1001 Albums Summary

#1/1089 --------- One of the best thrash albums to ever exist, and the album that managed to get metal into the mainstream. It also sounds good even to this day. Favorites: Master of Puppets, Welcome Home (Sanitarium) Least favorites: Orion, Battery Rating (out of 10): 9/10

#2/1089 ------ Favorites: Young Americans, Fame Least favorites: Across The Universe, Right Rating (out of 10): 8/10

#3/1089 --------- It's definitely great for its time. I love the saxophone work in this record, and it's a jazz style i have never heard before. My biggest complaint with this is that it's not very... distinct, sound-wise. Most of the songs are very similar between each other. Favorites: Desafinado, Bahia Least favorites: Samba dees days, Samba de uma nota so Rating (out of 10): 7.5/10

#4/1089 --------- Since I loved Stevie Wonder's work I had expected to like this as much since it's around the same genre but it seems not. It kind of feels like every song is trying to be the same. Favorites: Just for a Thrill, It Had To Be You Least favorites: Deed I Do, Alexander's Ragtime Band Rating (out of 10): 7/10

Favorites: Mother and Child Reunion, Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard Least favorites: Armistice Day, Paranoia Blues Rating (out of 10): 7.5/10

Two good songs, and the rest are fillers. I don't understand the hype for Meat Loaf i'm sorry Favorites: All Revved Up with No Place to Go, Paradise by the Dashboard Light Least favorites: You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth, For Crying Out Loud Rating (out of 10): 6.5/10

I came in expecting something pretty decent, came out with one of my favorite albums of all time. MJ is the goat! Favorites: Off The Wall, I Can't Help It Least favorites: Burn This Disco Out, Get on the Floor Rating (out of 10): 9.5/10

Favorites: L.A Woman, Hyacinth House Least favorites: Riders On The Storm, Cars Hiss By My Window Rating (out of 10): 8/10

Mediocre at best. The vocals are pretty annoying in my opinion and it's really just a snoozefest. Favorites: The Fairest Of The Seasons, Winter Song Least favorites: It Was A Pleasure Then, Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams Rating (out of 10): 5.5/10

Pretty boring if you ask me. Favorites: Baby Please Don't Go, Goodbye Newport Blues Least favorites: Got My Mojo Working Pt. 1, Got My Mojo Working Pt. 2 Rating (out of 10): 6.5/10

Favorites: Believe, Cuando Canto Least favorites: Who's To Blame, Ya Viene el Sol Rating (out of 10): 5/10

"Queen of Denmark" is John Grant's debut album, dabbling in Folk Pop/Piano Rock with some mild Electronic influences. It mostly tells a story about a man who is suffering from drug abuse, struggling with his self-esteem and accepting his sexuality, and many failed relationships. The key thing you can take from this record is the over-exaggerated dark humor lyrics, most probably resembling a breakdown. Some note-worthy songs lyric-wise are "Jesus Hates Faggots" which is about his family feeding him religious propaganda and anti-homosexuality messages, and "Silver Platter Club" which is also about the lack of embracing "masculinity", or at least what the common media calls masculinity. Now when it comes to quality, the first 3 songs take the cake. After that there isn't as much quality apart from a few songs like Chicken Bones, JHF and the self-titled track. I also don't enjoy when he starts using autotune to determine his voice, I personally feel like the unedited voice is better. Overall, this is a good record which I recommend if you are the target audience, which is why i'm a feeling a decent 7 on this album. Rating (out of 10): 7.5/10
