1001 Albums Summary

Let me roll is, a song I knew, but not the name of it, half "slow bangers" half plucky dittys. Sounds like a different band every song Last track is great, seems to be the most non Paul track. The reprise at the end got old, felt like this album ran out of steam a bit

So many slappers! Big time - new fav I guess PG did sledgehammer first? Strong all the way.

Yes dude Peak offspring, 3 classic bangers on here in : come out and play, self esteem, genocide, gotta get away. This album is 32 years old .. but incredibly applicable still today, as most punk is the struggle persist. I knew this was going to feel modern with the current federal occupation of MPLS. Bad habit still hits so hard. Combat anthems Few perky/ skaish silly, classic offspring tracks Still kinda fresh. Great album for what it's trying to be, it knows what it is and rips it.

Amazing vocal range

Fuck yes Amazing again how applicable this is, fighting the exact same fight 30 years later. I'll always be amazed that this was perceived by the right the way it was, hmm

Gosh I kinda get it but mostly don't. I can hear the English bean and the clash in there somewhere but feel like I'm missing the point/ significance here. I see the groundwork for some great English bands in here but is seems very surface level. Feels like the safe/BBC version of what was actually happening.... Maybe I don't have a personal connection/ like the wrong football team or something. Just nothing I found really that moving. But ya can hear some of the downstairs impacts of this.

What a fun pool of vibes, one rif jazz? Album is 2hr long so can't do the whole thing but love the concept, think I caught some common samples in there. For what it is I found it rather interesting Song names somehow really match the vibe of the songs only using a few notes generally I'll be damned if this ant Alan Sparhawk's favorite album lol, just get lost in the sound and sometimes annoyed. 4

Damn fun, Totally a sort of bridge/ mix of a few things album, it rips tho. Sacred love recorded over the prison phone is wild/ amazing... What a sound, lots going on here, gets into a bit more of a hair metal vibe but I can see the door open to some good trash/ heavy metal. Track "I against I' is the slapper, most punk, then the rest of it kinda drifts away from that style, first 3 tracks fuck 4

Some of the best original songs ever made of this puppy. Stunning. Spun this on the was to the ski hill in Vermont.

Ok we a bit back, could be working on a 4+ here if this stays this fun. So many songs on this one that I very much love. So much more ruckus than I remember lol hell yeah.. Fuck it, 5. This shit so awesome and some of my favorites.

Probably more important/ better than 4 but was in an awful headspace for this at the time. Trying to fly home from Boston in the snow storm

Didn't really listen, come back to someday, did half of it,

Kinda dig the spaced out vibe but I'm not really seeing the need to go 4 I really liked the vibe of it at the time just not really anything that stands out to me

Very beautiful lyrics and voice. Great album, rather chill, added one song to the list.

Short and sweet, hard to beat, loved it.

These lil french fuckers on to something here, likes this way more than I thought I would

Very much enjoying the smooth jazzy sba vibes. This is a great chilling/ work album. I'm way down with this, might go 5 here but probably 4. The Reggie basanova if fire

Honestly loved it, I get the hype,

It's fine/ good I remember feeling 3.5

This shit fresh What a vibe and sound, and still mixes it up. Probably a 5

I don't know man... Some gravely bob d here. I'll give the next dylan album a better shot

Expected to be like so fast loud and wall of sound, it's like boring and I don't know how to feel about it. The "rock singer voice" doing like so.much lifting. This is all so.much slower than I expected 2 right now. Just kinda amazingly un remarkable... This a 1 if not for the vibe

The birth of emo, can dig it, probably more of a 3.5 but going 4 for the vibes

Kinda strangely into this, country Neil Young/ jam band Neil Young? Would normally find this kind bland but it's speaking to me, 3.5 but going 4 on the record.

🦴🏯🦴🏯🦴🏯🦴🏯🦴

This is so fucking fire, how have I like never heard of this band at all? The first avalanches? Basically yes. An album so full of great samples it would be impossible to make today. Huge shame this album not on YTM 4+ out the gate Ya 4+ this was fun

I mean ya, smooth and out there reggae tone l don't know how to spell but added it to the chill work list, 4

Instant 5

Jazz jazzy, chill vibe was great for what I know about jazz (nothing)

It's no super fly

My God some of this is annoying lol, screeching for a whole song, fuckin come on. Child in time got to be one of the most annoying songs in history. This hard to listen to, one review said it was masturbatory and that's so fitting. Nothing.... Forever basic solo of something, "Rock lyric" , strum strum boring and annoying. The cheesy like Jaguar sound bit is a joke right? Lol Made it to "hard lovin man" turned it off, another awful song that seems like a joke. I get it, and even like other albums of that same style but found this just awful, my first 1?

