1001 Albums Summary

The rare perfect album. No notes.

I can see why it’s good. But it just isn’t my jam.

Very good, a bit long.

Too long and cacophonous.

Very good and better than expected.

Better than I remembered.

Surprisingly good.

Noodley and forgettable.

Good but nothing really memorable for me.

Meandering and boring.

Weird yet engaging and good. I can see how this has influenced Rammstein.

Good but I mostly just like the singles.

Solid all the way through.

🕺🪩💃🏻

I can see this influencing Tom Waits.

Really good. Lots of great songs.

This website sure loves noodley records.

Not as good as Folsom Prison.

Good, but not my thing.

Middling to ok.

Ok, but nothing that grabs me.

Started out meh, but got stronger throughout and ended up being very good.

Really excellent throughout.

Good but nothing memorable.

Better than expected.

Really good. EJ put out a solid album here.

Weather channel? Elevator? On hold? I don’t care. This whole album is tight.

Good, but I don't anticipate revisiting this.

Nice cozy vibes.

I like the soulful songs more than the big band songs.

Meh. Just not really into it.

Good 90s Brit pop.

Starts strong but overstays its welcome.

Better than I expected.

Pretty good. I prefer when the psychedelic albums have melodies and lyrics rather than endless noodling.

Better than I remembered.

Good, but little too dreamy and ethereal for my tastes.

I’ve loved this album for years.

Very good. Too bad Eric Clapton is a kooky anti-vaxxer.

Good but forgettable.

Disappointed in this one.

Quite good. Really enjoyed this one.

Vocals as layered as the most feathered hair of the 80s.

Hauntingly good.

Who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God? Trick question! Lemmy is God.

Today I learned Cat Steven’s did not sing Cats in the Cradle.

Loved the blues rock sound. Wished for more punk.

I worship at the altar of Kathleen Hanna.

Good but didn’t resonate with me.

The non-singles were better than I was anticipating.

So good. Some of my favorite Bowie songs here.

Enjoyable but not much that sticks with me.

It’s cheating for one album to have Sledgehammer, Big Time, and In Your Eyes.

Starts strong and fades into meh.

Good but nothing that sticks with me.

It felt a little too generic for my tastes.

Fun and enjoyable, but not my jam. I can tell they tried hard to get away from their early image.

Few albums are pure art. This is one of them. The transition between Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and With a Little Help From My Friends gives me chills every time.

Art does not exist in a vacuum. I don’t think you can objectively evaluate the music without considering the story it tells. And the story here is reprehensible. This album tells the story of a middle aged man raping a child. It’s a stain on this site to include it.

Good but forgettable.

Good except that one weird Mother song.

Makes me nostalgic for the late 90s and early 00s when big beat was huge.

Really good. Makes me want to explore the blues more.

12 songs in under 30 minutes is the punkest thing she could’ve done here.

Good background jazz but didn’t hit home with me.

I liked it a lot but I know this won’t be for everyone. It sounds very much like Trent Reznor’s film score work.

Perfectly cromulent.

Good but outstays its welcome. Would be much better with a tighter edit.

I liked this a lot. This era of punk is so important to the genre as a whole.

Good, but not as good as his big beat contemporaries.

Perfect as background music for a Parisian cafe. Nothing I really care to listen to purposefully.

It’s kind of amazing that some members of this band are responsible for “We Built This City.”

I don't understand nor enjoy free jazz. I don't think I ever will.

I don't listen to much R&B but this album is great. Soothing, soulful, comforting.

This album has stayed with me since college. Every song is good, if not great.

This is my favorite style of hip hop.

I wish I knew about Sleater-Kinney in high school. Such great 90s era punk.

Another high note from my high school years.

Very good if not great. A bit more depressing and somber than I typically care for.

Hadn’t heard this album from Costello before. Lots of good stuff but I need to give it a re-listen.

Quite comforting really.

It takes real skill and artistry to make the flute a viable rock n' roll instrument.

I listened to this band a lot in college and had somehow forgotten them. Great stuff and it is a real toe-tapper.

Better than Fela. Still not my preference though.

Good for a rock opera but too long for regular enjoyment.

At first glance this looks to be a goofy period piece, but it ended up being way better than I thought it would.

Ok. I wanted to like the more than I did.

Pretty bad really.

Not sure if I like this or Pure Heroine more. Regardless, it’s a very good record.

Surprised at how much I liked this. Definitely will be revisiting this one.

This album made me improve my opinion about Coldplay.

Weirdly smooth and fun to listen to.

So good and smooth. Jimmy Smith’s work is always a great listen.

If I grew up in the 60s and was on LSD, then I'd like this. But I didn't, and I'm not, so I don't.

I know I’m supposed to like this more but it just sounds like another band emulating The Beatles.

Ok but not for me.

A really great album.

Not into vocal warbles.

Unexpected, in a good way. Not my jam though.

When rock 'n' roll was cool, man.

Really smooth to listen to. Some songs sounded familiar.

Heavy Decemberists vibes with this one.

Boring with a capital B.

Cave's baritone voice is always a treat.

Quite good and lively.

Bleh

British hip hop is quite fun.

Really good and soothing as background music.

Really great and holds up well.

This is who Amy Winehouse wished she was.

What an incredible three song run at the opening.

That seamless segue between Tenement Funster, Flick of the Wrist, and Lily of the Valley is 😘👌.

Starts strong then begins to outstay its welcome.

Not as good as Folklore but still quite good.

Ambient music really does something for my mind. There is a way it manages to sooth my anxiety, quiet the noise, and lets me melt into the vibes and feelings in ways that few other music genres manage. It isn't for everyone, but it really works for me.
