1001 Albums Summary

I’d cook a really nice meal alongside this

Nothing short of revolutionary

Like a smooth cup of coffee

Controversial… I love a few songs and I think it’s a good album, but overall I feel eh

Really good for speedwalking, but a bit repetitive

Started off as a 3 for me, then became a 5, so with the powers of averages I feel 4 is most fitting

Oh this was excellent

It wasn’t for me

I want to love björk, but I need to speak my truth… it felt like I was listening to the treblemakers half the time

If I was doing coke in a grungy warehouse I think this would be 5 stars… For a genre that I don’t usually listen to, I can appreciate and respect it

Reminds me of my teen years going into musty vintage stores in Brighton, blueberry bubble tea in hand

It’s like if Björk and Kiki Rockwell had a weird little baby

I really don’t click with metal, but I can see why this is deeply respected

I have a playlist where I add my favourite songs from each album… I really struggled picking one from this because they were all just that good, and if that’s not a sign then idk what is

I had fun and it makes me yearn for an outfit a la Robin Sparkles

Enjoyed it, not sure if I LOVED it but a couple of standout songs

This album was the soundtrack to my dissertation

I can’t particularly pinpoint why I didn’t enjoy this, but I just didnt

It makes me feel nostalgic for my hometown

Oh this is goooood

Funkier bass lines than I expected

I could barely finish it

Feeling entirely neutral about it

I liked it for what it is

It reminds me of the London 2012 Olympic Games and I will not elaborate

I was whelmed

I cooked a really nice pumpkin pasta whilst listening to this

I mean how could it I not give it 5 stars

I was actually pleasantly surprised after I got through the first two songs

This was excellent from start to finish

there’s a real sense of soothing and grooving i always get when listening to Stevie

Kate Bush and my mother single handedly raised me

I regret not listening sooner

I really didn’t like this one and tbh I don’t entirely get why it’s here personally… but at least it’s not Rod Stewart

I’m so sorry for having low expectations

I hated it I’m so sorry Ryan

Finally my ADHD has a voice

I don’t really want to listen to any of the lyrics

Yeah good stuff

2 stars for the album cover only, otherwise dear god what did I just listen to

I enjoyed it, I just can’t justify a 4… I wish I could half point

I mean… how could I not

Maybe my dad was onto something when he wouldn’t stop talking about depeche mode

I feel like I’m missing something… but I did enjoy a lot more than the first CCR album I’ve had on here

It really is THAT album

It’s the sort of music my grandad listens to and it just makes me feel so joyous and warm inside

… tbh I literally have nothing to say other than I did not think I needed to listen to this before I died

Apart from the first couple of mins, I actually really digged this

Grew up on the Beatles, but oddly haven’t ventured far into post-Beatles careers… good stuff

I really didn’t enjoy it

Why is there so much Elvis Costello on this list

If the Saw franchise was an album

Taking me straight back to being a depressed 15 year old stomping around Brighton

Mother

hm no

Had a little cry on the bus along to this… good stuff

Yeah I digged it, especially the latter half of the album

Honestly was expecting a lot worse, p decent just quite unmemorable

I mean… it’s Led Zeppelin !!

I’ve never sat down and listened to U2 and I’m not entirely sure why because that was excellent

I enjoyed but didn’t love

Man what an artist he was

Eh

A very pleasant surprise… those transitions were EXCELLENT

In funkadelic we trust

Not my fave album but has some of my fave Beatles songs

One of my fave albums of all time… it really has that “the world is so big and vast and full of wonder and it’ll be all okay” feeling

Go girl give me nothing

It was fine

I don’t have anything too specific to say other than once again, some banging stuff

Omg it’s FKA twigs from mention in the Laura Dern song at the 2020 indie spirit awards fame!!!

It makes me yearn for a 90s childhood I never had

It was a little goofy at times ngl… but I had fun!

Solid stuff

Enjoyed, but I probs wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to again

Nice and smooth

I forgot to rate at the time but I remember enjoying it

Don’t really have too much to say about this one

Go girl give me nothing

Phewwww the guitars

Still gutted I missed her DJing in that random bar in Reykjavik when I went

I had so much fun… this is exactly why I’m doing this

I couldn’t get past the first 4 songs sorry

Gun to my head and I can pick 1 album to listen to one more time, this is the album

I can’t really remember how I felt about it so I’m taking that as it was very neutral for me

I mean… it’s perfect

It was fine

Yeahhhh

If Stevie Wonder has no fans, I am dead

Groovy as hell

I loved it???

