1001 Albums Summary

Good background music

A good album for its era - but perhaps a bit too mellow and repetitive at times.

Bold - it hits more often than it misses

Pretty good. Sad they fell off.

Kinda boring?

Good album that is great on occasion

Yikes! Really bad

Solid vintage

A bit dated. Kids hated it!

Ah, I see why this is Radiohead’s favorite band.

Synth wave from an alternate timeline

Ugh - yikes.

All time classic. Slippery slope indie rock inductor

I mean, it’s fine I guess. A couple good songs, a couple of misses. Feels sparse and overproduced.

Sometimes revolutionary music is trapped in its era.

Scooby doo haunted house ass music

The Beatles influence here is way stronger than I remember!

Every song sounds the same

Wow！I get it

Eh! Good with a few standouts

Good now and Great for its era

I never got ABBA and I still don’t

Aged well

The audio equivalent of the smelliest guy at the party cornering you and saying “you really need to listen to Dance with the Devil by AESOP Rock, but like REALLY listen to it, hahaha” and then he flashes a weird fucking smile

Even with international flare, a jam band is still a jam band…

Fine but eh

Like Charlie Parker telling you a dirty joke.

Same song syndrome strikes again

Crying (tears of boredom) into my beer

Fine - but I’m glad Daft Punk saved House music

Love Belle and Sebastian, but only in small doses. This album is like being served your favorite meal 12 times in a row. By the 4th time, you start wondering if it’s actually your favorite. By the 12th time…

Fine! I think I would have liked it more when I was younger

*Slavoj Zizek voice* The problem with being an innovator…in anything trendy…is that your sound can often be so defining that revisiting it decades later can often make it feel like parody.

Technically impressive but kinda boring?

Absolutely overstuffed and absolutely perfect. It’s In The Aeroplane Over The Sea in a major key, it’s The Smiths if Morrissey didn’t hate himself.

Biden would have won in 2024 if BBB stood for “Bring Back Baria” This is music for people who mistake their arrogance for autism.

Eh! Maybe cool in its time.

Wow!

Wowww!

Oasis won.

Eh

Of its time.

The audio equivalent of a high school basement house party

Scooby doo ass haunted house music

We must imagine The Sex Pistols happy

You can tell they were at the end of their chain here. Chain chain chain

Really amazed I don’t listen to them more

Like a Beatles parody...?

Fine, but kinda same song syndrome

Perfect.

Not bad! Good for long runs

An album is as insignificant as any other proto-butt rock released in this decade

Big meh

Eh-angry

Perfection

When Bowie is great, he’s great. But he’s not always great.

Good stuff

They exist at the intersection of every song sounding the same, and having a sound

Interesting but not good

Fine; I guess

Eh

P good

Gaullist nonsense

P good

Absolute perfection

More misses than hits, even if the hits are very good

Technically impressive but kinda boring.

Fine but trite. I would have loved it at 13, but at 15 I was too old for it

Eh! Ok
