1001 Albums Summary

No skips, every song is a classic. He's so charismatic and sassy. I love that he's performing in a prison, the crowd are off their nut and I don't blame them. There's the perfect amount of talking between songs and it adds so much to the set. He has beef with everyone at this show. This is the best way to listen to him, its raw and chaotic and you lose all that when its not live. It perfectly captures what made him so iconic. As an album this isn't going to be something i listen to a lot. It's more of a documented proof of character and the kind of thing you'd put on at an afters.

I put this on whilst cooking dinner and was beating a chicken breast during the title track. It was a pretty crazy experience for me and the breast was well beaten by the end. This was such a fun start to the album and the 'fun' didn't take away from the political message. I loved the singing, the screaming, his voice is so infectious and fits the music perfectly. Fairytail of New York is obviously a banger but I wish it wasn't on this album. I've heard it so many times and im listening in February so it kinda took me out of the experience a bit. Was in a shitty mood before i listened to this album but by the time mountain dew came on I was doing a little jig around the kitchen.

I found this kinda boring. None of the songs were that memorable, the album is too long and all the songs blur into an underwhelming slop of generic rock and roll. To be fair I don't really know the context of when they made this. They must've earned their reputation somehow and I'm sure they were very influential at the time. I wasn't there though so I don't care. It was fine to have on in the background but I'm not going to relisten, on purpose anyway. Bit dead.

This is like if Shrek and Donkey made a double album. It's an interesting idea.. I think at this point just make solo projects, stitching them together makes it really long and inconsistent. There are some really good tracks to cherry pick from here but also a lot of filler.

If I wanted to wallow in self pity I can think of so many albums I'd rather listen to, where I wouldn't have to listen to Thom Yorkes droning voice. I don't understand how this is so highly regarded, maybe I'm missing something? It's just boohoo poor me incel music which I suppose has its place but it's not even vaguely interesting boohoo poor me incel music. The only song that stood out for me was 'Just' but I'm not even sure I like it or if it was just slightly better than the rest of this snoozefest.

Eh, they are fine I guess? The kind of music horrid henry listens to I saw that this is a best of album and none of the songs really stood out for me. They would be fun to see live Unfortunately they're not my new favourite band, but I respect the effort.

I wasn’t aware of this band before now and then the first song came on and I was like yooo the meme song. The rest of the album is a very different vibe from the first track and honestly I’d rather it wasn’t on this album because it just makes me think of instant regret tiktoks. I can’t really blame them for that though. The guitars are definitely the main attraction here, and the other instruments support them well. They know their place and let the guitars take the limelight 90% of the time. There are a lot of shorter instrumental pieces and even when the guy is singing it’s not overbearing, which I’m fine with as I don’t really love his voice anyway. Songs like mood for a day are so stripped back and I feel like I’m listening to a medieval squire or something. And then other songs are more rocky or jazzy but it all feels consistent and flows still somehow. I enjoyed this! It’s so noodly and whimsical and fun.

Don't have much to say about this. It's fine I guess, just not really my kind of thing. Maybe in another life where I'm a truck driver in Texas.

I really wanted to like this, but I don't. 'head cut' was fun when she was screaming and going wowwwowoww and making weird noises. The rest of the album is kinda dreary and repetitive.

So this is a live album but its a mashup of performances from different shows. That's cheating. The fact that it's live doesn't even add anything. Sometimes they'll say something cheeky between songs and then there's a polite applause after each track, which is actually just annoying. You would think if they are cherry picking from different gigs they would choose ones with more energy. The singing also pisses me off. He sounds exactly like someone who would wear those leather pants. The guitars are impressive i guess but cliche. Towards the end of the album I feel like I'm listening to a pantomime. Cringe.

At first I wasn't a fan. I felt like they were trying so hard to be quirky random not like other boys. I gave it another listen and it grew on me a lot. There's a lot going on though and it's a bit all over the place. I think this was their first album which makes sense. Their influences aren't subtle, 'If you don't want me to destroy you' just sounds like a Bowie song. I'm interested to hear their later stuff, this was a really fun first album. My favourite tracks are 'Fuzzy birds' and 'Hometown unicorn'.

The OG culture vulture and probably the most overrated artist ever. He has some catchy songs though.

Really liked this! Super stupid was cool. They introduce an idea in like one verse and then the instrumentals tell the rest of the story. Sounds like a horror soundtrack and then the guitar spiralling and losing control is so fun. So many nice elements. The little clangy bell thing that floats from left to right in 'Back in our minds' Lots of nice textual stuff happening throughout the album. Wars of Armagedden sounds like a bunch of demon kids in music class whilst the teacher is out. It's actually kinda scary. I can't tell if they had the best or worst time making this, it is very funky and psychedelic though so they lived up to the name.

It’s good but way too long. There’s some really good songs on here: Under the bridge And some not so good: Apache rose peacock I love the Chili peppers in small doses, like the real things I guess. I find his voice a bit grating after a while and some of the lyrics make me cringe.

I cannot fucking wait til Morrissey dies

Nope. Music for nonces, made by nonces. I really tried to separate the art from the artist here but each song either made me roll my eyes or my skin crawl.

