1001 Albums Summary

I liked knowing the “big hit” song. That was a fun surprise. I wish we were stoned while listening. 3/10

Wasn’t bad

Catchy tunes. They had missed opportunities with lyrics though… about animals..

I like harmonicas.

It’s like a soundtrack from a traumatizing movie Brian would make me watch.

Enjoyed the commentary between songs.

Would have liked it more if it were a rock-opera. Bright costumes. Choreography. Lights.

Wonderful musicians.

This album gives me so much anxiety.

Strange ordering of songs, but overall enjoyable.

I believe real fans call them “Scully Dan”.

I’d give it a 2.5 if I could. Very strange, but had some decent songs.

He sounds like Brian’s Kermit the Frog imitation.

Why are these songs so long

They’re like the Beastie Boys meets Lincoln Park. In a good way.

What kind of drugs was this man on?

Every song sounds the same. Not a great album to mow the lawn to.

I had no idea he had such strong religious components. Very talented musicians.

It’s like a bad movie-musical soundtrack

Why is this the third time these songs are on this list?

He was a lot better when he was openly dissing the Orange Monster.

Not really memorable.

Gives me Queen vibes

During the first song I thought, “Hmm.. this sounds like the band who does ‘Smoke on the Water’.” I’ll be damned if a few minutes later I was right.

Why is this even on the list? Who decided this?

What a wild ride of emotions.

I could listen to this all day.

Who made this list?

The repetitive lyrics drove me nuts.

Ok so I really thought at first he was related to Sam Smith

Balanced instruments. Great vocals.

I swear some of these songs were part of soundtracks to disturbing videos Brian made me watch.

I was surprised by this one.

Little too long.

Blown away. Such talent.

I’d really give it a 3.5

Wtf is this and why is it on this list

Rating only for musicians

These guys have some major issues.

Very disturbed songwriter.

Wow, where to begin. I had low expectations from what I’d read, and they were not wrong. I have never let ads play through without skipping. It was the only reprieve from the torture that was that album.

He needs sex addiction therapy.

Catchy songs, but as an album there’s no growth, no flow.

I definitely thought this was a Black trio from the 1950s. I particularly enjoyed “A Song With No Words”.

It’s like Phil Collins and Lenny Kravitz found a xylophone and then wanted to be Billy Joel.

Very surprised by my own rating.

She’s so talented. Loved it.

If I didn’t hear “Fast Car” in various renditions 100x a week I may have given it a 5.

The dude really grew on my the more I listened. I found myself humming his tunes after listening to the album. I am surprised.

Great flow

Would have rated higher if instrumentals were better. Great vocals.

Would have rated higher if vocals were better. Great instrumentals.

Thanks to years of Brian’s music pop-quizzing, I know it’s Billy Corgan.

Surprisingly fun.

As singles, they're good. Makes total sense. As an album, I’m so stressed

I appreciated the ode to TV dinners.

I was not prepared for that rollercoaster of lyrics. Almost did a spit-take with my driving cereal.

Little “yee haw” for me.

Great instrumentals, but most of the songs were kind of disturbing.

I really think he recorded in his bathroom.

Great musicians.

Female vocalist is very talented. Male vocalist is screechy and gives me anxiety.

Misheard a lot of lyrics

I have an urge to watch “Home Alone”.

I listened while shoveling snow and pretended it was the soundtrack to a movie montage. It helped.

His cadence drives me nuts.

I like the rhymes.

Had a Michael Jackson meets Temptations feel.

Not what I was expecting.

It’s like a Bond soundtrack

I liked the instrumental songs.

They have a “A Perfect Circle” meets “The Fray” sound. Pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the album.

The album cover earned it a one-point higher rating.

Very excited there’s a whole album dedicated to my 🐎 Layla-bayla.

Actually a very sweet album. While the band name is akin to a 1999 AOL username (“choose something you like”, see mine: poniesdogs because horsespuppies was already taken). I enjoyed how it felt from the heart in certain songs.

Each song starts with the same exact chords.

Just … why?

Would not be surprised if he were named in a certain large file…

They remind me of “Cake” and also give me flashbacks to working in a restaurant where the prep chef forced us all to listen to shitty techno and repeatedly changed the Bluetooth password to the speaker.

It’s …. Strange.

They sound like Brian when he does his Kermit the Frog impression.

They got an extra star because they have a whole song about how they love me.

Strange album by a strange dude. “Labyrinth” makes more sense now.

Lost a star because of who he is as a human. Lost another star for talking shit about being a lifelong learner 😂

I feel very shiny and happy after listening.

In the words of my husband who walked into the room while I was listening, “wow, this music is sexy!”

🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤯

1. I didn’t know Carole King was white. 2. Who knew there could be 44 minutes of the same themes/sentiments of how good of a friend she is.

Not the best album for a white woman in a Subaru to listen to while driving into the South Side of Chicago 😅 appreciated the Alexander Hamilton reference

Very middle of the road.

Great movie soundtrack music. Not great everyday listening.

Forgettable.

Very… interesting..

Wtf

Cannot condone their pedophilic lyrics nor actions.

I enjoyed it.

Getting pretty tired of this ‘70s hippie crap.

It’s like The Who had a baby with The Partridge Family.

Perfect listening for ripping out fencing.

It’s like the songs I make up about my wonderful dog.

I feel like if I give her anything lower she will find me and stab me in the kidneys.

Disgusting.

Only giving a 2 for the musicians.

Are they a multi-genre cover band? Are some original songs inspired by other artists?

did y’all know he was white?

Way too long.

Why is this a thing

Some girls are bigger than others; some bands are better than most. Not the case, here.

Picturing the Techno Viking dancing to each song.

“Man they sound a lot like Queen.. oh wait..”

I like fiddles.
