1001 Albums Summary

Really balanced album I should reach for more often.

Sounds great, still. New favorite ‘Beatin’ Around the Bush’

This isn’t why the Pixies are great. It’s a fine album but it sounds like ‘Doolittle’ B-sides. After the third song it starts to sound same-y.

Bummer of an album but that's the way it's supposed to be.

Fun!

Perfect for 1980! Songs are nice and focused.

Good. The Bomb Squad was toned down and groovy!

They move as a band like a cat. Couldn’t find a pitchy note.

There’s a little fat. Not a ton. Most songs don’t grab me.

Mostly good songs mostly elaborately appointed.

There are a lot of hits on this one.

I’m sure it’s fantastic but reggae ain’t my jam -

The hits are great and still sound good. Everything else is standard issue dance pop.

Sounds of it’s time but still sounds good.

Great songs! Some clunkers. Still sounds great.

I don’t know why this album is on this list. It’s dull, thick and drowsy.

Man, this record is dumb, shrill and in a hurry. F!

Better than I thought but not my jam.

Pretty good but I thought the Stooges were more aggressive -

Good. I’m always surprised at Black Sabbath’s musicality. The drums sound like they’re the ones used on the Flintstones theme.

Good songs. Some horsing around that gets thin.

Still sparkly!

Most 17 tracks sounded the same.

Good! You can hear it echoed down through the years.

Pretty standard jazz …

Same as it ever was, which is fantastic!

I see how people went apeshit but it's seriously same-y

Been there, heard that

Goes down easy!

Second half is a snooze

Really good! Charlie Bird is tasty!

Nothing for me here

This is a soft pop record. They don’t have flutes and glocks and crap but they do sing ‘La la la la’

1995 first for Matador records!

Soundtrack for your fainting couch! Couldn’t finish it. Dramatic, samey, screechy.

Almost there, just need the songs

WTPD is a prog song. The longer it goes it the more it drags.

Weird, good. Funny. “Where the fuck did Monday go?” and “I can’t give away everything!” are two good choruses

Nothing for me here. Not listening.

I can see why it’s lauded. Doing this in the late 80s was only recently legal.

Better than I thought. More diverse in terms of grooves and arrangements

I wsnt to listen again.

Good songs!

Genius is right!

Fun, poppy, kitchen sink-ish production. A good time. I'd listen again but I wouldn't likely reach for it.

The hits were good

Shoulda been a single and left out all of that Broadway Bob Ezrin crap.

More upbeat than I anticipated.

Man, one hit and a bunch of other boring stuff.

Classic and still quite an ass kicker

Interesting but very of it's time

Decent

Better than I remember

kinda samey over all -

Bo-ring!

Pretty feral

Good hits and then some really under done shit

Sucked!

Still good - Short too

Mellow

Really energetic!

Yeah, still good -

Same

Fine

Flawless

Good effort, the songs weren't there

Fine but boring

Decent - Not earth shattering

Good but effin' long

Half good / Half wtf?

I gave it a shot

Pleasant -

Classic!

Eh, I didn't hate it

Tight!

I didn't hate it

Kinda snoozy, one hit

Pretty good, worth sitting through

Maybe three good songs and some meandering

Good amount of hits and it sort of meandered otherwise

Politely, not my thing.

Good as it ever was - Not a ton of fat!

Not my thing but is probably shit hot to jazzers

C'mon, it's CCR

Lotta fun! Scratchin' that Schlager itch!

Read about this record for years. Better than I thought. I'd listen again.

It wasn't all tinkly tinkly like I thought it would be. There were some tough grooves in there.

They got their Bowie on! Good songs was long but not boring

Boring UK 90's disco

Not bad, short

Nice, varied, I'll listen again -

Good for the time, kinda dull now

Bo-Ring!

Nice snot rock 'n' all. There was one tough groove. That was it.

Fine

Whatever -

Great!

Sucked! Listened to a cut and a half. Got angry, turned it off.

Pretty good - They were stretching

Fine

Songs are still good although a little cartoonish. This is the book of late '70s classic rock.

