1001 Albums Summary

Kind of a January vibe

this fucks severely

kind of feels like... enya/celtic woman vibes but on coke? or like florence welch. on coke. great vibes though. 'cloudbursting' was a good one

hell yeah brother

she ANGRY fuck yeah

this mfer doesn't know how to sing

goopy, bouncy, creamy, dreamy, cunty

No thanks man

Some nice songs, but entirely too long and rather one-note.

CAT also just a lovely album in general. "Way Over Yonder" is beautiful and soothing

easy breezy beautiful

ohohohoho YES we funkin good tonight

every single "The Girl From Ipanema" cover is so good

Never heard of them before but that was very nice, loving the rhythm and swing

good punk fuck you music, just a little one-note across the album

after reading about what Brian Wilson was going through in his marriage and mental health at the time, this album is a bit darker than it sounds. still vibin tho

'sunshine superman' is great, but holy shit Donovan cool it with the fuckin sitar. I get it, you went to India and had a whole 'spiritual enlightenment' and you're friends with the fuckin Beatles and Bob goddamn Dylan. shut up

all covers, and a little much for a full album. Not bad, but the originals were better for the most part for a lot of these.

definition of mid

never heard of him, but that was surprisingly pleasant - like spoken word poetry set to music

yep that's dark side of the moon alright

jesus christ

i feel like i'm missing something here

ahh so nice

I can appreciate the cultural impact while also saying "this ain't for me"

only giving it two stars for Our House. the rest of this was incomprehensible.

damn that was fun

good god this whole album just oozes sex

If I HAVE to listen to a U2 album, this one isn't the worst

man's got a VOICE

A blend of irish folk, minstrel music, and another 60s bands that discovered the sitar and really shouldn't have. That said, there was a lot of variety here and the album certainly wasn't boring. Would I listen to it again? Probably not. Will I remember it? For the rest of my goddamn life.

I feel like I should have enjoyed this more than I did. A few standouts, but nothing really pulled me in. Felt like it was missing something.

I wanted to like this more than I did, but most of the music was pretty forgettable. Love and Affection was nice

out of all of lana's albums, why THIS one? It's such a nothing album.

Not for me. 70s version of "look how edgy I am" ('Bodies' is just stupid). I get the cultural context, sure, that doesn't mean it's good in 2026.

I enjoyed this more than most of the britpop on this list, but it did fall flat for the second half of the album.

good god, 'Soubour' is a fuckin BOP

What raucous fun!

Good, because it's Bowie, but... kind of lackluster? I think I'm definitely more of a Ziggy Stardust era fan.

Not bad, but nothing really stood out.

Had never heard of him before, but wow what beautiful soul/blues. Heard echoes of bill withers in there, incredible percussion. Truly a great album

"It's Tricky" and "Walk This Way" are certified bangers, but listening to the entire album was kind of exhausting.

way too long. So many songs just blend into one another. Not the worst, but overrated to me.

what

swamp rock at it's finest, so, four stars

fun, just not my cup of tea. First half was great, second half got a bit weird.

First half: oh nice, some funk and jazz and rock going on, cool experimental beats Second half: where am I. what's happening. the Void has taken me

fun ska, a rollickin good time, but probably not something I'll listen to again.

Oh that was a honky tonk good time

Holy funk

RAW

I really wanted this to be better than it was. Intro is obviously a banger, but the rest seemed to be missing something. I'm not knowledgeable enough in music theory to know what was missing, only that it felt like a soup without salt.

That was so much fun

Good, but that's a lot of synth pop. 'Romance Revisited' at the end of the remastered version was a refreshing touch.

very one-note, but god what a voice. wouldn't listen to this one again but would listen to her all day

not bad, but man that was way too long. Halve the time and it's perfect

this is not for me.

inoffensive and easy listening (with the exception of that awful Stand By Me cover). not bad, but unclear to me why it's on this list

classic

why is this on here?

Great listen, although the big band stuff can get a little much after a while

super fun folk

I quite like "where is the line"

god that was amazing

"I believe in a thing called love" and "friday night" are bangers, but an entire album of this is a bit much for a tuesday morning

i liked this a lot more than I expected. "Go It Alone" slaps

Pretty good! Too long, but I liked the overall vibe and found myself unexpectedly enjoying that Imagine cover

Would've been 3 stars, but that Under the Boardwalk cover was actually a crime.

