1001 Albums Summary

3/5. the lyrics are kinda bad, but the instrumentation is strong. it’s very catchy - i can see why they were so ubiquitous in the 60s. it feels a little bit like listening to sunshine.

like it’s fine, good even. just not my vibe

i listened to this in a fugue state and that’s prob why i liked it so much

i have never wanted to be wife’s up making pancakes in my kitchen so bad

i enjoyed this greatly

this was incredible. i mean its aretha how could it not be.

this was very jaunty

i actually hated this

i liked it! it’s objectively good, not really my thing but i feel like it’d grow on me

there were a couple good songs but it felt like secret christian rock. also it dragged

i greatly enjoyed. get it on is one of my favorite songs of all time and there was great sonic cohesion throughout

super cool concept. it dragged in some parts, but the vocals were insane

started off really strong, then got weird

tiny dancer is arguably one of my fave songs of all time. but why did he open with it it was unfortunately all downhill from thete

ok funk

beep boop robot music

kinda just meh

kinda what i needed to hear today

yk i just don’t like metal

i’d actually listen to this again

the songs were cool but it was just the same 4 songs over and over

i was bored

i mean cmon this might be one of the greatest albums of all time

eh solid

I don't think I'm a prog rock girlie

like fine i guess

yk what hell yeah i enjoyed

i wanted to like this more than i did

honestly kinda sick, feels pretty modern and not at all 30years old

just kinda fine

hozier but make it dad rock

mmmmm peak male manipulator music!! 5 stars tho

this sounds like elevator music. elevator music from the elevator at calvin klein in the 90s, but elevator music

i remain confused why they picked this album over folklore. ngl when this originally came out i didn’t really get into it (i was inundated with the seemingly never-ceasing cash-grabby version-ication of taylor’s music and got bored), BUT listening to this now, there are some undeniable bangers on this album. don’t get me wrong, the lows are low (happiness, closure, willow even), but the highs (champagne problems, cowboy like me, evermore, etc) are REALLY high. “now you hang from my lips like the gardens of babylon // with boots beneath my bed, forever is the sweetest taunt” is an absolute bar. i still think folklore is probably the more culturally significant album in terms of changing the music landscape and popularizing more indie-folk sensibilities in the cultural zeitgeist, but maybe evermore is the better album?? is this my frontal lobe developing?

this is tracy chapman before tracy chapman was tracy chapman

spotify didn’t have it ://

best listened to on a rainy day

this sounds like a generic album from the 80s

honestly i really liked this

shout out ethel cain for priming me to sit through an 8 min song. jokes aside i enjoyed this greatly

bjork before bjork was bjork but tbh not my thing

i was vibing but i wouldn’t listen to again

vibey but the lyrics of anything goes rub me the wrong way

i’m not gonna lie, this sounded like that one snl skit of pete davidson and timothee chalamet where they’re rappers

this overstimulated me

could not listen

genuinely what was that

i hate prog rock

good but why do they enunciate like that

some very weird elements, but some really cool stuff as well

this is easily one of the best albums of all time. despite knowing basically all of the songs, shockingly, this was my first time listening to it in full. religious experience, may i say. my only qualm with this album is that silver springs isn’t on the OG, which i will never forgive lindsay buckingham for

lowk my favorite radiohead album ive listened to thus far on this list

definitely a very influential album, but not my taste and i probably wouldn’t listen again

i was waiting for it to be over the whole time

not sure o got the hype

i would not listen again

i was bored. and kind of annoyed

i am so deeply ambivalent

holy shit this was good

i love heroes but the rest of it was kinda meh

started out great and then dragged
