1001 Albums Summary

It’s well made and easy to listen to. It just doesn’t really pop anywhere

Really nails the songwriter advantage of singing one’s own works with this album

Good starter song. The rest is alright

The spoken word parts are good the rest is rather bad

It’s got a fun sound all around

I’m sure the lyrics are questionable but, the beats and flows are superb

More of a lo-fi sound then I had expected

To me it just kind of blends together. Not bad but not distinct

Not sure it would hit as hard the second time but this one came in crazy the first time

It’s almost overwhelmingly sweet. But it’s catchy and well made

The only way I knew a new song started is because they all started the same way

Some good songs but it really is just a compilation of singles

It’s got a fun funky sound

It’s just powerfully good through and through

I usually like this kind of sound but this one just repeats itself to much

Just dances through sounds and genres definitely a well made album

Didn’t think I could like the organ so much. Real easy to listen to as well

Great big band sound

Lovely electronic sound. Doesn’t really go for distinct tracks instead just sort of vibes the whole way through

All the subtlety of a jackhammer

Heads will roll is the real gem of the album

A very passionate group. But not my kind of sound

I’m a fan of the plunderphonics genre and while this one doesn’t go as crazy as some it’s still a very enjoyable sound

Cool sound thought it was going to be way duller

Some songs do just pop off like crazy but many do kind of end up a wash

Nice easy listen with some good hits in there

Starts a little slow but really gets going past basic synth sounds

2 because I don’t remember a thing about it

Yeah it really just keeps on trucking. Not bad but quite long

Country pop at its best

That one song is real catchy the rest is just okay

Not usually a fan of live albums or the blues but this one was really well mixed and B.B. obviously knows how to work a crowd

It’s a shame this one isn’t easier to stream it’s got quite a punchy sound for its age

Expected a 2 hour chore. Got a 2 hour work of art

Yeah it’s the doors alright

My favorite track was admittedly a cover

It’s okay just didn’t really leave a mark on me

Almost incredible how inoffensive this album sounds. Like they must have put some real work into keeping it this neutral

I had thought that an album like this coming out when it did would be a soulless attempt by an artist to stay relevant. But the truth is this album rocks with a ton of heart

It’s alright but doesn’t quite punch it up a notch anywhere

Some of the tracks are a bit long but the tracks are classics

Lots of passion in these tracks a real gem for sure

It certainly inspires the feel of a small club. Feels a bit forced sometimes though

The sound is a bit much but they do have a passion for it

Good vibe sounds not really a plot or thoughts just vibes

I had some preconceived notions of oasis going into this but they defeated my prejudice and won me over

Classics all around. Though 11 minutes for I heard it through the grapevine is excessive

Love the mixing on the album vocal forward with just the basics behind it

Good lyrics but I cannot get over the harmonica

Just not really my jam maybe like one play song on the whole thing

Just that signature Stevie Wonder groove throughout

So many songs I already kinda knew

It was surprisingly good in parts and not so surprisingly a grind in other parts. All together it’s alright I guess

Not my jam but it was a nice sounding sound regardless

Easy sound overall. I can listen to All I want to do like once a month and any more it just bugs me.

Nice punk sound but nothing particularly notable in my opinion

He really is the king

I guess the dj was their standout sound?

Just another britpop album

Loved the sound it’s rather offbeat in a great way

My father would be proud of this rating

That damn harmonica will be the death of me

Really fascinating how much processing and effects they shoved onto this album

Nice sound and good fun. The outro track is really just a joke though

If you like punk then this ought to be good

Starts out strong but like many a trip kinda collapses on itself towards the end

Heartfelt, doesn’t quite pop out though

Lyrics normally just kinda bounce off my head without landing but these were an incredible work of art

Laid out like a 2 part ordeal. The back half has the fun songs

Had enough of a beat to avoid a standard britpop 2 star

Disc 3 really just a jam track and not really my vibe but the other 2 discs are incredible

