1001 Albums Summary

I really quite enjoyed this album. Every song up until “They Won’t Go When I Go” has been really good however I am not a big fan of this one. I particularly enjoyed “Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away” and “Boogie on a Reggae Woman”. “Bird of Beauty” is quite funky and really highlights the interesting sounds that Stevie is known for. “Please Don’t Go” is a relatively strong album closer in my opinion and overall the album is solid and enjoyable! 7.5/10 rounded up to 4 stars.

I enjoyed the first half of this album more than the second half. Thankfully I enjoy the sound of blues music, otherwise this album may have been a drag. This isn’t one of Dylan’s strongest albums but overall fairly enjoyable. 5.5/10 rounded up to three stars.

I’m not the biggest Bowie fan but I can enjoy this album from time to time.

Okay I already knew going into this album that I would enjoy it but I did not realize how much I would. Every single song on the album finds its place and the story behind the music can be felt even though I could not understand the lyrics. Luckily I am already accustomed to non-English music so I did not find it challenging. Instead, the language barrier created a beautiful feeling in my soul knowing that I was able to connect with men I have never met, who I do not understand verbally. I felt their suffering but I also felt their fighting spirit. 9/10 rounded up to 5 stars.

Very fun album. I love the sound of “The Police”. The album as a whole does not feel sonically cohesive but there are so many hits that it feels like a “best of” compilation. Well done especially for a sophomore album.

Great album! I didn’t even know that Fela Kuti had children, much less the fact that they made music. I love longer songs and almost every song in this album is over 8 minutes. Really great listen, glad I found it.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? It’s AC/DC or as the aussies say, accadacca. Really great rock and roll especially for the time. Not exactly my personal style of music but it has its place (dad rock playing in the background at a barbecue). I personally give this album a 5/10. Rounded down for personal reasons.

I was actually aware of this album from previous deep dives into psychedelic rock. I can understand the hate that this album gets. It’s not exactly ground breaking and really just feels like a long drawn out droning guitar solo. The second half of the album becomes a series of uninteresting covers without much innovation. I am personally a fan of some jam music like “The Grateful Dead” and “King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard” but I find their jams to be more sonically interesting and evolving. If I did not enjoy psychedelic, progressive, or experimental rock music then this album would get a 1/5 stars. However for me, this album gets a 5/10.

This was actually my first time listening to this album all the way through. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed myself more than I thought I would. I was actually surprised when it finished because I felt like it should have been longer. I have listened to “Pure Heroine” and really enjoyed that album. I think “Melodrama” could potentially surpass “Pure Heroine” but I’ll need more time to listen to it. 9/10

Not really my thing. Some songs were good but overall I didn’t find any song as a standout or one that I would come back to.

Theres not much to say about this epic masterpiece. Truly one of the greatest albums ever made.

One of my favorite Kanye West albums.

Really happy to get this album! Such a fun listen.

Not my favorite style of music but I can appreciate how legendary this live album is.

Love down by the river!

Fun album. Not completely my style but enjoyable and upbeat

RIP Ozzy. Thank you the music!

I’d only heard “our house” so this was fun. Sounds like Ska music. Fun to dance to.

Can’t beat the clash!

Weird and unenjoyable. First song was good but it was all downhill from there.

Not a hig hip hop or rap fan but this is fire.

I was going to give it 4 stars but I was comparing it to other radio head albums. As a stand-alone it’s definitely a 5 star.

The first album I had to turn off. The first two songs were alright but it went downhill extremely quickly.

I still have no idea if I loved or hated this album. His voice is super challenging to listen to yet somehow I’m intrigued. I don’t think I will be listening to this album again any time soon but I can appreciate what the artist was going for and what he achieved. I wanted to give 4 stars but since I really actually did not enjoy listening to the album I have to give it 3/5.

Such a fun listen. I’m really happy o got this album. I was leaning towards 5 stars but I haven’t spent enough time with it. I enjoyed nearly every track though so this could have either gone 4 or 5 stars!

I enjoy ZZ Top but eventually each song starts to sound same same. There is a time and a place though.

I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy this album. I’ve actually seen Green Day live but I was too young to appreciate it. This album rocks!

Really fantastic!

I really thought that I’d enjoy this… I did not.

I really thought that I’d enjoy this… I did not.

I love this style!

I’d heard “The Passenger” from Breaking Bad and loved it. Really great album.

Generic 2000’s sounding album. I suppose it gets points for being first as it’s a 90’s album but it did not age well.

Fuck you.

Bad.

Meh

Not good.

The most boring repetitive album I have ever had the displeasure to listen to.

Another banger discovery that I might not have found without this project! It makes the mediocre and bad albums worth it!

I actually feel like Lovefool doesn’t fit well on the album. I really enjoyed all of the other songs. Maybe it’s just because I was familiar with Lovefool but it felt super jarring in the middle of an otherwise fun and unique album.

I actually didn’t find this album as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be but I guess I was in a pretty good mood when I listened to it. Overall not my favorite but I can see the vision. It did t exactly age well though.

Some really good songs and others that I simply did not enjoy. Overall I like The Police but I won’t scale my score up just because of their name.

Only 1 good song on this album which is why it gets 3 stars. Never realized how boring the rest of this album was until now.

Pretty great background music. I really enjoyed the first couple songs but it got a bit flat after that. Average album in my opinion.

I struggled with this one. I would probably give it 1 star if not for the “War Pigs” cover which is actually pretty good.

Would be a 5 if not for Moonchild sadly.

Daft Punk is undoubtedly an amazing duo in the history of electronic music but geez their debut really drags. I love parts of this album but as a whole it’s difficult to go from start to finish without needing a breather midway through. My love for Discovery, Random Access Memories, and Alive 2007 probably bump this album from a 3 to a 4 for me.

Anyone who gives this 1 star is actually trolling. This is one of the greatest records ever. Not every song is a perfect 5/5 but the album as a whole is so legendary.

I enjoy New Orders top hits but did not enjoy this album.

Nice and relaxing.

Ugh some Dylan is good but generally I struggle to listen to his albums front to back. I’m even a fan of harmonica but dang it can be piercing at time.

Classic!

Singer reminds me of Led Zep slightly. I enjoyed this.

I really enjoy Can but this is not my favorite album by them.

Better than Night at the Opera. At least this album is sonically cohesive but still nothing special in my opinion.

Really fun!

One of my favorites. J Spaceman is a legend. The only problem is it’s slightly triggering if you’ve ever had an opiate problem!

Amazing album albiet a bit front loaded.

I think I’ve been holding a grudge against U2 since I was 14 and Apple forced me to download their album onto my iTunes. I’ve since grown and realized this album is actually really impressive.

Terrible. Fr*nch “people” disgust me.
