1001 Albums Summary

Has it aged well compared to similar bands? I'm not sure, it's just the start of my musical journey!

Still unsure if this one aged well. It was a great narrative though, from start to finish.

What can you say about such a classic album that's not already been said. Really enjoyed taking the time to listen to this in one sitting.

Nice to go back to where it all began!

Not as good as I remembered it to be.

Ahhhhhhaaaaa

Still one of my favourite albums of all times. One of the world's most underrated female drummers and so sad we lost her so soon.

Saw PJ this year and she's just as good live as she was back then

I do hazily remember Leftfield as the music to come down with (with a touch of Primal Scream in the mix of course). It's still a worthy album with nots of interesting sounds and layers - I've enjoyed the Thursday afternoon time travel to the early 1990s !

Not sure this one aged well at all!

Loved having this as my Sunday AM soundtrack !

Has not changed my pre-existing opinion that this album sucks.

It's been a while!

Absolutely a classic

Xtina has a few decent moments on this one but there's some doozys.

I did enjoy this, not every track but what it represents. Slim Shady captures a specific time when young white disenfranchised men plus an epidemic of heroin brought the trailer park reality of America to the world stage. I think it's a really important album.

Ah sweet Frank always a pleasure ❤️

This album is the reason I joined 1001, to extend my listening to albums I steered clear of due to assumptions I'd hate it! I actually really liked a lot of these tracks. Old mates a Trump supporter so I'm not going to pay to see him but enjoyed the listen.

What an amazing story behind this album ❤️ Bowie was the best, the most talented the cleverest and funniest. Faced death with strength and determination and gave us this beautiful gift.

God, that was dreary.

Looking forward to this one!

The boys from Downpatrick - what a lovely place - oh yeah !

I get so sad and upset when I listen to an album of such brilliance, with a talented writer, multi-instrumentalist and someone so pained that they stabbed themselves to death. Rest in peace ES. I'm so sorry everything was so shitty for you here x

Well, this is unexpected ! Can't wait :-) ... Hmm ok. The ole vibrometer wasn't as fun as expected !

What can I add that hasn't already been said. This inspired so many great bands, obviously a classic.

Never heard of this band - but was excited to see they are an offshoot of the Buzzcocks. That first riff hooked me - it's rad !!! As it went on it was ok ... not earth shattering but pleasantly different

It's a 3 for novelty value. Not something I'd choose to play on the regular!

I love you Nick 💗💗💗

Great live band, love the aesthetic - LOVE A FEMALE DRUMMER Can't get Ring my Doorbell out of my head now !!!

Hmmmm. Wonder how many babies were conceived with that track and a large spliff!

I already know exactly what this scores. One of my all time favourite albums of the last 40 years. Magic.

Never listened to a whole FZ album, but it's kinda cool.

Oh fu€k yeaaaaah

Is it the era or is there something else intrinsically annoying about BD and specifically this album ?

This is just the kind of artist I hoped to find on this quest! Just loved it.

Not bad for stoner rock!

Never heard of this one. Interesting!

Wowsers !!! I get to listen to the whole album - hurrah !!

This album feels like yesterday when I ate too much rocky road now I feel ill!!!

Beatles yesterday, Wings today?! Unfortunately listening to them side by side, Wings just doesn't rate and "Jets" is just irritating !!

How did I not hear this before - it's SUPERB !!

Mr Drake gets better each time I listen to his exquisite music.

I used to love Bruce in the 80s but I don't think this aged well (a la Billy Joel)

Monday morning - Nick Drake !!! What are you doing to me. Just the most delicate, beautiful album. Wish Nick stayed with us longer.

This brings back memories xx

Sublime !

Was actually quite fun, despite not being a blues fan :-)

I had forgotten how great this album is and how young MB was when he died

This album is always going to tied to a very important memory so it's got to be a 5.

Yeah, it's ok ...

Cannot give Nick anything less than a 5 but considering who he's up against I'm revising this to a 4

Some great memories from the scots lads

Deplorable

Love this

I've always loved this album but has it dated badly???

I enjoyed that blast from my past. Oh Billy Corgan ❤️

Some great moments

This is what I was after !!! A great discovery - sadly disbanded but awesome.

yeah ...

These guys are amazing. Plus still together!!

That was a really interesting album. Almost like a soundtrack?

Yeah, it's ok

Will listen again - highly enjoyable

One of the best.

Forgot how good this album is - can see the influence on say Beyonce with the intro to Cowboy Carter.

Very easy listening. I should look into this artist more

I'm all for some y'alla habibi but this gets quite repetitive at times.

The Passenger deserves 5 stars just for that one song. Everything was made for you and me ❤️

Not sure what I remembered this band to sound like ...

Still a good 'un

Meh 😕

I love this writhing crazy but his work with Mr Marr is still superior.

I think I like this now more now than when it was first released.

Memmmmories ❤️

Not something I'd go out of my way to listen too again.

Will always be one of my favourite albums of all time

Meh

Boring as fuck. Sorry. Not sorry.

So HAPPY when I saw this one light up me screen !!!!

This is a brilliant album but also makes me incredibly sad, like Nick Drake's amazing works.

Meh. Not for Monday morning at work.

Meh

Aged well. Still worth a listen. May have killed Kurt though.

Bored

Love this band

NAHS

Ho hum

How many hundreds of times have I heard this and it's still up there !!!

Niiiice

The best thing about this was how the choice segued into some Frank Oceans whom I had forgotten all about !

I LOVE this - what an unexpected treasure !

Needs another listen

Absolutely brilliant album

Nice change of pace but rather generic voice of the time.

For this lyric alone - Blondie I heart you !! "And I know I'm gonna make her die Take her where her soul belongs"

Surprised that this has aged so well. I'd happily listen to this as background music in a bar. Nice work DeeeeL

It's as I remember. As a whole I prefer to just listen to the one track though.

It's a beauty and stands the test of time for sure

Definitely need to re-listen to this.

Never heard of the band before but quite liked it. Worth another listen.

Fucking EPIC !!!!!

Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth contains one of the best opening lines in modern musical history. 5 just for this beauty !!!

Never been a fan of the genre but appreciate the talent

So much shorter than a modern album. 2 minute songs, punch and catchy

One of the greatest albums of all time. Can even forgive the Scientology.

Not their catchiest - okaaaay

Opens with an absolute banger

The Art of Peer Pressure is a highlight. Not a fan of Kendrick's lyrics but the tune is sweet.

Deserves a re-listen (note to self !)

Davy and Mikey - hella spunkrats

I get it, but it's not my style. Scoring based on same genre not across all albums (I think)
