1001 Albums Summary

So so much fun, exciting and all encompassing. Close to a 5/5, a purely entertaining album

A total masterpiece. Each don't is so bright and full of life, the musicians are feeling it, the crowd is feeling it. The tracklisting is perfectly paced, moving through smooth soft blues to electrifting jazz that feels like you've been hit by lightning, all while never tiring you out. The introductions and crowd noise is the perfect reminder that jazz is best experience live and it does it's best job of trying to put you there in the room. I cannot say enough good things about this album, an all time must listen.

A couple of really great and fun songs but suffers from too much samey-ness. I appreciate the DIY vibe of the production and the highlights really shine, but by the time you get to the end of the album it's all a bit bland

Some nice highlights but unfortunately as a whole the album is a bit boring. Just not my thing, but I can appreciate why it's influential

Fun and strange but not much more than that unfortunately

Brilliant album that is fun from start to finish

I'm surprised I didn't enjoy this more. For an album with such grand, dense instrumentation and lush production, it often felt like it was going nowhere she saying nothing. Many of the songs felt like I was just waiting for them to end.

At first listen I thought this was pretty decent but the more I came back to it the more it bored me. An album of iconic sounds from iconic bands that never meets the quality of what it's copying. The band are absolute masters of saying absolutely nothing with their lyrics. Vague, meaningless rubbish that's so general it's impossible to feel a connection to what's being said. Just because an album is influential, doesn't mean it's good.

Pretty great, not every song is perfect but the best songs are nothing short of incredible

Don't let the bubbly first song fool you, this album moves effortlessly better getting so boring I could call asleep, to so annoying you'll wish you never started it

Immensely irritating vocals to ruin a couple of fun instrumentals. The rest is so dull

Is it one of the 1001 best albums of all time? No, probably not. Is it bright, fun and catchy as hell? Fuck yes it is!

A pretty fantastic debut album with a a clear sound, clean production and good vibes all round

There's a couple of good songs here but the rest just fucking suck

A very very cool idea let down by muddy production and Metallica's inconsistent discography

A couple nice tunes but mostly a boring slog. Most of Lorde's lyrics are so cringe I wanted to crawl out my skin

Really like the message, really like lots of the instrumentation, but oh my god his voice I can't handle a whole album of it

High school prom music for people who skipped all their classes

Seriously seriously fun. A high 3 and a nice change of pace from recent albums

I fucking love this again, it never gets old. I could listen again and again and again

I totally get it's influence and popularity, just not for me

Extra star for Couldn't Love You More the rest of this sucked ass

A beautiful voice over instrumentals which are nothing special

Absolutely brilliant, so close to a 5

Very very high 3, a beautiful album with some stand out tracks

Every criticism of Slipknot is correct but I still like them

Lots of fun but a little too lounge jazz for me

It's not bad but a bit dated

Not for me

Such a classic

I see why people like it but I just find it too boring

So boring

Really really enjoyed it until I realised after 10 songs I was only half way through

Pretty cool

Good but not their best

Fun fun fun! Breezed through this

I like it but don't love it

lots and lots of fun i loved it

I understand the music is good but it didn't impact me much

Not my kind of thing

Tooooooooooo lloooonnnnggggggggggg

It was alright

Enjoyed more than I expected to

Genuinely can't figure out if I really enjoyed it or was really bored?

Possibly the greatest vocalist of all time?

Brilliant production and performances can't quite help me get over the fact that I fucking hate Christmas music

The vision isn't always there but when it is this album is an absolute masterpiece

This album reminds me of being in uni, piling into someone's bedroom at a house party because the wannabe DJ has brought his USB with the most despicable music you've ever heard. Everyone hoping he stops but nobody brave enough to tell him to. Every so often you walk back into the living room, trying to convince yourself it's getting good now but the rooms still empty. And the worst part of it all? Years later, that guy will be what you remember of the night

Beautiful, tragic, an all round incredible album. RIP Jeff Buckley

Just fine

Wow this was fucking terrible what the fuck

So Little Child is pretty fucking weird, right?