What a lovely lil listen so far, Ya fluffy as all get up, I can dig it.

Kinda instant 5.... Honestly, listened to this last year and it hit even harder, this a big one for me but on re-spin not sure it's a 5... Wow This amazing

Great vibes, beautiful vocals

This is so much better then some similar albums from the era I have reviewed recently

Lovely creative lyrics. Jaunty and fresh

This was kinda sharp on a personal level, tribulations with relationships and love, hard topic. Well done great voice but kinda not wildly ground breaking.

Wow this is LOADED with classic bangers, they really only needed to make this one album lol, wow. Kinda got to be a 5, for the time so fuckin fun.

Kinda making me go insane trying to work and listen. It's nice but ya not for me I guess 3?

This was so fresh and different I love the freedom he was given on this album. You can just tell and feel he didn't change a thing for the studio. His appetite for "lovin" is just un-matched lolol. Absolute animal. The album also has crazy rang, funk, soul, hard rock, hip hop. Feels like an honest and true personal expression.

Even more down trotted then other I listened to, not much stood out but busy day. Sold 3

I'm digging it, so clever, cheeky Good mood, but really enjoyed 4

Very chill, krunbin inspirational

God i fuckin can't stand this lazy ass band, ACDC has always pissed me off for it's absolutely boring and shit lerycs and basic ass riffs. Always felt like this band is the pinecle or mass appeal, record company pipeline slop. ACDC are responsible for some of the worst/ most boring tracks of all time. Just slop built on slop- it's like they were given a book of "fun American phrases" and made songs as fast as possible in the topics, shoved them into popular culture. Aerosmith and ACDC are responsible for 90% of the songs on the classics rock radio station that made me turn it off instantly. These bands fall so soundly in my group of bands and songs that never healed up from this era, it was radio slop for a time this music was very popular, that's it, nothing more. This shit is only relevant because a single generation had never heard an electric guitar before. So fucking lazy and unremarkable. Like honestly how does one get more then 30 seconds into any of these songs and think "I need more of this or can't wait to see where this goes". Ugggg Like this is how all the songs were made: think of a phrase- sing it 10 times- fuck it electric guitar riff, Don't even get me started on how toxic the lerycs actually are too, so gross, 0 if it was possible

Well that was fun

Nice lil chill album, some of the riffs so classic I was thinking they were the start of modern songs. Nice chill classic country

This was really cool, such an interesting mix of vibes and feeling almost split down the middle with the old school reggaeton and some times slow trip hop, sometimes both! Rather enjoyed this

Fuckin fire, 5ish possible here. Ngl when I saw the band I was no thrilled but loved this top to bottom. Such emo, metric, dirty vibes, sinister almost. Very cool Also it's like all bangers and hits, I know like half the songs

Jam jazz, a freshman year at University classic. Kind fun, heard most of this before l. 3/4

Fuck idiom Rock. These fucking albums and this style of writing is so boring and insulting, I just don't get it. Think of an idiom or phrase, sing it 5 times maybe with another similar phase, some disjointed bs, some solo or rif, print money from the simpletons. This format is so common from this era and ya feels insulting to listen to. Like I'm supposed to marvel at the fact that you said "sick as dog, cat got your tongue" go fuck yourself pointless slop that thinks it's cleaver. Sick as a dog is one of the worst songs I've ever heard, like it actually is nothing but stang phrase lol. And just in general the vocals are so uninspiring, like other idiom rockers, just lean as hard as you can into your "rock voice" and say whatever. So dumb I was at 2 here just because track two has the slightest bit of diversity/ funk but by the end of this I'm so pissed off. 0 and I listened to the whole damn thing

Was a fun one for sure.

Fun lil thing this album, way more experimental and physically focused then I thought. Like only the last 3 songs have words and it sounds jaunty and kinda of the time, they almost like Beatles songs. Hmm interesting,3.5

Ok ok ok...

