1001 Albums Summary

knights of cydonia

Emerson, Lame, & Yawner

Starts of really strong - second half peters off

I wanna cry, I wanna croon

It's a classic, but not my favorite highway

I'm gonna tell my mother; I'm gonna have a word with my father too

*Dial up noises* - it's a hard listen, and very experimental, but some of the more "traditional" electronic tracks definitely stand out

I'm more of a Paul guy

I swear there ain't no heaven, and I pray there ain't no hell

I wish I could wake up

What's the ugliest part of your body? I think it's your mind Intentionally off-putting / a bit obtuse, and definitely weird for lack of a better word - but still an interesting listen (but I'm in no rush to listen again anytime soon)

I walked Bob Dylan up on stage, who are you?! For real though, does *every* song have to be 10 minutes long? Bob just sounds kinda old and it overstays its welcome

While the subject matter is very heavy, and the context around the album's release time changes things - I still just don't like his singing style / voice

One of the best album covers of all time Great stuff, just a little too long, could have a little bit of fat trimmed

The second half is on a whole 'nother planet

One of the best album arts of all time, but not a huge fan of his voice NGL

enjoy the silence

+ Damon + also there are dogs on the cover

EVEN FLOOOOWWWW

A little too long, some fat to trim would make it a 5

I'M TAKING A RIDE WITH MY BEST FRIEND

Nice classic rock and roll with a voice full of soul - the first few tracks really stand out to me, very listenable - the middle / last chunk kinda blended together to me - I'd give it a 2.5 / 5 if I could.

Pretty standard sounding stuff for the Brit Pop, I actually don't mind this genre but a lot of these didn't stand out too much to me.

I actually didn't mind the instruments themselves, but the lyrics / singing were super off-putting (not because of being in French but because of the way he sings).

2.5 - kinda slow, no songs really stand out to me, but not horrible - expected a little more from all the names attached to this production

kinda slow / meandering - not a big fan of "guy talking" as the "singing"

I need to buy a plane ticket

All I wanna do - is have some fun - I got a feeling - I'm not the only one

The return of the Thin White Duke

AND I'M HUNGRY LIKE THE WOOOOLLLLLLFF

Thom Yorke is on this one

Ehh, not really my jam

IT'S MONK TIME

Eh, just cause Bowie helped produce it - doesn't mean I have to like it

Unexpectedly a big vibe - really mellow at times, but some cool ambiance and great piano throughout.

2.5 ?

IT'S BEEN A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, AND I'VE BEEN WORKING LIKE A DOG

If this album were just Bohemian Rhapsody - it would still be 5/5 - but fortunately it's hit after hit front to back, absolute perfection

A little too long - but some great tracks throughout

YOU PUT THE LIME IN DA COCONUT

It's a BOP

BABY YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR

A couple tracks throughout that I liked a bit, but for the most part didn't enjoy a lot of the tracks - not a fan of Mr. Cave's voice - great album art though!

Very good - a little long, but still great stuff

Monke

I liked some of the more ambient tracks, but the vocal tracks were not OK

I liked all the non "Autobahn" tracks - but that one just didn't jive with me, too long / slow, and unfortunately that takes up the majority of this album.

It might be a masterpiece, or it might be one of the most abrasive albums I've ever heard - not easy on the ears: but there's undeniably something going on here.

Mostly all fire tracks - a few that are a bit too repetitive, but for the most part a great listen

I still haven't found what I'm looking for (in this album) - I know it's a masterpiece, I know it's perfect, but every time I listen I just feel it's very very slow, U2 gets 2 from me

Super moody / ambient tracks - very groovy

It's interesting, to say the least... I liked their cover of "I heard it from the grapevine", but outside of that the rest is just okay.

Funky

DOY DOY

big man flute man

It's okay - not gonna lie only got halfway through and had other stuff to listen to

Didn't think I would like it - but it's a vibe

Not in a hurry to relisten to this one - but you can't doubt the chaotic mastery of sound and its impact.

The movie was better

Stop the train I think I'm going insane

A little long - but some good folk tunes throughout

I'm a sucker for early concept albums

The Transylvania rock song was awesome, the rest was fine

Life changing

Here in my car...

It's really good when he's not mumbling

A slower, more somber George - but still some great tracks and deep lyrics

Some certified BOPs on this one

Sounds way ahead of its time

ethereal, angelic

Definitely sounds ahead of its time, and very very unique - even if it's not all my jam

Talkin' bout my g g g g g g generationnnn

It's really good, just a little too long

I LOVE LIFE

ICHI NI SAN SHI -reaches levels of FUNK never before recorded

SMOOOTH OPERATOR

I've become, comfortably numb

Kelly, look at the stars

He wasn't lying, it was a short album about love

Abstract cover, super chill jams, I don't know why but it really did resonate with me; definitely does not sound like it's from 1972.

UNDER THE BOARDWALK

I liked Pink Moon a little more, but still some great stuff

Great album cover

I like the song that was 5 minutes of a dog barking

Sorry, Joni
