1001 Albums Summary

Best Fleetwood Mac album with their best song (You Make Loving Fun), the whole album is banger after banger. Makes me want to wear some enormous sleeves and twirl around

Very far out of my music comfort zone, it makes me wanna dance at a club in the 90s but also that lowkey sounds like a nightmare

Saw that it was indie rock and got excited, forgot that most male indie rock musicians are terrible singers. Cool instrumentation and lots of good guitar moments but I can’t rate higher than a 3 cuz dude was obnoxious

Basically Sgt Pepper if it was a little less exciting. Still a solid psychedelic rock album, felt like an alternate universe Beatles. Fav: The Journey Least fav: Baron Saturday

Really fantastic R&B album & super impressive vocals but sometimes her runs felt so excessive, I know that’s typical of the genre but dang girl!! Anyway not many complaints here Fav: Ex-Factor

Spencer said I would rate it one less star than him and he was right on the money. Mid ass new wave

Turns out I really like Latin rock

Could not understand a word he said, would not have liked it even if I did. Greasy ass music made by greasy ass people

I really want to like David Bowie‘s music, I just need to get over his strange voice. Plus, the ambient music in this album was weird as hell

All the songs on this album sounded the same. It was a good sound, but I didn’t need to hear it for 33 minutes straight

Two and a half hours of music, you must be joking (the five songs I listened to were good tho)

Most songs kinda sound the same, like a soundtrack to an early 2000s computer game. But surprisingly, I kinda fucked with it

Very pleasant, I love this type of music. Fav: Goodbye Baby

Some of the lyrics were INSANE but 90s alt rock is my weakness

Perfectly fine music, nothing especially exciting

Babymaking music

Fleetwood Mac is a fantastic band that makes consistently solid music, it’s no Rumors but it’s still full of quality tunes

Literally laughed out loud at how ridiculous she sounded at times. I would’ve enjoyed this much more if she didn’t sing at all, the instrumentals sounded great tho

Had to put myself in the shoes of a teen in the early 2000s and I could see how this would hit back then, but obviously not my taste now

If I ignore how obnoxious his voice was, I actually had a bit of fun listening to this

Don’t usually like 80s synth pop but it was fun! Probably wouldn’t return to it but glad I listened

Just hooting and hollering, buncha noise for no reason. Only reason why this isn’t a 1/5 is bc #girlpower

Fire

Had it on in the background while I cooked and it made the vibe infinitely better

This rock was a little too hard for me

I always love when artists use a wide variety of instruments in their music, and the strings, horns, keys, and quirky electronic bits made this such a fun listen. Even some of the more experimental and weird songs were still interesting. Super ridiculous song titles but somehow still charming. Eclectic, melancholy, and beautiful 4.5/5 but I’ll round up because Spencer loves this album

Really tried to like it, some of the songs were fun but i just couldn’t get into it. Too glorpy perhaps

Surprisingly into this! Not gonna say it was super impressive or exciting, but I would’ve gotten down to this in the 80s

Cheesy 80s rock, but I’m into the cheese

Obviously great music even if reggae isn’t my usual jam. A little more annoying to listen to when I’m sober

Listened to this while sitting in traffic, lowkey just pissed me off more

Cursive ass voice

I’d be really enjoying the intro, then the singer starts yelling again and I’d have to fight to not skip to the next song. 3/5 bc I liked these instrumentals more than Lorde

Definitely better on the second listen. Sounded like it belonged on a 90s coming of age movie soundtrack

Super fun, but minus one point because no song needs to be 12+ minutes long, let along every song on the album

Got a bad headache in the middle of listening, but despite it causing me genuine pain this album’s still great. An angrier, more dramatic Norah Jones

I’m not sure Alex Turner’s voice is for me, mans is just so fookin british

Bowie’s shit has always been too weird for me, but something about this album (except the first two songs) resonated with me. A lot of hauntingly beautiful instrumentals and effects used, plus I teared up at the last song. Maybe I get it now

Nothing especially terrible, nothing especially impressive. Nice that the album was only 35 minutes

Fun as fuck, I’m not hitting salsa music very often and clearly I’m missing out

A lot less abrasive than I was expecting, definitely kept me awake on my drive to work this morning. High 3

Yeah obviously it’s iconic, but two Metallica albums in one week, both listened to before 8 am, means I’m kinda burned out on thrash metal

Yeah obviously

Most punk albums would be a 1 or 2, so this being a 3 is actually a big compliment

Songs went on too long and it all started to sound the same after a while, but still really charming. Makes me wanna go to a jazz club!

I was expecting this to be worse, but it wasn’t that bad. High 3

I know I’m hitting 3s pretty often but I’m not wowed by this. Can’t rate above a 3 on principle because this man’s a sex criminal

I guess making good music that goes on for too long runs in the family

Horrible day, horrible music. Wish he was quadriplegic so he couldn’t have made this album

Elvis and I don’t really get along, but this wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting

Some bullshit a ren faire band would play and I’d throw my 20 dollar mead at them

Didn’t understand a word she said but it was still a vibe

I will be BEYOND shocked if Spencer doesn’t give this a 5 too

opening spotify at work while Rock the House was playing was a terrible idea

Not sure why a parade and a child needed to pass through the middle of the album but I’ll trust your judgement Astrud Gilberto

A couple of fun hits but for the most part just mildly entertaining

Somehow I didn’t hate it enough to give it a 1

Im unfortunately a Paul McCartney apologist so this was always gonna be a 5. Bluebird and No Words were especially wonderful

Was a solid four before the last song. I ain’t listening to all that. Happy for u tho, or sorry that happened

The first and third songs were so promising but it’s still such a shitass album

A relief to hear someone that actually knows how to play the sitar instead of a band of white hippies just plucking away at it

Thom Yorke I was unfamiliar with your game in this album. “Sail to the Moon” and “There, There” are beautiful, and “A Punch Up At A Wedding” is gonna be on loop for the next week. I must’ve gotten this mixed up with Amnesiac because I can’t believe I ever hated this album. Some weaker songs which make it lower than a 5, but it’s still a high 4. Not at all what I remembered!!

