1001 Albums Summary

Easy to listen to, a solid album.

I love this album so much.

This grew on me. Definitely a vibe.

Definitely outside of my usual genres, it’s got a cool sound. I struggle with extremely long songs and repetitive lyrics, but I still found things to like here.

Enjoying this! I’ve previously had a fairly neutral feeling about the Go-Go’s, mostly only knowing the two singles from this album. Finding this fun! Fav tracks: Lust to Love, You Can’t Walk in Your Sleep, and Can’t Stop the World.

I previously thought I didn’t care for Bruce Springsteen. Happy to discover that’s no longer the case, or maybe I just needed the album experience. This was good.

I appreciate that the songs are short. These are all intense, but it’s not as hard to listen to as I feared.

Cool album! Great instrumentation here. Was familiar with Tom Sawyer of course, Vital Signs is new to me and quite good. I liked it!

Unfortunately very much not for me.

I've recently listened to a couple of later Bob Dylan albums (Love & Theft and Rough & Rowdy Ways) which I did not care for so I didn't have high hopes for this. Imagine my surprise when I actually liked this decently! Tangled Up in Blue was probably my favorite track. Solid.

Candy’s Room is excellent. I also really liked Promised Land and the title track. Nothing bad to say about this one, it’s a great album!

Some of this did not age well, including some slurs. I’m not generally an enjoyer of punk though other than particularly irksome songs like New York this was more ok than I expected.

This is a nice album, it's definitely melancholy but the vocals and the instrumentation are quite nice. I liked it.

Kind of surprised I don’t mind the vocals, and overall I liked this.

First thought is oh nice I like this! The second song has some weird instrumentation and a very suspect name. Overall it’s weird but not so weird as to be off putting and I like the instrumentation in several songs.

There’s some of Fatboy Slim’s best known songs here. I’m a fan of Praise You. Everything else was pretty enjoyable too, danceable and fun. I especially liked Acid 8000.

Definitely enjoyed a decent number of the tracks! Especially Go To the Mirror. It's cool that it's a rock opera but I didn't find the storyline extremely compelling. Still an enjoyable listen.

Bad is a good album! Some real hits on here like Man in the Mirror and and Smooth Criminal among others. The non singles are enjoyable if not particularly resonating or memorable on first listen.

The singles are of course very good. I really liked Grey Seal. I can’t say I liked every song but it’s overall quite good.

Beautiful, feels fitting to listen to this the day after Dolly passed away. Good storytelling. The title song is great. I also really liked The Way I See You and A Better Place to Live.

I think I just didn’t know who Van Morrison was before this, like I expected a different style (I was definitely thinking of Jim Morrison, shamefully). I like this quite a lot! Shame about his recent anti-science views.

This is not normally my favorite genre, and I don’t love this. However, I do like Search and Destroy and this wasn’t a bad listen for me by any means.

This is pretty solid. I quite liked Strange Ones. I found this an overall enjoyable listen.

You know what, hell yeah. I've listened to this before. I like it! On this listen I noted enjoying Zombie Eaters, Underwater Love, and the War Pigs cover especially.

Historically I have not been a fan of jazz. I'd say I didn't find this too hard to listen to but intermittently felt bored. Maybe I'll learn to appreciate jazz one day.

Not gonna lie, I say the album art and was very put off. However, to my delight this is a great album and very much my kind of thing! Really liked Star Sign. In their final track they question "Is This Music?" and it unquestionably is. I also feel I can appreciate the art a little more after I learned that Gene Simmons wanted to sue them for it. It's still super ugly though.

Somehow both groovy and a little boring

I really like the singles off this album, and don’t love the rest of the tracks. They aren’t bad though.

I really liked this. The energy was good. I was jamming along.

Definitely not my typical cup of tea. It wasn't all bad, but I don't envision myself listening to this often.

Deserves its spot among the greats. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

You can clearly see that this is the second side of Kid A, same weirdness. I found it slightly less approachable, but still enjoyable.

It's groovy! It remains to be seen how this compares to others like Purple Rain (been a while since I listened) but my suspicion is that I prefer that one. Still, a good album.

I'm not usually a fan of live albums, but this captures the energy of the show well and sounds remarkably good. It's a fun record.

I found this ok. It had to my taste way too many non-song tracks. The songs are decent and I like the concept too, but I don't find this very satisfying.

Mixed. Leaning dislike. I felt some hope at the start but just didn't connect with it.

I liked this! Very cool and some really nice instrumentation here.

Not sure why but I didn't expect to like this. I didn't totally love it but I did like it overall.

I'm not a punk fan generally, and while this didn't totally change that, I will say it helped push me a little further towards punk enjoyment. I liked the first song or two, then kinda got bored. But there is actual some melody in some of the instrumentation here which is nice.

Pretty nice listen. Good background music mostly, very chill.

I think this is pretty decent. I haven't listened to much of the Smiths and I'm pretty alright with doing so now.

I found this strangely compelling. I enjoyed it.

I've always liked the cover of this. Ugh at the first track, pick a different phrase. But overall fairly funky, not a terrible listen.

I really like British rap, grime especially. I was into this.

It's experimental and weird but not in a totally bad way. I can't say I loved it, but it was certainly interesting.

I did not enjoy this. Some of the electronic noises used are pretty shrill which I didn't like. And the repetitive lyrics are not my jam.
