1001 Albums Summary

A great thievery of black American music :)

Oof.

A good contender against the might of Genesis.

Super stupid, but fun.

Good find

Superb

If patchouli was an album...

Good, but not Bowie good.

The glitter's all wet :)

3 only because I feel like I have to.

Appreciated for what it is.

This ain't music.

Mezzanine is better

Superb.

Booooooorrrrring.

I cannot for the life of me understanding the fuss over this albu.. Completely unremarkable apart from track 1, which saves it from a 1-star rating. If this "capturures the shifting zeitgeist of the 70s" they should have left it the fuck alone.

Orange crush... 2024 theme song? This was good.

Drugs sound awesome

Good ol' fun.

Bleh.

Mmmmm, steak.

That's right. Only 3. (Suck it, Cody.)

Sarah Mclaughlin's best.

Got it bad. So bad.

Should The End reeeeaally take so long to get to the end?

I, too, can write music while drunk and watching children's cartoons.

Takes a long hard look at Randy...

Can Metallica sound like generic Metallica? Seems so.

Produced by Bowie and then went hard right. Hmm.

All you got to do is call

Surprisingly poor. Unimaginative, derivative, bullshit. Makes sense that this was a high bar for a decade that idolized Zach Morris.

Not my vibe. Don't drink enough sarsaparilla...

It sounded exactly like what it was: someone w zero musical talent - who had the right attitude at the right time, and was therefore told he was a genius - actually believing he was a genius and trying to do something that was both advant guarde and as equally as edgy as his previous, attitude driven, work. My dog produces more palatable turds.

Like a big, soft pillow. Zzzzzzz.

So this is why Phish sucks.

Painfully obvious on this one that Bono can't sign.

Just uninteresting.

Really poor.

Prétentieux.

A fantastic collection of songs. Those who argue otherwise are those same kids in school who confused obstinancy w coolness. That said (and who am I to argue with the genius of George Martin), the songs seems to be out of order...

English does not have a superlative appropriate enough to convey the genius that is Dave Brubeck. This is the best that jazz has ever been - they should have just stopped making it after this. The genre has not, and never will, get any better.

This ain't Dub.

Good garage rock

Bleh.

Not horrible to the ears, but could have just listened to the same song 12 times.

Like someone took a shit in your ear canal.

Bad Talking Heads rip off.

Very of the era - enjoyable listen.

If only The Beatles had drumming this good

The best of Icelandic funk pop.

Trying too hard to be epic.

Solid.

Amazing slice of fried golden grunge!

Having only known The Killing Moon prior, I expected better.

Do we even need to listen to rate?

Oof.

Super enjoyable, poor girl.

Repetitive meh.

Right here, right now, I need to praise you for your weapon of choice. (None of these are on this album)

Sounds like a toddler w a toy keyboard demanding to his parents "Look what I can do!" "Yes, Honey, that's VERY nice..." *drink

Juvenile lyrics and a deaf banjo player who seemed to forget he was pt of a band.

Surprise.

Just fucking awesome. Banger after banger.

Irreverent in its capture of the zeitgeist of an angst-ridden era. Crack a fucking smile gents.

A surprise for sure. Boppy.

If sitting in an idling car was an album.

Everything sounds the same. Is that the point?

Music to smash Venca to.

I try not to apply a 2025 lens when listening to an album, but man, that was hard to listen to at times.

I was expecting A LOT better from the album w "Superstition" on it.

Double album? Sure.

Noise.

The album captured the irreverent and narcissistic zeitgeist of the early 1980s. Unapologetic in its embrace of the evolving pop-centric hegemony, yet caustic in its flippant irony. Head bopping fun.

Frenchier than a mime w a baguette on a bicycle

Bonus points for the political views.

Shlit.

I bet this guy killed at open mic night on campus.

Needs Billy Bragg.

Just exhausting.

Imagine intentionally following up Rumors w this nonsense.

Not a bad song on there.

The voice of a spotty-faced angel

Super enjoyable - great message.

Layla, surrounded by 1h 7m of middling filler. Meh.

Head spinning fun

Just awful. This must be #1001.

Angry 90s grunge girl rock. I live.

Not their best.

Everyone had such pretty eyes in the early 90s...

You know its good when both Adidas and Joe Perry make cameos.

4 "Hee-Yucks" out of 5. Jaunty country fun for simple men everywhere with pistols in their pockets (says it all).

A three for sledgehammer, disregarding the pretention of the remainder.

Irritating.

Voice of an angel.

Well that was interesting

Hard to judge on the four songs available

Super enjoyable. But excuse me while I go throw myself off a bridge.

Some great, some not so great.

Awful

A bit of a slog to get to Come On, Eileen. Not unworth it...

Mumble, mumble, mumble - harmonica. Mumble, mumble, mumble - harmonica. Mumble, mumble, mumble - harmonica.

Derivative.

Maybe you had to be there.

Funky

Cringy af.

This would normally be my kinda thing, but I found this overly simplistic and repetitive. The musical equivalent of "are we there yet?"

You can skip this one. There's at most 45 seconds of engaging music in it.

Fucking amazing. Paper Planes turns out to be one of the lesser tracks on this ethnic mélange of deep base brilliance.

5 - but you gotta be in the mood for it.

This was just not enjoyable. Very much a let down. I guess we need to keep in mind that the 80s was the height of the cocaine crisis...

Music to hate your parents to. You're not even my real Dad!!!!

Nope.

Top tier Bowie.

Pretty good. Nice surprise.

Not bad but, by the end, not very interesting.

Acceptable background music. Sounded like the 5th Element soundtrack, but less interesting.

Aggravating.

Nice find. Toe tapping.

Music for waiting for your dentist.

Common Ppl remains one of THE songs of the 90s. Album good back up.

Back when plumbers butt was sexy.

Back before Liv Tyler's dad started looking like my mom... solid.

Cool music. No stand outs tho.

"Pretention" doesn't come close enough. If you're going to be this much of a navel-gazing ass, your songs need to be better.

So, when Flava Flav said he wasnt ever going to sell out, that wasn't like a forever promise, eh?

How have I not been listening to this ballsy ball of talent all my life?

Two songs worth listening to - Freedom is a monster earning the 3. The rest is sap.

I all of a sudden have rather ambivalent feelings toward Satan...

Super uninteresting apart from the numerous covers.

Really good. This girl's gonna go far.

Music that makes you want to do a deep stretch.

These Junkies need some uppers. Pretty music, but sleepy.

Budget 80s Lou Reed.

Music your college roommate was obsessed with. Some great 90s rock anthems in there. But, 30 years later, has anyone figured out yet what the fuck Eddie was saying? "EVEN FLOoow, walked-around like-BUTTERknives." Like, wtf?

Riot grrrl righteousness.

Is it just me, or is this kinda pitchy, Dawg? Plus, everything is a run, makes it kinda hard to listen to tbh.

Needs Young.

By far the most unnecessarily eclectic album I've ever heard. Pick a lane. Some songs were actually pretty good, others sounded like a joke. Mr Skin a standout.

"I Got My Brand on You" is an absolutely alarming allegory. Good blues tho.

Like a hug for the ears.

Radio safe grunge. Nothing to write home about at all.

MUMBLER! I bet the audience was sitting down for the whole concert.

About as enjoyable for the ears as falling on a Q-tip.
