1001 Albums Summary

I enjoyed this album quite a lot. I’m a huge sucker for 80’s synth pop and this was no exception. Will definitely add it to my regular rotation.

such a classic. great listen for my early morning commute. i had never listened to the whole album front to back, and i must say i love the way it flows together

i feel like this album is definitely a staple. a must listen, but not something i would play everyday or have in my constant rotation.

This album feels safe, like a warm hug. Maybe it’s the nostalgia this album brings me, but Norah’s soothing voice brings so much comfort. I could listen to her for hours.

I’ve never actually listened to a Prince album from start to finish before this but I quite enjoyed myself. Had this on loop a couple times in the background at work and have definitely added it to my liked songs. Prince was such an influential voice and this album makes it clear as to why. I love how fun some of the songs are and will definitely be going back to this.

Average Rolling Stones album. Their influence is undeniable, but I wouldn’t find myself going back to this on the regular. Though I don’t think I would skip any of the songs if they came on shuffle either. Good for background noise

For a 90’s hip hop album I had never heard of, I quite enjoyed this. It didn’t feel like anything groundbreaking and is definitely a product of the times, but that’s not a bad thing. Great listen

Absolute perfection. Every song is a hit, one of the most memorable albums of all time for good reason.

this is the first album that i struggled to get through. for the year that this was released, it is clear just how much of a monumental album this was. it is so far ahead of its time, so punk, and introduces the world to something that really hadn’t been done before. that being said, personally it was a hard listen. the first two tracks were something i could get behind, but as the album went on it almost felt like the structure was falling apart. it was very unsettling, though i’m sure that was intentional. i’m glad i got to have the experience of listening to this album, but i don’t think it is something i will do again.

this album was painfully average for me. nothing bad about it at all, but nothing that particularly stands out either. i’ll likely revisit it every once in a while but to me it just sounds like a typical alternative record from the late 90’s/early 00’s. but sometimes that’s exactly what i need, so i guess mission accomplished?

literally one of the most timeless albums ever created, need i say more? this album is perfect. no notes.

This album was very soothing and relaxing. I could easily find myself leaning into this for background music when studying or just wanting something comforting in the background. It has a very nostalgic feel, reminding me of old video game soundtracks and early childhood in the 2000’s

iconic album with huge nostalgia factor
