1001 Albums Summary

Great voice and production. Reminds me of Tim Burton movies! I especially liked “Deer Stop”, “Felt Mountain” and “Oompa Radar”. Wouldn’t have discovered this album without the list! Although I liked several songs, it’s not something I would listen to on a regular basis. I’ll look a little more into the band and their songs, because I found the album haunting and elegant - I enjoyed listening! :)

I respect Linkin Park for the way they have defined the genre with this album and how they have influenced plenty of other artists. It is not my prefered type of music to listen to, therefore I knew it wasn‘t going to be my favourite. Everyone knows “In the End”, along with the other singles from the album. The songs I liked most were “By Myself” and “A Place for My Head”. I get why it is on this list, won‘t listen to it a ton tough.

As to expect from Swift, great songwriting and catchy songs. The so-called “Pop Bible” is a no-skip album to me. Altough it is very mainstream, making good pop music is also a craft to appreciate. The singles “Style”, “Blank Space” and “Shake it Off” are known worldwide, but the album has way more to offer. One of my favourite songs off the album - “Clean”, really showcases her ability of writing relatable but also profound. Even Imogen Heap, who worked alongside Taylor on the track, was surprised at her songwriting skills. Altough Taylor is one of the most famous musicians on earth right now, her talent is overlooked most of the time. I also really like “You Are in Love”, which describes the relationship of her producer and friend, Jack Antonoff and his former girlfriend. With its memorable bridges and phrases, 1989 remains one of the best pop albums off modern history. Really enjoyed revisiting this record.

A classic. From iconic guitar riffs to ballads, all songs are recognisable and very 70’s. Nothing much to say, might be a bit overplayed but the singles make up for it. Huge fan of the title track, as well as “Life in the Fast Lane” and “New Kid in Town”. Surprisingly, I also really liked the Reprise of “Wasted Time”, although that might be an unpopular opinion. Great album.

I was really surprised at how much I liked this album. Some lyrics made me want to roll my eyes and the album feels dated - it‘s very 90‘s. Manson‘s vocals are superb though and I enjoyed the dark, gloomy and alt sound of the tracks. My favourites were “Fix Me Now”, “Stupid Girl” and “Vow”. Glad to have discovered this album through the list!

Felt like listening to the Beatles! I liked it, but most of the songs were pretty forgettable.

Very repetitive but I liked it overall. It’s nostalgic and fun - I enjoyed the listening experience!

Unfortunately not my taste at all. Weird lyrics and repetitive.
