1001 Albums Summary

Not my kind of music, mastering was a bit dry.

Recordings were fine, music was nonsensical and not enjoyable.

Slower pop songs, very popular album. No complaints, mastering was good but not mind blowing.

Good mastering, not a fan of songs being sampled from others. Also not my favorite genre.

Music can be repetitive. Good beat and melody, voice is great. Not really my favorite type of music though, doesn't resonate with me.

Mastered like crap. Anything higher than 3kHz sounds muted and dull, the bass guitar sounds like its being played from the next room over. The music is a weird mix of country and hard rock, not a horrible mix but the songs themselves are really bad

I wish this album was mastered better. Fun electric guitar and the beat was fun. Bat Out of Hell, Paradise By the Dashboard Light, and Fpr Crying Out Loud were a bit longer than what I like though, after 4-5 minutes it was just too much. Also why the moaning in PBDL? Was that really necessary?

Good album, no song was offensive to me. Mastering was OK. Enjoyable album, some songs I already knew.

Really enjoyable album, to my surprise! Powerful message as well. Well mastered, bassy & warm sound. Very deserving of 4.5/5.

Suprisingly funky. The album in its entirety is 'ok' but a few songs stood out. The mastering was interesting, not crazy detailed but there was solid imaging and spaciousness.

It's weird to say the least. I feel like it has a good story throughout the album but I'm not honestly sure the message. Very much folk music, it isn't mastered badly but not good enough to redeem itself completely. Behind the voices isn't too much instrumental, it's more-so a method of enhancing the story being told. Not my kind of music.

Awful mastering, no low end or high end. I like a decent amount of rock but not this. Singers voice annoys me. Lyrics didn't feel especially exciting and overall I felt like the music elicited no emotion from me.

It sounds like a very classic halloween character decided to make a music album. Its… weird but not horrible? Mastering is shoddy, depends on the song. Sometimes it's decent, sometimes the vocals are masked by whatever the drums are doing. Some songs sound kinda like blues while others I can't even describe.

I feel like I'm in a 1950s movie set as they are doing an overhead shot of the MC's location and are about to talk to someone important at a party. Mastering isn't anything special but honestly the music is pretty fun. Not good enough that I'd listen to it any other time but it's perfectly enjoyable.

Very slow acoustic country. It isn't bad, just too slow to want to listen to it in the future. Bill has a great voice but it wasn't really used for anything interesting, it's not emotionless though. Mastering is really good, in Eid Ma Clack Shaw you can feel the air pressure due to the rumbling of the bass drum on the right side.

Good, not my favorite rock music. Mastering was good but nothing jumped out at me.

Songs vary wildly in quality. Some are mastered well and have a good melody, some very much do not. Instrument choices are sometimes odd and can ruin a song.

Great album. Mastered really well for what it is and most songs were really good. I didn't have any particular song that I disliked. The variety in tempo was very refreshing after getting a few albums that stuck to one kind of tune.

Mastering is good but the music itself is exactly as you'd expect from the genre. Not great, but it also isn't meant for me.

Good mastering for the 70's, singer also has a great voice. Music itself didn't really resonate with me though, and while I could listen through the album there was nothing that I really would want to listen to again.

Surprisingly good, I had a preconcieved notion that this album was a hard rock album, when it really isn't. A lot softer than I expected, and good tactility to the mastering. I wish the songs weren't so long though…

Very much an album from 2001. Vocals are pushed back and the rest of the mastering wasn't anything special

Just bad. From the mastering to the music itself. Couldn't get myself to enjoy the melody and the music sounded flat. Not my thing.

The kind of music and the vocalists voice don't match. It's hard to describe but its like expecting rock music and then getting a that nasally friend who can't sing despite putting in so much effort. The mastering is exactly what you'd expect for rock/country music.

Mastering is pretty bad. Instruments bleed into each other and the bass is overdone in post editing. It sounds like everything has a low pass filter. Music itself was dull, made worse by the already bad mastering.

