1001 Albums Summary

Metallica by Metallica

I like Metallica, I can see the appeal of the album. It's a little too pop oriented for most of it and forgettable for the rest. It's no Master of Puppets!

Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths

I was always an '80s hater. And a Morrissey hater. He just always seemed so whiny. I saw him at a festival and he refused to play until every vendor quit serving meat. The worst type of person. That being said, the '80s have been growing on me lately and this album wasn't as much of a depressing slog as I thought it would be. Death of a Disco Dancer in particular I really enjoyed. Can't bring myself to go above a 3 though.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

Title track doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

This is a great album. Aggressive from beginning to end, it knows what it wants. There was really only one song ("Township Rebellion") where I thought "this is probably a skip." Solid 4/5.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.

Not quite my style but I can appreciate what they did for hip hop!

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra

Pretty swingin'!

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

I loved this album as a kid so it's probably higher than it should be on nostalgia alone.

Aja by Steely Dan

Groovy!

Blue Lines by Massive Attack

I didn't even wanna finish this album. Not for me.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Excellent album. I loved the jams!

Follow The Leader by Korn

Points for originality. And not taking itself too seriously.
