1001 Albums Summary

Great album to remind me that I respect industrial rock much more than I want to listen to it all the time. Deducted a star because fuck Manson.

Everything interesting about this album might have been destroyed by commercials and overplay. Still not half bad, but very hard to feel excited about.

Straight up vibe

Adele is talented, and I like her voice a lot. I just wish that she did anything else than the risk-free pop snoozefest this album is.

Not my fav Bowie, but it's still Bowie. Fame is 10/10 banger tho.

It's fine. It's okay. It's something I feel like I don't need to listen to again in Its whole.

Excellent album to get in October. Atmospheric and witchy.

So very 80s. If I could be your girlfriend and I could Never Take The Place of Your Man are my favs from this.

Time of The Season is a 10/10, rest of it is like solid 6/10.

This plays so much better in the context of this list than on its own. In the context of this list, it's something different and interesting. On its own, it's a parody of anger and hardcore music.

Enjoyable, many bangers, way too long.

I too will be Back At The Chicken Shack.

This felt like being stuck in an unskippable ad for 2 hours. Why is it even on this list?

Me liking a 90s alt rock album is the least surprising thing to anybody who knows me even a little bit.

I like Radiohead a lot but I don't think this album needs to be on this list.

I once found myself trapped in a conversation with a guy who wouldn’t stop raving about how Beck was the true genius of ’90s alt-rock. I nodded along and didn’t push back—mostly because I hadn’t really listened to Beck at the time. Now that I’ve actually heard this album, I’m starting to think he might’ve been completely full of it.

I'm still undecided about whether or not I like PJ Harvey.

Better than the last Beck I listen to like two days ago.

I like the Cocteau Twins, but this album amplifies some of their more annoying parts. Dreamy and atmospheric but better enjoyed in small portions.

I hadn't listened to this in a while and I was so ready to hyper critical of it but it still absolutely slaps.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this

I have a soft spot for Eminem because everyone around me used to listen to him when I was younger. Even still, this album is a brand of edgy 2000s shit that just hasn't aged well.

I have a very hard time believing that I NEED to listen to SEVEN Bob Dylan albums before I die. I don't even dislike Dylan that much, but c'mon man, pick something less obvious.

Feels incredibly dated in 2025, which probably just means it was influential as shit.

The hipster in me is still alive.

Very 70s but in a fun way

A bit too showtuney for my taste. 2.5/5

A nice vibe but nothing that stands out that much. The voice is at times annoying and nasally.

This album is an experience more than anything. More poetry than music. I've always had immense respect for Cohan as an artist, and he kept that respect until the very end. Leaving the Table is my favorite from this.

If you haven't been in the trenches of 2012 Tumblr, then you don't know what this album means to people. I saw girlies going to war for this. Not me, but some people really fuck with this.

*Waits for the artsy music nerds to leave* Is it now safe to admit that I never really got into Nick Cave?

They all sound pretty same same

I'm bored

I'm not trying to be a hater, but I just can't imagine myself putting on this album for any occasion.

I don't get it

I'm sorry, but I really don't fuck with "old man Bowie" voice.

Yes to Pixies yesterday, today, and forever.

Meh

Less weird noises mid song please

Nice album really but a bit too country to match my vibe right now

I'd enjoy this like 50% more if the lead singers voice were less annoying and whiny

No notes. 5/5

Some of it was good. Running Up That Hill is a masterpiece. I really didn't enjoy the parts that felt like pieces from a tacky 80s musical.

It sounds so painfully of its time.

It's fine, but there's enough Bowie on this list, so this one makes absolutely no sense. You can die fine without ever listening to this.

A banger opener and closer with a lot of middling-quality filler in between.

Instead of yet another Bob Dylan album, give me more of this kind of stuff, please.

Unexpected banger

Sounds about Springsteen

We're approaching criminal levels of funk😎

It sure sounds like a punk album

If you're a young alt woman and meet this album at the right time in your life, you'll never let it go. It just captures something about being an angsty young woman so well.

Decent but forgettable

I have to give it 5 stars because 1) starting your album with Immigrant Song is a 10/10 choice 2) Since I've Been Loving You is one of my fav Zep songs

Great album but also (maybe) waaaay too overhyped

To my knowledge I have never listened to this album before, but if you told me I have, I'd believe you. It's lovely but immediately forgettable.

Howdy partner, how would you like some fun 50s storytelling.

Sounds like the stuff that used to play on my grandparents' radio when I was sent to their place for summer holiday... I found it boring then, and turns out I still do now.

Welcome to another rendition of "you can definitely die without listening to this one".

I like quite a few Everything But The Girl albums, none of which are on this list because why choose music that is actually interesting, am I right?

Idk, I didn't connect with this one at all

Can't imagine getting this at any other time of the year. I'm listening to this on the 25th of December, and it's very lovely.

Fuck yeah Willie Nelson

I think my enjoyment of this album was heavily lessened by getting it right after Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson. I just like Willie-type country way more.

All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here on my list Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm

Yaaas early 00s girlboss energy pop off

I don't think this is best enjoyed as an album that one should listen to all at once. It's more a "pick and choose some" type of thing. Anyway, I respect its weird vibes and straightforward concept. Then again, I am an insufferable indie bitch.

lovely but so (maybe too) fucking earnest

Fast car is 10/10 song, rest of it is like solid 7/10.

