1001 Albums Summary

Good guitar riffs, but I’m not a fan. Made for a musical.

The music was too slow for me. Nice acoustic guitar through the album, but not a fan.

Iconic album for early metal fans. Wasp is the best song on this album. So many bands try to imitate the sound. R.I.P. Ozzy

This album makes you think about the trials and tribulations of inner city life in Chicago and in America. Iconic debut b4 the crazy came out! Collaborating with hip hop’s greatest rappers. Several hits songs in one album. Skits are Crazy, stupid, and hilarious!

The album has a mix of gospel, blues, soul, jazz and hip-hop. Common’s poetry of life in Chicago, Black history and culture gives a positive vibe to hip-hop, that makes Common a legend. Not many hit songs, but the lyrics are attention grabbing.

Sounds like any of these songs in the album could be in a Tarantino film!

Futuristic sounds fusing Afro beats, Hip hop, jazz, classical, big band, dance and R&b in a Theatrical/futuristic style. An audiophile’s treasure trove of sounds. The lyrics bring love, feminism, self identity and expression. Sounds like Barry Manilow , Beyoncé, OutKast, prince, Michael Jackson. Songs are good for workouts!

Part 2 of Marvin Gaye’s inner city blues. Important album brings counter culture in the black community. Songs about junkies, dealers, and pimps/gangsters. Album is and extension to the super fly soundtrack, but the message is clear “We can all deal with rockets (NASA) and dreams (MLK), but reality, what does it mean?”

The beginning of the album has the best hits with Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me", "All These Things That I've Done" and "Smile Like You Mean It". After these hits the album fizzles out and becomes background music!

Arcade fire’s sound becomes redundant and winy after awhile. I can handle a few of their songs and “wake up” “rebellion” are the only 2 songs I like in this album.

Hands down one of the top albums for Mettalica and for metal fans. I can’t get enough of the mellow quitar sounds then thrusting into hard guitar riffs and lyrics. A must for anyone tired of the “system”!

Yawn! Not a fan of this Album. More into what was played on the radio in the early 80s. Suberbia, west end and it’s a sin.

Very richly orchestrated album with the “Bee Gees” signature vocals. I never knew they did music outside of disco! Lyrics are impressive.

Who let Jesse Eisenberg make an album! Great radio played songs with an eclectic synthesized sounds of hip hop, bluegrass, blues, rock and country!

An audiophile’s delight. These guys are trailblazers in the electronica genre. Reminiscent of earlier bands like The Art of Noise and Depeche Mode.

I had no idea this album was about Bowie’s alter ego! I could picture the scenes in my head. The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust made for good listening.