I got some distance from it and it's not bad - Occasionally boring ... But good overall

Good, Chic 'n' all

I listened to it but didn't hear it. Not my bag.

It's Graceland isn't it?

Sterling work!

Classic!

Solid - The back half lags like shit

One hit. Couple good songs. Some filler.

Whatever. Couple hits. Glenn Frey sounded ridiculous.

Good. A bit weird. I just don't have tropicalia ears -

Songs are good and all but some of it just is too smooth for me and it infected everything in music for about 7 years.

Long, good songs, good singin', good playin'

Most of it was good. Some of it was reaching for something that wasn't there.

Some good parts, some out there parts and in-between parts

It had a couple hits - After that the whole damn album was the same shitty song

Bo-Ring!

Good, wide, varied, LONG!

Straight up classic!

Great for it's time and later, just kinda clunky now

Better than I thought, I'll listen again.

About 1/3 the 'In YOUR MIND!' psych, 1/3 cutesy psych and 1/3 Ucky Ducky psych

It was fine

Interesting - I'd listen again

I thought it was a little boring but fun. Stephanie hated it.

Better than I thought. Not all of the songs are 'there' but the texture was nice.

I know they're super influential but I didn't get it

NOT what I thought it was going to be. Very enjoyable sort of orch-pop.

My god the caterwauling. That album had no point.

Well, it's Bob isn't it?

Pretty good, pretty varied

Couple hits, overall kinda samey and boring

Sucked! The 'we're recording this almost dead guy' schtick is kinda ... shitty

Better than I remember - Interesting vibes

Lotta carterwauling, no joy

There were three songs on this album that somehow became twelve songs ....

Still good, that sax though -

Sort of a hodge podge, mostly good songs but kinda schizophrenic

This thing still sounds freakin' great - Songs are good too - A couple sounded very alike -

Nice and varied, not all of the songs were there. The production was sometimes conspicuous

Man, that was a hard listen

Pretty good - Songs were nicely varied - Got that Fela funk

It was fine, didn't seem to have a point sometimes. Missing Persons vibes amongst a LOT of other things.

Long, but a nice change - Fun and smart

Liked it! What a groove!

I couldn't listen to this when I was younger. It's good though.

Bawdy, raunchy, what's not to love? It was Rocky Horror-licious!

Well, it's CCR isn't it?

Bo-ring!

Interesting bag. I'll listen again.

Good record! Groovy -

It was long and loud and went on a bit - Still good

Average

Near perfect, isn't it?

RCA sides, s'alright

Made it a minute - Not my thing

BO-RING! It was a ton of mellow and one hit -

Got a little monotonous - Overall good

That's some good Bowie!

Really good! Better than you'd think -

Still really good -

Decent. After a few more listens I'd probably 'see the light'

Kinda aimless. Not a lot of choruses.

It's ZZ Top, but not how I like them

Really good, if a little samey

Still haven't 'got' Genesis but this was pleasant

Still good!

The hits were good, it got samey

I don't need to listen to that again -

Won't listen to that again -

Uuuuuh, dunno what the fuss is. It was decent

It was a hit for a reason -

Decent. Nice hits.

Not bad - Got kinda same

Classic! Not everyone would like it but I sure do.

It was terrible but not complete dogshit -

Not bad, it got ponderous

Not my fave Zep but still good -

Okay, not a big album for me -

Good, better than I expected

Still really good - They had the songs

Decent - I'd listen again

Nothing else like it in '67. Nothing like it still -

Little unhinged and fun!

Hokey but enjoyable -

These guys are unique - They may go somewhere

I expected more from 'the only band that matters'

Good but LONG!

Long, kinda boring, a few good grooves

Fantastic! Never heard it before -

Better than expected - I'll listen again

English, cute, decent

It was alright, this record can really drag though

It wore me down. There were some great moments -

Well, yeah, it's REALLY good!

This was GOOD. Clunky, funky and weird!

Not impressed. Slow, plodding, emo Sabbath

Swagger!

