1001 Albums Summary

Energetic, provocative, and funky. Gets repetitive a bit too quickly, but it is enjoyable.

I keep not liking it. Way too long. Some great songs washed down in the general mediocrity of the album. Boring and repetitive. Not my cup of tea.

Solid and consistently good album, back to back. Nice solos. Quite enjoyable.

Timeless classic, foundational for soul and r&b. Smooth Operator is such a strong opening. Gets a bit redundant towards the end.

The first song is charming, creative and fun. Then it goes on and on for 45 minutes. Not my gerne, but still charming.

I grew up listening to this one. I still consider it a masterful, emotionally charged piece of art.

I didn't know of this one, but sadly hard rock isn't for me anymore. If I had listened to it fifteen years ago, I'd have probably found it amazing. Today i can recognise some interesting patterns and a couple of entertaining songs, but I find it mostly tedious.

I love this classic record.

Timeless classic. Beautiful voices, masterful arrangements. A bit too long.

I didn't know this. Got repetitive after a while, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Instant classic. Must listen for the genre. Slim Shady was upfront, edgy, unruly, but through all the act, depicted the deep difficulties of growing up in poverty. The homophobia and misogyny was crude at the time and is aging like rotten milk.

Wow. I've oh my favourite albums ever. Milestone of its genre. I love it.

Charming and timeless. I just love her voice and her poetry.

What the. This was... impactful. I don't know if I hated it deeply or kinda enjoyed going through it. Cold and unpleasant, surprising and unheard, brave and avantgarde, cacophonic and tedious. Is this a 2/5 or a 4/5? What I know is that I never lost interest in it while listening. It kept me with it. It stuck with me. And this has value. I don't know if I'll ever go through it again. Maybe if I feel weird. This 4 is gonna stick out and bother me just like the album bothered me to listen to it. Somehow, for me, it makes sense.

Bland, boring, uninspired. Never got the appeal of this album, when there are so many better ones by Bob Dylan. Shouldn't be on this list.

Late 70s power indie pop in a nutshell, with a sprinkle of early punk. No more, no less. If you're into that, you'll enjoy this one. For me: Boring. Uninspiring. Forgettable.

The title track is one of the best classic rock songs ever. Deep, emotional, and involving. The rest of the album doesn't really hold to the comparison. Afterall, it was enjoyable.

The studio debut of a band who went on making some damn beautiful music. This one is very indie, both in sound and production, with neck breaking pace and energy for days. To me, it's a very solid 4 or a lukewarm 5. Not a single skip in this track, on multiple listens.

An indie rock experience I knew nothing about. Peculiar, alive, electric.

How did i sleep on this marvel 'til now?

Fela Kuti! How did I forget about you? I listened to a couple of albums years ago and then... lost in my memory. What a pleasure to listen to this. We need more Afrobeat in the world.

A very good record I haven't listened to in a while.

I'm not a huge fan of the Smiths and I'm not particularly into Morrissey solo career. The album was slightly better than I expected, but I struggled to go through the whole of it. I don't think I will listen to it again.

Never heard before. Felt nice and energetic, I wish I knew more french to follow the lyrics properly as it quite a focus in the record. Happy to see some music from outside the US or the UK in here.

I love Tarkus so much. I've been an ELP fan for quite some time. I love the blend between rock and classical music on this track, the focus on keyboards and synthesizer (instead of guitar for a change) and the wacky concept. Maybe some lyrics are weird. Maybe some tracks on side B aren't as strong. But Tarkus is a masterpiece to me.

This is a slow, guitar filled, classic rock album. Mark Knopfler is always a pleasure to listen to. To my taste, there are some very nice track and way too many forgettable fillers. I love Dire Straits, but I think they work way better in a Greatest Hits compilation.

Even if I'm not really a fan of The Police, neither of Sting's style, O found myself appreciating this album more that expected. It kept me company and I didn't wander off with my mind too much. But out of the first track, there's not one the actually stands out to me or that I would relisten to.

I liked the album. It has character and style. I'm not really a lover of the new wave/post punk era, but I'd suggest it to everyone who is.

Kinda generic rock, kinda not my genre. Quite forgettable.
