1001 Albums Summary

Ive had my Queen phase and heard a lot of their music, but listenin to this at full, top to bottom, it surprised me with some of the lesser known musics being really not what i would call Queeny...? But it was good nevertheless. Nice one. Good pretext to check this out.

Very nice experience, already have listened to this before, nice revisiting So grimm and dark oooof

Cool concept, but some songs are a bit gimmicky with the melodies, maybe not for me There are a lot of standouts, just some im on the fence with.

I miss the old kanye. Ahead of its time. Timeless. Lyrics are funny, versatile, deep. Just a really fun listen front to back.

4# even though i own a red hot tshirt for years and been into one of their concerts, i've never made a deep dive into them and heard this album. I just listened to californication and The Getaway at full. Was always a big fan but not all of the songs captivate me. They have a lot of bangers. What drives me to them is the catchiness of the vocals by Anthony Kiedis, the riffs and the whole feel to it, their carefree sound. About this album in specific. They rock, but a bit rough. Well, if the year that they made this is in consideration, than yeah, it's a wonderful feat. I can hear Rage against the machine here (Suck My Kiss), but they haven't released their first album yet so i guess they were inspired by this.

6# not the first time hearing it but good pretext to hear it again. dreamier than i remembered it to be. But it didnt amaze me, just some tracks are really good, but also it has nostalgia lingered to it so i dont really know.

7# nice, the first album that i dont know at all. Recorded in a single day? ok, interesting. Post-punk in 1979, when punk wasn't even already established? thats funny. After a quick search, the punk era started in the beginning of the 70s so im wrong. Thoughts about it: me like the sound of thiz, its fun, rebellious but with not much anger the sound of the drums is gud, but the rest sounds muffled Got tired of this quickly, the guitars are tiresome with the high pitched notes (I love Modest Mouse, so i'll just say this was not for me), i guess i was not in the mood for it. wont get a second chance though. If listening to one music its ok

8# CA BANGERALHO DE ALBUM this i already heard a whole lot and i love it to the bones. never dove into the lyrics, i'll try to do that this time (not much of a lyric guy).

my dad's playlist.

10# Besides kinds of blue (which i really like but i tend not to return to too often), i didn't heard much more from Miles Davis. The vibe: Cozy winter night at home reading some romance book with 112 pages.

11# Rucurucurucurucurucrucurucurucurucurucurucuru If you would let me know in advance that this would be the album for a valentines saturday and i have nothing to do i would've made the precautions and bought a kilogram of weed to trip balls to this. Never heard of this, i can only compare this with Strawberry fields by the beatles but rougher, or the doors without an audio engineer, or the kinks without catchy tunes. Ok, i can think of some comparisons. Why is someone always incantating something inside my ear, its not evil, neither is it good, their intentions are ambiguous. After watching the film Apocalypse Now, this fits really well. I tripped.. and fell 13th floors.

12# Prologue: Been a fan of Arcade Fire for a while but when I did know them I wasnt into hearing full albums, so, needless to say, never heard this album front to back, but i think this will be an experience and a good one, i wish. It was. The themes on this are very current ones today. "And it seems strange How we used to wait for letters to arrive But what's stranger still Is how something so small can keep you alive We used to wait We used to waste hours just walking around We used to wait All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown" Wasted lives.. maybe that were better ones, calm, without stress and needing of infinite stimulation. People had time to process things, be creative, fill the time with hard things that recompensate after a long period. The sound of it emanates calmness but at the same time a feeling of dread.

13# Heard this one before, but its always fun to return. Starting to feel like one day isn't enough for concept dense albums like The Suburbs from Arcade Fire, i didn't have the time to fully appreciate it, but that speaks on the quality of it. Fatboy Slim is an acquired taste from my dad, it brings nostalgia to my children days when i used to move like crazy to this music. I think all of the songs should be shorter because it repeats too much or to the middle end it tries to do something new and it doesn't stick. That's the biggest flaw in here, besides that, I'm constantly bumping my head.

13# Reminds me a lot of mission of burma. And then i went to hear Mission of Burma and forgot about Magazines. Magazines rely on weird arpeggios, its interesting and I like the sound of it. Good record for it to be the start of post punk. I guess I'll just like everything that is going to be thrown here. Noice.