Glad I stuck this one out a bit, ended up being kinda interesting

I mean... Sad song lol Rather dark and down but some great artistry in here. The fully stripped back lyrics hit real hard

Gosh Arcade Fire you do it for me, holy. Suburbs is a 7 so this kinda has to be a 5.

Holy holy, this some crunchy , driving, dangerous electro? Wildly diverse in but very like dark most of the time Franky teardrop like fucked me up lol in some sort of way. Never heard of this and thought this was wild.

Something very familiar here with kinda Ben folds and Elvis Costello combo? Fun, snappy but easy listening vibe, hmmm I kinda liked it. Lil cheesy at times but kinda fits the vibe

I'm mean, ya super fun. Short set lol

I liked this more than I thought i would Few of these songs were written by Prince and the whole album kinda sounds like he produced it. Big fun vocals, snappy lyrics and vibe, into it

I mean style was chill but ya lyrics where troubling at times and mostly underwhelming

Was nice, lovely all around Maybe my mood but not a ton jumped out at me.

All time top 5 of 5s

It's exactly what it's trying to be and it's perfect at it. Also big iron is an all time classic. 5

Gosh didn't enjoy as much as I remember, few great tracks but kinda a little uninspiring this time.

So nice we spin it twice. Easy 5

This was a pleasant surprise, always kinda been mehhh oh this band and these songs. Have heard many of the songs on this before and they are fine, good even but kinda like mehhh. BUT listening to this full album gave me the vibe, perspective and context for the songs I've always just kinda heard every once in a while. They really elevate listening to them all together. Really great album on the whole. 4+

My vibe and 4+

4+ amazing. Best Willie?

Fine, eh

Low x bowie x U2? x other brit vibes? 3? Kinda came around to it near the end, more bowie-ish 4 by the end of this

I can dig it, good cloudy cold day for this. 3+?

Fun jams, yea, jammy

These albums around love trouble have been a bit tough on me at the start of this. This is kinda the best on yet. 3/4

Love that, actually honestly and raw. So fresh in comparison to the radio rock bands of this time 4+

Hmmm kinda in-between so many things it's almost nothing hhhmmmm, can't say I got a ton out of this. I see how it could be considered influential and game changing, just not really for me 2/3?

Ya rather good, feel like there is just so much music like this from this time. And ya I can dig it but can't find a 4 here with how much of this existed. Blues vibes kinda great for a chill work day. 3+

Was a bit hungover for this, wooooof. 3? For the vibe carrying?

Thank god

Glad I gave it a sec to come together 3++

Wow, thanks again

These old live albums so fun, just wish they were longer BB da only king

Not really I'm the mood, kinda listened, feel like I could have got more into it a different day. 3++?

Good times 4+ The vibe is perfect

Great country vibes, some hits 3.4

Fun snappy, my people

Kinda Doors-y ya know. I'm kinda Doors-y. Vibes super fun and chill and I just gave Abba a 4.....

Have you ever wanted to feel everything? I have, 5

Almost jazz at times, some great crunchy punk. Fug ya 4+

Ya tons of classics and sold vibe. Didn't really grab me, very much enjoyed. 3.8

This version of the kinks is a little jaggely for me.

4, liked this way more than I expected too. Note on Iggy pop last review, that should have been a 4, had to knock some off cus it kinda aged a little in the content

Loved this

Simply amazing voice range and everything

I'm trying hard with the neil young and still struggling to get there, like I get it but it just can't grab me, maybe a headspace issue

I mean this was fire, just don't ask meatloaf about his take on climate change but why do we care, also is he still alive?

Woof, ummm lots o slurs on this one, yikes

I loved this, punky, b52s kinda early puck vibes, this was a hidden gem.

