1001 Albums Summary

Nice, simple fun listen, but I don't see myself coming back to it very often, if at all. Pretty basic stuff, but still interesting to see where rock was at before it really came into what it's perceived as today.

This is one of those albums with enough great elements to make you wish it were a good album, but unfortunately, it isn't. There are so many glimmers of greatness sprinkled throughout it that it makes me mad that the album as a whole is so grating and repetitive

I get the appeal, but just not for me. She's an amazing singer with a great band, but I've never liked the sound of those vibrato-filled vocals, and there's not a vast amount of variety to keep it interesting, and that's kind of everything from vocal jazz to my ears. Just my opinion, though. Not trying to bash it, cause people who love this kind of stuff will be blown away, but it's just not my thing

Pretty high 2 to pretty low 3. Feel like I could get into it, but wasn't feeling it on first listen

It's ok, but it's pretty inconsiqunetial. Feels like the soundtrack to a musical that doesn't go anywhere

Frank, pass me the pork roll egg and cheese if you please

Not a pleasant experience, but in a good way.

I kinda wish there was a half-star option, but I guess I'll round up to a 4. I'm definitely glad I checked it out, but I really don't see why it's on the list. It's enjoyable, and the band is pretty idiosyncratic, but there's nothing so groundbreakingly special that makes it a "must-listen."

2 1/2, but I'll round up to 3 for giggles

Top 3, if not top 1 best album on this list, if not all time

Feels like a parody of everything late 90s. Not meant to be taken seriously. I feel like it could be a bit shorter, but the whole thing is still really fun. Kinda reminds me of Moby's album Play, but with humor

Almost a 4, but 3

It's disturbing in a Black Midi sort of way, but smooth in a Frank Sinatra sort of way. It's really interesting. Masterpiece

I liked Liege and Lief, but this is way more enjoyable in my opinion. Also love the cover

very high 4

3 1/2. Not quite a 4, not quite a 3. It kinda alternates from great song to ok song. I'll round up to a 4 cause there really are some great songs on it, and it's good to focus on the good :)

I love music that's just the artists having a bunch of fun being their kickass selves

I love The Who, amazing band. Hate almost everything about this album though. Almost every track is filler and the story is super confusing and pretentious (not in the typical charming Who way)

4.5

Probably my favorite album I've discovered from this (so far)

Why does the US insist on changing the tracklist for so many albums? The US version sounds so out of order, it's actually insane. No fault of the album itself, though. Nice music, nice tunes, I dig. Not much overly *special* though
