1001 Albums Summary

This album is in the top 5 Radiohead albums for me. I remember hearing it for the first time as a teenager and it is difficult to describe how the sounds seemed to just be a part of me instantly. A lot of Radiohead is like that. Clearly I'm biased, but yeah, it's basically a perfect album for its genre.

Really enjoyable 90s brit-pop Beatles melancholic clone.

I think I would have loved this if I had owned it in my teenage years. It's a solid album, but feels a little stale for me now as an adult.

Amazing album. I absolutely hated the opening of the baby crying. Once I got past that jarring start I loved the rest of the album. I always liked Can I Kick It, but the rest of the album has amazing sampling, jazz vibes, bossanova in the background... I just really loved the whole thing.

This album is such a nice vibe. I didn't think I would like it very much and it took me a few songs in before I really bought in. This is not music to challenge you, it is music to turn on low in the background while you cook dinner, or sip iced tea on a Summer afternoon. Very chill.

Perfect album. I wish that every teenager and young 20 something in the world, throughout the generations has the chance to fall in love with Pink Floyd albums. Not single songs, but the whole album from beginning to end. As I get older I listen to Pink Floyd a lot less; they make me feel more melancholy now. But it doesn't change what a special place their music has in my life. Just thinking about some of the melodic swells in this album makes me feel emotional.

This is one of the first CDs my Mom gave me as a little kid. I think it is my favorite of the mid-career Beatles albums.

Aside from a couple of the tracks, I don't think I would listen to this again. It's a fine album, but that's it. It didn't inspire me much.

Beautiful Dylan album. I have to be in the mood for his music. The folksy sound and the sad subject matter can be a lot to take on some days.

The star of this was really Antonio Carlos Jobim.

I thought I would like this one more than I did. The music is gorgeous, but I imagine this as a gold mine of tracks for a good playlist as opposed to a great single album listen.

I liked this more than I thought it would. I love the samples and the music. Other than the song about the gynecology visit was just kind of silly and juvenile, the rest of the album was a vibe.

90s Brit-Pop but done really well. It's hard not to just hear them as a Beatles clone, but they are a very good Beatles clone.

Okay this one was really intriguing. It's a live album which can be tough for a first listen, but I can hear how so many other bands were influenced by this. The music is really beautiful and baroque. Too many things going on for someone like me to have words for.

I love this album, listened to it twice yesterday. I had never heard it before and was more familiar with their later more pop goth stuff which I also like. This album was something I always wanted and didn't know existed.

This was way too twangy country for me. I love Emmylou Harris' voice, songwriting is beautiful, arrangements and musicianship are excellent. I feel bad giving it a low score, but I just didn't care for it.
