1001 Albums Summary

… Tipton and I were talking about Charlie Kirk when “Daddy?” filled the car. Welcome back, Chuck! Will I ever listen again? Maybe to The O-Men or K*untz if I’m feeling like a little freak. The last song was kinda cool but also… 😭 It’s weird how the album sometimes sounds like real music before deciding again that it doesn’t wanna be that

i don’t want to get kicked out of this group on my second day so i’ll give it a five but sometimes his voice makes me mad </3 love King Kunta and These Walls tho it’s an iconic album you cannot deny it

the kind of music that kinda blends into the background like i’m at a nice coffee shop. Dirty Work is such a fun song though

listened to this one as it was intended: my car was playing it on the inside while i spent a half hour getting all the snow and stuff off. on my second listen, though, i was just a little lost, like, why is this album on this list? but The Rough And The Quick is hilarious and Belladonna is a great vibe, "They're Hanging Me Tonight" is a great title too lmao 2.5?

once it set in that the entire melody of the first song was a straight A, i knew i was gonna be tired by the end of this <3 Some of the lyrics are very entertaining, like "Minnesoter" and the "Junkie" one, but i'm getting worried that i'm gonna ask "why is this on this list" every time i listen to one of these albums... like who is litening to "Green" and is like 'this is life-changing...' maybe this just isn't my scene i mean, really, the last song is the same thing for 9 minutes straight idk

okay frank! fuck 'em up! half sick video game music, half extremely obnoxious saxophone that made me almost skip "The Gumbo Variations"

one of the happiest albums of all time (minus Homeless, maybe)??? just so full of joy and so well done and so cultural? or something? reminds me of my (and Tipton’s) dad, Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes went platinum in the car

He just says every thing he can think of that would make someone go "oh my god! did he just say that?" Stan is a good song until i remember the only reason it's good is the sample </3 idk i obviously wasn't there for this album like you edgelords were... in fact, i wouldn't be born for another four years. it's just not for me, and i know that... i am aware of that fact... and i am sorry. i'm sure some of these songs could be really good if i listened without any clouded judgement, but my judgement of Eminem is swathed with smog

say what you want to say but i want you guys to relisten to Overcome and tell me it's not perfect </3 (i'm sure u guys know of his history with Massive Attack and i think this album is better than lots of their stuff)... i don't know. this album is much more memorable than that damn Red Snapper shish! some songs go on a little too long or are super monotonous (Aftermath, You Don't, Strugglin', etc.) and i also think Martina Topley-Bird and the other female vocalists make this album, without her it would be boring as hell. but with songs like Overcome, Ponderosa, and Suffocated Love, this album is AT LEAST a 3... this album's play with samples and major-minor switches is so entertaining to me... i'm not trying to glaze i swear. </3 and you all can't act like this album isn't sexy as hell... wtf... the first half is better than the second half but the second half makes up for it with sexiness and ASMR

This was such a roller coaster for me, and not in a good way. I was stuck in Lexington traffic when I listened to the majority of this, and some of the songs were so frustrating that I considered aiming for the trees. Here and there one would get my feet tapping, but I found a few songs here to be shockingly bad. Best I can do is a 1.5.

i don’t know why we hate Morrissey but i’m okay with it, i guess. this album had some good vibes, and the song titles kept getting funnier but i kept getting bored, and im sorry.

have never listened to TRS actively, and i think it's better that way... this album is great to mindlessly drive to while not paying too much attention to it if that makes sense

lol Tip was right, this sounds like I'm in an empty warehouse being taunted by some jazzy clowns, Today was the most warehouse song I've ever heard, I swear they recorded the drums on the opposite side of an airplane hangar from the mic I was shocked to hear female vocals, I liked her presence in these songs the most. the whole album is a little too "wild west-y" for me, if that makes sense? but it had a nice vibe. I wish more of the songs were based in the Major realm overall, like I said about Steely Dan, this is good background coffee shop music (well, some of it. some of it is really violent, like if 3/5 of a Mile was playing I'd be a little unmoored) most of these songs kinda flew under the radar for me, but I liked them all more than the Morrissey and The Rolling Stones so I'll give it a higher score... I'm still trying to figure out my system for this guys I'm stressed. 3.5/5??

go and die! go and kill! go and quench! yay! yea i had to read about it after reading your reviews and this is so awesome. really sad that so much awful shit happened but the message and encompassing situation is awesome as f. Zombie itself is an awesome song, especially the go and die go and quench go and kill put am for reverse part lmfao. Mr. Follow Follow is a great vibe as well, the backing vocals are my favorite part (g'boing-boing-boing please) I just know being at the Berlin Jazz Festival for that performance was probably the height of many people's lives. that organ is sick as hell. Overall, with the history and the message and everything surrounding this album, I'm going to have to give it a 5, even if I won't be saving these songs and listening all the time. the vibe that would require listening to this album again is extremely specific, but Inshallah it finds me

yeah, I enjoyed it, it was nice to have on in the background, nothing stuck out but I mean that in multiple ways. nothing was awful but nothing was amazing. i liked it! Laughing was probably my favorite.

I just couldn't really get myself to care about this one. Nice vibes sometimes, some Jesus Christ Superstar style scream-vocals, I'm just like oh okay

really great vibes, would fit great in a movie soundtrack of some kind. Halo really stood out to me. as a whole, I wish some of the songs played with modulating to major keys more. also, the end of Enjoy the Silence flopped 3.5?

very fun, great vibes, my only qualm is that most of the songs are extremely similar... and I'm not just saying that because of their genre, they like actually really blended together for me... and that started to make me mad so what could've been a 4 will become a 3...

real nice vibes. similar to the Steely Dan, this album is a "King's Classic," meaning it would fade perfectly into the background of a nice homework session at The King's Cafe.

yeah it was cool, all of the samples were creative and used really well, I just wasn’t that obsessed with it while I was listening idk

it’s a wonderful album and is extremely culturally significant, the Ronettes are amazing and it’s all such a fun time! getting a 4 tho bc a few of these songs were real duds

this dude is a huge simp like omg.. it was gonna get a 5 for Feel It (Don’t Fight It) alone, but it got knocked down to a 4.5 because a few of the songs lost me a bit. but the fact that this was a live performance definitely saved it, I was in love the whole time and couldn’t stop smiling, I love when the crowd got to sing. But for real, almost every song was like “idc if you cheat on me or try to kill me or have another husband, I will always love u…” and it was super funny

I hate to say it, I don't wanna sound ridiculous, I just cannot make myself care. some of the songs sound really nice, I just really don't care. Sorry to this man.

I loved this! the vibe was excellent, and oddly country at times? Born Under a Bad Sign was my fav, but goddd that outro track is heavenly. would be a 5 if a few of the songs didn't kinda tire me, like Tonight