When it's good it's great but lots of it blurs together

Nice, but nothing too special

If this album was just the songs with lyrics it might be a 5, but the instrumental songs idle around too much for it to have impact

A couple songs in the middle drag for me but for the most part I'm surprised to say I absolutely loved this album

A harsh 3, possibly 4 on another listen

I feel like I should be rating this higher but it just didn't hit me like I wanted it to

Now I wanna go play baseball!

Awesome production makes this album fly by even with it's hefty runtime

Starts with entertaining but after seeing 5 or 6 it really becomes a dated and difficult album to listen to

Better on each listen and has something real to say. Shame the reviews are terrible just cause it's just cause it's not actually shit Beatles clone from the 70s

Shite Oaais copycats

Some absolute classics muddied by lots of filler

Incredibly dull

A harsh 3 but a 3 nonetheless

I enjoyed this while listening but am certain I will never revisit it

Steely Dan continue their trend of writing a couple of the best songs I've ever heard and sprinkling them in-between a load of nothing

Surprised at how much I enjoyed this

Genius

I see the light! And it's a romp!

Enjoyed more than I thought and Jesus CHRIST the musical talent in display is crazy

Can't even think of a funny pun this album was just fine

Teases you with a great first half but loses momentum and ends with a whimper

The loungiest of lounge jazz. Like living in a shit perfume ad

Massive fun with only a little quality

Derivative, boring crap that I barely got through. But Homesick is one of the best songs on any album so far

Objectively good music just not my thing

Sufjan Stevens you will always have my heart

Nice to have a go to album for Halloween now

Every song is just sitting around waiting for him to shut the fuck up

Definitely good but didn't leave a big impact on me unfortunately

For a two hour album this flies by. There's absolutely some fat to trim, but so much of the album is pure quality

Nearly great but can't quite get over the line

Iconic and infinitely listenable. Head bobbing grooves to make your soul dance

Awesome album. Beats go hard, bars are wicked. Iconic modern British music and every happy to see it on the list

Like a cool breeze on a warm summer day, it's hard not to be in a good mood listening to this album

A bit of fun but not a whole lot of substance

I get the hype now

What's the only thing worse than a bad album? A really fucking boring one

Just a good fucking vibe

Sort of seeing between really really enjoying this and being really bored by it. Might have to revisit and re-evaluate

The vibes are insane the fun is too strong

Good vibes all round and didn't overstay it's welcome

Like a store bought Victoria sponge cake. Definitely not bad, and sometimes you get a bite with jam and cream and it's really good. But looking back once you've finished, it's nothing special

This album had me in a chokehold in my mid teens, now it has me in a chokehold in my mid twenties. Life is good

Pretty awesome to get to listen to an album and see the massive influence it had decades later

Feels so harsh giving this a 4 when it's packed with some of the best songs of all time. But alas, here we are

I feel so harsh rating this so low because she is undeniably and incredibly vocalist but I just found the whole thing unmemorable and a bit boring. Felt like I was waiting for it to end and by the time it did I had forgotten it all

Just a fun fucking time

Quite unremarkable

I've never wanted to go to the honkeytonk so badly

Really struggled to get into this one

Good but nothing special

Feels extremely ahead of it's time for when it came out and still holds up well today

Absolutely timeless, great vibes. Feels like the perfect thing as the season changes to spring. But what do I know? Not like I'm a mathematician or something

Great vibes but heavily influenced by the fact it was one of the first sunny days of the year yesterday

So beautiful it's hard to put into words, but definitely need to be in the right mood for it

Thought this was gonna be fun but actually it just fucking sucked

Thought this was alright 40 minutes in until I looked and realised I had EIGHT TRACKS LEFT

Smooth like butter and the kind of funky that heals the soul

It's alright

If I was as sexy as Prince I'd probably be this horny too to be fair

Enjoyable but not very impactful. I don't see myself coming back to it

Really doesn't do anything for me

G.R.E.A.T

This is a perfect 10 song album and a very very good 18 song album

Makes me want to drink shit beer in a red flannel shirt on the porch of my farm house. Man I fucking love Eagles

Fuck you I won't review what you tell me!

An inspiring story about how no matter where in the world you're from, you too could one day be part of a pretty crap album

I mean c'mon. It's ABBA! What do you even need to say?

