1001 Albums Summary

Fun record!

Probably their most diverse record musically. It’s a classic for a reason.

Soul filled take on country music

British in the very best way

Good accompanying music. Coltrane’s playing is a bit over the top. Not my cup of tea.

From Folk to driving guitar anthems,Led Zeppelin has a far more diverse sound than given credit for.

Jazz at its finest

Overall a solid record, but very same-y.

The best selling 2 star record of all time!

Pioneering punk record.

Electronic music that sounds like it was groundbreaking when it was first released. Now it sounds like what you hear when you walk through a casino in Las Vegas.

Energetic Rock

Goth Rock Supreme!

Noise Punk is definitely not my jam. While I see what they were going for, I still hate it.

You can hear the sounds that influenced a whole ton of band.

A Britpop classic!

Kinda interesting… kinda sad and depressing. Overall, it’s a decent record

Early Cure. More punk edged than anything else they’ve done, but with glimpses of what’s to come.

Worldly Irish Folk Punk

The record that matters most from the only band that matters

It made sounds that hurt

Interesting but disjointed.

Ethereal and swirling. It just has a vibe.

A downtempo essential

A teenage rock opera dream

This album is the sweetest perfection Start to finish it’s great. Amazing songs. Well paced. Not a note out of place.

Out there sounds and funk grooves that will sampled until the end of music.

Highly influential to most alternative music. Way ahead of its time.

A covers collection that Willie makes his own.

Modern pop music starts here

Some things are inevitable. Death… Taxes… and Kid Rock putting out music that sucks.

Seminal rap record. Unfortunately it hasn’t aged well due to subject matter and it’s a bit misogynistic. Later eclipsed by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube’s solo work. You can definitely see the blueprint for what’s to come from West Coast rap.

It had its moments. But overall not great.

Incredibly diverse in its sound. Especially for a 00’s pop album. What’s great is really great. What’s mediocre is aggressively mediocre. If you can listen to this album in Spatial Audio,I highly recommend it.

Stark but beautiful.

Brooding, dark and theatrical.

Fascinating and captivating

A half baked album with one all timer.

Joni Mitchell is an acquired taste. Unfortunately, it is one I have yet to acquire.

Melancholia at its finest. If I could rate in half-stars it would be a 3 1/2 star record.

Interesting and creative

Green Day’s most fully realized album. A must listen.

The third best Pink Floyd album.

Sonically and musically amazing. Lyrically… not so much.

Island flavored smooth jazz pop confection.

The foundation that classic rock radio was built on. The songs on this album are all in the overplayed hall of fame. There’s a reason that is.

Solid pop record. More good songs than I remember originally.

This album didn’t suck as much as I thought it would.

What’s good is really good. What’s bad is really bad. Fortunately, the good outweighs the bad.

Smooth soul classic

How can an album be totally awesome and suck so much at the same time?

Riot girl punk rock… with saxophone!

This is not just a Christmas album. This is THE Christmas album.

I’m only giving this one star because you don’t have a choice but to give something one star. If it was up to me it would be removed from the list. I kept waiting for something redeemable in this record and it never happened.

Incredible album. For the time, their sound was revolutionary. While it seems unfair to dock it a star due to length, It drags on a bit too long. If some of the fat was trimmed it’s a perfect 5 star album. As is, it’s “merely” 4 stars.

Outside is America

Very much a product of its time and also visionary. This one isn’t for everyone, but for the people it’s for, it’s a helluva record.

Wildly Bombastic! It has a little of everything. Almost like it should be the soundtrack to a medieval dystopian space western. The closest sound analogy I can make is Queen meets Depeche Mode.

It droned on…

Unfortunately the artist can’t really be separated from the art.