Great album. Not super into folk music but the mix of modern instruments and enjoyable melody made it an easy listen (for the most part). My only gripe is that, as seemingly a quality of folk music, songs didn't really have a melody that kept constant, so while I may like the first half of a song, the second half doesn't usually match that.

Neither here nor there

I liked the guitars, mastering isn't the worst I've heard, however the songs themselves just aren't that interesting. The vocalist sounds like they are being strangled.

This album makes me wanna shred a skateboard off a cliff

Its funky and enjoyable. Sure it isn't the best thing I've heard but I could listen and vibe to it easily. Mastering was good too.

I love the slower songs by TSP, Tonight Tonight, 1979, In The Arms Of Sleep. Then, in the same album, they also have songs that sound like a teenagers rebellious phase.

Mastering is good but the music is monotonous. Each song kinda sounded the same except for a select 1 or 2.

I see why people love him but I can't really enjoy most of the songs on this album. Mastering is good but songs either took too long to get to an interesting part or just never got interesting to me. Exceptions, of course, include Higher Ground, and thats it.

Her voice is fantastic and the songs generally are interesting and unique. However, I didn't really find them impressive enough to want to listen to them in the future.

Nostalgia wins every time. Thanks dad, your skewing the results. Live music usually isn't my thing but these recordings are great! Everything is crystal clear.

Free Bird is definitely a song of all time. To be honest, this album suffers from songs that are just too long. They get boring after a while.

These songs trick you. They are sometimes acoustic while othertimes they are just awful barely melodic rock. The slower songs of this album are leagues ahead of the rock songs.

It's as if I have been placed into the world of the princess and the frog. Not great. Songs are really slow.

Fun album, very much indie rock. Its enjoyable, although mastering isn't a standout. Reminds me a bit of The Killers in some songs. The seamless transition between songs was incredibly satisfying

Its not great. The mastering is dull and vocals always seem to take to the background. Makes words hard to understand while the lackluster guitar and drums take the center stage. The songs themselves aren't that interesting or fun either.

Run Charlie Run was a shock as I was tuned out when it started. Overall the album is fine, mastering is good but the music isn't for me. It's a bit dull and its message doesn't resonate.

It's ok as background music but it isn't good enough for me to want to ever revisit it. It's the kind of music you'd hear when a character is walking through a city during the opening scene of a B list romcom. Mastering is good though.

inoffensive

It's refreshing to have a modern album after a while of poorly mastered rock music. It's a relatively calming album, well mastered and very interesting. Each song has it's own story, and listening puts you into that "world". For my tastes, however, it falls a bit short in the music part. I like it, but I don't like it enough to want to listen to any of the songs again or put them on a playlist.

My ears! They bleed! Seriously, what is with the super harsh noise on every song?? It's obnoxious.

It’s a solid album, although Wish You Were Here is by far the best song on it.

It jumps between being really raunchy and very aggressive. It's very jarring but it definitely puts in perspective eminems emotional state at the time. "Kim" especially is honestly horrific to listen to, very good, but I hope I never have to listen to it again.

Honestly I expected more from this album. The Beatles are very good, I won't say they aren't, but most of the album was completely average. Listenable, but very much background music to me.

I heard somewhere that your taste in music reflects whats going on in your head, and I can confidently say now that my brain does not function like a 6 year old playing with a synthesizer

It's not as bad as I was expecting. It isn't great, but its listenable.

It's Elton John. It's a solid album. However, I do not think its really exceptional compared to his other work. None of the songs really hit the spot.

It sounds like the few band students you knew in high school got together to make an official band but they lost their lead singer and the guitarist became the vocalist. At least it has tits on the album cover, it gets +.001 stars for that.

Enjoyable to listen to, not anything I'd revisit though.

Mellow, calming to listen to. Some very popular songs on this album that I knew but had completely forgotten about.

It's fine. It’s a Beatles album, although it's a bit slower than their more popular songs.

Not good. Not my genre though.

It's like putting on noise. The guitars are harsh and the vocals don't make up for it. Not my genre.

