1001 Albums Summary

I’ve known it as a general fact, but I’ve never heard how similar old metal/rock is to jazz until listening to this album. Neat.

First time I’ve ever listened to Bowie. Wish it was more of what he was known for and not the very blue-eyed, plastic soul sound that this album has. “Fame” was alright, wasn’t feeling the rest of it.

I went back to listen to Soundgarden's earlier work while waiting to post my review, since none of them are part of the 1001 albums. "Superunkown" is definitely different from their more raw, gritty sound that they originally had. And I think it's for the worst. "Black Hole Sun" is the defining hit on this album. I quite liked “4th of July” and “Half.” I might be unique in that though. Those songs aren’t on their compilation albums. The rest of "Superunknown" is.. fine? Safe maybe?

I love Depeche Mode. It was cool to hear one of the main bands that influenced them. Spooky punk. Nice.

I’m torn. There’s bits of this I liked. Other bits that were REALLY weird and out there. I respect what she did. Would I listen to it again, willingly or otherwise? Probably not

It feels like all the ingredients are there, but it’s missing the sauce. Was cool to hear where the “That’s 70s Show” theme came from though

I’ve been doing this listening daily thing for close to 2 weeks now. This has been my least favorite album, I didn’t even finish it. The music behind the man is fine. But I really dislike the way Bob Dylan sings

I love Queen so much. The loose Fantasy themes mixed with the band’s early rock stylings and beginnings of their signature dense vocal harmonies is *chef’s kiss.* Queen will just continue to getting more awesome moving forward.

Country is my absolute least favorite genre. I gave it 3 tracks, then stopped listening. Didn't want to waste half an hour of my time

I was a monkey stealing honey from a swarm of bees

I pledge a groovallegiance to the funk

Kinda torn with this album. I like jazz a lot, but The Nightfly is kinda missing like… some sauce. Some parts really hit. Most of it is just kinda.. milk toast. *Coming back to this review as I make my rating in the evening* I've learned that this is genre is called Yacht Rock. It feels like it's missing something. I'm not into it.
