1001 Albums Summary

Clever lyrics, didn’t love the beats, some repetitive themes about struggling with fame, wildly homophobic

Pumps me up in the gym. Not a huge fan of Axls voice.

Some good songs, calming but repetitive

Love this album

Meh

Easy 5 stars

One of my favorite live albums

Fun album

Actually enjoyed this album more than I thought I would

Fun listen but not their best work

Some talented musicians but really not my style

Enjoyed as a bluegrass fan despite NGDB being a bit of a bubblegum bluegrass band. Once saw them live at a free concert at the state fair so I’m going to be a little generous with the rating

Some catchy songs but not on the same level as Random Access Memories

I was listening to this while running and one of my earbuds died after the first song, but I enjoyed what I could hear. Was between a 3 and 4

Rare that an album has such a good concept and execution. Haven’t listed to this in a while and really enjoyed it

Psycho killer is an all time great but the rest of the album leaves me wanting a little more. Psycho killer bumps it to a 4

Really well done

Some very cool songs but a bit much at times

Only half of the album was available for me on Spotify for some reason. Great voice, didn’t love the arrangements

Some great music obviously but fuck Roger Waters

Another Bowie Banger. I do prefer Ziggy Stardust however

Nothing wrong with it but it didn’t really grab me

Some cool songs but I don’t think I’m the right audience for this

Very creative and well done

Not a lot of albums where anger is the prevailing emotion. Cathartic. Some good beats and lyrics as well

This is a 3.5 for me. Enjoyed the second half of the album more than the first half. It’s solid but not a lot of memorable songs a day after listening

Doesn’t get much better than Mark Knopfler on guitar

I don’t hate Zeppelin but they’ve just never really done it for me

Some cool stuff in there but also a little disorganized and muddy

It was fine but unremarkable

A few songs that I like a lot but it’s still Coldplay so I can only rate it so high

Not my favorite iteration of this genre

Not my favorite queen album but Freddy is still great

Great writing, songs are really well put together. Enjoyed this one

Was dreading having to listen to this but it was more fun and better than expected

Loving the old school rap albums

I remember listening to this on repeat in the 9th grade. Still hits

Automatic 5 stars. Some of the best song writing ever

Didn’t do it for me

Really fun album

Really enjoyed this. Good vibes

Great album. Especially as a warmup to the Bad Bunny halftime show

I just can’t with U2

Did not enjoy quite as much as the last OutKast album

Some really cool songs and then some others that should have been left on the cutting room floor

Some powerful stuff here. Emotion really comes through. Nicely done

Such a classic and fun to listen to

Some cool shredding but not really my jam

Rush always reminds me of I Love You Man

Great album. Very creative. Brings back good memories

Love Caribbean/afro style jazz. Very find and unpretentious

Did not listen to this bullshit

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Reminds me of an earlier version of the avalanches

Interesting album. Some good songs, some cheesy songs, some aggressive songs. Not quite sure what to make of it

Started strong, but many of these songs were somewhat forgettable. Props for taking on such a big project. Did not listen to the whole thing

Now this is some synth noodling

Great song writing as always from these two. America is one of my favorite songs of all time

Music for pickup truck commercials and montages in cheesy sports movies. We’re supposed to pretend this is good because they have long beards or something

Quite forgettable

Always love the duke

Surprisingly very fun. Some bangers on this album

This was great. Really playing within himself

Decent but forgettable

Ice cube did a better version of this. The skits got a little tedious as well

I mean it’s Jimi

I don’t know. It was fine I guess but pretty forgettable

Love The Band and love this album. Easy 5 stars for me

Finally got a blues album. Lot of soul here

Hadn’t listened to this whole album before but I really enjoyed it

Pretty fun album

One of the best voices ever and pretty decent writing

Ehh this was kind of lame

This was a tough listen. Like bad British circus music

I made some similar songs on garage band in 9th grade

Some cool songs and influences from a lot of different genres. But a little sloppy

This was fine but not memorable

Pretty tough to get through

Love Johnny Cash but it’s tough when legends put out music 30 years past their prime

Not for me. I don’t get it. It’s just noise

This was actually pretty fun. Much better than expected

Not my favorites album of theirs but still solid

Nothing wrong with it but it didn’t really get me going

A little like psychedelic Beatles

This was great. Love the strokes

Some of the best song writing ever

Still holds up. It’s so pleasant on the ears. Like a sound bath or something

There is some nostalgia with these songs being in movie montages but I cannot actually enjoy listening to this hot garbage

This album gets me hyped

Pretty fun album

Started out pretty interesting. Some unique sounds. But got annoying by the end

So smooth

Never been a huge Green Day fan but I did enjoy this

Super upbeat fun album. Some real bangers in there

Some very cool punk grooves. Really tight for a debut album

Great vibes

Pretty lackluster other than message in a bottle

Obviously this is pure garbage musically. But in a hilarious way. Which is what earned the second star

Not my top Arcade Fire album but still enjoyed thoroughly. Very recognizable sound and good writing

Coldplay is always so meh to me

Such good vibes. Good writing, great jams.

