1001 Albums Summary

An album I I respect more than I could casually enjoy, very intentionally layered. My standouts: Alright, Momma, Complexion & How Much a Dollar Cost

Yumyumyum warm, hazy, early 2000s coded electronic. Love the mildly psychedelic groove. Extra love to Sexy Boy, Heath Ledger RIP ❤️My stanouts: All

hear you, sad boy. A little too down for me overall, but I really did enjoy the depth in the lyrics. If you like melancholy vibes with poetic lyrics and also feeling a bit grey even on a sunny day, this one’s for you. My standouts: LA, somebody that I used to Know & Easy Way Out.

Super fun, funky, and fast-paced..pure energy. Had to skip the drum solo for my nervous system. My standouts: All

90s baby here 🙋🏻‍♀️ It feels very 80s, but not in a fun, nostalgic, pop radio way. It feels more like “this was your everyday album at the time.” Like how we casually listen to modern albums now this was that album … just in the 80s. And that specific kind of 80s vibe just isn’t really my thing. It’s an album that clearly mattered, I’m just not the audience it was made for.

It feels like the kind of album I would’ve been obsessed with if I were a teenager in the mid 90s sexy, a little grungy, and in between alt rock and pop. My standout: Stupid Girl, Supervixen

I was honestly really excited to listen to this because Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova have absolutely stood the test of time for me I’ve basically been casually listening to them for almost 25 years at this point. But as a full album this leaned more straight up Brit rock than my personal taste, and I could really hear the heavy Beatles influence throughout, which I think is why the rest didn’t totally land for me. I also swear Oasis knew they struck gold with Wonderwall because a few other tracks have that same dreamy string vibe and I kept thinking, “wait… is this Wonderwall?” Overall, this felt more like a greatest hits listen than an album I’d return to front to back. My standouts: Wonderwall, Champagne Supernova, Talk Tonight

There’s a nostalgia here for a time I never lived (I’m a ’90s baby), but this album completely transported me like I could’ve existed in that era. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere has that lazy 70s hanging-out energy. Standouts: Cinnamon Girl, Down by the River, Cowgirl in the Sand, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

The first half of Play is better.. gospel samples, nostalgia, late night movie montage energy. The second half… I’m bored. It turns into ambient background music and I start skipping. Which is funny because the songs that actually I liked (“Memory Gospel”, “Sunday”) aren’t even on the real album. They’re from the Complete Recordings. So yeah, I love the idea of Play more than Play itself.

Not for me.

4 for the music + bonus point for performance.

Every song is fast car. Insane vocals.
