The Visitors by ABBA
Aug 25 2025

Good, but didn't get it's hooks in. I'll need to relisten to give it a fair shake.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Aug 26 2025

Nice sounds, listened once to feel it and another to hear the lyrics.

The Specials by The Specials
Aug 28 2025

I'm not a big fan of Reggae, just feels like the on ramp to punk but then gets meandry. That said a lot of this worked for me, and it's interesting to hear how those two genres overlapped in unexpected ways.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Aug 29 2025

This album was pretty unavoidable in my part of the world. Nice nostalgia replay, but it gets a little samey after a while.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Sep 01 2025

Good vibes, weighted blanket of an album

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Sep 02 2025

Woof. Loved this as a kid but it was a slog to get through now.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 03 2025

Pretty cool emotional contrasts and interesting arrangements, definitely circling back to this one soon.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Sep 04 2025

Strong opening song, hadn't heard of this band but enjoyed most of this album.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 08 2025

Okay weโ€™re hitting a hot streak now

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Sep 09 2025

Franny McDormand was right; devil's music.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Sep 10 2025

This guy looks like JD Vance's Sims avatar and I think I judged this too harshly because of it. Suh-leek new wave sounds, new fan.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Sep 11 2025

Classic in every sense of the word. Nice to hear again.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Sep 12 2025

Love to hear some of early Pink Floyd's well.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Sep 15 2025

Oof, fair few guitar riffs that still work and the drums don't miss, but it ain't my bag.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 16 2025

Helicopter

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Sep 18 2025

Interesting voice, I get his popularity, but wasn't doing much for me. That fiddle opening Cut Across Shorty wasn't slouching though.

Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 22 2025

๐Ÿ”xAll Weekend

Who's Next by The Who
Sep 23 2025

They all peed on that wall moments before this photo was taken.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Sep 24 2025

Fleetwood Mac without the spicy toxic relationships

Odelay by Beck
Sep 25 2025

This American Life's transitions owe Beck an explanation.

Signing Off by UB40
Sep 26 2025

Couldn't do it, held out for the Randy Newman cover, but it's just a slog to me.

The Cars by The Cars
Oct 02 2025

Front to back stacked

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Oct 03 2025

This list of albums is padded heavily with huge singles that are in otherwise dud albums. If there's one thing I'm taking away from this 1001 album project it's how blatantly critics pander to flavors of the week.
