1001 Albums Summary

Left me wanting more Good songwriting and lyricism but tends to be repetitive Many songs didn’t catch my ear

I like the use of synths They build cool ambient space The guy has a nice voice The songwriting is nice too Very warm Great project but I don’t see how it’s one of the greatest albums ever but it is solid

You can feel the energy through the speaker It just makes you wanna get up and move The songs toward the end go on a bit long The grooves are nuts The blueprint

Interesting sound Good jams on here I could see people dancing to this in the 80s I wouldn’t have listened to this if it wasn’t for this site but it’s good to expand the taste

Beautiful from front to back One of the best vocalists and creatives of our time Excellent songwriting—he pains pictures with his lyrics One of my favorite albums of all time

One of the most beautiful and emotional albums I’ve ever heard She has such a distinctive singing voice and the instrumentation is grand

Well I mean it’s the Beatles My favorite band and one of the first albums I ever went out and bought with my own money, but over the years I’ve come to favor albums like Revolver and Let It Be over it. Iconic songs amongst some half baked ones. A classic—essential listening

Solid project Roundabout is a feat of music and the rest of the album doesn’t really reach the same heights that song does Feels like a bunch of pretty good or ok songs sandwiched between two prog rock masterpieces

I can see why people like them The catchier songs I found myself liking and jamming with more than the heavier ones Not too bad

Goes a bit long but it hits Cool blues rock and soulful vocals Excellent guitar work Can definitely see why it’s a classic

There’s some cool songs but it didn’t sweep me off my feet Trouble seeing how they’re considered one of the Greatest bands ever Jack White has a nice voice

A bunch of goats jamming for almost two hours Not songs I’d go back to often cause of the length but I’m glad I listened to this One of the first jazz fusion albums — cool funk grooves

Cool ideas but didn’t keep my attention

Had some cool moments but didn’t keep my attention

I can see why it’s influential Distinctive sound and I like the guitar work Kind of wears thin by the end We Will Fall is too long and sounds out of place

I mean, it’s Prince He’s my favorite artist and this is his weirdest album Songs go long but the grooves are excellent and his musicianship is excellent Not my favorite album by him but a brilliant work nonetheless

Solid project Inviting songwriting and a good first impression of the band

I can see why it’s important Sounds ahead of its time sonically Some cool songs but I’d rather listen to the shoegaze stuff this album helped inspire

Great dance music High energy and unique sounding If I heard this in the club it would get me to move

I just couldn’t connect with it

Solid gold big band jazz Enjoyable the whole way through but the songs can get repetitive

Unexpectedly cool There’s some cool songs on here - tracks 6 and 8 I’m glad I got to learn more about this guy

Some fun songs on here Essential listening for a hip hop fan The lyrics are hella misogynistic though

Unique sound Some cool ideas on here and some standout tracks

Lovely, soulful album Her voice reminds me of Joni Warm and comforting

There’s some really cool songs and sounds on here but some just go on far too long This album doesn’t need to be over an hour long I like it though it really picks up in the second half

Rock solid jazz album Some really cool pockets and the bassist is excellent All of them are locked in

Most of the album didn’t stand out to me The last 4 songs are cool though I never knew he made Praise You I’ve been hearing that song for years

Brilliant album One of my favorite albums of the classic period I love Stevie

Solid jazz Didn’t rope me in as much as other jazz albums have though

This rocks I like the lead singer’s voice Really nice pockets on here this goes hard

Kinda average I think I prefer Paul’s solo stuff more A few cool songs on here

It’s pretty alright I slept through the whole thing but it wasn’t bad

Some good tracks and cool ideas on here Some songs kind of drift past but Move Any Mountain is a banger

A little too long but it wasn’t a bad listen Kind of forgettable Some cool songs on here

I can see why people love it Her voice is kinda crazy but the songwriting is memorable

Brilliant album Deserving of the flowers it receives and the story behind it is riveting I like more songs from the Self Titled

Love Steely Dan My second favorite band Great debut but they’ve made better

It’s one of the best albums I’ve ever heard and one of my favorite albums of all time This turned them into goats

He’s excellent Titular song and Maxine have been some of my favorites for a while

The culmination of their career as a duo Some of the best songwriting I’ve heard

Good debut Establish themselves as a solid band and Chris Martin as a good lead singer and songwriter

It really is one of the best produced albums you’ll ever hear Sparkling clean and masterfully performed from start to finish Might just be their best work

One of my favorite albums of all time Warm and comforting listen Their songwriting here is so charming and unique compared to their other work You can hear how this sets the stage for the way they further branch out their sound by the time they get to Bridge Over Troubled Water America is one of my favorite songs ever

Quintessential Jazz album A bunch of goats all on the same project it’s bound to be good

One of the most well crafted albums ever made with one of the strongest tracklists ever constructed All 10 songs are so strong they could have all been singles Pop perfection This is the blueprint

A really joyful album The band he plays with is incredible

Solid album They still do great things as a band on this project but I prefer ‘In Search Of’

What a cool album Not what I expected it to sound like at all Once In a Lifetime is such a fun song and I love the experimentations with funk on The Great Curve and Crosseyed and Painless
