1001 Albums Summary

Fun. Really good. Lorelei, Wordy Rappinghood, Genius Of Love - all bangers.

Heard a million times. A banger.

Good album - comes across like a band on the run. A hit and run of great tracks, ends on a high.

Good solid old rock album. Perhaps a little old to do too much for me without the context of its time, but enjoyable.

Some seriously good tracks, obviously. Not really my bag, but good.

Just a good blues album isn't it - I mean that in a complimentary way

Yeah, it's good - experimental and ambitious, would have gone hard in 1976. Golden Years is a bop. Title track does drag a little...

Really good pop album. Obviously Rio, HLTW, The Chauffeur are all standouts.

This is a stone cold banger of an album. Very Steely Dan? Zany but also actually great.

Yeah really good - not my bag, but enjoyable and an excellent performance. Worked really well as an album as well, despite being live.

Surreal and psychedelic, pretty unique. Good album. I Wanna Destroy You and You'll Have to Go Sideways in particular are bangers.

It's no 19 or 21 (whichever the good one is - I think 21, really sad? Maybe I'm just remembering the banger tracks), but it's pretty good but far from ground breaking. Hello is an incredible track. Her voice carries the album, of course.

Jazz isn't my bag but this is brilliant. 5*.

Aggressive, fast, raw - but there is nuance at times! Excellent early hardcore.

Oxygène, Pt. 4 is that surreal music on Soccer AM. FINALLY FOUND IT. On the album though, I'm sure it's good, but it's really not my bag. Nice soundscape-y vibe and does feel a bit ahead of its time, but it's so far before my time it's hard to judge contextually. Gives off film soundtrack vibes - quite atmospheric.

They're saying it's the best jazz album of all time. I'm no jazz guy but yeah this is good - insane that it's basically all improvised with no real prep etc as well. Influential, so gets points for that, but it's also a masterpiece. 5* (bonus for the improvisational element).

Yeah just a good bluesy rock album. La Grange is good.

A good garage rock album; nothing crazy.

Just quite hard to judge it without knowing a lot about the genre! Really good and cool that there are explainers in there - it's literally to intro Western audiences to the genre and it works! Enjoyable album.

Bit of a slog this, in all honesty. Honaloochie Boogie, Violence, I'm a Cadillac, and I Wish I Was Your Mother aren't bad.

Banger

Fine - not really doing much for me.

This is some good prog. Great start to the album with School and Bloody Well Right - Dreamer and Crime of the Century are also brill. Can be a bit twee lyrically.

Know and love this album. Absolutely perfect album.

Solid! Prefer The Low End Theory but this is a really really good album.

Fantastic album, some proper 5* songs here: Around the World, Scar Tissue, Road Trippin', etc.

This is far too good to be a soundtrack, what on Earth.

Dark for funk/soul. Good album, interesting.

This is so prog. I love it.

Just fine - didn't really do much for me

Good album - ambitious, sprawling, and clearly influential

Fair play, love this album. Do It Again, Dirty Work, Only A Fool Would Say That, Reelin' In The Years - bangers.

Enjoyable. Psychedelic in a very drone-y way.

What is there to say.

Great album! Starts bopping, slows down. Some great pop on here. Pretty horny dude, this Prince.

Nothing revolutionary or exciting, but genuinely not a bad start to this album.

Solid, bangers all over the place. Bluesier than the earlier stuff.

Grim and grimy, good album.

Good album with some all-time bangers (Zero, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, 1979). Broad, ambitious. Does actually feel like two albums, so fair play. Probably is a bit long though.

Really good reggae album.

Very good! Brimming with gold.

Decent! The first side being one long song is fun. Good album

Some real moments of beauty. Very effects-heavy/atmosheric. Guy's got a weird voice (not in a bad way). Love the ambient background in Small Hours.

Great album!

Yeah pretty good, surprised I hadn't heard it before. Starts better than it ends. Quite Tycho-y.

Eccentric, experimental. Like it a lot.

Banger

Tight album - a lot going on but really tight with the arrangements. Just What I Needed a particular highlight but a really strong album.

Drunken Angel and Can't Let Go the highlights. Good album, gritty.

Not really my bag but a couple of all time bangers on it. Just fine really, probably would've blown my mind in 1966 though.

