1001 Albums Summary

The Bones Of What You Believe by CHVRCHES

Loved the synthesizer instrumentation. Overall style (and vocal style in particular) wasn’t my cup of tea before but it grew on me a fair bit in this album.

Nevermind by Nirvana

A classic for a reason! Even the tracks that didn’t get radio play and I wasn’t too familiar with were blowing me away. Can’t believe I haven’t listened to it closer

Moon Safari by Air

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

Truly wasn’t expecting that. So many styles mashed together but everything fits, impeccable vocals and everything

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

The crowd added a lot of energy, but the recording definitely suffered from it. Tough mix at a lot of points. Still very enjoyable listen though

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins

Great moody vibes. Another one where I knew twice as many songs as I expected from the song titles alone

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills

Music For The Jilted Generation by The Prodigy

Some really good stuff but I did have to pause for a while halfway through because it got a little grating. Was very excited to finish it off though once I was in the mood again

The Undertones by The Undertones

Fast and tight and pretty well mixed but not my cup of tea

Hot Fuss by The Killers

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream

Oooo yes this good stuff right up my alley these days. Feels like I’m sailing through space

Reign In Blood by Slayer

Lmao I wanted to like it but I just couldn’t 😂 some very talented and innovative dudes but it was a tough listen

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone

Superunknown by Soundgarden

The Joshua Tree by U2

School's Out by Alice Cooper

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah

Found some things to enjoy but not really my cup of jam

Apple Venus Volume 1 by XTC

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle by Throbbing Gristle

Liked it a lot more than I was expecting based on the other reviews! I’m into the early electronic stuff that pops up, and some of the voice clip/ambient stuff reminds me of GY!BE which I dig. Hard to rate an experimental thing like this with other more classically structured music though

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division

This was my first listen but I’ve been aware of the album in pop culture for a long time, and I think higher expectations brought it down a bit (complete opposite of yesterday with D.O.A. where expectations were very low and I was pleasantly surprised). Still a solid enjoyable listen though

Atomizer by Big Black

The Specials by The Specials

C'est Chic by CHIC

This one hit just right. Usually the slow jams on all these funk/disco albums of this era don’t hit quite right for me but even the ballads here were hitting the spot

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta

Live Through This by Hole

Angery

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen

The Next Day by David Bowie

He still got it (had it)

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

Ooooooooooooooooo

The Notorious Byrd Brothers by The Byrds

Headquarters by The Monkees

On The Beach by Neil Young

You did it again Neil

Transformer by Lou Reed

Sometimes the inability to sing doesn’t hold you back

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers

I’ve never been a huge fan of this British punk style with the singer doing that kinda lazy drawl, but turns out the drawl wasn’t the problem. Loved the other musicianship, I think this is my favourite I’ve heard of this genre

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

Nice listen, love how they get right in and out with 12 songs packed into 31 minutes. I am a cowboy now

The World is a Ghetto by War

Big highs and lows, I thought the Cisco kid and some of the faster ones were exceptional but some of the slow ones were a real slog

Harvest by Neil Young

HOMETOWN HERO

Doolittle by Pixies

Automatic For The People by R.E.M.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis

I think I’ve given them a fair shake but just can’t get into it, his voice in particular displeases me. Also maybe hard to separate the music from how much I’m aware of their personalities

Chris by Christine and the Queens

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
