1001 Albums Summary

Several bangers on this one.

No thank you!

6/10

It's a great feeling when a band you've tried to listen to for years just clicks. What an album.

Well this just shot up to the top of my rotation. Incredibly creative sampling, flows perfectly from beginning to end, and just so much fun. Favorite tracks are hard to pick based off first listen when it's such a cohesive whole, but Frontier Psychriatist stood out.

8/10

I like Bonnie's voice but these songs are pretty bland. Favorite song: Nick of Time

Was nice enough background For driving.

good god

Really wonderful. I was only familiar with Son of a Preacher Man before but the whole album is full of beautiful tracks like it. Other favorites are Just A Little Lovin', Breakfast in Bed, The Windmills of Your Mind.

The acoustic-heavy back half drags this down just a bit but man that first half rocks. Every song from Immigrant Song to Out of The Tiles is killer.

This is perfectly fine. Queen has been one of those "like and respect but don't love" bands for me, this album didn't change that.

Crisp production and decent performances but these songs are very forgettable. Favorite track was Get Free I guess?

6/10 Had my head nodding throughout. Some catchy grooves and I enjoy the prominent bass in the mix, but nothing wowed me here. Just a solid rock record. Favs: Tighten Up, The Only One

4/10 You really feel every one of those 90 minutes.

5/10

7/10 Good songwriting, and Beck is very good at creating an intimate and warm sound on his music.

2/10 Nothing really works here. A sleepy, uninspired bunch of songs with a weird kind of Bowie imitation on top with the vocals.

This one didn't get me into French rap, sorry to say. A few decent beats though. 4/10

4/10 It was silly and fun for the first few songs, but really fell off with that last track.

6/10 It's Elvis. What's there to say.

It's a bit of a mess. The old thrashier songs needed serious reworking to fit the orchestra, but there's glimpses of a cool thing in the post-Black Album material. I had fun watching the DVD, but don't think I'll be returning to this. 5/10

It's a little dated, and repetitive even for the genre. But it's still a vibe. 6/10

Swell.

It feels like Steely Dan-lite, but I like Steely Dan so it's still smooth listening. Just nothing that really stuck with me. I'll put on Aja instead.

This was a rollercoaster. My feelings ranged from weirded out and delighted to bored almost from song to song.

This is Rush perfected.

A nice, cozy blanket of a recording.

The weekend starts here.

Good riffs, good playing, terrible vocals.

Rock musicals still very much not my thing but this one's not bad.

It's just fun.

I'm slowly going through their catalog and starting to realize that I might really like The Beatles. This one's not my favorite but there's good stuff here.

It's fun. Björk's style of singing doesn't always work for me but she's on fire here.

School is a strong start that the album doesn't live up to.

Sounds good. I just don't really care for it.

Perfect Day is a great song.

Holds up.

There are many better versions of this.

It's an album that just makes my day better when I hear it. One of my favorites.

That was a weird mess. Not entirely without its charms though.

Beautiful album. Melancholic and sad but not overly so, soulful singing and playing. Loved it.

It's a good time.

Vibrant and fun, sounds great. Every track didn't hit on first listen but there were a few high points, like Hypocritical Kiss and Weep Themselves To Sleep.

Let Me Entertain You is a 3, Angels is whatever, rest is horrible.

This was okay. I like the concept better than the execution.

Pleasant but not terribly interesting. Some cool rhythmic ideas.

Smashing Pumpkins is 2/2 so far with 5-star albums. Just fantastic rock albums.

Nothing terribly unique going on here compositionally but I enjoyed the moods and sounds. Felt long at 1hr.

Lovely playing.

The dual vocals don't match well. The guitars are repetitive. l'm all for minimalist pop that's not crazy overproduced but this is dull.

This 2001 reissue is a weird collection but these are still mostly great songs.

It does the damn thing.

Janis elevates the material here. The covers were the highlights.

It's no Dire Straits (1978). Money for Nothing and Brothers in Arms still bangers though.

I found the first half almost impenetrable on first listen, with the exception of "Heroes" which is great. The ambient second half was cool and spooky.

Huge childhood album for me. Might be Maiden's most consistently good album, only one weaker track in the bunch (22 Acacia Avenue), but doesn't reach their best heights. Clive Burr on fire here.

Fun album. I like the song where he just lists James Bond movies.

Lots of different influences going on which could be messy but they keep it together. Very catchy and lively.

It's just kinda annoying.

Good ass blues.

Started off really disliking the first few songs but it won me over by the end.

Way too long for being this repetitive.

It's bad!

Probably a 2,5. It's the most I've liked a Stones album, which is to say not much, but there's progress.

Delightful.

Pretty much perfect.

With so many tracks there are some misses for me but the highs are really high.

RIP Dolly

Pleasant, if a little bland.

Good vibes only.

yeah it's pretty good

Ehhhhhh

Almost a 5, just a few weaker tracks that held it back. But Shadowboxer, Never Is a Promise, Pale September and Carrion are really fantastic. It's wild how young she was when she wrote this, incredible debut.

Cool as hell.

Groovy and fun

It's not great but the hits still hit what can I say

Has one of the all-time great bangers and five other pretty good songs.

I kinda vibe with it

It's just so good. Funky, jazzy, emotional, great synths, all incredibly well crafted.

That Mrs. Robinson cover is great.

Worse Oasis. So, so boring.

YE-HEAHH
