1001 Albums Summary

Classic

The faster songs are pretty great. Slow songs can be a little boring.

Great musicianship and singing, but somewhat juvenile lyrics sometimes, and sometimes uncomfortable lyrics... "Father Figure" and "One More Try" seem to have daddy issues...

Boring

Couple of good songs, but a lot of boring blues...

Really good, except for the usual filler. Don't know why I didn't listen to this as a teenager.

Some great songs, but a lot of very LONG songs

Good songs, but they sound samey after a while.

Exquisitely recorded. Some good songs. Knopfler sings very Dylan-esque.

Mostly groove based songs, but pretty catchy.

Not my style of music.

Quintessential Joni Mitchell. Not as good as Blue.

Kind of remedial raps, with over the top violent lyrics.

Pretty fun, juvenile punk music. Sounds like real punk.

Lots of good songs. vocals mixed pretty low... Good album.

Amazing album, catchy song after catchy song.

Couple of good songs, but EDM is not my favorite.

Exceptional musicianship, not really my cup of tea though.

Great songs, only rating it a 4 because I know how great the coming albums are.

Bleak and sad diary of a very troubled person. Great voice.

Pretty good album, but a lot of butt-rock too.

Pretty good, lots of cursive singing. A lot of similar beats from her first album.

Noise garbage

ZZ Top, exactly what you expect.

Great soul music. Traditional values vibe.

Some good songs, they got a little samey after a while...? But I did like a lot of it.

Totally psychedelic 60s, complete with sitars and eastern flavors. Sounds a lot like the Beatles.

Randy Newman sounds the same as he always has. Tough themes but good that he's tackling them.

The peak of butt-rock/hair metal. Not really my style but well done.

Good blues

Sooo 80s. Only Buffalo Stance was listenable.

A bit tedious and difficult.

Better than I expected, almost a modern 60s sound.

Heard it a million times.

Willie Nelson does covers. Very pleasant.

Nope, can't get in to the Boss...

Garbage. A guy and his synth, making shitty songs on the fly.

3 good songs, then a lot of filler.

Good songs, kind of long

Jazz piano, a bit of funk. Okay.

Good punk music, sounds typical of 70s punk, but with a splash of Euro-flavor. Lead singer sounds a bit like Nico.

Couple of good songs, I think greater things are coming from the Who.

Not my cup of tea. Definitely country music. But not the worst I've ever heard.

Finishes stronger than it starts. Definitely 60's psychedelia, sometimes sounds like Beatles.

The album gets stronger as it goes. Doesn't quite reach the heights of the first two albums, but very good.

Good stuff, folksy guitar work with very breathy singing. Obviously a huge influence on Belle & Sebastian.

Very beautiful acappela singing. Tough to get in to since I don't understand the lyrics.

Pretty standard electronic music... Maybe ahead of it's time, but not very exciting.

Decent, but there was no way I was listening to 4 records.

Somewhat sombre record for Taylor Swift. Songs are as catchy as usual, but the album goes too long in my opinion.

Only listened to a couple of songs. Straight blues, not that interesting to me.

More electronic music. Okay.

Lots of bangers, lyrics more mature than the last album.

Great harmonies, kind of folksy.

Good 60s pay-rock

Classic. Some really great songs.

Good themes, but gets grating after several songs.

Interesting, but start to sound samey after a while.

Not bad, but following albums are better.

Very strange. Weird vocal. Couldn't really get in to it.

Kinda funky, not bad.

Pretty good, maybe went on a bit too long.

Classic album, tough to listen to these days with so much misogyny and violence.

Sometimes interesting, but mostly about sex troubled childhood.

I’m sure it’s great… but not for me.

Didn't dig it; felt like it was trying to be "edgy".

Good background music, very synthy 70's style. Could be movie soundtrack.

Great album, but she only gets better from here!

Actually pretty good old country. All the songs are about heartbreak, but that might be typical.

Greta album, very poingnant.

Not their best work, a few good songs.

The Metallica album I’m familiar with. Some good songs, but not really my style.

Fine EDM. Maybe good for background music.

Good early heavy metal, the singer's voice turned me off though.

Songs would have been better without the 80s cheesy production.

Many Incredibles songs, a few kind of very 80s songs that are not super exciting. Overall, great.

Pretty good rock album.

Jazz is just not for me...

Okay, a bit repetitive.

Really good folksy songs.

Some good singing and guitar playing, but the songs didn’t particularly grab me.

Leonard Cohen sounding-ah alternative rock.

Only a couple of listenable songs.

Very typical country music, actually not too bad.

Fiona killing it again. Much more angular album than most of her previous work, seemed to reflect Covid, though I think most of it was written before Covid.

Some silly stuff, but I have a soft spot for ABBA.

Well done music, but not really my style.

Very 80s-sounding adult contemporary. Not bad, but didn't totally grab me.

Kinda funny album; very sexual themes. Tainted Love is a certified banger of a cover.

I liked this more than I thought. Kinda Beatles-ish, but different. The only problem is some of the songs went on too long.

Not for me…

Great talent, somewhat silly song themes.

Better than I remember, though it does go on for too long.

Cool, vibey, reminds me of Fleet Foxes but with more rocking instrumentation.

A bit forgettable…

Good album, American song book stuff, very listenable.

Good singing, but very aggressive and non-stop. I wish I spoke French to know what he's singing about...

All timer, track after track of amazing bangers. Recorded really well also.

I like this album, it surprised me because I had never even heard of Michael Kiwanuka!

Heard it so much I can’t objectively rate it…

One good song, in my estimation, the title track. But Maybe it’s not my kind of thing, nearly-prog rock.

A good album, though better things are to come from Alanis.