Fine, but got repetitive and annoying like halfway through

Listened to it with my mom and she was a big fan #lisaapproved

Sweet Life, Super Rich Kids, Crack Rock, Lost, Bad Religion, Pyramids, Pink Matter, Monks, like ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Frank Ocean please come back, I would pay an irresponsible amount of money to see you in concert

3.5

Feels like a record Spencer would have

Fun listen, fun album title. High 3

Obviously very iconic and it’s good I finally listened to it, but his voice was just a bit much. Awesome instrumentals and sound, but still just a high 3

I’d rather have actual cramps than listen to this again

Wish the background instrumentals were more interesting but this was still very cool

Some good funky soul, made my horrible commute to work much nicer

Somehow the exact length of my commute home, like it genuinely ended the second I pulled into my driveway. For that it gets a 5 (and because it was awesome)

Some of the instrumentals were cool but he was so dramatic bruh oh my god

Background music

I have a personal vendetta against Eric Clapton but this was still a 4 up until the last song, fuck you eric take my 3

I know shoegaze isn’t for everyone but I’m a fan

Hey at least I listened to all 15 minutes

Thom Yorke jumpscare

Billy Corgan you bald headed asshole, its so hard to convince people to listen to this music if you make the album two hours long

Genuinely made me nauseous listening to this

Slept in the car while this played but the parts I was awake for were cool

I forgot that shoegaze can be really boring sometimes

Like if the smiths were guests stars on steven universe

I’m just not there yet with prog rock

The instrumentals were awesome but I didn’t appreciate the middle-aged French man yapping about wanting to sleep with a child

The Sgt Pepper uniform stays ON

After hearing all the high praise big star gets, I expected this to knock my socks off. It was alright

Didn’t even care that I was late to work bc I got to listen to this on my drive

It’s simply ok

Really surprised myself by liking this. I think it caught me on the right day bc if I listened to it today, I’d probably hate it

Background music

Loud!! Not sure why Linkin park did it for me and not this

Instrumentals were great but god the vocals were so annoying

All sounded the same after a couple songs. Fun enough but isn’t really better than a 3

Musically and technically impressive, but sometimes sacrificed actually sounding good to the ear by trying to be unique. Mostly a fun listen though

Some really cool songs but 77 minutes of it started to drag on. And I know it’s a sign of the times, but a lot of sexist and homophobic lyrics that rubbed me the wrong way today

Beautiful and groovy and so very Spencer coded

Kinda cool, kinda grating. Lowest 3 possible

Pissed me off and bored me close to tears. Probably didn’t help that I listened to it while sitting in the worst traffic ever

Better than I was expecting but you’ve gotta be joking with that almost 15 minute song

It was gonna be a two, but then the album was in my dream last night so I think that’s the universe telling me it should at least be a three

Not gonna revisit this but I liked it. 4.5 rounded down

George’s eyes on the cover haunt me but damn it’s a good album

Yes Morrissey is annoying and a lot of the songs end up kinda sounding the same but I will admit, they are an iconic band

Rebellious middle class teenager music

Booooo tomato tomato

The whole thing, I think is shit

If I wanted to listen to a musical, I would have

Felt like gorillaz x harry styles and i was very into it

Quite calming

High four

Good stuff

I’m a sucker for some crooning

Such an obnoxious voice

Liked it more than I expected

Gonna be honest, had no idea his voice sounded like that

Mid

-1 point for that one moaning intro

Can’t say I loved this

Dirty Work and Brooklyn my beloveds

Boy put the harmonica down and pick up a vocal coach

I think I’m a Beck fan now? 4.5

Very pleasant listen

Started great then just got lowkey stressful

Good but sounded the same after a while

Accidentally rated the last REM album a 5 when I meant to click 4 because this album deserves a 5 much more

Elvis is the worst part of all these songs

Smooooooooth

Pretty long but a great listen

High 3 but not exciting enough to be a 4

Fine

Didn’t think I’d ever become such a fan of the beach boys but they have a way of growing on you

3.5 but I suppose I’ll round up

I still don’t love his voice but I can’t justify taking a point away when everything else on this album is that good

Yeah no

David Bowie I loved your work in Shrek 2

Quirky and fun

Annoying

Weird shit, had to listen to some other Pink Floyd songs to cleanse my palate after

I’m so picky with my singers’ voices but Joni Mitchell has such a special one

Bowie said it best, he has a voice like sand and glue

My favorite part about this was the moths on the cover

Songs too dang long but they rock

Its a Nick Drake summer and we’re just getting started

Fun music but his voice just doesn’t do it for me!!

A bit samey but they get a point bc I love a girl group

I love violent misogyny and domestic violence, I’m so glad he rapped about it the entire album!

Obviously a 5, everything I heard was fantastic

Simple music but quite pleasant

Genuinely one of the most polished and near perfect albums on this list (other than Fitter Happier, not sure that song even counts). It was my most listened to album of last year and Let Down is one of my favorite songs of all time, this was always gonna be a 5 from me. Literally did jump squats out of excitement when we got this album

I have no idea what to make of this
