1001 Albums Summary

I think being inundated with MJ in the early 90's might have skewed my perspective a bit, but while there are some pretty catchy songs on this album, there are some major stinkers on there as well.

Good stuff, nice step up from the previous album, Off the Wall by Pichael Jackson. I did't mind the more ambient stuff at the end.

Cool stuff, probably was a fun live show.

We're going purely by personal ratings here right? The whole rap rock thing just never clicked for me. Plus lots of cusses (jk).

already a step up from the other albums so far... the magic has faded. 3/5

I haven't listened to a ton of 70s punk rock, but this feels a lot more palatable than most of what I've heard. Still, I just don't really like music in general so this gets a 3/5.

Sounds like a 70s album but definitely a lot better than the average 70s album.

Played the heck out of this one back in the mid 00s, never actually bought the album which I feel kinda bad about now.

Might disappoint my dad with this one

Started off super strong, I thought. Sorta overstayed its welcome towards the end.

Got kinda good at the end

A couple bangers but the rest didn't do a ton for me.

I feel like this would be great music if I lived on a beach. 2/5

Super stoked to see Massive Attack on here, was a little confused that it would be this album. Still solid though. I'm assuming this means we'll get Mezzanine as well.

I never listened to a ton of The Smiths, figured it was only a matter of time 'til I was hooked. Then I went to see Future Islands at Red Rocks back in like 2015 or something, as they were opening for Morrissey. We stuck around for Morrissey and got to see a compilation of video footage of police shooting people's pet dogs. I guess what I'm trying to say is this might have been rated higher if not for all that. Plus some of the other stuff you hear about him.

I heard if you play each studio album by REM over the first season of Friends in order it lines up like Dark Side of the Moon played over Wizard of Oz.

this was rad... that opening song is perfect

What is that awful noise

some classic mellow bangers on this one.

This nerd got the strokes addicted to heroin?

This feels like parody. It may have been fun to listen to at the time but it hasn't aged well at all. Hard listen if you're not big into punk.

I didn't realize how much I hate Bon Jovi until listening to this straight through.

I could see blur being one of my favorite bands if I was born 10 years earlier.

Thankfully spotify only had 4 of the songs from this album

Excited to see some bjork on here

Nostalgia

Mahalo

This album probably would have aged better if thousands of bands hadn't copied their sound creating the now beloved Butt Rock genre.

Cool stuff, better than I was expecting

This is probably excellent on drugs

This is why I signed up for this... I have been aware of Orchestral Manoeuvres for quite a while but never really dove in. Fantastic album.

Some really good stuff on this album but also what feels like a lot of filler.

I do not like this

This isn't my favorite LCD album but it's still fantastic, and seems to be aging quite well.

2 in a row??

This is great music for trying to impress your dead grandparents

This one grew on me

Just rolled my eyes so hard I did a backflip

Wow, this just keeps going

I love ramstein!

Cool moments here and there

This is hard to listen to

A banger here and there but overall this album didn't do a ton for me

Starts off very strong. Based off my limited knowledge of him, this feels like the quintessential Neil Young album. Might grow on me.

I don't know if I'm technically allowed to rate this album considering one of the artists gives my daughter free books. Could be seen as a conflict of interest.

One of the great progenitors of butt rock (this doesn't make them butt rock, just recognizing that we probably wouldn't have butt rock without them)