This is where Marvin got the reputation. Marvin dealt in vibes -

Still haven't caught the magic yet -

Kind of a trick pony

There's a thirty minute album In here but it was 1992. It didn't wear as well as you'd think.

Raucus. I could hear CCR in it. But, blah -

It was okay - Meh, I guess

Nice, varied, the mandolins had not yet taken over

Did not like this - Plodding, brown, lumpy - Don't tell me I had to be there - This thing was ponderous

Good! I'd listen again!

Fun!

Really good - Nice chord changes and atmospheres

Moody, good. I'll listen again -

Yeah, I heard this earlier today. Still great!

Kinda serious - Good, but serious

They rocked on this album for about 19 seconds - I never liked X

Better than I remember - Still not a real chorus - It was fine

Loved it! Never heard it all the way through and it's a hoot!

I'm not the target audience for this but I gave it a shot. It didn't blow my skirt up. I'll try again later -

Kinda cutesy, kinda bluesy, kinda three different albums in one

All good!

Mostly slow, some good tunes

That album's a mess. No choruses.

Better than I remember. Goofy, stoney, good fun.

Boring ass UK disco

Good and LONG!

Classic for a reason

Too god damn much navel gazing shit on this record

Ambitious and empty.

Decent all the way through -

Dark and funky -

Really interesting. I'll listen again!

HEAVY!

Better than I thought. I'll listen to it again.

Good, long. It doesn't always work -

Don't need to hear this again -

Good fun!

Ultimately, kinda dull

Decent, snappy, didn't change my life.

Yeah, this is my shit

Couple good songs, not much else

Couldn't take it. Heard two songs and bailed

A little rough. They didn't know who they were yet -

Good record. Dug it.

I liked this one.

Not my favorite. Also, kinda samey.

This is what Wendy from Peter Pan listens to. Sounded like a doily.

Good, shame it wasn't taken more seriously

Not as bad as I thought but man did it get same

The songs were good but they straight burnt my ears off of my head with the guitar tones

Whatever - I don't know how anybody was impressed

It's good 'n' all, it's also kinda hokey -

The hits were hits, the rest?

Whatever -

Better than I thought - I'll have to listen again

Good, not mind blowing

Otis was king of soul

Better than I imagined. Apparently it's their odd ball album but they seemed right at home.

Yeah, yeah. Better than I thought, I can tell why it's important but I never got off on the whole 'bogus ominoso'

Dude put me to sleep

I liked it, I'll listen to it again. Over an hour and it rarely sounded samey

I've always been in to this one. Still am.

Boy was he pissed! Good record.

Good but it got really shriekey and shrill. Didn't like that.

Songs are good, arrangements are tight, good playin', good sangin'!

Some nice chord changes but mostly </yawn>

Better than I remember, nicely varied

Les Paul, Marshall and the complete classic rock guitar vocabulary BOOM! Right there -

Party in the front, electronics in the back

The best of the era, and some other eras -

Good hits, the rest is kinda meh

LONG. The hits were good but I guess it held together? I need to hear it again

Decent - Kinda long but such was the era - Really romantic

Kind of a mess - It's probably good but I don't think I'll hear it again

It was okay, LONG. Not a lot of choruses. That one hit then it kinda puddled. I likely won't reach for it again.

Did these guys invent Plodcore? Bored me to tears -

If this got trashed on release it didn't deserve it. The songs were interesting, I don't think it fit the prevailing concept of what 'country rock' should sound like.

Good, I remember it more epically -

Some of it sounded like The Mamas and Papas, Peter, Paul and Mary. It was okay - Not gonna change my life

Good. Sounded kinda like early 70's classic rock. I'll pull this out again.

Okay, didn't blow my skirt up so much

I get it. I couldn't finish it. I did half. I like choruses.

It's still good and it still smells like the summer of 1983

I didn't get it. This is the standard bearer for shoegaze? I was pretty bored.

Yeah? Whatever. The sound of it singed my ears clean off. The songs weren't that great t'boot.

Interesting - I'll likely never hear it again

Really good, balanced