Mellow daft punk sound

An unexpected delight. I had heard a bit from this band without actually seeing the bigger picture so this was very surprising

So this is why my dad would always say “breaking the law breaking the law”

Our house is really fun but not enough to hold the album together

Nice jazzy sound. I like how it really is just kinda of one long song but yet doesn’t feel like it’s repeating itself

It was just okay. Classic Bob Marley style

Good music, but his voice gets old after like 2 songs

I can only do about one Randy Newman song at a time

It’s nostalgic sound has only increased its effectiveness over the years

Really just gets worse the longer it goes

Good tracks and a nice chill vibe with real heart

Starts with a bang the kinda tapers down as it continues

Some albums with just a couple of long tracks really seem to get bogged down. But the tracks on this one where a fun groovy mix with plenty of action in between the music

Kinda U shaped quality wise with the middle being pretty forgettable but man the ends are amazing

Some imperfect songs but when the song hits man it’s a beautiful thing

A live album that 1. Sounds good, and 2. Actually sounds live and fun

I’ll admit better mixing and better singing made this one alright

Seems like rap groups have really died out which is a shame because this one has such a nice groove

Track 2 damn near threw me out of my seat. That synth came out of nowhere. The rest of the album is also a nice listen

Great energy on this one. You can tell that Louis is an expert at working a crowd

I honestly wanted to like it more but many tracks fell flat. Might not help that the stereo mix is super wide

I dig the string and synth sound and boy this album has loads

Smooooooooth

It’s a fun concept. Not many crazy good tracks but it’s fun

It’s not quite my sound but there is good talent on display here. Having a debut album this good is many an artists dream

It’s got like 1 maybe 2 tracks but I just can’t say that I liked it

It’s got such a nice 80’s sound to it

Didn’t understand a word but this album has tons of vibes and the message comes across clear

It’s not bad but to me it felt more to the realm of classical music which while I enjoy doesn’t really seem to be the vibe of the list as a whole

Such a delightful listen. Has a nice sad sound

Maybe it was the back to back Radiohead tracks but this one just didn’t pop

I did like how the songs really jumped around style wise

Beautiful personal sound the production is quite excellent on it

Dang didn’t know this albums game. I think the only thing it’s missing is a real chart topper. That being said it’s fantastic in every other way

As far as live albums go this one’s a keeper

This is that peak prince sound with lots of instrumentation and perfect clarity

Just kick back and let it wash over you

Couldn’t remember a thing about it. But it didn’t offend me or anything

It’s got some good songs some okay songs and some long songs

It’s groovy more jazzy in sound after the first song

This one rocks Jack white knows how to make an album

It’s like getting lost in fantasy land

It’s just like an 80’s album that’s off tune the whole time

It’s very smooth. So smooth there’s not much grip or flavor. But so smooth

Bowie was ahead of time with this one I feel like

Layla is a certified hit. The rest just kinda drifts off into meh

I thought it was going to be generic hippy music. But instead it’s loving folk and hippy music

Short, sweet, and beautiful. What more could you want

It’s a smooth sound. Almost too smooth

Really pushing it with the run time

It was a bit distracted today so I didn’t quite notice this one. Seems good and rather short as well

It’s like listening to a whole block of WIMZ Knoxville’s classic rock. In that it’s all kind of the same but not terrible

Very 80’s about all I got to say

Good beats the lyrics are so so. The French version makes them sound cool and foreign though

I like the lead singer rest is alright

Some good beats hiding here

Really nice gloomy sound

Good beats on here. Lyrics were alright as well

Looking back this really does have 2010’s vibes. Great album

The one or two really good tracks help bring this up to par. Otherwise it’s not really there

It either gave me a headache or made it worse. I respect the artistry but it’s not my jam

It was quick. Not crazy good sadly

It’s got that nice bouncy 90’s hip hop sound down. Kinda locks it in time vibe wise but it’s fun

