The Visitors

ABBA

3/5

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

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

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

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5

I liked it. Fun, dynamic, without sounding busy.

The Specials

3/5

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

Pearl Jam

2/5

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

4/5

Good vibes, weighted blanket of an album

Dirt

Alice In Chains

1/5

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

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

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

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

3/5

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

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

Hell Yeah!

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

Okay we’re hitting a hot streak now

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Franny McDormand was right; devil's music.

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

4/5

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

The Isley Brothers

4/5

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

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

5/5

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

British Steel

Judas Priest

1/5

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

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Helicopter

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

Damn it Morrissey and his stupid heel turn

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

1/5

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

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

Piccolo's running with a pretty wild crowd.

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

🔁xAll Weekend

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

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

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

Fleetwood Mac without the spicy toxic relationships

Odelay

Beck

4/5

This American Life's transitions owe Beck an explanation.

Signing Off

UB40

1/5

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

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

Must be the 1001st album on this list. Woof

The Cars

5/5

Front to back stacked

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

1/5

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.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5
