1001 Albums Summary

A delightfully energetic rock album, with some very memorable songs. 4/5

Some very iconic songs in this upbeat R&B album

An interesting, relaxed rap album. The piece entitled Jazz was particularly memorable

An interesting rock album, though not one that is exactly to my taste. This is Love stood as particularly memorable. Most of the other pieces were alright, though I think some of the lyrics were questionable

A delightful album, with mesmerising vocals and witty lyrics

A fun alternate rock album from the UK. A bit too slow for 5/5, but still a great album

A really weird and interesting alternate rock album, reminiscent of some of MCR’s early albums. It is rare to stumble on something quite like this

A really fun and original rock album

An undoubtedly talented rock musician, but this album was a bit slow for me

A really interesting and unique rock album, with some very memorable (if bizarre) pieces

Fantastic and iconic album

A classic rock album. Time and mimicry may have stripped it of some of its originality, but it was a very fun listen nonetheless. Joplin does an amazing job on the vocals

This was a very unique-sounding album

The iconic ABBA sound, but not the iconic ABBA songs

I have never been a fan of the Beatles, and honestly this album confirms my initial impressions. Apparently, according to Rob Ager at least, this work inspired Stanley Kubrick when he directed the Shining. I hope for the Maestro’s sake that the bulk of the inspiration came from Throne of Blood (as his notes suggest) and not from this album. « Here comes the Sun » stood out, only because I distinctly remember waking up to this song after falling asleep watching a crackpot theory about The Shining Overall, the style and music is too languid

A delightful and longing collection

At, first, I didn’t think the style would appeal to me, but Time Will Break the World changed that

Great album, though not Joel’s best
