1001 Albums Summary

Great album and a true classic! Loved it since I was fourteen. It shaped me then - and it still hits hard.

A very lovely album, great instrumentals. Sets the mood fantastically - even in the deepest darkest winter I was able to feel like it's a sunny summer's day. Such a carefree, happy mood. However, reggae is not really my jam and while I really love to hear an occasional song, listening to the whole album all at once felt like it lasts and lasts for too long as the songs are so similar to each other. I'd rate it 4 stars for musicality, lightness and freshness it packs if I was more unbiased by my own tastes, but for my very personal enjoyment it's more like 3 stars. Still a fun and lovely listen!

A true classic. A very cohesive, moody album that is very rewarding to listen. It's been a long time since I listened to a Radiohead album from start to finish - I used to, but eventually I just picked the songs I like the most. In this case, there are so many great ones for me - The Wolf at the Door, There There, We Suck Young Blood, 2+2=5... I'm absolutely glad I revisited Hail to the Thief in all its melancholic glory.

Not something I would put myself on voluntarily as it's not really my thing, but it's a fun and easy listen. Funk is inherently a fun and instrumentals-focused genre, and I had fun and I enjoyed the instrumental parts.

Oh my, I'm so happy to get this here! One of my favourite albums, and among Metallica's greatest - and they have lots of great albums. Love every minute of it. True classic.

It's actually a very fun album to listen to!

Oh wow, this is amazing! Such a fun album. So glad this came up and I was able to listen to it and to fall in love with it.

Oh my, I used to listen to this album so much at school! A very cozy album for me, lots of great memories. To me Dire Straits is quintessential background music - but I mean it in the best way as it just fits, just like an old cozy sweater.

Was actually quite good. Unfortunately, I was busy the whole day and couldn't give it the most proper attention and just had it on background while doing other things, so I can't comment on lyrics or anything in particular, but sonically it felt like a good punk album. Might take a closer listen again later.

Oh my, my second favourite PJ Harvey's album!!! (My biggest favourite is To Bring You My Love and my third favourite is Uh Huh Her, both unfortunately NOT in this list. Shame, shame, shame. My biggest reccomendations to listen to these too if you liked this one!) Honestly, I think this is probably her best album. It all sounds so fresh, so cohesive and never boring. Every song is superb. Storytelling is great. I just love this album so much and for so long.

Oh boy. I mean, I get it. The whole premise is very ambitious and kinda brilliant. But the execution is subpar, and the outcome is this very bloated almost three hour ordeal with the most annoying music, infuriating production and unfinished songs sung by people who can't really sing. I guess it's not unexpected that I found the whole thing very grating on my nerves. I mean, alright, some tunes were kinda cute and some lyrics were kinda funny, but those cute and fun parts just drown in the sea of the most annoying music I have listened to lately. Had it been shorter, I would have given this 2 stars. Maybe even 3 for those rare flashes of brilliance and humour. But the whole album felt like 2 hours and 45 minutes of torture to me. My first 1 star rating.

Actually quite good. At some point I forgot that I'm specifically listening to the album and just vibed with it.

Interesting album, important messages. Lots of collaborators. I liked the slightly jazzy beat. Alright, Momma and The Blacker the Berry were standouts for me. Mortal Man in the end really ties the album together.

There are hits here. Overall a very fine music with the ability to summon chill vibes and the heat of summer to your home.

Ohhh, that's a great classic album! Love it

I do enjoy post punk, and I did enjoy this album, too.

Nice and easy listening.

It's alright, not the best reggae I ever heard, but sounds nice enough to listen to.

A fun and fresh listen! They sound something like The Rolling Stones meets Kiss, and also I can hear how influential The Dolls should have been to the whole post punk scene. I found the album enjoyable.

You can say it's overplayed, you can say it's overrated, but it's such a good album - and it did not get old!

A classic that started so much. I don't personally enjoy this too much but I really respect it.

I actually have a thing for 60s classic rock. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and the final 20 minutes song that was full of guitar, drums and even sax solos was a blast.

Haven't listened to drum and bass for quite a while, and that's a good album. Quite nice as background music!

Very nice to listen to and instantly danceable - it's fun! And it's also very well made instrumentally, too.

A perfectly listenable rock album, and I do love rock music, so I cannot give it less than 3 stars - and yet, it's such a generic rock album I cannot give it more than 3 stars. I liked the songs where they tried to sound like Nirvana and disliked the more mellow, ballad-like songs of theirs. Get Free was the standout of the album for me, apparently it is the biggest hit from Highly Evolved, and I'm not surprised. Overall - really not bad, at times even good, but I won't be seeking for more.

I really liked it musically and lyrically, but could not connect with the vocals. Maybe I would need more time with this album.

I absolutely love this album!

I quite like the old school rock. Good instrumentals!

Oh, I have listened to this a lot back at school - on a CD! A really good album, and to me - quite a nostalgic one. It was such a pleasure to listen to it all from front to back again. A really strong poprock album.