Feels like im watching a teenagers coming of age movie and the older sister is blaring music while going through her emo phase.

My brain hurts a lot. Just kididng. It’s a fine album, although I don't think it's anything noteworthy as a whole. Starman and Sufragette City are both great though.

I agree, NY is known for a lot of things. But I guess that doesn't include electronic music.

Sweet, mellow, but also pretty fun at times too. It can go from relaxing to feeling like your in an old town bar drinking with cowboys. I probably enjoyed this album more than I had any right to.

It's interesting, but that’s about it. Songs are repetative and the beat drops aren’t all that amusing. Felt that they were always going on longer than they should.

Very generic. It's exactly what you'd expect from british indie rock and barely does anything unique. Mastering isn't that great and the vocalist drones.

For metal it isn't that bad. Mastered pretty well and the rhythm is enjoyable. Vocals aren't muddied or harsh, which makes it actually listenable. Kudos to Judas Priest.

The complete album is incredibly long and I got pretty bored after a few songs. It isn't horrible but it's not my thing.

Meh. It's ok. Nothing bad stands out but at the same time it's also nothing that special.

★★★

Meh.

Other than the most popular song by far, the album itself is lackluster and pretty boring. I couldn't latch onto any main melodies for a lot of the songs. Sometimes (often) it sounds like someone smashed their head on a keyboard.

A bit too explicit for me and it takes me out of the music.

I have mixed feelings about this album. On one hand, It's Fleetwood Mac. On the other, some songs themselves lack a quality that would make me look forward to listening to them. It's a 75% chance the song isn’t memorable and a 25% chance it's phenomenal.

It's like I'm in an old sci-fi film or KSP. As background music its fine but it isn't anything I'd revisit

Mastered horribly. It sounds like a teenagers garage band, fit with absolutely zero melody and zero singing skills.

It's produced well for metal, but my untrained ears make every song sound incredibly alike. That works when you like the music but it makes it super uninteresting and aggressive if you don’t.

Hands, Anyway, Killer Queen is a fun song and the rest of the album has a general boogy vibe to it, but they don't leave me with any solid impression. Most of the songs are forgettable.

A fun album that sounds unique while not sounding harsh or completely alien. Really liked this one.

This is background music to me. Nothing about it really stands out as exceptional but it isn't horrible either.

It is a jarring album that I can't decide whether to hate or like. On one hand, it sounds like a bunch of horror movie props banging together, but on the other hand it's pretty well done and gives an eerie feeling.

It is a jarring album that I can't decide whether to hate or like. On one hand, it sounds like a bunch of horror movie props banging together, but on the other hand it's pretty well done and gives an eerie feeling.

Its definitely above average but the music itself gets a bit boring quickly. The mastering is impeccable though.

Its 50's Elvis, I can’t really say anything else. Sometimes a bit slow, sometimes upbeat, in general it’s a decent listen.

I just cant enjoy it. I like rock but this isn’t it. The lyrics suck and feel empty while the rest of the song has no clear rhythm.

Yep it’s a classic christmas album. No complaints on christmas!

Its alright, mellow. The guitar tends to be a bit repetative though.

I think it’s a good album, although I don't think that any song was a standout. Powerful messages are always enjoyable to listen to.

The album has some songs that are good and some that make me question what the point of the song was.

The start of the album was better than the rest. I started to lose interest around the 4th song, and this album is loooooooooong.

This is bad. Don't like the singers voice and the guitars sound like grating metal.

Kinda a nothing album for me. I've listened to some Radiohead before and this album was very dull in comparison.

It's not garbage but it's not great either.

It's hip hop, not really my thing but I understand its appeal.

It's fine, I don't think its that bad but it also doesn’t do much noteworthy. Mastering is fine, the music is fine.

Not my thing. It's like they tried to make a grunge album but missed the point. Yeah, it's impressive that its basically only vocals replicating instruments and whatever, but it doesn't sound good.

Talk about an incredibly well mastered album. The spaciousness between the instruments and the tactility of the guitars and drums is incredible. I wish I wasn't so dang white and could understand the lyrics.