15# Unpleasant Stop tuning your instruments and start playing. Jokes aside, this was really interesting and challenging. Frentic playing from all instruments, the intro starts with everything. The most punk or metal, jazz has ever sounded. Great. If they built the chaos up and didn't start bantering everything they got from the beginning of each song, it would be a pleasant experience, but i guess we have it somewhere else and it has a place.

16# I know a lot about Rod Stewart. Like that his name is Rod Stewart and he is a musician. Oh that's it. The first one that i found nothing special at all. It's ok blues, I like his raunchy smokey voice. The free jazz record (Spy vs Spy) from yesterday made a lasting impact that this is kilometers from making. Would play beautifully on the Turning Point USA show for sure. I dont know the political views of rod stewart but i imagine him being protrump, sry dud After a quick search he demanded an apology from Trump for something false he said about Nato, soo, yeah the contrary of what i imagined basically.

17# Prelude: Hmm interesting pull. I I've never seen this as an album but mostly as a single. Let's see if it holds up to the mainstream hit which i love. Listening:

18# really like this, it scratches my itch for alternative rock. This is playfull and fun, always doing something different, not repeting too much of the same structure, the songs evolve. Before hearing i read a lot of reviews saying this looked and is a mid album. I cant agree, maybe its because my roots are alt rock indie rock and this bangs on it

19# this is full of bangers

20# ABBA if they we're rockin instead of poppin. You have an album cover that looks like the most metalcore metal has ever been and then give clapping session in a middle of a song, what? Um, this is not for me, no no. It's teatrical... feels fake, premeditaded, like too calculated, previsible. Don't throw this kind of rock ballads to me. I like teatrical in projects like Black Midi's Hellfire, i don't have the words to describe what they do right, but they hit it like a needle in my butt, wait what? And I don't like to be that guy, but the mixing..? flat, i like my drums not that faraway of my ear. Listening to this at full was hard, geez

21# Prelistening: ig bruce is going to be bangin his way in a lot more times, cause this ain't his most recognized album by a big margin. I really don't have much of love nor hate for him, for me he has a good voice and yeah that's nice, good for him. listenin: generic rock. nah its not, this bangs, my expectations were low and we're met on Adam Raised a Cain. The theme of that song hits home, about (if we believe in christian teachings) living and suffering just because of a man that chose to betray God when manipulated. I had this realisation when they were teaching that story and I wept. well, the rest is between generic rock and entertaining rock. Im in, its a really good record. Not on my bingo card to start liking and listening to Bruce Springsteen on 2026

1001 albums to love or hate by hearing them before you die 22# DAMN I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I already had a deep dive into this album before, but any excuse to return to it is welcomed. Starting to realise the wikipedia resume of the albums doesn't help a thing. Not one reference to what the album is about or who is Anohni, which is important to appreciate this album more than just it's extraordinary vocals and instrumentation. That voice.. is wrecking, in the verge of falling apart from start to end but at the same time so controlled and passionate. I'd say my second favorite singer of all time, doesn't beat Nina Simone. Such a simple record in terms of instruments (acoustic and string oriented), but it carries so much emotion and has really high levitating moments, like on the end of the opener Hope there's someone. The pacing is extraordinary too. It never feels too much, gives you time to approach each song with its demanding themes. Now delving on the theme. What's it like to not feel at peace with your own body and the mental process to change it, I mean, your genre. I can't begin to imagine the pain of that, but in here it makes me understand a bit of it, in a beautiful open authentic empathic way. Not preachy at all. I have nostalgia attached to at least on of these songs, because my dad bought a song or two from this and used to play on his playlists. That factor helps to appreciate this even more, it's nice to come back to that place and time. Next thing I'm going to do is listen to their debut album. Let's see where they come from, to reach this beautiful accomplishment.

23# Its definitely a rock album from the 80s rocks? well yeah, not so much though

UUUUUUUUHHH i wanted to give the time to listen to this. So the that time has come. So they hit you full force with Roundabout and leave you hangin with quirky classical music. I'd hang out with the band integrants, they seem like fun. And they do it again... and again, quirky interlude after quirky interlude, we have bangers.