A defining album of my childhood and forever a classic

Uhh what

Everything blended together, very dull

Unfortunately I think this caught me on the wrong day

Not sure I get the hype

I have no good reason for why but it feels wrong to like this album as much as I do. Call me a crazy horse I guess

Two adult men whining about how women don't want to sleep with them. At its best this album is a boring, generic 60s album. At its worst it comes across as judgemental and sexist

Nearly very good but lacks the bite it needs for me. The garage/DIY production gets in the way of it being really great. Also always sad to be reminded tiktok is rotting my brain

I had a lot of hope for this after the first few songs but after a while it so blended into a boring, crap mess

FUCK this rips so hard. An insanely good time it put me in such a good mood

Expectations were low but this album is just a great fucking vibe

The man on the cover looks like a boring wanker which makes sense because this feels like an album for boring wankers

All you need to know is Imagine is the best song

Probably the most disappointing pick so far. I don't know why anyone would ever want Bee Gees without the disco

I was looking for some songs and then I found some songs, and heaven knows I'm miserable now

Fucking depressing how relevant this album still is. Fuck the police

Fuck me this got old quick. The first few songs tricked me into thinking this might be really fun, but by the end I barely noticed the songs changing

Better than imagine but mostly cause it sounds more like a Beatles album

I can't believe it's taken me this long to listen to Bowie, I mean wow

Thoroughly impressed by how much this fucking rips

Fucking awesome

If this album generator has taught me anything, it's that punk music really isn't for me

One of the all time greats and gone too soon, we love you Big

Absolute perfection. Hits every time

What if The Smiths were really fucking boring and generic and I could only listen to them on YouTube for some reason

An all time great by an all time great. This album takes you on a journey you'll never want to end

Surprisingly good until it's surprisingly long

As a fan of experimental she Avant Garde music, I can safely say this shit fucking sucks what the fuck

Very fun and entertaining while I was listening, can't wait to forget it instantly

I thought I'd never heard this before, turns out I have heard it in every car advert I've ever seen

Today is the first day of my life PI (post Innervisions) and the sun looks brighter, the birds sing louder and everything seems like it might just be alright

This shit fucking rips hell yeah

This was great until I realised I was half way through and there was another 8 fucking songs

This was quite boring

A good start but peters out pretty quick

Fuck yeah this album is so much fun

Forgettable in the end

I wish I liked this more as it is at times gorgeous. But there is too much searching for those beautiful moments to make it a round experience

Not sure how much I'd revisit it but I had a great time while it was on

No thank you

Really enjoyed this quite a lot. Good vibes all round

Thank god, a break from all the crap British pop and rock of the late 1900s. I don't think I can handle another song from Lennon's solo career. Oh god

Absolutely adored this album

I always avoided the police cause I thought sting looked and sounded like a bit of a wanker. Now I can confirm - he's a wanker who can write a catchy tune!

The worst kind of album you can be, boring. Left no impact, felt no emotion. It was just on and then it wasn't

Very good very good

Wow I loved this so much!

There aren't enough words to properly describe this album. Intimate yet grand, soft and tender yet powerful and moving. The range in tone, style and emotion is something only a great like Bowie could pull off. Truly a unique album from a unique voice and a special soul. Utterly brilliant

Yeah that was alright

This shit fucking rips and I love it. Put me in a great mood

This was so boring

A bit too long but otherwise brilliant

Feels like something that I should really enjoy and appreciate but for whatever reason it just didn't hit for me

Really quite beautiful, I enjoyed this album a lot

Probably the best cover artist of all time!

Fun but doesn't feel essential. Not sure why it's on the list

I! Love! Talking! Heads!