Some interesting and unique sounds. Has a cool vibe but I’m not sure I’m the target audience for Icelandic post rock

Pretty boring. Just kind of became background music for me

Some good writing but musically not my favorite

Nothing wrong with the music itself but it makes me feel like I’m in an Italian American restaurant with lots of pictures on the walls. About to be underwhelmed by a Caesar salad and overcooked spaghetti

Fun but unremarkable

Brilliant musically despite him being an insufferable douche

Too bubblegum and poppy for me. Just didn’t click

This was actually much better than anticipated but it’s still like a shitty white trash version of Allman Brothers

Not my favorite genre of music but these guys are the best at it

This was pretty fun

Not KOB but it’s still Miles

Tough listen. Bunch of noise

It’s not that I think it’s bad but LCD never really clicks for me

This was pretty cool. Guy has some talent

This was both goofy and pretty good. Enjoyable listen but probably not something I would return to

Rod is a good time

A true classic. Such good grooves

I really enjoyed this. Great energy

Love Arcade Fire despite the win butler induced eye rolls

There is some very good writing here but the earnestness is way over the top

It’s fine I guess

It’s Jimi

Had never listened to this all the way through. Modern country has fallen a long way from this

Great energy. Thoroughly enjoyed

The combo of Leonard Cohen’s voice/writing and this music is hilarious in a great way

Back to back LC. Writing is just so good

Great voice but that’s about it

Good writing, great beats and a lot of fun

Some fun songs but not a lot of substance

Not really my style of music but damn they’re good

Really interesting and cool compositions. Very creative

There were some cool arrangements but overall it didn’t really grab me

This album had a great energy and was really fun to listen to

Iconic instrumentals but I’m taking a star off because they’re in so many commercials

Thought I was going to hate this but it turned out to be more enjoyable than I thought

This got me going

The music is awesome and so is his stage presence. He’s the King

Peak song writing. Just need to get past Art’s yodeling

A lot of hit and miss. More misses

Solid album

All time great album

I hate the fuckin eagles man. In all seriousness it’s cheesy but not that bad.

Talented musicians for sure but I just can’t get into Yes. Voice is annoying too

This was cool

The who have always been meh to me

I have to be in the mood to enjoy Brian Eno. It’s like when a funky restaurant is trying to “challenge” your pallet. Wasn’t in the mood this time

This was unfortunate

Monk killing it as always

Some fun songs in here but not much substance

Cool vibes. Enjoyed this

Didn’t get much from this

Did not love this song ne

Kind of boring

Easy five stars. So many hits on one album

Tight album musically. Really enjoyed these vibes

I like the pixies but this isn’t their best work IMO

I know this was new and interesting at some point but I’m not sure it holds up. Lyrics are simple and juvenile

This genre just doesn’t do it for me

This is was not bad. Better than expected. Not exactly groundbreaking though

Started out with a couple of bangers but trailed off pretty hard after

Not exactly my style but very creative and engaging

Haven’t listened to this since high school. Holds up

Pretty interesting combination of styles. I enjoyed this

Overall really solid. Imagine is still one of the most overrated songs ever

What a fun album. Really enjoyed this

This was merely fine. Not her best stuff

Easy 5 stars. One of my favorite albums. Own this on vinyl and have seen them live. Killer harmonies

Another Nick Drake banger. So underrated

This was some pretty lame reggae

I love this album and this style of western music. Pairs great with Lonesome Dove

Love how they can be funny/sarcastic and then serious and it doesn’t feel forced

He is so goofy but the songwriting is great

This was pretty hit and miss. Some good writing but sometimes it felt like they were trying too hard to be ironic/alt

Pretty fun although I have no idea what they’re saying

Here we go. Much better than the last Kate Bush album

Had no idea all these hits were from the same album. Killer

I cannot do U2

Good writing, solid music

I’ve always felt that The Who were wildly overrated. The was fine though

Great writing, great musically. Powerful stuff. Love War on Drugs

Didn’t stand out

Sad! In all seriousness he’s a good writer but it’s a bit much at times

Wikipedia calls this genre ‘noise rock’ which is hilariously apt. I could not get through it. Why does this album exist? Why does this genre exist?

This was so silly

I enjoyed this but it got a little repetitive

Really enjoyed this. Great mashup of styles. Sometimes this type of stuff gets sloppy but this is really tight

Smoooooth

Absolute legend and genius. Such a fun listen

His music is a caricature and not something I would reach for, but I’ll give some credit for having this many hits on one album

This was awesome. Such a party

This was awesome. Had no idea the rest of this album was that good

All time classic, easy 5

Ehhhh

Hopefully we’re done with Pink Floyd albums after this

If I wanted to listen to construction noises I could just open my window

Background music

I know they’re not for everyone but I fucking love steely Dan

Haven’t listened to these guys in forever. A bit too cute at times but I still enjoyed it quite a bit

I think you could get AI to make something pretty similar with a couple good prompts

I always enjoy T. Rex but they never blow me away
