1001 Albums Summary

first clash album i sat through the whole of. very good, very much what i expected it to be. can’t imagine returning much outside of a few tracks. i loved white riot, what’s my name and 48 hours

they have a talent of putting the most gorgeous song you’ve ever heard right next to the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever heard 😭 obligatory: what the fuck student demonstration time

i went in thinking i was going to hate this. highway star immediately changed my mind. incredible start. the rest of it was fine. great moments. lazy was a huge standout. forgot jesus was in this band. huge plus.

her voice isn’t really for me, but the songwriting is incredible. unfortunately i don’t see myself returning to this very much outside of a couple songs, im just not big on her voice. fast car is great though, obviously.

this one was fucking awesome. i love electronic music. i loved the robots, the model and neon lights. the rest of it kinda dragged unfortunately. i wanted to give it higher but it was honestly perfectly split between really really good tracks and stuff i wasn’t really into.

it’s not doing much for me and i’m not fully sure why. it’s cute. doesn’t help that there’s a song that’s been ruined by overplay for me in the middle of the album. didn’t even like it that much to begin with. his energy is pretty great.

i’d heard this album before. this has historically been my least favorite smiths album. it’s not horrible, it’s just against heavy competition. queen is dead is one of my favorite albums of the 80s. fuck unhappy birthday, that song sucks. stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before is a new favorite. really liked it this listen. johnny marr rightfully gets a lot of credit but shout out andy rourke and mike joyce. godtier rhythm section. paint a vulgar picture is dreadful. yeah on this listen, this album was pretty rough. some standout tracks for sure, but a lot of dredge. i liked death of a disco dancer, stop me if.. and the rest are either fine or shit.

i love the guitar work on this. any album with a bass solo is incredible. this is pretty good. so far i really just haven’t cared for tracks 2 and 4. it’s kinda falling off in the second half. true confessions is sick though.

i’ve heard this album so many times before. i had a huge radiohead phase back in high school and early college. they are really really good at managing three guitarists on this album. incredible bass playing throughout. i mean it’s ok computer what hasn’t been said a million times about ok computer. the vibes are incredible. paying a lot of attention to all the glitchy computer sounds. incredible attention to detail throughout this whole project. also incredibly catchy. there isn’t a single song on this thing i don’t like. nothing’s out of place. the track sequencing is absolutely perfect. to think i was worried it wasn’t going to hold up. i havent listened to this thing since getting into a ton of other music. and im listening to the original, ive listened to the remaster and its waaay better. its insane how good this thing is. im at the drop of exit music. i would die for colin greenwood. god i love bass guitar. fitter happier blew my mind as a kid. i’m also listening to this in the middle of the night. really heightens the vibe. i think climbing up the walls is my favorite song this listen. i’ve always loved that one. it’s gonna be a glorious day BWOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW yea it’s hard not to give this a 5. i totally expected to be contrarian on this after listening to so much other music since the last time i heard this but yea it holds up. great album. lmao ok computer is a good album, big whoop.

there’s something about abba that just doesn’t really click with me. i didn’t really care for the opener. dancing queen is fun though. i used to hate that song but i think it’s grown on me. i think it’s their voices. maybe i just got this one on a bad day. it might just be that first song. i love my love, my life. yea it’s either the most incredible song ive heard or doing nothing for me. why is there a blues song on this. i wanted to like this. my friend’s a big abba fan but yea i wasn’t really feeling this. favorite tracks, dancing queen, money money money, my love my life. the rest was fine.

i have heard this album a couple times before. i don’t really have much to say about it. it’s just a good album. hits on hits on hits. the bass work so nasty, it’s really damn good. rain when i die hit a lot harder this time. that fake fade out is so cool every time anyone does it. fuck this thing is so good. i’m on down in a hole. first song i don’t really remember is next, sickman. hope it doesn’t fall off. i’ve heard rooster too much. i remember sickman. it’s kickass. i forgot that the bassline in rooster is incredible. i haven’t heard rooster too much, this song is awesome. WHATS MY DRUG OF CHOIIIIIICE 🗣️🗣️🗣️ junkhead might be the best song on this album and that’s saying A LOT. i love when they bring out the queens of the stone age guitar sound. fuck the end of god smack and untitled. corny asf. godsmack is a great song outside of that dumb voice at the end. hate to feel isn’t hitting. holy fucking ending. angry chair into would. christ. i’m sure this goes hard on heroin.

