1001 Albums Summary

Instrumental, didn’t really give it a chance. Be great for background music cooking or reading.

Beautiful! Songwriting is so simple but makes you stop and listen. Love his voice.

Another classic. All her songs sound like standards after two listens. Would love to see her live just her and a piano.

Could see it becoming one of my favourites of his with some instant classics Second and third song stand out immediately. Second half of the album slower burn will have to listen again. Enjoyed it a lot though. Think he has one of my favourite voices ever.

Didn't really give it a chance. Got four songs in and thought if i wanted this sort of thing I would just listen to Nirvana Could see myself giving it a go again in future.

Already a big, big fave of mine. Come back to it time and time again over the years. How they make such chaotic music with such beautiful lyrics is beyond me. Shane’s voice is unparalleled in Irish music. Only criticism is the second half isn’t as good but I also haven’t given them the time of day.

Felt like having a new Kanye album. Have never listened to him but instantly see the hype. Excited to listen again, very leisurely but infectious flow. And only 42 minutes a lot of hip hop albums are far too long this was perfect.

Moments of brilliance on it but too many songs I don’t enjoy. Sprawl is absolutely class.

Five stars for mercy mercy me alone. One of my favourite songs ever. It levels you the second it starts.

Classic. Straight classic.

For any other band it would be their best album ever but it just isn’t as good as other radiohead albums. Which is no slight given they have two contenders for top ten of all time. Far too long and ponderous but at the same time I could see myself listening again and again and finding something in the songs I now find boring. This and Pablo honey are the only two I’ve never bothered with really. Myxomatosis and there there would be on the greatest hits.

No stand out songs for me, probably one of his weaker albums but will still happily listen to it over and over. He's a genius.

Teenage classic. Still sounds so good. Some bum songs on it but the highs are high enough to carry it through. Amazing this isn’t their best album. Animal of a drummer.

Absolutely class 30 minutes. There's no reason to make an album any longer than 40 unless every song belongs there. Some songs don't live up to the best on here, but to be fair American Girl is probably one of the best songs ever. This album has made me spin off and listen to other Petty albums moreso than any other one so far.

Top top top. The sound is so haunting love all the pops and crackles and just makes it sound like a deranged man recording his very calm descent into madness. Some of his best songwriting on this album but it’s so understated you could miss it. The red against the stark imagery on the cover is so class too.
