My 1001 Albums Journey

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Great recording, super groovy with a lot of interesting sounds. Super consistent, every song is equally good

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Pretty groovy, with all of the sounds being really good. but honestly kind of boring and a lot of the songs sound the same

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Kind of a hard album to rank, it feels bloated with a lot of songs that weren’t very good and could have been scratched, but then it also has some of the best songs the Beatles ever made, so overall I feel like it deserves a 4

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Great harmonies, a lot of the songs felt very similar and I didn’t love all of the songwriting

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

The songs are beautiful and Fitzgerald has a wonderful voice. It’s two legends in the jazz world coming together, which results in nearly 60 songs that are all spectacular. Unfortunately having to listen to the entire collection at once made it much less enjoyable, as it is so long, which made the experience closer to a three, but I think the album itself is really a 4

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

2/5

There were some parts of the production that I thought were pretty good, and I could hear some things that sounded like they inspired Radiohead that I enjoyed. It didn’t save the album though, I disliked most of the lyrics and melodies, and I cannot stand morrissey’s voice.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

1/5

I gave it an honest shot, but it was a very challenging album to get through, and I found myself hoping it would be over the entire time. there was some interesting musical ideas buried inside, but the album just isn’t my thing.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

2/5

The vocals were hard to listen to, the instrumentation was boring, and the songs felt weak, it did get better near the end though, which saved it from 1 star.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

I felt the album was kind of boring, and didn’t feel special in any way. Nothing was really bad, but it never caught my interest.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

One of the greatest albums of all time. Every song is so beautiful and interesting, and they come together in an album with such a unique sound that you don’t really get in many others.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

The allman brothers are great musicians, and there’s a lot of great stuff on the album, but the songs just drag on a little too much. There might be times where this would be a 4 for me, but at least this listen it was a strong 3.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5
