1001 Albums Summary

Very chill while still dramatic somehow? First time really listening to Neil (other than his hits). Think I prefer something more chaotic, but it's nice. Fall vibes. I admit though, Old Man is a classic for a reason (as a Canadian I should show him at least a little appreciation). Nvm, the second half of the album is lowkey redeeming it a little for me... fave = Words I think he's a good musician and it's a decent album that's worth listening to, but not really my taste, too cowboy-esque. Maybe I will try re-listening in the future tho :)

For a while I have neglected the majority of Radiohead's discography (other than Pablo Honey, strangely?), mostly because of the association the band has with pretentious mansplaining pricks. However, I've overcome my stubbornness as I've matured and I can say that this album is actually something I enjoy. It's definitely something I would've enjoyed more in my depressive stoner era, but I appreciate the whole atmosphere. Standout songs for me: - Subterranean Homesick Alien - Let Down - The Tourist Don't think I'll relisten to most of it anytime soon because the album is too relevant to modern society and it'll only make me sad. Great album though!

classic; no words

Walmart Limp Bizkit. I'd give it more like 1.5 tbh because I'm definitely not a fan (been avoiding listening to this album for weeks since it came up), but I have heard worse. An hour of my life I will never get back unfortunately </3

it's alright for what it is but rly not my thing

makes me wish I was alive in the 80s so I could have experienced the clubbing scene

I understand the polarizing responses to this album, however, I lie somewhere in between. I can appreciate the influence this had shaping avant-garde/experimental music and I applaud Beefheart's originality. There weren't any tracks I would relisten to on their own, but I do think that one day when I'm smoking up I will give the album another go because it intrigues me. Until then, I will stick to the Mothers and Zappa :p

ugh kim gordon is such a badass i love you

I could see myself listening to this if it was snowy outside and baking cookies with the love of my life. But it's not winter and I'm not in love, so I guess this album wasn't meant to find me yet. I do appreciate this album and Ray Charles' gorgeous voice, but as of now, I do not see myself returning to this anytime soon.

It feels unfair for me to give this album a rating considering I mostly listen to western music (trying to expand my horizons...) so I don't know how to compare this to other African music. I did enjoy the album though and the energy it brought! :)

Listening to this is making me realize how much I've been sleeping on Kanye. Chose to avoid him out of spite for him (and his fans) but I'm regretting it now. This album is such a banger even though it's not the usual type of music I listen to. The way he raps is just so satisfying to the ear.

Never been a Metallica fan, so this album was just kinda boring (especially since it goes on for two hours…). I don’t think it’s bad and I’m sure this is epic for their fans, just not my thing :)

The first live album I fell in love with as a kid. Perfection.

Idk it's fine I guess. Bro sounds like Michael Jackson.

As a kid who grew up with a music nerd father, the Beatles were one of the select artists I had downloaded on my iPod Nano. One summer at the park there was a face painting stand and for my turn, I asked for John Lennon glasses. To my 6-year-old self's dismay, the teenage volunteer awkwardly asked my parents who that was. Reflecting on the Beatles now, I don't think I have listened to one of their albums front to back (despite knowing a large chunk of their discography), so maybe I was a poser. I enjoyed listening to this album, however I can recall tracks from other albums I have enjoyed more (understandable, as this is still early Beatles). Can't wait to thoroughly explore the rest of their releases! Thank you papa for raising me to have slightly pretentious but good taste!

just too good <3 rip ian curtis

^3.5

What the hell, sure! Definitely enjoyable, but I don't think I would relisten tbh

honestly i liked it more than i thought i would! i don’t have anything against new wave but sometimes it can get a little repetitive imo. but this pleasantly surprised me!

I recognized a few songs off the album, but never heard of the guys before this so it's nice to put a name to the music. Definitely get the 'American Beatle' title and this it is well deserved (especially considering the Beatles' praise for him). Very cool, Schmilsson!

actually rly enjoyed this one! very interesting and i could see myself putting it on as background for writing!

purrr

This was pretty cool!! Definitely going to relisten to this on a summer beach day!

It's really not my thing, but I'm sure it's good for what it is. Definitely interesting to listen to!

Classic. Makes me miss the days in high school when I played in a band </3

Not bad, but didn't need to hear it before I died tbh. Plus points for the queer rep tho

pretty cool 👍

don’t get the negative reviews tbh. was it a standout? no. but i honestly enjoyed it, good background vibes

i’d bump it to 2.5 if i could. didn’t hate but didn’t keep my attention

love love love

radicalized my teenage self. this album will forever be a part of me
