1001 Albums Summary

Despite this album being so far from my style, I really enjoyed how cinematic and hypnotic each song felt. Overall a very nocturnal soundtrack, somehow incohesive yet tied together, as if it were an anthology of different character's experiences of the same night in the city. However, I don't think the inclusion of the live final track adds anything, in fact I feel it takes away from the general feel. Although this isn't an album I see myself reaching for again and again, there are a handful of tracks I would play and recommend to friends.

I want to be there, in that very room, tipsy, dancing and laughing with my nearest and dearest, fuck it, even my furthest and farthest. This may be one of my favourite live albums, so immersive, the crowd, Cooke’s laughing, it’s so clear he loved his job. The pure joy in that room is unmatched, electric and beautifully infectious, so removed from the world around them.

the police have some fantastic songs… unfortunately with the exception of message in a bottle, none of them are on this album

perfect slasher movie soundtrack

gosh the people who don't like specific music because it's popular are so dull. This album is fun, cooky and popular for a reason. Although I wouldn't say this is my fave Queen album, she's a unique masterpiece to say the least.

Quality background music

Ha! get it.... like surfs UP

This album had me one minute then lost me the next - Big fan of the songs with the small town but something's not quite right vibe, not so much on the spooky scary skeleton songs.

you wait around, look around and wander around. yes we get it - Unfortunately this album is a little tooooo consistent for me, as in I'd struggle to pick them apart in a line up. I did like the music but the lyrics just did nothing for me.

i'd like to personally thank Elvis Costello for re-enforcing my argument that men don't need to be able to sing to be musicians. Below mid, I can't say it's bad but I can't see myself ever replaying this album. I did quite like man out of time but no other real stand outs for me. Wish I could rate this a 1.75

I can appreciate this but it's not for me

only problem with this album is that i was stuck in the office listening to it instead of on a beach

their pronunciation really scratches my brain 3.5*

90s alt rock in a nutshell (not that I was there) I enjoyed this quite a lot, the only reason why I'm not rating this a 5 is down to the likelihood of me relistening to this entire album

i was expecting to like this... i liked the dreams i had when it sent me to sleep

i knew this wouldn't be for me, i swear i tried but no it's not for me

and i was tempted

oh yeah? you and whose army?!

this sounds like they had fun making it 2.5*

boy i hope they find her 3.5*

yuuuuuuuppppp

my sleep paralysis demon is Nico's voice

Not eliminating this album

me & sebastian

this was very hit and miss for me

this is exactly what i imagine my brother and cousins band thought they sounded like

if this was playing in the background of a restaurant, i'd be satisfied - that is about the only time i'd listen to this

flawless give me 10 more

9:27pm train from Glasgow Central in the rain

Creedence Clear(the area)Water Revival SENSATIONAL

don't you DARE say the word 'kissle' in my ears again.

"I took another bubble bath with my pants on".... another?!

i like the thought behind this album but not the end product

hi my name is... arthur OR the decline of the british empire... whichever's easiest for you to call me

You know the Beatles made bangers when THIS is George's scraps

Ladies and gentlemen this album IS season 3 of your favourite young adult series

knowing yellow was on this album i was expecting more

Takes me back to being 18, drunk and dm-ing the lead singer on my friends instagram because he fancied her I thinkkkkk this is my first listen of this album????? I think i'd only previously heard their later stuff.

although this is my second fave aretha album it’s objectively her best

ice cube: most wanted for being misogynistic

satanic reverses hell yeah

Can't believe nobody was cool until 1957

Some of these would hit in a 90's coming of age movie

RIP Ozzy

"ooooh" "hmmm" "errr" "oh ok" "huh" "uh uh" "oooo" "ermmm"

really overstimulating

my brother bought this record for me years ago - first album on here I've had a physical copy of

A little bit samey same but very pleasant early morning listen

decent background music

oh this has got covid lockdown me allllll over

Dad rock mixed with elevator music

this album makes me feel like a little ant sick of being stepped on by evil humans and after decades of tyranny my colony and I are preparing for the rise against humans. 2.5 (rating a 3 for the nostalgia of antmusic)

sounds like my bus journey home 2nd year of uni

"I took another bubble bath with my pants on".... another?!

sounds like sitting in the garden revising for chemistry paper 2 knowing I was going to do terribly

"yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon" boy have i been there

rigghhhht so we're including albums about pedophilia and rape now are we?

3.5 as it's own album, 5 as a soundtrack = 4 overall

"I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down"... sang in a prison?! Safe to say Johnny knew how to cater to his audience Was not expecting to be tapping my foot to these songs

if kidsbop covered radiohead

there's simultaneously nothing wrong or right with this album
