1001 Albums Summary

3.5

chaotic but also not that interesting

I enjoyed this! Unsure if this score is too harsh but i think a 3 is pretty good so eh Had some clunky lyrics and could be a bit on the nose and repetitive at times for my taste but also some great moments

Great voice, ultimately a covers album with not loads going on

I enjoyed this and rating is hard, my indecisiveness prefers to have the option of half stars. I liked it but some repetitive choruses and not many wows for me on first few listens, will maybe revisit after Nevermind

I may be biased because this is the Beatles album I grew up on but it's just banger after banger As a child I LOVED Eleanor Rigby and found For No One so devastating i could barely listen to it - on this listen Tomorrow Never Knows really stuck out to me. A treat!

this is horrific but at least it was entertaining ...until it went on too long and became insufferable listening to this made me turn off recently played artists being visible on my spotify profile

Sounds nice i suppose, but a bit one-note - i feel like the album is broadly composed of continual noise with some interesting textures but it lacks some light and shade. Most of it sounds like background music that might be used in a mid film or car advert - more focused on atmosphere and vibes than musicality. It was fine, it sounded nice enough, but it bored me more as it went on.

May revisit

3-4

i listened to the original version on youtube as recommended by another review, and it was a lot better than the version on spotify so i'd recommend doing that. unfortunately i still hate drum & bass and i hated this

I was surprised by how much i didn't really like this one because i do like arcade fire that ive heard previously. started off well then got a bit wishy washy and anthemic for my taste

eh fine. i don't really like his voice

cheesey and samey and unfortunately really not my thing

fun album, not as interesting as stuff to come

enjoyed this one! will revisit

not really my genre but honestly enjoyed this more than i thought i would that said - pussycat was terrible, plz beyonce you can still go to the club with your friends even though you love your man, and if i hear 'this is a missy elliott exclusive' one more time i think i'll have a breakdown

unfortunately i'm not massively a lyrics person and musically this is very monotonous and repetitive, almost eerily so. an interesting listen as i've not listened to much traditional country music before, but i didn't particularly enjoy it - the constant harmonising made my brain feel like mush by the end

kind of fun at points, too repetitive, got sick of it as it went on

this is a journey and the sampling is crazy, i understand why people love it and why it's here but i also struggled to get through it

i'm trying to like rap & hip hop but i'm finding it hard snappin' & trappin' one of the most horrible songs ive ever listened to but the rest of it was alright might have rated this higher if i didn't feel a bit overwhelmed by rap lately - i can see why it's good but i just didnt really enjoy listening to it and it was looong

unfortunately this did not make me like 80s synth pop

sounds nice enough

Nice stuff

the kind of album that feels more about the lyrics than about the music. I quite liked State Trooper, the rest of it was fairly samey and uninteresting.

slapped tbh

eh

all vibes no bite. soo dull

i suppose it's fun but is it good

opens with a song ive heard in ads my entire life but never been arsed about enough to google, got even less interesting after that

enjoyed this, confused by compilation

good 80s! a bit long

wow i love it when music is fun and weird

tinny 80s synths and shrieky voice - not my thing

many a classic banger, a little bit too poppy for me

eh fuck it

some interesting bits but kinda boring

is it the absolute best bowie probably no, but is it so warm and beautiful that it brings me to tears yes, therefore 5 stars

nice listening for a hot sunny day, probably won't ever listen to it again and i suspect if i'd got this one on a horrible rainy day i'd have given it a 2

kinda fun i guess but a bit soulless? too American and too Man

bleh

yeah kinda liked this idk got worse towards the middlend but better again at the end

it's alright. her voice is too slinky and i don't like all the jumps in the melodies, and i feel like it lacks an edge. i get why it's good but i just don't really like it very much maybe one to revisit at some point

the most twee thing i've ever heard but i didn't haaate it it's not interesting or varied enough to get away with being this long tho

last song is fucking crazy

fun but pretty repetitive

10 stars masterpiece perfect Five years/rock 'n' roll suicide probably the best opener/closer duo of any album ever i dont care

maybe i'm missing something but this goes on for too long and has some good moments but is largely kind of dull. maybe one to revisit.

some pretty good some pretty bad mostly forgettable 3 fucking hours long

some of this was pretty cool and some of this i really didnt like

ive never intentionally listened to oasis before even though i obviously know most of this album already via osmosis or something idk, and i seem to be feeling grumpy today so here goes liam's voice is unbearable and wonderwall is shit. i have fun hearing some of these songs individually but a whole album of this samey whiney nonsense is too much jfc apparently i'm now required to move out of manchester

hard to rate bc it oscillated between kinda groovy and vomit inducing. overall gave me the ick

i liked this more than the other album on here but not that much

bland and also horrible

so american and so 80s

maybe one day i'll rate a bowie album less than 5 stars but today is not that day 10/5 fucking brilliant one of my favs

liked this more than Blue but i still don't really get Joni Mitchell

musically feels a bit like mcdonalds, tastes alright but devoid of anything interesting billie joe armstrong's voice is nails on a chalkboard unbearable i appreciate the whole political punk rock opera thing (theatre kid (derogatory)) but it does ends up feeling very cheesy