25# I like very much a lot of Belle and Sebastian and I think I've already listened to this. Lets see. This puts me at peace, such a nice cozy yet demanding of attention experience

26# Interesting pull, huge fan of David bowie last project Blackstar, but never had that kind of feeling towards another project by him, let's see if this sticks. Nothing to read, nothing to say, I'm blown away. Feel good psychedelic rock till the mid part, its up my alley, not in Berlin though. Warszawa.. IS beautiful.

27# Damn this is randomly giving me the artists I most love. Jorge Ben Jor is my favorite Brazilian artist. Didn't had the chance to listen to all of his projects, and this is one of them. My god what an ascending experience.

28# whimsical fairytale medieval feeling. unfortunately, won't have time to dissolve the poetry she's spittin, but it sounds sweet and very descriptive. That timbre is nice. i wish i'd listened to his while playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It would've propelled even further the immersion in the medieval age.

29# Not a single idea to what this will be, the hope real. This has energy, its clever on its lyrics on the opening track which is the best. Nothing much to add, didn't really have the time to hear it with much attention. That's the thing with an album a day, some won't have the amount of concentration that is deserved. I like the mood this leaves me in, gives me energy and motivation. The context about this being a hard rock band formed of black guys is interesting.

30# Beck has just got the immense style to pull this kinda beats. It's alt rock with beats? say what. How are you mixing drum beats with rock instrumentation and it sounds this good. and it keeps adding interesting instruments or sounds. Very nice listen while vacuuming the house. The production in this is crazy good. Almost every minute I'm hearing a new thing that is really satisfying in the ears, like in the simple track Broken Drums, it could've been just drums and guitar, but no, you're stroke with a whole environment of sounds, wow. There's always something far away happening. The final tracks aren't as powerful as the beginning and middle. Just a thought: Beck has a similar voice to the vocalist from Eels, love them both. Highlights: E-Pro; Girl; Black Tambourine; Broken Drum Skips: Hell Yes; Rental Car

31# Wow, now the band that invented music (/s) The Beatles must have a kink for playinf things just for one ear.

I'm young. I never listened to Tina Turner's songs besides the most commercial ones. Expected this to feel like the 80s and it does, feels old, but Tina's performance is grappin and the synths are kinda cool. Full on energetic from top to bottom.

Funny that i listened to this for the first time two weeks ago. What made me do it was, i really love some songs from Wilco and wanted to know them better. Dont think this is a good way to be presented to them

#34 i must've already stumbled upon The Temptations, cause im a big fan of funk, blues soul from the 70s, but i really dont remember a single song from them. Let's see if this makes a lasting impression. Another band that likes to mess with the stereo directions of the instruments. This made me think i had some problem with my headphones. It's full of finesse, sexyness (if thats a thing, im illiterate), love inducing. Very positive experience, the thing is that it's mostly similar to all the funk coming out at the time aside from Papa Was a Rolling Stone, but it's good nevertheless.

35# I just know two songs from Dusty Springfield, Spooky and Son of a Preacherman and i really like those tracks Solid record, her voice is sweet and soothing but nothing that's remarkable really has place. I like the recent remastered version, well produced, but please someone explain WHY is everyone so in love with putting instruments just on one side of my head.

36# ShabaraparadmAHH- Soo, I find the lyrics kind of annoying and preachy, although I agree with the message. I was actually surprised by the sound of it. Ignorance from my side, but I didn't know at all that Janets work we're so acclaimed, but now I know and understand why. This has energy funkiness and artistry. Some 80s sounding, but with a lot of experimental elements, so it doesn't really sound dated. That little scream in almost all of the songs is funny, that high pitched Aah- I don't need more interludes, thanks. At least they're off of the actual songs. The Lonely track is beautifully produced, with that flute on the back, wow.

37# reaction: damn. might be my favorite album of like um all time? maybe. review: hits like a mother when her son just finished painting what he thinks is his magnum opus on the bedroom wall with a pink plasticine. (this isn't necessarily based on true facts)

38# Love ray charles, this doesn't have his greatest hits, i guess i would prefer other compilation, but this is great for the year as chill as you can chill to be chilly with chilliness.

40# I wanted to like this but it was not hitting and the boom bap beats when i was listening with a headache were not good for them. I'll have to listen another time.

