thought was great. I did have 5 stars but the repeated faggot references knocked a star off, different times back then in 2000.

Not really in the mood for it.

Shit Sandwich

Great voice, does what it says on the tin.

Album fits together pretty well. The singles are proper bangers.

Album fits together pretty well. I thought it wasn’t as good as their next album.

Great voice, does what it says on the tin.

Exactly what I thought it would be

RIP Brian Wilson. Thank you.

Excellenf

It’s probably quality on pills but I’m middle aged and boring.

Na

Something I never would have picked and I thought it was fabulous

Alright

Mental good and bad. What are the covers all about? Singles are incredible.

It was average

It was interesting and futuristic and some nice melodies. I'm struggling to think of the situation or scenario where I would chose to put it on again. It's more like futuristic movie music than anything that would accompany my life, but it was well done for what it is.

It was vibey as hell

Fine

I'm surprised this album made it in over the others. It felt like they were still finding their feat with this and the last track was a nod towards what was to come.

great hits

I don’t really like their album tracks but some belters

It was exactly what I thought it would be. Rock on.

This was like a recording of a rehearsal where the band were too stoned to reign anyone in, and at the end of it, they just said fuck it, let's put it out, done, now lets go and get a kebab.

Good

It’s nostalgic

It was a bit of a journey, enjoyable but couldn’t listen every day it was that intense.

If I could have given this no stars I would have. What an absolute joke. Probably the biggest load of rubbish I have ever listened to.

So vibey

Very good

Blueberry hill was good.

It’s sensationally good.

Sultans of swing is that good, it’s worth 4 stars on its own.

Fabulous and some people say she’s just big pair of tits.

Aerosmith Rocks is a decent album that showcases the band’s raw energy and gritty rock sound. Tracks like “Back in the Saddle” and “Last Child” definitely stand out, delivering that classic Aerosmith swagger. However, the album as a whole doesn’t quite maintain the same level of impact throughout. While it’s a solid listen for fans of the band, it doesn’t quite reach the heights of some of their other releases. Good, but not great.

Purple Rain is a brilliant fusion of rock, funk, pop, and soul that showcases Prince at his creative peak. The album is packed with unforgettable tracks like “When Doves Cry” and the iconic title song, both emotionally charged and musically innovative. While a couple of tracks feel slightly overshadowed by the standouts, the album as a whole is a bold, genre-defying masterpiece that still holds up decades later. A near-perfect example of Prince’s genius.

This is what the 1001 album challenge is all about. I thought what the fuck??? Then it slowly hit me that this is a satire on the south in rednecks, and then it settles into some beautiful incredible songs. I loved it and I couldn't wait to get my next album out of the way to listen to this again.

A lively listen. It's complex and wild because it can be, and we all need a wee bit of this from time to time. It's fun, but it's not memorable.

It was quite good and live band jammy and pleasant. I would listen again.

I thought this was fantastic, I don't know what I thought of Alice Cooper, but this is wonderful and his voice is quite soulful and great.

I was open to this record, but I really struggled to get into it. Other than unfinished sympathy everything seemed a bit meh.

Very nice

I thought it was shit. and it's a shit band name, and album was boring. I like the cover though.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy is like a posh man in a velvet suit whispering poetry into your ear while sipping red wine—simultaneously charming, cheeky, and a bit too pleased with itself. If Oscar Wilde made a Britpop album, this would be it. 10/10 for suave horn sections and innuendo so thick you could spread it on toast.

Outstanding

Glorious

Rest in peace to the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. Your music inspired generations. 🖤🎸 #RIPOzzy #Legend #ThankYouOzzy

not great

I didn’t think I’d enjoy Melodrama, but parts of it really surprised me. Lorde’s lyrics are sharp and emotional, and a few tracks really hit. I respect the ambition and can see why others love it.

For some reason it’s ok for rappers to say the n word, but when I hear it from the temptations it feels wrong. They got sunshine on a cloudy day.

When you finish the album thinking the electronic drum programming was good, it kind of says it all.

But I did get Paul McCartney out of Wings. Homer: You idiot! He was the most talented one.

We need the funk.

Outstanding.

Not really in the mood

Alright

Not for me.

Brilliant

You can see why people went mental for Elvis after listening to this stuff.

Not for me

I liked bits of it a lot, but I also thought you could tell who her influences were, but you couldn’t tell who she is.

Just outstanding

I got up this morning and I got myself a beer

I thought it was good in spells

It’s a solid record with some really nice bits.

Abraxas is a timeless Santana masterpiece, blending Latin rhythms, rock, and blues into a hypnotic, genre-defying classic.

You're so great and I love you.

Alright

Not for me

Some good bits.

Interesting

Solid

Outstanding

it was ok

Fine

Didn’t enjoy

It's a 10/10 existential crises.

Decent

Not for me

It was fine

Nico is shit

fabulous

Not for me

It was decent in places but nothing special

Nothing special

A rock masterpiece from beginning to end.

Pretty interesting in places