Really nice tracks. I thought iron man was a bit weak though

When you look at it in 2 pieces they both are really quite good albums. Treating them as a single album bigs them down a bit with the sheer length

Really good jam session. Loved the ending track really sticks the landing

Nice gloomy sound. Shame it’s not easier to stream

It does occasionally dissolve into pure jazz madness but it’s also surprisingly comprehensible

It’s not my sound. But if it is your sound it does seem like it came out ahead of its time for its sound

Some real iconic tracks on here

Doesn’t quite pop out sound wise. But each track does have a unique vibe

Regardless of certain musicians personal views I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Part of it was probably the fact that it’s just a well tuned band playing other artists greatest hits

One of the immortal cds my dad had in his car when I was growing up. Never to be questioned as anything other than masterpieces

It just blends in with the wall

Very groovy kinda chills out after the first track

Felt more subtle than other Black Sabbath works

Lively sound to it. Reading the backstory and subsequent violence is quite the trip

Quite rich sound wise he definitely had the nice tools

Tina’s got a great voice but this one is just completely buried in 80’s overproduction

While it doesn’t feature chart topping singles like some other Pink Floyd albums. It’s got the long form tracks you just can’t deny

Good beats and funky sound

Didn’t really leave an impact on me. But was alright to work to so 3 stars

A lot better then what the album cover looks like

The killing moon really does pop off the album in a wonderful way. The other tracks aren’t half bad either

Some good classics in here

Keeps the beat and keeps it short and sweet

Relaxed techno vibes doesn’t always land but it’s not half bad

It’s a smooth jam. Not much else to say though

His voice just cannot be real

Amazing, her voice probably wouldn’t work with everything but she knows how to nail it with her music

I do love a good Depeche Mode

It’s alright nothing in particular

It was like discovering dynamite

Couldn’t tell you a thing about it just pure wall noise

Loved the sound, it’s really weird listening to it as it’s certainly queen but you don’t know the songs

It’s got some good beats kinda repeats itself but it’s not bad

It’s alright nothing much else to say

If you like the Congo sound then this is for you

Good lyrics smooth sounds not a bad package overall

It’s icon selection of rock songs probably won’t be beat

An undeniable force of music creation. Would be 5 but it’s more of a personal preference as otherwise I see the greatness of this work

While jazz seems to typically favor the long form play this one has a bunch of “singles” leading to a wonderful sampler of various jazz elements

A good showing of some proper garage sound

Still rocking that 80’s sound

Got very jazzy at the end but I liked it

100% pure unstoppable dad rock

It’s like a giant installation in an art museum ever present but also in the background. It adds to the experience without being the center of it

I like the lead vocalist but the whole affair was just so so

It’s more of a collection of singles but they still provide good examples of country musics state in the 50’s

Very funky

My personal preference is not this sound but beyond that it’s a masterclass of an album

To long and to similar sound wise. But credit where it’s due the album is mixed fantastically

It didn’t really make a even a slight dent on my mind

Hard to track down. Kinda changes vibes throughout

They do seem quite mad

It’s got some solid tracks. Doesn’t necessarily flow as a whole album but rolling stone is undeniably a hit

It’s alright as a background beat. Not much else

I’m surprised by how smooth the whole affair is compared to other metal albums to come down the road this one plays great

Despite the album branding the album is quite relaxed in its sound

Kinda devolves into spoken word at the end but good stuff regardless

Good bass the vocal work is rough

Good flow throughout

It’s alright nothing special

Very iconic first track but the second one was my personal favorite

You really can’t go wrong with a first track like that

Nothing against Frank it just wasn’t a vibe

Such a fun sound and frankly that’s all it takes

The intro sets such a good mood for this album. It’s like having a personal little country set in your living room

Here comes your man is a fun track the rest don’t really match its tone though

Such joy hit me when I saw this album pop up on my list. It’s just an all time classic with such a warm inviting sound