One of the greatest

another brit-pop album featuring man who can't actually sing, saying absolutely nothing.

'Sea song' was an adventure. I appreciate something different and experimental

I get the influence and importance, but this genre is just not for me.

Not a big fan of live albums, but this one is pretty good. Made for good background music while working

beautiful jazz

Very intense

definitely would have loved this when it came out, and there are a few great hits on here

A little bit better than some of the other generic sounding brit pop/rock. The second half of the album contained some actual interesting songs. But it's a generous 3 stars

ohhh this FUCKS

fuck yeah

Soft four for the bangers, but the album overall is far too long

nice little groovy album of bangers. short and sweet

funky disco vibes, but a bit long winded and very same-y

Not my favorite Brucie, but still Brucie

Not a huge punk fan, or rather don't know too much about punk, but I found myself enjoying this more than I thought

good album and lots of bangers for sure, but you could really trim 2 minutes off of each song and it would be way cleaner

Second half took it to 4 stars for me. 'By the River' and 'Through Hollow Lands' really got me

Wow, that was super interesting!

Fine, except for that awful Born to Be Wild cover. Why??

not bad. His voice is the weakest part, but the overall vibe is fun

am I missing something? also what is it with these albums where it's a whiny dude who can't sing

Some beautiful sweet sad songs on here, but really dragged in the second half. Opening track was the best

Fine, it's The Who, but live albums just shouldn't be on this list imo

The Man Comes Around and Hurt are incredible, but there a lot of 'eh' covers on this. Trim it down a bit and it's much higher.

Loved the fun funk!

Not knowing the context of the album, it's hard to give a full fair review - but in a vacuum, it was a fun listen

I actually like coldplay, and Clocks and The Scientist were great, but I was really let down by the rest of this. Felt like a lot of filler.

a soft 4, like a 3.7. I give props to the 2112 saga, cool experimental vibe

I spent a lot of time debating my review for this, but I ultimately fell on the side of "10-20 years ago, I would've given this a three; today, I just do not have the patience for this kind of rhetoric." 'Kim' was so uncomfortable to listen to, a full hour plus of screaming about how much you don't give a fuck really does not convince me that you actually don't give a fuck, I truly do not understand the appeal of a full album of this. 'Stan' does still hit and some of the beats/production almost gave this 2 stars, but I'm gonna say no.

wow, i loved this

didn't age as well as I'd hoped. very corporate punk, almost?

Seven Nation Army is admittedly a banger, but the album really just has nowhere to go but down from there. Last track was a bit jarring.

I don't hate U2 as much as some people, but still not a huge fan.

RIP dolly. that aside, this music was lovely but also quite sad - the topics were depressing!

YAWN. this dude CANNOT sing

I really like Nick Drake thanks to this project, although this album was lesser of the two I've heard so far. Enjoyable but nothing stood out.

have definitely heard worse brit pop/punk on this project. solid 3

soft 3. i appreciate something that's not british pop/punk, but these songs got repetitive.

I mean, hell yeah

I'm sick of beatles-esque music. "Shanngri-La" made me want to throw something. Two just for Victoria

not bad, but pretty forgettable

"this is phone hold music" so? it still slaps

Wow, I liked that more than I expected

Opening track was beautiful. The rest was fine, but it really started to drag on. Would have been four stars if it was like 1/3 shorter.

SO LONG. It's inoffensive for the most part, but bro let's fucking WRAP IT UP

damn that was fun!

beautiful

"light my fire" should not be seven minutes long. a banger otherwise though

I wanted to like this more than I did. It was funky soul, but it seemed to get repetitive, and I'm not sure the vocals actually added much. It almost would've been better as an instrumental album. But, still a decent listen

oh HELL yeah

damn, never heard of this but that was fun!

I just fuckin hate his voice

what a crazy ride, my god. It was a fun listen in a "wtf is this guy gonna say next" kinda way, so I'm giving it a boost just for straight originality. That said, I probably won't listen again unless I need to laugh at "an ashtray as big as a fuckin really big brick" again

Just so many bangers

I enjoyed that much more than I thought I would. I typically don't like live albums, but the noodling of the blues was really nice to listen to while working. The vocals were kinda nothing, though.

god i hate 60's british music

why is this on here

A couple of good-ish songs, but holy shit his voice is annoying. The melodies and instrumentals are good, though.

a decent listen... if you ignore the lyrics
