1001 Albums Summary

Fun and jolly but unfortunately too whimsy at times for me

I'm shocked at how good this was i was not expecting it to be so stacked with bangers. Definitely the best of the 7(!!!!!) albums I've listened to today

Roundabout is so iconic and i think it was a great choice to start and end the album with it. I actually preferred the rough mix. So far I would even say this was the most enjoyable listening experience. There wasn't a single second I was bored or didn't like. It's really hard for me to pick my favourite... I also love the huge contrast in track lengths (like a 1:40 song followed by an 8 minute one). I think the juxtaposition adds a lot to both.

I liked the overall listening experience. I actually preferred the lesser known songs to the ones I've heard before. My favourite was exit

Surprised me a lot because I didn't think I would like this very much. It was good to listen to but only a couple of songs I will listen to again.

Ugh disappointed because I liked this for the first half an hour and then... yeah. I hated the stupid ape noises the vocalist kept making, which I think is epitomised in 'do it better'. I genuinely started laughing because it was so awful. For the second half of the album I was seriously struggling to keep going but it wouldn't be a proper rating if I hadn't. 2 hours is way too long for an album anyway...

I like the overall vibe and the instrumentals and the long form few lyrics songs, only complaint is the last song felt a little unnecessary

I wouldn't normally think this was my type of music but I really enjoyed it. The drums were particularly good

All of the songs blurred into one and it was just like a wall of sound which I did not like

Oh dear me. If I had to summarise this listening experience it would be by saying that this made me understand why my mum hates jazz. I really did like the piano and drums amd the overall rhythms of a lot of songs, but it was ruined by that godforsaken mosquito screeching of a trumpet. I genuinely felt like i was in a trumpet-induced psychosis at one point. The constant talking also didn't help. I will say though that I can appreciate that this is a live album and had I experienced it myself I would probably have loved it

Very very very solid album I will listen to lots of the songs again

surprisingly enjoyable for the genre

It was good background music + I liked the instrumentals

Some hits and some misses, maybe too many nothing burger songs that detract from the really good ones. Also are the first few songs just about stalking someone or...

My least favourite bit was the vocals tbh. The songs were also a bit too short so I couldn't quite get into them.

I thought this would be great but it did not meet expectations. I don't normally pay that much attention to lyrics but I found that half the ones I was hearing were so... I'm giving this a 3 not in a neutral way but in a completely torn way. That said I think I will come to a conclusive strong opinion on this when I give it a relisten. So the rating is definitely subject to change

I really loved the guitar. To the extent that on some songs the vocals felt almost unnecessary. Unfortunately some of the songs blurred together and didn't do much for me hence the 3

Started off well and then lulled a bit in the middle. My favourite song was 'vein melter', I think if the vibe had been more like that throughout I would've loved it. Not to say this wasn't good to listen to but that's the only song I will definitely come back to.