Solid album, only song I questioned was Earlybird as it hurt my ears. Other than Take It Easy the album was average, far from bad.

It's really weird. Just odd. Some songs are listenable and some feel like a bad acid trip.

It's a boring listen. The band doesn't have any qualities that makes me want to listen to the next song, let alone the entire album.

Not exactly to my taste but its enjoyable nonetheless. Mastered very well for a 1968 album.

The album tends to stick to one type of sound and not move away from it. You could select any two songs on the album and they’d sound almost exactly alike.

I wish I could like radiohead but this is the second album I just don't really care for.

Too much energy, nothing I can cling to and enjoy. It's like they mashed instrument together and thought they could hide their mishaps with more noise.

Not a fan of live albums but the music isn't as bad as I thought it'd be for what wikipedia calls "Hard Rock"

It's bordering the line between music and a comedy show, I can give it no more than a 3. It's a good listen but I think its better as a story rather than an album.

It's above average for an album from this time but I don’t think its anything crazy special. Enjoyable as background music? Yes. Really that good if you spend time analyzing it? No.

Incredibly sappy.

I just don't really understand post punk. So far the albums I've listened to are soulless and bland, like this one.

Solid, similar music "feel" to The Suburbs, but I don't think this album has a vibe that quite matches what I tend to like out of indie rock.

Not really any complaints, I didn't hate it but I didn't find any standout songs on the album.

Songs are too long.

mastered well and the guitar skills are satisfying. Not every song is a hit but there were definitely a couple where I was bobbing my head along.

It's weird. The lyrics are sometimes like Fleetwood Mac but the music is more like… some kiddy band my parents used to put on in the car. Not my thing.

Not good enough for me to comment on it but also not unlistenable

Some were great, some were OK, some were awful. Overall I thought it was decent and an enjoyable listen.

It sounds so horrible yet its mastered so well. I don't like the lyrics or the instruments used, its like putting a cheese grater up to my ears.

Sounds much more folk like than rock.

It's not bad but it isn't fantastic either. It gets a bit boring after a while.

It's solid. Mastered well (at least the 2019 remaster).

A fun listen. A bit funky and definitely is unique compared to some of the albums I've had on this site.

Boring. Not much else to say.

I Enjoyed it

It got worse as time went on

Another nothing album

This feels like an elaborate joke, its not good.

A fantastic album. Unique and enjoyable, even though the biggest Queen hits are not in this album, I did not feel the quality was any less.

imagine you are listening to an entire album where each song is about a guy ranting about how insane he is because he is interested in someone. It's fine, the music itself is a bit boring but at least its mastered well.

Not bad background music

ok its BAD. A mix between a cat walking on a piano and a musician that doesn't know his own skill. So much potential and yet it's a complete mess.

Mastered well, nice listen.

It's kinda bland

The guitar work is great but I can't stand thrash metal.

The title song was decent, the rest was meh.

A completely blah album. The mix of slow country and rock does not work well for them, also singing about moving to a city gets boring to listen to after a while.

If you don't listen to the lyrics it's fine. If you do, it's mind numbing. It's like a 6th grader wrote it.

It was fine at first, then got boring. Mainly the percussion, It felt erratic.

Good vibes but it’s missing something that is needed for me to want to return to the album…

The drum beat carries most of the music, its a bit dull if your expecting a seamless melody

50% are fun listens and then the other 50% makes me wonder what kind of drugs he was on.

Good background music.

N/A, couldn't find the album

His voice is very generic british 80s pop, however the synth does sound great. Elegia is really a cool song.

Hey, that’s iconic! Mastered very well.

Fun, energetic album. The worst songs were still enjoyable to me and the best ones made me actually focus on the music.

Started off decent and devolved as time went on. It's generic 60s.

Its ok.

Better than the previous metallica album I listened to.

It's not offensive but it's also sounds like they recorded it within a wooden barrel. Not good.

Enjoyable listen

Overall, I just don’t like it. I have not listened to a good Radiohead album yet.

