1001 Albums Summary

4/5 - Enjoyed it overall, not something I'd listen to regularly, but it's very interesting to listen to it with the context of when it was made and its historical importance.

5/5 incredible album, not a single bad song on there

4/5 - fun album, not super special to me but very groovy

3/5 - First couple of songs and Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale were very good, aside from that cool but not really noteworthy

1/5 - got bored partway through, DNF

5/5, not every song was a banger but it was very consistently groovy as a baseline with a lot of giga bangers

1/5, another DNF, kinda painful to sit through. Certainly interesting going from Songs In The Key of Life yesterday to this today

2/5 - Seems like decent jazz which just isn't my thing, very good for background music though

4/5 - fantastic album but not my favourite by Metallica

Not my type of music but a very important album to me

3/5 - cool punk "album" (really a compilation, not sure why it's on here), not too special though

2/5 - favourite part of the album was the first 30 seconds of the first track, the rest was pretty boring and inoffensive

Bizarre and pretty disappointing compared to what I hoped it would be

3/5 - pretty cool stuff, not something I'd listen to regularly but I like the sound throughout

2/5 - cool music but just not my thing

2/5 - another one that's just not my thing, first track was pretty cool though

I enjoyed having it on but wouldn't choose to again. The artist seemed to be an incredible person from a little research though

3/5 - pretty good album but too laid back for me

3/5 - really good background music, not my thing though

4/5 - cool album with an interesting sound, very Beatles-y

3/5 - a lot of bangers but also a lot I just don't care about

4/5 - aside from my favourite track, I Believe in a Thing Called Love, this was just a generally good rock album

3/5 - would give 3.5 if I could. I enjoyed the album overall, just not something I'd probably go back to listen to again. First couple of songs I really enjoyed, the rest were solid but not stuff I'd listen to.

2/5 - Living in Another World was fairly interesting, apart from that I found it pretty boring

2/5 - fairly interesting but not for me

5/5 - Easiest rating so far, one of my favourite albums of all time

3/5 - pretty cool, not at all what I expected, I think I mixed up Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne

3/5 - Some really cool songs, a lot I wasn't hugely interested in

3/5 - couple of cool songs, I didn't outright dislike any but consistently alright

4/5 - Christmas bangers all the way through

5/5 - this was my first Metallica album when I started listening to the band so maybe that's why, but I don't get the hate that some people have for this. Every song is a banger imo

2/5 - I didn't hate it but a lot of the songs irritated me. I didn't like the repetition of lyrics and something about the rhythm of the vocals really bugged me.

4/5 - fantastic album overall, couple of songs I'm not as big a fan of but no misses

4/5 - This felt way ahead of its time, I'd never guess early 70s if someone asked. I probably wouldn't listen to this as an album due to the interludes and overall length, but I really enjoyed the songs. I found the repeated lyrics a bit mixed, I enjoyed it sometimes and didn't others, but the instrumentals were consistently really impressive.

3/5 - Walk This Way is incredible, Sweet Emotion was really good, aside from that it was all good but nothing that stood out to me personally

3/5 - Not bad but not my thing

4/5 - Consistently enjoyable, I'd be happy to listen to it again if it came on. None of the tracks hugely stood out though, but it seemed like a couple did some cool things by potentially using tempo changes? Solid overall

2/5 - Not my thing at all, pretty generic

3/5 - Not generally a fan of country but this was pretty good. Apart from a couple of songs I probably wouldn't listen to it again.

2/5 - Probably good for its genre, really not my thing though. Would work well as chill background music but I wouldn't actively listen again

4/5 - Would give 3.5 if I could, I enjoyed it almost enough to listen to again. I liked the cover of War Pigs, aside from that consistently good.

3/5 - Somewhere between a 3 and 4. I really liked parts of it that felt really unique and interesting and fun to listen to, but there were multiple songs that I didn't get on with at all

3/5 - Great beats throughout and super important historically from what I can tell, but the lyrics and flow just don't hold up that well. Enjoyed the whole album, especially the dynamics with the vocalists, but not enough to listen to again

2/5 - Really not for me. For me to like non-English language music it's got to really stand out to me and this didn't, the music itself wasn't bad though.

2/5 - Very much not for me. Generally not a fan of live albums but the recording seems to have been done well for this one. Easily the Frenchest album I've ever heard.

3/5 - Not a fan of the first slower and sadder half just out of personal taste, second half was pretty good though. Maybe not much I'd listen to actively but definitely interesting.

3/5 - Paint It, Black is fantastic, aside from that nothing stood out

4/5 - Super unique, I enjoyed most if not every song, some did go on too long though.

3/5 - very groovy but too slow and samey for me. The vocals started to grate on me about half way through

2/5 - As much as I love their debut album, this really didn't do it for me. Really enjoyed Money for Nothing and Your Latest Trick but apart from that really not for me, I was getting pretty bored during the second half.

4/5 - Really really solid all the way through, and even though I didn't pick up on much deeper meaning I can tell there's a lot there. On a repeat listen after looking into the album more, could easily be a 5.

3/5 - Not my taste but I did really like Waltz Me Once Again Around the Dance Floor

This has shown me how surprising it is that I like Tainted Love, I really disliked his voice and singing style on every other track

3/5 - Solid throughout but just not my thing

4/5 - Strange rating for this one because every song individually is fantastic, but Axl Rose's voice becomes too grating over a full album's length for me.

4/5 - Would give 3.5 if I could. All of it was really solid but I'm not a fan of the intro/outro of Watermelon Man (possibly a hot take)

4/5 - A couple songs I knew and a lot that surprised me coming from the Rolling Stones

4/5 - Amazing album, not my favourite by Gorillaz but that says more about their others than this one

4/5 - not something I'd choose to put on, but so unique and interesting

2/5 - A couple of amazing songs with a lot that really didn't interest me