41#

43# i heard of cat stevens, but never got into an album of his. I think he will have more than one album in here, cause this isn't his most recognized one, right? nope just this album for cat stevens. Wasnt giving this much credit, but it's a solid record. Elton John type beat

44# UUUH first prince appearance cul cul cul Esse prince deixa sempre um gajo desconfortavel

45# B I G INDA HOUSE Great album

46# I'm so into it, i love the sound of this weird indian instrument. But if it was just that throughout the project it would get boring. The layers that this has make for a good trip and psychedelic experience.

47#

48# the names are of the songs are a bit too descriptive, minus 5 points. Insanely beautifull trip to illinois the city the state the country

49# AA another country album. (wait is this folk? huh) only today i learned that neil young is part of this band for the next albums of them. Cmon, have some imagination for a band name other than pilling up your names. I'll compare this with Harvest which was the album of the day 2 days ago. With just 3 years apart from them (Harvest is from 1972) the difference is big on the production. This project doesn't have the strong single power that Harvest has. Interesting harmonies, it sounds good throughout. The two albums differ in genre, this is Folk the other is Country Rock and I have difficulty showing appreciation for country, but Harvest just goes besides that bias and captures with the interesting lyrics and Neil iconic melodies. This album has a bit of iconic melodies or harmonies, but it doesn't have that lasting impact or memory. A few sleepy tracks (like Lady of the Island), which i like, meditative in a sense, but really puts you in a state of numbness and i don't think they want that. This album is good to play when: you want to sleep, not a deep sleep but a nap, a 40 minute nap. Highlights: Suite; Wooden Ships Lowlights: You don't have to cry

50# yeah metal finally (im not much of a metalhead but i'd like to get into it) never heard anything from Anthrax, but already heard the name somewhere.

51# Yesyeysyeys very good

52# Love elliot smith and im excited to hear this

53 Bonkering good for their debut Didnt eve knew that this album existed. I love some of them later work but this is almost equally good.

54# LE FREAK thats that

55# One of my favorite albums of all time is from Nick Drake, Pink Moon. But shamefully so, i never sat down to hear this one. Its nice to kinda be obliged to do it. Tender in the most depressing way. Beautiful besides all the sadness.

1001 albums to hear before you byrd with your brothers 57# At first I thought this was a beatles imitation but no, it has it's character. Pretty cool voice for a byrd. Kinda psychedelic, hitting the bare minimum to be called so.

58# Am... what? Personally I don't really like it, it's funny and in a specific African party i could dance to it. I can understand it being here. It's important to have characteristic music from all over the world and I find it interesting (I've already listened to this kind of music before so it is that new to me). In this kind of music the voice has to shine and the vocalist needs to give their heart, cause the rhythms are kind of always the same thing over and over. Won't say the vocalist does a good job nor a bad job, but I think the first track pretty much sums up the whole album. Really long, it speeds up at the end, vocalist goes kinda bonkers. End. I'll be that guy and say this could've been another African album. This is too calculated

59# Oh sim, o paulo simão bro even taps into reggae on 'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard' my guy in the middle of 'Everything Put Together Falls Apart' stops a bit to scratch his beard and continues like nothing happened. What a guy, absolute cine.. music. 'Run That Body Down' saved it from what i was thinking would be a boring album 'Armistice Day' that guitar playing goes kinda hard. 'Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard' oye como va RUliô? MPB sounds and all, this is so fun. 'Peace Like a River' whatever, too peaceful. 'Papa Hobo' oooh so sillyyy look at me, silly boy. 'Paranoia Blues' oh now i'm silly and paranoid, quirky me huehue. But it is a cool concept really. OH NO THEY STOLE HIS CHINESE CHIMICHURRAS Today i felt like making little comments for each track, i'm autistic like that.

1001 albums to hear before you some kusic produced by the neptunes 60# I feel like this is the Tribe called quest from the 2 thousands. Just some guys having fun trying out a new sound with difficult to catch inspirations. Pharrell, is this where he started? Cul start I feel like this should not sound this good. It almost sounds bad and quirky. I don't know how they do it but it ends up hitting

1001 albums to hear before you say the n word publicly and get killed by a gang 61# Boring if you're not paying attention to the lyrics, but when you're paying attention to the lyrics, it's kind of the same.. boring. Oh no he said the n word, cancel him. Oh but it is a satire, let him be. Oh but he is too comfortable saying it, cancel him. Oh but he has done toy story and monsters inc., let him be. Well it's an average satirical album from the 70s that I'd prefer not take the time to hear but not all albums will be worth of note

62# Chill, good grooves, good afternoon watching the sunset vibes, nothing too flamboyant, natural stylishness.