Please make him stop appearing

I think I have a bit too much of a headache to fully enjoy it… tbc on relisten

I enjoyed, but it didn’t feel groundbreaking idk

It has such a 90s vibe to it

Some good stuff, I wasn’t like wow this is amazing

Oh this was fun

I respect it but it’s not for me

Layla just kinda is one of the best songs ever written

It just wasn’t for me

No notes

It wasn’t for me but my therapist was sad I didn’t like it

Nice and funky

More mellow than I expected ?? Idk what my expectations were tbh but I liked it

Pains me but I just can’t quite justify a 4

One banger (obviously) but otherwise I enjoyed but didn’t LOVE

My world wasn’t shifted by it yanno

Just a bit mid for me

Would acc be a 4.5 but I can’t justify rounding up

Just a little bland for me

My dad’s gonna hate me for not rating it higher… sorry Steve

It made me feel ethereal

Perfect levels of melancholy on this grey winter morning

No complaints from me

Would be 3.5 if I could

Like an old familiar friend

It has the same energy as the leftist punk bar I went to in Kraków last month… love the bar but I don’t actually enjoy listening to this that much

Oh this grew on me very quickly

Good background music

Been waiting for a Beatles album for a while.. a classic

The irony of me struggling to find a Christmas album to open presents to yesterday and I hadn’t checked this site until Boxing Day…

I mean… it’s Gershwin and Fitzgerald

Okay daddy

It started off really strong and got worse for me

I don’t often listen to rap but goddddd this was smooth

Ngl quite cathartic listening to this on my period

It did grow on me a lot, still not quite my personal vibe but I’d listen again passively

Why is everyone in the reviews in Dresden have I missed something

Pure excellence

I mean… yeah

Very 60s, very crooner

To be honest it was exactly what I expected (not in a bad way)

This charmed me icl

It’s like… fine that I’ve listened, maybe some bangers

A nice easy listen

It’s true, they are some funky ass beats

Good vibes

Smooth as hell

Started off so strong and then ??

It’s just too long for something I don’t care for

So today I learnt that Elliott Smith didn’t write Thirteen

I feel like it should be higher and there are some bangers but idk it didn’t hit too hard for me

I liked the weird little alien sounds

A classic!

Sam you’ve done it again

I mean yeah of course

Hell yeah

Yeah I get why people like this

A nice fun vibe for my Mario gaming

I usually like funk, really wasn’t enjoying this

No particular comments other than yes I enjoyed

Idk why but my brain always gets Van Halen and Metallica mixed up so imagine my surprise when the synths started

Not my fave Kate Bush album but yeah my mother was right to be a hardcore fan since forever

Well I’m a peanut bar and I’m here to say, your cheques will arrive on another day

I respect it but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t struggle with it

Smooth … (operator)

Crunchy guitars

god this was angsty

Some I liked, some I didn’t

And what if I said I thought this is overrated

nice cunk reference

It passed time

kinda kills me to score this low because there are some 5 star songs… but yeah idk

Funky Mr Hancock, funky as hell

I felt wholly neutral

No notes, just vibes

idk I struggled with this one more than I expected

#yeah

God I struggled with this

David Byrne is full of such whimsy

Like an old familiar friend

Can’t explain it but the spelling of Martyn makes a lot of sense for this music

Made a mediocre orzo whilst listening to this

This was fun!

It was fine

Bit boring

Some bits were fun but this felt like a mission to get through

Excellent stuff

It kinda is that album

I forgot to rate this at the time but I’m landing on a solid midpoint for me

It’s just one of those albums you do actually have to listen to before you die

I can’t possible give it any notes

Smooth

Reminds me of summers back home

This is the album to put on after a long day at work

Turbo banger

Acc p funky

Portishead always no notes… the live from rosewood is one of my fave vinyls that I own

I want to respect it but atp I hear some songs and they’re just too overplayed for me… anyways the first song reminds me of the time I went on a pub crawl with some friends and we ended up at this arcade bar and we went down these dark stairs which led to a door that had a sign that was like “welcome to the jungle” and we went in and there was like at least 30 middle aged guys who just stared… idk what that was all about but it was a tad creepy lol

Felt like I was on the verge of a panic attack in parts icl

Meh

Eh

The Radiohead album for when you need get shit done

I enjoyed it but it was a little bland

Gorgeoussssss vocals

Very undeniably queen

I wanted to like it more

Meh

I liked this vibe!!

Something so ethereal

Oh hell yeah

Good background music

NO NOTED TURBO BANGER CONVINCED I GOT MY FIRST BIG BIG JOB FROM THIS ALBUMS SECRET POWERS DONT ASK

I felt nothing

Kinda baffled by the reviews here marking it down based purely on it’s popularity… if we were listening to albums based on popularity as the only metric, then this sure would be a boring project

I really tried

It was fine, enjoyed

Lil repetitive but fun still

Certified banger, The Killing Moon is enough for a 5 for me

It’s got that classic needledrop energy to it

V nostalgic to what my grandparents listened to growing up

Easy enough listen

Please no

Cool shit

I think I felt neutral?

Oh this was soothing

Nothing life changing but that’s fine

I enjoyed it, didn’t love it

What happened to water

I am indeed experienced

He’s so groovy

Certified dad approved banger
