1001 Albums Summary

Did not like the vocals, he wasn't in tone and at times was just shouting

The first 4 star album of the challenge. Very good punk music. Actually enjoyable

He can't sing for shit

Got bored, a slog to get through. A very pretentious Spotify self description. Their music doesn't match to it.

You can't actually expect someone to sit down and listen to a full album of this kind of music. It's hard to resist the the urge to dance. But I did and I liked the album. Still a banger all these years later. You don't get this kind of fusion of instrumentation in today's electronic and club music.

First 4 songs were amazing, especially the lead off track closer. the second half of the album falls flat.DID NOT LIKE 17.

When that guitar hit in maggot brain, I knew instantly this was a banger.

Not interested in hip hop. Awful genre. Don't even know why this is on here. Not wasting my time on this. Rating it a 1 just to hate. #NotRealMusic

Funk Punk Rock. The first actually good album these guys made. 3.5/5. It's not as good as By the Way, though. I will give it only 3 ,because of how long it is. It should have ended after Under the Bridge.

Pure bliss. 4/5 . Doesn't warrant many revisits

Proto Nirvana and Radiohead. Instant 5 stars.

I don't know what to rate this. On one hand, it can be viewed as an optimal "ambient listening album". You doing your chores or talking to someone in a social setting, I wouldn't mind this playing in the background. On the other hand, there are moments of brilliance in the music that make me want to rate it 5/5. But then again, for some people this may never warrant a revisit, while for others they will discover new things in the music on every listen. For some this is just glorified elevator or background music, while for others it is a landmark album. This the "Schrödinger's album". I have listened to it 3 times today, and I can't seem to make up my mind. I will rate it 3 as a middle ground, but that just seems unfair. So I will reluctantly give it 5

Can't believe this is on the list and not Mezzanine. Definitely not essential. 1/5

Kept on losing stars as the album progressed. Too long and not as good as the first track.

Yeah this one's a 5. Never listened to afro pop before. This is why I love this challenge.

This is why we do this

Nope

Another songwriter who can't sing for shit. Shit lyrics, swampy and incoherent music. Absolute ass.

Above average but average none the less

5 for having lead balls to release it. 1 for being actually shit.

Unexpectedly pleasant. I did not expect to give a R.E.M. album 5 stars. Superb production and songwriting. There was a saxophone part in one of the later songs, which completely took me by surprise.

The only ki d of hip hop I can listen to. The modern stuff is just shit.

2 hip hop albums in a row. I can't be bothered with this shit anymore. A lot actually influential and relevant albums missed out on this album because of this shitty music. All he talks about is effing the police and black people getting killed. Irrelevant stuff.

Again. So many deserving albums have missed out due to shit like this

Very enjoyable

There is no way I am seeing a fuckin supergrass album on this list

Not listening to all that

Another album with bangers after bangers. Also I get why this is on this list. The influence of this album is very clear. A delight. 5/5

Why tf would you add a 17 minute song in the middle of a decent album. 17 MINUTES!!!! IT WASN'T EVEN GOOD!!!

4 stars