This feels like a pleasant but unremarkable Saturday evening.

Solid album, Layla is the absolute highlight of it.

I have no idea who Ryan Adams is, and by the other reviews, I'm too scared to look it up, but there are some interesting songs here that appeal to my "sad indie soul".

Completely agree with the review that said "Hard to rate this one cuz of how old it is. At this point the songs are like a novelty which is fun to hear once in a while but I can’t really take it too seriously."

Talk about annoying vox

nuanced: hell no kicks ass: hell yeah

There's objectively too much Morrisey on this list.

Beatles- the boring years

Solid

My fav Adele but there's still something kinda basic about it.

Me not liking Janet Jackson might be one of my more controversial music opinions

Pretentious without any interesting enough ideas to justify it

Okay 90s alt rock, but it's missing the spark.

Despite everything I still really fuck with The Smiths

I'm bored

Unpleasant but not boring.

angry girl music of the alt rock persuasion

Radiohead for theatre kids

Yee-nah

Ultimately pretty boring

Unremarkable

Very much of its time

Eddie Vedder must answer for his crime of inspiring endless post-grunge bands, but I understand wanting to sound like him because this album is a banger.

It's smooth, sexy, and soothing but not boring. The kind of music that an established older woman, who you're not sure if you want to be with or be her, listens to. It feels like a glass of wine after a long day.

This has the 5th best cover of Black Coffee on it and not much else that interesting

I didn't think I would enjoy it that much. Very 80s but fucking fun

The voice is not working for me

I never was a Kate Bush girly, which I feel like makes me less likely to vibe with Tori as well. I respect her artistically way more than I want to listen to her stuff. She's def one of those ones that I like more in small portions; listening to a full album gets a bit old. Me and a Gun is hunting.

Solid

Silly good time that at times feel incredibly outdated

Left me slightly confused

This goes pretty hard

Into the flood again Same old trip it was back then

Mellow good time

Your enjoyment of this heavily depends on how much you already like Metallica.

Don't listen to with only one earphone in lol

Surprisingly interesting

I believe in the holy trinity of grunge MTV Unplugged albums. In the name of Nirvana, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam, Amen!

I'm soooooooooooooooo fucking bored

Painfully of its time. Almost feels nostalgic even tho I have never heard it before. Groove is in the heart is a banger tho

Comforting like falling asleep on a warm summer night when it's gently raining outside

Pleasant but borderline boring

I like Massive Attack but some of this album is so fucking stupid.

"How much can you take" After that first song not a lot apparently

Radiohead for suburban moms

lover with questionable intentions, pack of cigarettes and this album

Uninspired

Maybe a 4 star album, but nostalgia makes it a 5/5. Champagne Supernova alone is just so fucking special to me

Meh

"If the sun refused to shine I would still be loving you"

Exhausting in a heterosexual theatre kid way.

it's fine

I think I'm a little too not heterosexual and not a white dude to enjoy this fully.

Boring

Is this a safe place to admit that Joni Mitchell’s voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me?

This album started my music nerdom and it's still absolutely golden.

Banger

Enough bangers to justify the more questionable choices made in this album

Fitter, happier, more productive Comfortable, not drinking too much Regular exercise at the gym three days a week Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries At ease Eating well No more microwave dinners and saturated fats A patient, better driver A safer car Baby smiling in back seat Sleeping well, no bad dreams No paranoia Careful to all animals Never washing spiders down the plughole Keep in contact with old friends Enjoy a drink now and then Will frequently check credit at moral bank Hole in wall Favors for favors Fond, but not in love Charity standing orders On Sundays ring road supermarket No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants Car wash, also on Sundays No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate Nothing so childish At a better pace Slower and more calculated No chance of escape Now self-employed Concerned, but powerless An empowered and informed member of society Pragmatism, not idealism Will not cry in public Less chance of illness Tires that grip in the wet Shot of baby strapped in back seat A good memory Still cries at a good film Still kisses with saliva No longer empty and frantic Like a cat, tied to a stick That's driven into frozen winter shit The ability to laugh at weakness Calm Fitter, healthier and more productive A pig in a cage on antibiotics

Overplay on every possible classic rock station has tried to kill this album many times over, but if you ignore that, it’s actually a very solid listen

Sometimes people telling you no is good actually

I'm sorry Deep Purple I was not familiar with your game

Unremarkable

Interesting

Read about the battle instead, it's much more interesting

I refuse to rate something higher just because it's important. I like it sure, but personally it's just not my vibe.

This was a very fitting 2am listen

I've been studying for an exam the whole day and yet somehow this was still the worst part of my day.

It's 90s and I'm doing some questionable activities

Smooooooooooooth

This feels like being stuck in a conversation with a white teenage boy who's trying way too hard to impress you with his "coolness."

Every time I listen to Metallica I'm like "yep sure sounds like Metallica" but I don't get much else from it

Annoying

Cozy

Fun but fades to background

Dreamy and fun

Another Taylor Swift album would be more deserving of being on this list.

Overplayed to the point of annoyance by everyone, including teenage me, but doesn't that just prove it's a banger?

Yeees, inject me with your millennial optimism. I'm 14 again and believe that the future will be better.

"I'm in the mood for a tuna melt And I can't make you, I sure wouldn't rape you"

Very British, playful and ultimately charming.

I don't fuck with U2