What is there to say - obviously incredible album

Yeah this is a good album! Didn't know Rod Stewart would be on it. Very Yardbird-y/Led Zep-y, obviously.

Killer album! Forgotten how good it was. Must have never listened to it with decent headphones either because I'd never noticed the bass - some good basslines knocking around.

Really good album! The obvious tunes are bangers (Running Up That Hill, Hounds Of Love, Cloudbursting, etc). I think I prefer The Dreaming as an album (just about) but I can see why this is the more popular!

Not a bad album, Freak Scene is a tune. Took a couple of listens to get onboard.

Fine, not doing a particular amount for me! Sledgehammer an obvious banger though.

Hey Two Weeks is that prime advert song. This is a very 2009 album, gives me a bit of an Alt-J vibe somehow. Other than that one song, a bit of a slog. Folk-y/alternative rock.

Their best album imo, banger.

Not really my cup of tea but pretty good country.

Great album! Brass is on it but basically every song is good.

Not my favourite Sabbath album but a banger, obviously.

Not as good an album as I remember but Time to Pretend, Electric Feel, and Kids obvious bangers.

Good album - The Cisco Kid a highlight.

Very good - archetypal stuff.

Come Out and Play followed by Self Esteem is a great one-two. Solid album. Grimier than the newer stuff, angrier.

Good fun, reasonably problematic band name...???! Nothing revolutionary, just a fun punk/glam album.

Class. Pop-y in comparison to Can't Buy a Thrill, still great.

Some stone cold bangers (Human Behaviour, Crying, Venus As A Boy, Big Time Sensuality, Come To Me). Starts off pretty cooky electro/dance-y and gets cookier.

First Platinum and multi-Platinum hip-hop record! Good album, obviously. V. '80's hip hop.

Arguably the best album from the greatest band of all time, so obviously a banger. Not sure what else there is to say. Stands up and slaps.

I think Björk may not be for me? Vocals annoying on this album.

Big grunge. Great album.

Only one of these songs is Fisherman's Blues, unfortunately. Not a bad album though.

Cracker, bit long. Always preferred I-IV but obviously a good album.

Biiiig album. Probably not quite my cup of tea but really good at what it is. New Generation and The Wild Ones particular highlights.

Heroes obviously a banger. Gets delightfully weird for the latter half, atmospheric, eerie. Good album.

Greeeat Indie album. Camp, jazzy, full of bangers and driving rhythms.

Delightful! Probably not one I'll return to all that often, but lovely surreal... chamber music?

Banger album.

It's a good album but obviously never tops Hotel California

Goood album. Not really a standout banger track but a solid album.

Very good album, some absolute classics. One of his best (his best?)

Genre-bending banger of an album

Lovely album, not quite my bag but good.

Banger album - high energy, tune after tune. Simple, catchy, and energetic.

Not a huge fan of side one until Sir Duke - pops off from there.

Excellent album. Electric jug! Mad band bio as well.

Good album - didn't write anything at the time of listening so no further notes.

Lovely album. Again, forgot to take any notes while listening.

Lovely little album

Not my bag, nice bit of whimsy in there though.

Stone cold banger. Funky, jazzy, fun.

Not really my cup of tea but not bad. Big Stone Roses-y vibes but in space.

One of the best

Good album, not their absolute best, but really good - a bit more expansive than their other stuff

Bit too weird for me.

Yeah really good album, maybe the best AC/DC album?

Actually a decent album - very safe, but not quite as advert-y as the following albums. And Yellow is 10/10.

Great album, vibrant and alive

Good album! You can hear the influence on Nirvana, big time.

Good album, particularly the first 1/3.

Maybe I'm uncultured swine, but it was just fine. Some moving moments, but overall I don't think I'm a fan. Lazarus the highlight.

Masterpiece.

Moving Mountains is a good track on its own. It's a good album, probably best listened to somewhere other than a desk though.

Good album, nice little concept with the conversations running through it.

Brilliant album, and very influential.

Really good album.

Great album. Percussive, 1999, layered, heavy, aggressive, glorious.

Good album! Harmonies are gorgeous. Some really good songs.

A bit ballad-y for me but Freedom is a stone cold banger.