Very nice reggae joint that isn't the Police. Political importance

63# This must be the most recent album to be in this list and i don't understand why this. Not saying that this is bad, it isn't and I already liked it before, but i don't think it jas much relevance compared to other more powerful and inventive albums of that year for example

65# Mehhh don't do anything in particular for me but I have to acknowledge the quality of it

Gorillaz is kinda what life has to be. Fun.

The next is better

69# Tripping balls finesse at utmost level The use of space and stereo in this is amazing. It just doesn't click at few times. I'm missing that feeling of floating from this, which is why i won't give it a 5, but it pretty much is.

1001 albums to hear before you become a big star dust 70# So surprised this wasn't too of a pop rock album and more like a spacious ambient folk album with rock instrumentations. I already knew Big Star's hit song and wasn't expecting them to have this interesting sounds and arrangements up their sleeves. It feels so spacious and roams, dark at times clearly felt on the song Holocaust. They've mainly got quick songs and it didn't feel like they we're incomplete... well, maybe a bit, but the songs to culminate in something grandiose, it's just that feeling of melancholy and dread..? Kanga Roo feels like it's all falling apart. Find it interesting that the lyrics of it ('i first saw you, you had blue jeans, your eyes couldn't hide anything, i want you like a kanga roo') would feel so different in a pop rock ballad than on this sparce, erratic instrumentations, full of whining guitars and loose or slack drumming. It has some songs that don't connect though.

1001 albums to hear before you don't have a afterfuture 71# Sometimes it makes for a good experience. it's a shame that that just happens a few times during one hour. I admire the vision and some of the execution, but few songs sound complete and not like demos. I like the sound it is going for. But it kind of stops at that, it doesn't achieve greatness at what it's trying to do. Making a futuristic-esque hip hop concept album. I don't really like his rapping much and doesn't keep my attention for what his saying. On the last track Mike has the best performance but the instrumentals don't help out much

1001 albums to hear and say oh a country album again before you die 72# "I wanted to invent a modern classic." Kinda says it's not going to be that. And reading the Wikipedia article about this album, his label was only trying to help him out from not releasing a double album lol This is long with few to chew on. It's just agreeable music, no one will say this sounds bad or has bad production. Has it's merit, for the crisp production, backing vocals and instrumentation. Judging by it's cover, I'd have not liked this, calling it mid and just another throwaway country album, but Ryan has a good performance throughout and even though it isn't the most interesting thing in here by a kilometer (no miles here) it is a good chill ride.

1001 albums to hear before you get emo goth and make a satanic ritual 73# Been wanting to listen to this for a while, I'm glad I'll have to do it now. Love the cure, but besides of Songs of a lost world, Disintegration and some hits they have (well that's quite a start actually), i never listened to another album of them much. I guess the Songs of lost world is more of an experimentation and more spacious than what this will be. Ok, wow this was really the sound of their Songs of lost world but more despair to it, not just a trip to space, i was not expecting that. Spacious guitars that make you levitate. Repetitive long songs, almost drone. This is so depressing and it feels like it, but i find myself just happy for listening. I guess i feel happy with the despair of another man, whoops.

1001 albums to hear before you can't even murmur 74# Wasn't giving this much praise cause im not from the 80s so i dont have an immense love for R.E.M. and never quite heard them, unless it's the Losing my religion and that is a great song. I'll have the same discourse that I did for Bruce Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town. This is quite the surprise firstly for being their debut, and secondly for thinking this would be another rock album from the 80s with a lot of recognition but almost nothing to show, it isn't. Fun throughout, i understand the older generations rants about today's music. Too repetitive, too restrained, too produced, too.. commercialized. Great Hooks, cool riffs. It's just not my type of vibe I delve into inside the rock scene. wow some experimentation on the ninth track 9-9, one of the highlights. It's more unpredictable, and dynamic than the rest. For me it sounds like something i've heard before. Surprised but not impressed. Bruce is leading the way on the 80s run.

