1001 Albums Summary

This is the Beatles. Obviously it should be a 5* album right? But knowing what was to come makes some of these early covers not quite live up to expectations. Still a great album with so much potential ahead of these lads from Liverpool

Not sure I knew much of Sade beyond Smooth Operator but this album of smooth jazz went down smooth. Glad I got introduced to her more than the one hit.

I really only knew Lou Reed from the Trainspotting soundtrack which had “Perfect Day.” This concept album made me realize he’s not that good of a singer (do concept albums not do second takes?).

I’m all for finding new music but is it sad that for Venom - Black Metal I’m unsure which is the band and which is the album? Quite possibly the longest hour ever and an audacious start of this project for me... For most of the album I wondered if this site allowed ratings lower than 1* but there were one or two songs that weren’t horrible so I guess 1* will do…

Not sure if the long drawn out pauses between songs are intentional or a bad version on Amazon Music. It is what Eno claimed—as ignorable as it is interesting (at least the first half). Listened to this for the last hour of the workday and not really sure I’d be able to pick it out of an ambient music lineup…

I was actually kinda surprised I didn’t already own this album but all I seem to have is Rearviewmirror and Vs. They debuted with some great songs here overall.

Listened to this but absorbed nothing. Music sounded ok but not anything I loved or would think of revisiting. I’ve already forgotten the name of the album/band.
