1001 Albums Summary

Yo that shit was cheeks…. Jk - appreciate the obvious influence on grunge music.. most of it lacked musicality for my taste but not all of it! Raw and high energy

Miss the old Kanye. Pretty legendary debut album. Only have a surface level knowledge of Kanye but the lyricism here is some of his best imo. Beats are inventive and well-engineered. That said, nothing had me hitting the download button, but really good album. Will probably give it another listen soon

A Steely Dan album is like a box of chocolates. I’d heard this album talked about plenty but never listened front to back. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen are clearly virtuosos musically - always some intricate progressions and arrangements. The first 3 tracks had me ready to give this one 5 stars, but I found things getting less interesting by the middle. Glad I discovered that banger “Night by Night” though! 🔥 Any Major Dude rocks as well, and of course Ricky is a certified classic

Not a huge fan of U2. Nothing inherently wrong with this album, just didn’t stand out for me with anything besides the couple of hits.

Banger album. In my opinion even the lows are high, and the highs more than make up for them. I’ll give it 5 stars

“The queerest of the queer” yeah that’s you lol 😂 This band really lived up to their name with this one… nah not terrible haha but nothing memorable for me here personally. Thinking closer to 1.5

Always interesting to check out the hidden albums of one-hit-wonders. I could drink to this! Maybe didn’t earn any downloads from me - but a fun listen overall.

Gotta love early 2000s rap at least a little. Lots of impressive features on this album. Well produced. Lyrics are pretty corny but it gets points for the laughs lol. Can’t say I considered many tracks bangers.

Reading poetry over music doesn’t really do it for me, But there were a couple tunes I kind of enjoyed. Props to a Canadian Legend though - I’ll try this again in another 30 years - maybe then I’ll get it.

Some great songs here! Classics and stuff i hadn’t heard. Even the ‘skips’ have something kind of genius about them honestly. Guy’s a legend

Pretenders are very hit or miss for me. Just about all misses here unfortunately

Expected very little from this when I heard the first French lyrics.. actually ended up quite liking almost every song - with the only complaint that I didn’t understand most of it. Then wouldn’t you know it, the second half is the English versions. This album kinda rules

Can’t say I really enjoyed any of this. I can appreciate metal as much as the next guy, but to me this was just loud and heavy for the sake of being loud and heavy

A couple of these were definitely “filler”. But those three big hits more than pull their weight.

There’s everything before Jimi, and there’s everything after. A handful of songs here that don’t make me run them on repeat, but I agree that everyone should listen to this at least once in their life