1001 albums to hear before you Schmilsson 75# Quirky Elton John. Really nice! I heard Gotta Get Up on a random Netflix show called Russian Doll with the concept of dying and returning to a point in time over and over, and this song appeared every time the character died. That summer I was hooked on it For it to be released on 1971, it's impressing what this man had to offer of pop at such an early stage. After listening to the R.E.M. album, this is much more up my alley than the jangle rock. But R.EM. was more consistent on making great passages and hooks. Some songs on this get lost on ideas that don't stick. I think this one has more character, it isn't afraid to sound weird.

1001 albums to hear before you start counting 2 + 2 = 5 and know that you're demented, or the government is controlling everything. 76# AMAZING The band that made me be a music nerd. yeah almost everyone has this past. We're all living our lives and as a collective mind we go through so many of the same experiences without recognizing. The thing that changes them is how we react. Radiohead album, of course it put me in a philosophical state. About the album.. yeah it's the weakest one that'll be on this list.. or is it? I love The Bends but this might be more of an interesting ride than the Bends with all those bangers. They we're established on this one and knew what to do and where is possible to go. I love this aesthetic they create. Lunatic overthrowing the government alien aesthetic its a way to describe it. It feels grand, beyond the limits of Earth. Love this a whole lot I rated this an 88 a long time ago without writing a review, and i stand by that.

1001 albums to hear before you die 77# yeah.. this isn't worth it. The mix is not good. I like the noisy parts, but it's all so muffled it's almost shoegaze without wanting to be. Good riffs, mid vocal performance. This feels Jack White vibes all over. Never listened to a full album of White stripes but i feel it'll be better than this. Even though i like the sound of the guitars and the guitar playing too. It's raw, loose, whiny.

1001 albums to hear before you get real damage 78# gimme hardcore punk me like SCREAMINNN This band was a staple on Hardcore punk making one of the most important albums to the genre beginnings. It's frantic, high paced, seems dumb but has meaning, like on Six Pack, appears to be just screaming six pack cause it's funny, the meaning being a person who isolated himself becoming drink addict and believing that a six pack will just save him, even the six pack has more value than his girlfriend lol. Don't become an alcoholic. The deliver is always kind of funny and full of energy DAMAGE, MY DAMAGE i would love to see minor threat have a place in the list, but i don't believe it

1001 albums to hear before you get to the wrong ghetto 79# I love the Low rider song of them, but that's what I know from them Listening to it, The world is a guetto track I already liked very much. A 10 minute track that repeats itself but never gets tiresome or samey, and it pretty much sums up what this album can do for 44 minutes with just 6 songs. A chill jam that has it's moments of catharsis and comes back smoothly to a laid back session with the boys. Vocalists voice is amazing, real smooth and the piling up of voices to make up a chorus help it so well.

1001 albums to hear before you chan chan 80# yes nostalgia because my dad used to play this a lot, and pretty good instrumentations and singing from well known Ibrahim Ferrer The recording and mixing in this is so satisfying This shows how music is so different form place to place in the world, it's not just america that makes art or entertainment.

1001 albums to hear before you hear the black angels death song 81# Context matters. A lot. And this album put in context, it's one of the most creative, even though Pet sounds we're already there, or Revolver. It's part of that revolution, for a weirder sound. For the ears of today, I don't think this stands with the aforementioned albums. (Not comparable at all) Midway through I started to get it and be in the vibe. This is so dreamy and trip inducing, the repetitions and the uncanny guitar solos..? Awesome

1001 albums to hear before you are (natty) d(r)ead 83# Not the banger Bob Marley accostumed me to with exodus but it's still nice and chill with a major hit dont cry

1001 albums to hear before you go to london and get murdered by some guy who listens to Central Cee 83# Hypnotizing guitars and his voice is just out of this world. This isn't their best album, but it's really good nevertheless. What a run of albums this was, Velvet underground then buena vista club, bob marley and now this. Don't have much more to say, other than this is creative for when it came out and clean production.

1001 albums to hear before you die for country reasons 84# sure.. another country digestible country album, with harmonicas and all. Weepy yey I feel that if this had Neil young or bob dylan name on the cover i'd give it at least more 10 points, just cause i'm influenceable like that. This is a nothing burger for me.