Absolute monstrosities sung in the most cheery and soothing voice. I love the storytelling and every song is so catchy. This is so cinematic and atmospheric, makes me want to ride a horse and wear a hat.

They keep saying how they're conscious, political rap but are they actually saying anything? Their main selling point is that they're not rapping about sex, drugs and violence but this just ends up sounding like Christian Dad rap. There's a lot of catchy tracks here. I was mostly just a fan of the beats though. I can think of so many better conscious rappers: Tupac, Kendrick, Mos Def, Common, Little Simz. This was just a bit surface level and didn't really say anything. Also a bit confused why they went in on RnB rappers and then literally the next song is over an RnB beat. This was a nice break from all the 70’s rock but I was a bit disappointed.

haha she's weird Some crazy accents going on here. Very theatrical, maybe too theatrical for me. I'm all for expression but reel it in a bit Kate.

Borinnggg

This has some absolute bops on it: Money for nothing Walk of life The saxophone on Your latest trick was also very nice. Shame about all the slurs, and the album gets a bit dead towards the end.

It took a couple listens to get used to his voice, and I still picture Byrne as Grandpa Simpson for some reason. Once I got used to the singing this grew on me so much. The lyrics are great and it's very funky and fun.

Love a lot of these songs, could cut out the covers though. Really nice album but not their best

who's that ladaaayy?

is this a cry for help?

Fatboy slim for vegans?

Just speak normally

Amazing album but hate the cover

There's better ways to piss off Christians

Beyblade commercial music

I couldn't finish it. He sounds like a parody of himself

I like when he goes brrrbbbrrbbbppbbrrpb

I usually don't love music that is this overly theatrical. HOWEVER I'm obsessed with how unapologetically campy and fun this is. There is the the perfect amount of lighter jingly songs sprinkled in that make the power ballads hit so much harder. It borrows from bunch of genres and is kinda all over the place but somehow keeps a consistent sound that is so uniquely Queen. Everything perfectly builds up to Bohemian rhapsody which obviously slaps and is the highlight of the album. I'm so close to giving this a 5 but I'm back in my dickhead critic era :/

It's definitely appropriation, feels a bit uncomfortable listening to him sing in a weird fake Jamaican accent. Disregarding all that, every song slaps and I way prefer this mix of genres than standard reggae.

rip beach boys you would have loved pitch perfect

Production is great, love the flute. The skits are okay but could probably do without them. Really fun album overall.

This album thinks it's doing way more than it actually is. Title track is catchy and I really liked Sprawl II. Everything in the middle is a pretentious boring sandwich.

I wanted to give this a chance but i can't finish it. I feel like my brain is being sandpapered (derogatory).

Has some classic songs but I wish they'd stop with all the live albums.

Its okay but sounds a bit mushy. Not really my thing but I would put it on in the background whilst I reminisce about the past or something. I like the cover.

Such a lovely mix of covers, also love the album artwork. The instruments aren't overdoing it either. Big campfire vibes. Love blue skies

Really like a few of the lyrics

is he susposed to be crying that sunset?

What the heck I wasnt in the mood for this today

I enjoyed it but will probably never listen to it again

Almost made me religious

Okay John

Robbie Rotten type beat

Not a huge regay fan but thiskinda nice

was fun for a few songs but got old really quick

waste of an egg

It’s giving goblins

kinda boring I prefer the more poppy cure

Love wild horses, the rest was fine

Nothing will top this album, I might as well quit here

I love this era where he's attacking everyone including himself and finding humor in his shitty situation. It does have some cringey lyrics and it hasn't aged well at all, but if the point was to piss people off then it definitely worked after looking at these reviews. As a horror album performed through a jaded character who hates everyone this is really good. I feel split because it does attack women and minorities a lot and that's not very nice. Hurt people hurt people I guess

Felt like I was stuck on a really slow and melancholic fairground ride. It’s not terrible but pretty boring

Hmm

Bit rambly and self indulgent She’s trying to fit too many words in each bar Maybe she should’ve been a rapper

Had to listen to this on YouTube and the ads every 10 minutes added some spice and gave me some concept of time

Really liked some of the lyrics but why does this sound like it was made by ceebeebies

JUSTICE FOR JOE MCELDERRY

They are still a bit too shouty for me but I enjoyed this more than Paul's boutique. It's a weird mess of an album though and kinda jarring to listen to. There's some nice instrumentals on here.

Live at san Quentin was my first album on the list and I liked it but this one doesn’t hit the same Not sure why there’s more than one of these on here He’s way more silly goofy on this one but his jokes are about shooting his dog He's also doing a lot a lot of weird voices He's giving krusty the clown or evil jim carrey

before listening - 2 hours and hes from the beach boys, not looking good. Trying to keep an open mind. update - got bored didn't finish it

The lyrics are good, and the delivery and beats are angry. I can appreciate it but i didn't enjoy it that much overall

not for me

Half of this album is amazing and half is filler But the amazing half is so amazing

Kinda boring and repetitive

Was fine, pretty short, Probably wouldn’t relisten Like most of the other live albums the live aspect doesn’t add much to the music It was going to get a 2 but I just read that he’s a nonce so he loses a star

Another short kinda forgettable album Not sure if this one is a pedo, so he gets 2 stars