The best punk album so far, definitely influenced by the fact it's 15 minutes long

A complete masterpiece until it turns into a huge boring riff-fest for the last few tracks

Quite charming and at times very good, butassively outstays it's welcome

Lots of fun but her voice can be a bit much at times

A strange album, it reminds me of a lot of different things but at the same time still feels fresh and unique

Absolutely perfect. Utterly adored

Loved this way more than I expected to, an insanely beautiful album

Fun but I doubt I'll return

My first and hopefully only did not listen. Don't give this loser nonce any of your streaming money. Cringe

I really want to complain about how insanely long this album is but unfortunately it is really great

While Tina's voice is undeniably incredible, on its own it wasn't enough to Turner me into a fan

Don't really understand the 'this is great because it's what the Beatles wouldn't let Paul do' when this just sounds like a middling Beatles record

No, thank you

Weird in a way that made it hard to take seriously

A tough album to judge. Sometimes great with driving energy and cool riffs. But often undercut by moments so silly it's like the album doesn't want you to take it seriously. Ultimately the final product is bloated, messy and you have to really dig to get the great stuff

Yeah I mean it was alright

Silky smooth and oh so sexy

One of those albums where I can totally see why it's great but it's just bit really my thing

Loved this even if not every track is amazing

I found this quite boring

I don't want to sound like a broken record but the amount of albums on this list I'd absolutely love it they were about 30% shorter is getting a bit silly

Amazing how elitist people get over electronic music when they'll get hard for every mediocre Beatles rip off on this list

It's actually impressive that in a discography of 4 albums they still managed to pick the wrong album

Fuck off Elvis Costello

Not bad but not a huge impact

Classics from one of the all time greats, you can't go wrong

Not what I expected at all. All over the place sonically but always feels like Blur. A seriously good time

Happy Mondays made for a sad Sunday

It's Miles Davis, what more do you need to say?

Exactly as brilliant as it's reputation. It's nice to listen to something on this list that just oozes fun

Turns out I quite like punk when it's Ska

Don't let the incredible opener fool you this album is just okay

Just gorgeous

Pretty fucking cool

Nothing I can say will give appropriate credit to how fucking awesome this album is

Banger album

May not be as high art as some other albums on this list, but this sure is a lot of fun

Play that funky music, white boys

I get why this is so beloved but something about it just doesn't quite click for me

Can't believe I enjoyed this as much as did

This is so forward thinking for the time, that is a fact. That does not make it in any way listenable. Maybe with the absolute perfect vocalist there's a version of this album that works but brother you are not the guy, what the fuck is this. No thank you not one bit

Obligatory 4 stars for Bowie. Surprisingly weird and ambient, I enjoyed it

Was quite enjoying this until I read some context about him. Fuck this guy and fuck this album, if you want to listen to great music go and find the original artists!

A fucking great time back to front, can't fault at all

Fuck yeah

One of those middling Beatles albums I never bothered to look at. Boy I wish I'd checked it out sooner! Just brilliant songs well made, the perfect blend of their early and late work

Really enjoyed this, lots of fun and what a voice!

Charming, but not that good

I know there's only two of them, but god I wish they'd mixed some bass into these tunes

Not awful but extremely forgettable

You can't not dance to this it's brilliant

Genuinely surprise by how much I enjoyed this, what fucking bangers

Always a bad day when you have to admit you like something Morrissey made

Very much my thing

Like gently lazing down a river in a canoe this album lulls you in and breezes by, wonderful

So fucking awesome I love you Black Sabbath

Can't go wrong with god old Bobby

It's the best Beatles album

Sweet, but boring and absolutely does not belong on this list

Definitely a 3.5 but unfortunately some albums must fall victim to the 1001albumsgenerator 5 star system

This happened and then it was over

I like Fleetwood Mac and I like this album

Fucking hell I really didn't enjoy this. What a slog, so annoying, fuck this shit. Just cause you can play your instruments well doesn't mean you're making good music

Man this Elvis guy ain't half bad, I think he might be going places!

Wow I'm surprised at how much I loved this what an awesome fucking album. A bit long but a great time

Fucking spectacular. Such a great feeling when an album with so much reputation completely lives up to the hype

Fucking hell this is pretty brilliant isn't it

Sort of hard to review because it's not technically bad but it still made me like of angry to listen to

I dunno man maybe they have lost some of their spark but I found this so boring. My first DNF in a while

I'm starting to realise as someone in their 20s I'm ok probably notably you get than most people leaving reviews on this site

Music for people who know how to have fun

Left little impact on me if I'm honest. Well performed, but didn't get me excited

I feel bad because this album definitely caught me on the wrong day. But I couldn't get behind the depressing weathered old man thing when it's so sunny outside

Disappointingly generic

Seriously fun, seriously funky. You can't not have a great time listening to this
