1001 Albums Summary

Surreal experience. I hadn't listened to this album before, but I've listened to a lot of bands and artists who were clearly inspired by it

I wanna high-five the reviewer who described Dire Straits as "rizzless grateful dead" I really needed a chuckle after that supremely beige ordeal.

"When I was small And Christmas trees were tall Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo" Doo-doo indeed. I'm declaring war on Spain.

Not a Swifty, but I'd rather be a Swifty than one of her haters. Y'alls are weird.

"I'm using my feet for my human machine You won't find me living for the screen Are you lonely? All needs catered You got your brains dehydrated" 1977, folks.

Got bored, so I pulled up her Wikipedia page... The flutes are not the worst thing here 🤮

💩

Delightfully menacing. I would listen to this a thousand times over the "background music for a dinner party" picks here.

The aural equivalent of chugging a litre of beige paint. I can't even work up the energy to hate these dudes *fart noises*

WHO GAVE THIS MAN A HARMONICA

"It’s Not Going to Get Any Less Relevant, Is It?" Forty-four years after 'We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang' was released, LCD Soundsystem covered it, changing the lyrics “Reagan’s president elect – Fascist god in motion” to “The orange one is president – Fascist god in motion.” Being banned by the BBC is a badge of honour.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise this project was "1001 Neil Young albums to listen to before you embrace the sweet kiss of death" My bad.

"LAY DOWN YOUR SOUL TO THE GOD'S ROCK AND ROLL" 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I LIKE (SOME) COUNTRY MUSIC! This was the most bland, formulaic, repetitive, pap that helps me understand why people hate it. If you want to hear some good contemporary country music try Laura Cantrell, Eilen Jewell, Jason Hawk Harris, Sarah Shook or Sturgill Stimpson

Fifty years old and still sounds box fresh 🤩

The perfect soundtrack for someone who finds white bread too spicy. Two of these greige platters, but no TOOL 😭😭😭

"Nicest guy in rock" Yep, yep, we're on the worst timeline folks

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Ugh. So Neil Young really likes this band. OK. There's no escaping this man whilst listening to this damn list. He's my fourth most played artist on my Spotify Wrapped this year, and I only listen to him, and his wretched Extended Universe™, because of this bastard project. Fuck you, Robert Dimery.

PSA: Do not judge this album by it's "graphic design is my passion" cover lol

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

You make the music go back you hear Satan speaking! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmqNFETlKK8

This album has me thinking about the miracle of human life. Imagine carrying a precious lil' bebe in your belly for nine months, Nourishing and caring for them. And then they emerge from your womb sounding like Caleb fucking Followill. He then proceeds to use his nasty little vocal cords to sing about school girls in The Year of Our Lord 2004. I'm getting my tubes tied.

What a shame.

April Fool's Day is tomorrow. You're a day early with this one, Dimery.

Nawlins, bby!

The cardigan is imbued with a ✨powerful✨ magic

Most over-hyped band ever 🦖🦖

YEAH BOI! My solar plexus is in orbiiiit! 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣

INJECT THIS DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS! "Now when I was a young boy At the age of five My mother said I wa'gon' be The greatest man alive But now I'm a man Way past twenty-one I wan't you to believe me, baby I had lot's of fun" How was this man doing ⚡this⚡ in his freaking sixties?

Oof, we've got an AOR, sophisti-pop, yacht rock platter on this docket today, boys. Truly the trivium of musical Kryptonite to this listeners ears. IT'S FINE.

1,479 monthly listeners... So, a bunch of '1001 albums' listeners, and The Icarus Lines' moms? Don't get me wrong. I'm 🎯here🎯 for the ahead of their time, misunderstood geniuses, and undiscovered gems, but sometimes the path less travelled, is lees travelled for a reason.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA 🚨🚨🚨 The original release was the first ten tracks of the Spotify album. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

-1 for having a song called "The Last Broadcast" and then subjecting me to two more tracks 🤮

Oof... pouring one out for the reviewers who were linked to the two hour version. The original version is forty-eight minutes, guys. https://open.spotify.com/album/4qUKzyXuy3GSzQD5RTJLdq

Socially conscious rap for people who find white bread too spicy.

Jesus Christ, the panning is giving me seasickness. Sir, SIR, step away from the sitar!

What a treat 🥰

Oh, Boy. I used to listen to this album back in the day. In my defence... I THOUGHT IT WAS SATIRE! I assumed he was a comedian clowning on 'Muricans™. Sure, some of the jokes didn't hit, but the first half slapped. Imagine my surprise when I found out the dude was ugh """serious"""" 😅😅😅

It's 2026, I'm no longer separating the art from the artist.

Bloodless. This lady has never been on top of a mountain.

"Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite's suggestive cover art is an aerial photograph of a pair of gold open-toed high heel stilettos lying on a carpet adjacent to a descending wall with the track listing printed directly in the center. Maxwell’s headshot is only present on the back of the album sleeve, suggesting that despite his undeniably photogenic assets, his music remains the primary focus." https://albumism.com/features/tribute-celebrating-25-years-of-maxwell-urban-hang-suite Huh. Neo-soul/ quiet storm platters like these are how the C.I.A. will get me to give up my grannies. Sorry Meemaw

"I was there from the very beginning for this project. In fact, I was working on this project with Billy before I even knew we were working on a project. I knew about the approach to ELIMINATOR and songs on ELIMINATOR before two-thirds of the band did (Frank and Dusty). I was deeply involved, then I was shunned, bad-mouthed, shat upon, disavowed and treated like a dog. It really happened like this. What more can I say or do. This is truly a story about greed and betrayal. You're welcome Billy Gibbons (WTF)." - Linden Hudson: cowriter of this album https://www.reddit.com/r/musichistory/comments/891bl7/linden_hudson_cowriter_of_the_zz_top_eliminator/

There's an 😍extended version😍 https://open.spotify.com/album/07JRXyOwo8fk5mKuBwpJMa

I've bought this album twice. Still can't puzzle out why I don't like it...

“If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the Four Seasons, don't go” - Courtney Love, 2005

Is this what the kids call "landfill indie"? McLusky's "McLusky Do Dallas" was released in the same year, give that a spin instead!