Its solid

It's crazy how good "Our House" is compared to the rest of the album. It carries. Hard.

Solid for one of the worst album covers I've seen in a while.

Not great, Not terrible

Fun album.

The music itself isn't bad but the way Dylan sings annoys me. It's like hes adjusting his volume based on a sine wave, and every sentence trails off into the void.

not bad & I’ve definitely heard a few songs on this album before

Talk about generic 80s british rock.

Nothing interesting here.

Its ok.

It's nice to hear an album that uses subbass after such a long time of pre '85 albums. Anyway, it's ok, Yellow is the only standout.

It's background noise to me

Its done well but just isn't my favorite music.

This is actually a really good album. I was pleasantly surprised!

Not bad

Songs are too long. Got bored.

Liked their other album more.

The songs in this album don't really tie into each other in tone. Some are very alt rock, but some are country-ish or meloncholy. Very hit or miss.

Not a really Taylor fan but I cannot deny that this album has a ton of hits.

Some songs are iconic and great, but generally I don't vibe with a lot of what is on the album.

Yep feels like the 50s

I do not like it

Not my thing.

It's solid, nice vibes.

I can't enjoy it. It's like noise to me and her voice is aggravating.

It's fine, iI honestly expected more from Led Zepplin here

She has a great voice but I didn't latch onto the music itself.

Some very popular songs on this album, and I would say that there were 3 that I liked. The rest were meh.

They definitely are a one trick pony here, although its not the worst thing I've heard

Just like the last The Cure album I listened to, it's just boring. Not bad, boring.

Solid album, mastered very well.

It is mastered very, VERY well. Honestly it was incredibly surprising to me, and although I'm not a big hip hop fan it made it into an enjoyable listen.

The go-to testing album. It's solid, but not the best.

OK. So… I get that this is a beloved album and all that, and supposedly one of the best albums you can listen to. I listened to it start to finish because of that, in one sitting. HOWEVER… I don't really understand the obsession with it. Like yeah, it is mastered well and the story is neat, but it's kinda unmemorable? Other than Time and the popular opening melody in Brain Damage, I didn't latch onto anything specific here like I did in Wish You Were here. Overall, I can only give it a 3.5/5, it's not bad but I expected way more from the album everyone seems to love.

It just isn't my thing. The guitar work is great though.

Yeah BR is a fantastic song but this entire album is great. Like really great. You're My Best Friend, '39, Seaside Rendezvous, and Good Company are incredibly fun to listen to. Even the songs I don't care for are fun and unique. I give this a solid 4.5/5, only reason it's less than a 5 is because I won't be returning to this as an album as much as I do on a per-song basis.

Bowie always starts off his songs very weird and then is slowly morphs into something that’s actually entertaining to listen to.

I didn't mind it at first but eventually it started to become noise.

I'll start by saying I love the mix of strings and electronic instruments. However, the lead singers style is not my thing and the constant fade and slow pace makes it an annoying listen.

Every song is a hit except for "Oh Daddy". As much as I try to like that one… I can't. It’s a fantastic album that is sung and mastered almost perfectly. Every time I revisit it, it's great.

It's solid, not my favorite from Yes.

I gotta give them credit, it was much better than I expected.

I felt very uncomfortable listening to this, but maybe that’s the point.

Not my thing.

Not my thing.

Absolutely iconic yet I had no idea that was the name.

The album itself tends to be just OK musically imo, although it is mastered well and the singer has a good voice.

It is pretty dull

An excellent album I'd say. They really do have many good songs.

One aof the few live albums that I don't mind, Sam Cooke has a great voice

meh. Meh. Meh. Oh? I RECOGNIZE THIS? Meh. Meh. Meh.

This Is the Day is the best song on there by far, its kinda meh otherwise.

A 2 hour album where the singer cant sing

It's fine… no outstanding qualities

Compared to the last Beatles album I listened to, this is much better. However, it still feels like something is missing, maybe in the mastering (as would make sense for a '67 album) or just the seamlessness in general. Overall, enjoyable listen, 4/5.
