1001 Albums Summary

I already had listened to a few The Cure songs (Boys Don’t Cry, Let’s Go to Bed), so I’m somewhat familiar with them ish. Plainsong - long instrumental beginning, dreamy and a bit whimsical lol Pictures of you - also very long song, still enjoyable and a little groovy, I feel like it could be in an 80s teen romcom movie or smth Closedown - long intro lol, dramatic, the deeper percussion is a nice touch Love song - I like how it’s more upbeat compared to the other songs, the little guitar riffs are sick af Last dance - sounds a bit similar to the other songs a lil bit 🤷‍♀️ Lullaby - I had listened to this song so lowkey biased but I really like this one :P, the strings and the plucking in the background is a really nice touch, also Spider-Man Fascination street - sounds like lullaby but more hardcore 🤘, I like the percussions pauses to let the guitar have a moment, just overall enjoyable Prayers for rain - kinda reminds me of Prince idk why, a lot slower, nice break from the faster songs The same deep water as you - a bit similar to prayers for rain, REALLLLY long but still sounds good, melodramatic kinda Disintegration - also sounds a bit like of the other upbeat songs a little bit Homesick - the chords are nice, dramatic in a way Untitled - ok accordion, still a bit similar but the accordion was a nice surprise #accordion OVERALL: the songs were verrrrryyyy long with long instrumental intros, which sometimes went for a bit too long, but I rlly liked the tone and vibe, very 80s obvi with a little mystery and spookiness sprinkled in. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5

I have no idea who this band is or any songs from them. 🤷‍♀️ P-funk - I was lowkey expecting a synthy electronic album, but I was very surprised that it was funk, no doubt it’s very funky. Was a bit long ngl Mothership connection - lowkey just sounded like the other song, doesn’t rlly grow or change at all Unfunky UFO - sounded extra funky idk how that was possible, but also started sounding repetitive after a bit Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication - same note as the others 🥀🥀 Handcuffs - same note again and again 🥀🥀🥀🥀 Give up the funk - ok deep voice, was lowkey starting to be promising, but still became repetitive 😬 Night of the thumpasorus people - thank god it’s done oh lord Overall - ok I’m not sure if it’s because of this particular album or if I’m just not a big funk fan, but I found this album to be very repetitive. Each song was just the same beat and lyrics repeating lowkey, it didn’t grow change or grow or do anything 🤷‍♀️ ⭐️⭐️/ 5

I already had listened to a few of their songs (Sexy Boy, and Playground Love and High school lover from the Virgin Suicides soundtrack) so I’m somewhat familiar with their music. La femme d’argent - nice slow, groovy number, I like the little electronic sci-fi effects sprinkled in there, it is a wee bit long tho ngl Sexy boy - LOOOVEE, love the weird gravelly sound at the start, rlly rlly like all the details in this one, the guitar, the ‘ooo’, the wowowow, so gooood All I need - the vocals are a nice touch from the mostly instrumental songs before, more chill Kelly watch the stars - ok beat drop, rlly like the autotuned vocals, reminds of Daft Punk a little bit, also sci fi sounds lol 😛, like how this is a bit more upbeat Talisman - a lil mysterious 👀, oooh I like that it picks up the beat later and slowly builds Remember - autotuned voice again eat, nice softer song to balance out You make it easy - ok voice, lowkey feels a bit flat compared to the other songs, doesn’t rlly stand out to me 🤷‍♀️ Ce matin-la - rlly chill in a nice way, love the strings later on, holy moley, just sounds nice to listen to New star in the sky - also just a rlly nice listen, I was walking while listening to this so I wasn’t FULLLYYY paying attention lol Le voyage de Penelope - actually love, a little groovy, I rlly like the wowowowowows and the flutter things, really cool OVERALL: all of the electronic details are so goooood, just makes the listen even more interesting, it all flowed really well together, and the occasional vocals were nice to keep the album interesting, I rlly enjoyed it 😛 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5

I’m somewhat familiar with the White Stripes from a few of their songs (Fell in love with a girl, seven nation army, we’re gonna be friends), so I’m not going in completely blind. 😛 Dead leaves and the dirty ground - strong start, like the instruments getting ready in the beginning, good rock sound Hotel yorba - more upbeat, sounds fun 😛 kinda sounds like a muppets song or smth Im finding it harder to be a gentleman - reminds of the pixies a little bit, I think the voice maybe 🤷‍♀️ Fell in Iove with a girl - already knew this one but I still like it, short and sweet but still rlly catchy Expecting - more heavy and slower which was a nice change Little room - veryyyyy short, very simple tho, just drums and voice The union forever - a little mysterious, I like the synths in the background, it rlly does sound like the pixie’s damn, I like the break in the middle, adds a nice breather 😛 The same boy you’ve always known - classic rock kinda sound, was gonna say this doesn’t speak to me as much but then the guitar solo interrupted me rude We’re going to be friends - I already knew this from Napoleon Dynamite, which is one of the best movies ever, so not biased but this song is rlly sweet and comforting to listen to Offend in every way - this one was still good but didn’t stand out to me as much 🤷‍♀️ I think I smell a rat - now he sounds like Jeff Buckley at the start, #shapeshifter Aluminum - ok experimental, lowkey like it, completely instrumental except for some aahhhhs in the back, but it’s kinda a vibe I can’t wait - lowkey Now Mary - these 4 songs I can learn - kinda blended This protector - into each other (or I wasn’t rlly paying attention 🤷‍♀️) OVERALL: there were lots of songs, but they were all quite short so it made up for it, sometimes they flowed together rlly well that you couldn’t tell that the song changed 🤷‍♀️, the style and vocals lowkey reminded me of the pixies a lot (I like the pixies 😛). Rather enjoyed this album if I do say so meself ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5

I don’t know who Phil Spector is, but I know Christmas songs cuz who doesn’t 🤷‍♀️ It was cool to hear the songs from the 60s and to be able to hear that 60s sound through the songs. I liked the Ronettes songs the most 😛 Then again, they are just Christmas songs, so they’re not my fave to begin with, but still a decent Christmas album 🤷‍♀️ ⭐️⭐️.5 / 5

I haven’t heard any songs from this band, but I have seen the album cover a lot. 21st century schiztoid man - holy moley what a strong start, ok this is great, I love the drums and clarinet (I think 🤷‍♀️) and all of the switches in the song, I thought it drag because of how long it is, but it didn’t at all I talk to the wind - rlly like the vocals and the tone, very soft and pleasant, ok flute solo, ok bass solo, this is just a really nice listen 😛, ok flute solo part 2 Epitaph - nice soft start ish, looove the build with the drums and vocals, ok yearning, YES CRESCENDO, lowkey getting medieval now 👑, the clarinets are back, love the drum fills near the end, this is so good what the heck Moon child - oh my 12mins long, the soft start is nice, now they’re smashing their instruments randomly for a while, ok it’s not bad, but I feel it’s not as good as the other songs so far 🤷‍♀️ The court of the crimson king - this feels so grand (like a king🤴, a crimson king if you will🤴), THE FLUTE IS BACK, why did it go into an adventure time beat, ok we’re so back OVERALL: ok woah, this is album is rlly rlly good, I was worried that the songs being 7 to 12 mins long would drag on, but I didn’t have that issue at all. Except for moonchild, which got a lil experimental and just wasn’t my fave, all of the songs are sooooo good, and I understand why this album is so influential. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/ 5