I listened to the 1 hour 6 minute long version labeled as the original. While this still seems a bit longer than the original I think it’s a lot closer to the version meant to be listened to. It’s a dynamic fun album that seems to do a fantastic job at capturing the energy of a live show (its actual liveness is debated)

No offense to the guys but this just wasn’t anything of note

A unique sound with a blend of all manner of styles. Quite good

The first song is just flat out amazing. The rest while still quite good does feel like the Beatles but off balance

She’s a great singer and the album is smooth and jazzy. Not my flavor but I respect it

I think the lyrics are probably doing the heavy lifting here. But alas I’m not much of a lyrics guy

It’s an honest piece of work but it doesn’t quite work either

I actually quite dug the quiet simplistic sound

Very bluesy it’s alright but not really full of the hits

It’s alright the length with that kind of sound can start to be a bit of a grind

It’s got the classic talking heads groove but I just couldn’t get into it like some of the others

I’m just not a hardcore blues kinda guy

Just felt like one song was going the whole time and I’m not feeling it

It’s got all manner of different sounds. Jack White knows how to throw an album together

Phenomenal, it seems like I can drop the needle anywhere in this album and it just takes me with it

It’s got a jazzy vibe where the album feels like one giant song that changes mood sometimes. It’s probably not the best for intense listening but it’s good in the background

This is the type of sound that I usually like and while this one is still solid it doesn’t quite lend itself to being anything more than just good

Some amazing songs on this one. The overall project does feel less like an album and more of an assortment of songs. However I could see myself potentially doing 5 stars on a re-listen

Kind of an odd lo-fi experimental sound. Feels quite different than the future albums. That said it’s got groove and I was back in it

While it didn’t hit me as good as some of the others I could feel more heart in this one

Some LSD would certainly make for the quite the experience on this one. Take a song and just keep playing it for half an hour. Still not terrible just probably meh sober

Quickly falls into whiny hippy music (I like the cause but no the music)

Yeah it’s just kinda ended up being a forgotten listen. The album cover looks very modern for the sound inside

Fantastic britpop sound! Jumps around from feeling old school to new school

The kind of funky beats I look to the talking heads for

What a unique assortment of sounds. I could honestly see going for 5 on a re-listen

I guess it didn’t actively offend but otherwise made zero impression on me

It’s got some good country like tracks. Sadly it can’t hold the picture together for a double album

It really does kinda rock. Can be a bit much but largely pulls it off

I really like the instrumental side of this. But every time lyrics became involved it kinda fell apart

I guess I went into this with some preconceived notions of Iron Maiden’s sound. What I discovered was a charming musically talented album. While it won’t necessarily go on the top of any of my lists it’s probably up there for most surprising

Short sweet and punchy it’s fun

Some pretty good stuff in here. But by the end it’s just out of steam hitting repeats

It sounds like a Radiohead album with a gloomy sound. And I cannot get enough it’s irresistible to me

I quite like the orchestra inclusion. But the whole effect is lost on it being a live album. It leads the whole thing to feel like some kind of Hollywood project for a movie trailer. Must’ve been great in person though

Funky off beat sound on this one. It’s not quite my jam but it’s certainly unique

It’s got the standard Arcade Fire sound. Maybe if I hit some tracks up individually they might stand out but the whole affair just kind of blends together

It’s an interesting rock opera, good but not necessarily memorable songs besides pinball wizard of course

It’s sort of a mashup of singles combined with some more original creative works. They’re definitely beginning down a path to something amazing. Also nice tight runtime

Surprisingly good songs sprinkled in here. But the 80’s overproduction strikes again bringing the rest down

Very surprised I had heard a song off of this but the whole thing is such an offbeat funky affair. Felt like lots of love was spent on this. Probably could talk myself into a 5

Superb piece of work glam rock at its best. Might not be as complex as some would like it. But it’s proof that you don’t need complexity for a great album

It’s a fun piece. Definitely felt front loaded as some of the later tracks start falling off a bit. I feel like I’m getting pickier about double albums

It’s psychedelic enough but it’s not particularly memorable