Ahh such downtrodden beck, always kinda is but with a little more pep in the step. Though I knew this one when it came up but not really I guess, tracks as it would not have excited 13 year old me 3+

What a dreamy listen, loved this silkie smooth stuff

Very spicy and interesting, a whole album was a bit much maybe? But still very much enjoyed 3+

Put the first two tracks on then went into GATECREEPER mode, sure it's fine

Gosh ya great stuff, still holding my arcade fire 5 star for "suburbs" but this also great. Of my time, personal 4+

We really on a roll here this week

Thought this was a super nice work day vibe. Liked it more than I expected too 3+

Man this fucking rules. I could listen to 10 more albums. The vibes and groove is perfectly complimented by Janice Joplin's voice. 5+

So smooth, make 100 babies

Fuckin hell, free bird but also big racist yikes here

This rocked, like rocked, way more than I remember, great fun

Found this super enjoyable, my ADHD brain loved the variety, learning about the band I've only really heard of

Ok here we go, going in with an open heart and mind. Ok, super awesome, so dancy and fun. So much more approachable than I expected. Think I'm basing too much of my Bjork take on "oh so quiet". This album was not screechy and manic like I expected. 4+, 5? Such awesome and original sound even for today, loved it

Govs shall remember this one

Ok so ta emmy lou and this being released after his death might be carrying here... It's held as "a perfect fusion of rock and country" - it's all slow country ballad's except 1.5 songs (one rock a Billy mess), so like nah. The rest of it I also found rather unremarkable, underwhelming. Biggest song in the whole thing is a cover.... Like I'm sorry, this is a nothing burger without the context around it. Sounds harsh but if he was alive when it was released and Emmie Lou had a lesser career, would anyone know about this album? 2 covers......like honestly what is groundbreaking about this album?

This album absolutely rules from top to bottom! Kate bush, hounds of love Sooo good and original, had to just rate it the other day or this would pause, it's a 4+, not a 3

First full listen and wow, like I wanted to hate so much. I generally feel like what the world needs now is another folk singer ( on this list circa 65-75) like I need a hole in my head, but this was amazing. Probably 5 worthy 4++

Amazing stuff here 4+

Original and honest, dragy low trot

Context helped a lot here lol. interesting concept and great performance 3+

Kinda really enjoyed this jazz mix of things and vibes, in a great mood so that helps. 3+ for music +1 for vibes and mood brings us to 4 + here. But just kinda sounds like they had a good time making this and everyone got musical input? Just the vibe I get with it all being so different. A cohesive collective made this

Amazingly perfect music for a train ride on a sunny day.... With a lady who can't shut up in the next row over.. And this was exactly what was going down. Already like the vibe 4 for music and vibes. +1 for the perfect timing.

Really liked these poppy lil diddys

Loved these chilled out jazzy southwest vibes. Like having a glass of wine with a cactus

I had a rather good time with this one. Can't really remember what I liked about it even a few hrs later tho Re-listened, chilled out, stoner, vaudeville kyle kraft (good thing) Kinda also like if "catastrophe waitress" was a whole album (again, good thing) 4+

What a fucking blast, so fun, funny at times. Phife dog is great on this lol

I mean this not even really one sleeper on this... Listened on the way back from fishing, perfect vibe match

Agnes and his absolutely vibe factory is the only thing keeping this out the 1 bucket. Idiom Rock, sing the hook 3 times, rip a solo, so damn predictable every track. I knew it was gunna do this dang trick lol

So groovy smoooooooth, loved it, 4

oh hell yeah, sorry I'm advance to my friends and family, y'all gunna be hearing this a bit more. 5

Ehhhh, was kinda honest tho? I mean it did jam, Sean was right

Hmmm, kinda hard to get into, kinda performative vocals? Not my fav

Dude ya. This was a wonderful time listening to the full album for the first time. Janelle is such a dam treat. Her voice, her vibe, her voice (poetically) mix of style, honestly, passion, it's all so beautifully laid out in front of you. What an amazing journey of an album 5+

It's got yams, bobo, 5

Feel like I have a lot in common with this albums sentiment and that feels troubling.

So honestly this deluxe version of this album on YT music is like worse. The original album and length is perfect, the rest of this feels like it's just being milked, like you can almost here it in his voice in the performances. Interesting. That said ya this is an all timer for so many reasons. I think most of all just how honest it is. Such a pure expression of pain and love.

Kinda the a peer to green day? Slightly more metal and less jokey? But only slightly. Also fun

For sure some joe cocker vibes going on, he must have gotten that a bit... Update,more then just British joe cocker But some decent stuff in here, big muff is a bop. 3 +ish, bit too much easy listening tracks to kinda dilute it