i’ve heard of this one a lot. i see it everywhere but i hadn’t listened to it. i don’t really know anything about it. didn’t know it was a 90s album. i thought it was super recent. i was probably getting it mixed up with the new black country new road album from last year. i’m excited i really have no idea what to expect. holy shit this is not at all what i was expecting. i had no expectations at all and it still surprised me. i don’t know what to make of this. i was confused by the name and the marketing so i went to get a better handle on their sound after listening to “movin’ on up” by going to their previous album’s “i’m losing more than i’ll ever have”. that song’s awesome, but it doesn’t affect anything bc it’s not on screamadelica. back on slip inside this house. i cannot imagine how fans of this band felt when this came out. i still don’t know how to feel about the movin’ on up, but this song is really good i like this. this album is genuinely insane though. i’m tired i started this after midnight. i’m going to go to bed and start this over in the morning. i woke up a little sick, im not sure if that’s gonna affect how i feel about this. going back into movin’ on up now. he sounds like pablo honey thom yorke. movin’ on up hit a lot harder this time. great song. slip inside the house is so my shit. the house drum beat, always love a good sitar. however you would describe the vocal, it’s working for me. just realized how groovy that bass line is. it’s like a fucked up talking heads song. specifically off speaking in tongues. i’m on don’t fight it, feel it. getting a very similar vibe to the last track. that’s not a bad thing AT ALL. but judging the huge differences between the first two songs, i thought this album was going to be way more eclectic. but i’m on the third track and this album is over an hour long, we’ll see. nvm this is way different, way more of a straight forward house track. i love it. this album just makes me want to MOVE. obsessed with the bass lines on this so far. i understand why this is way more well regarded than the previous album now. as much as i loved im losing more than ill ever have, ive heard that kind of song plenty of times. this is something special. im on higher than the sun now. this album continues to be incredibly eclectic. i also love this sound. these guys are bright as hell. movin’ on up is such an odd opener in retrospect but i don’t think it was a bad choice. WOAH. the last minute of this song is so fucking good. when the beat switches. insane. i’m on inner flight now. i think this album was exactly what sick me needed. i really thought i was gonna hate it bc this album just hit me on a weird day but this is perfect. god i love new age. i love this notes feature. i love a good interlude. i love music, man. life is good. i took a short break. i’m on come together. uh oh. it’s different again but i’m not sure how i feel about this. yeah i don’t really care for come together. it’s well made and it is what it wants to be, but it’s so dated. it gives me the vibe of the end of a kids movie where everyone’s dancing. it also goes on for way too long, which i haven’t felt about a song on here yet. i’m on loaded now. i’ve never been huge on early 90s “tribe called quest” “de la soul” style rap. i do love a good slide guitar though. it also sounds a little dated but it’s not nearly as bad. i like this a lot more than come together. come together had this preachy “let’s all just be friends” vibe that i just hated. i’m surprised loaded is their biggest song on apple music, im not sure why that is. it’s not bad, it’s just not as grabbing as the rest of the tracks here. i’m not fully sure why this was the lead single. i’m on damaged now, i like the start of this but im gonna take another short break before i start it proper. i’m back, listened to pavement for a minute. damaged is fucking gorgeous. love a good acoustic ballad. especially after those last couple tracks. if oasis was good. i’m comin down now. what the gong. that song was also absolutely gorgeous. hypnotizing. i love when a song is hypnotizing. higher than the sun still incredible in the reprise. thank god. i love sound. both parts of these parts im super into. i love this repeating bass part, super cool. all the house tracks are just incredible well made. i’m on shine like stars now. dammit this one isn’t really doing it for me. fine enough ending, i feel like this is a hard album to close out. i just don’t think this track sticks the landing too well. it’s functional, at the very least. really really high highs with some duds in the middle and a somewhat disappointing end. 4/5

i haven’t heard this album before. i like some rap. i’m very very picky with rap, im even pickier with rap from the 90s. here’s hoping i fuck with this one. it does somewhat worry me that there’s 20 tracks on this thing and it’s over an hour long. i’m going to go in with an open mind though. i like this intro quite a bit :D i’m on brothers gonna work it out. it sounds old, but it doesn’t sound obnoxiously outdated for me yet. i’m still a little sick, maybe this was a bad album for me to get today. just bc it’s a genre i’ve never really been into. i like the message of 911 is a joke. the song is cool. it’s definitely better than a lot of old school rap i’ve heard. okay yea this album is neat. i like the fuck you attitude. it’s very punk. the beats are mixed dark as hell. it’s a sweet vibe. this is good. i’m very tired. burn hollywood burn is my favorite song so far. i took a long break after burn hollywood burn. took a long nap. the takeout at the start of it power to the people is really funny. i think this is an album i’ll have to revisit. i generally have to listen to rap albums a ton to get really into them. the chopped vocals can get really grating at times. i am liking this more after the break :) it is kind of a lot though. because of the dark sounding beats and the very aggressive tone and how long it is, this album is kind of a marathon. i do like it though. okay i finished it. i think it kinda drags near the end, fight the power is good though.

i think i’ve heard of this band and album before. apple music calls it punk, i wasn’t really expecting that. it feels new wave-y to me, judging by the cover and band name. i’m excited :) i also think it’s funny there’s an hour long interview attached to the apple music release, and that’s the only version of the album on apple music. HOLY SHIT WHAT AN OPENING. i’m a little stoned for this one. this is johnny rotten????? i didn’t know he had this shit in him holy goddamn. the mixing / panning on this is weird as fuck, but it doesn’t really bother me. it’s pretty sick. my head hurts. whoever mixed this is an insane person. i love the bassist on this. mmmmm bass guitar. i accidentally fell asleep during the last song, i gotta go back and listen to it again. i’m thinking a 5 atm honestly. i’m sober now, listening to that last track again. it’s crazy, for sure. i like the audacity of it. i still like it a lot. i can imagine myself revisiting this. 5

i haven’t heard of this album before but i know the group. i don’t really have any expectations honesty, other than apple music calling it a hip hop/rap album. i’ve also heard of the band. i played a show last night. i’m a bassist :) partied hard after. slept over at my bandmates’ place. very tired and hungover today. i’m feeling this. i liked that punk interlude, that was fun. rock you was alright, im feeling sacrifice :) rolling with heat is fine. surprise surprise, questlove is a good drummer. the seed 2.0 is my favorite song so far. mmm water goes hard. i’m feeling a 4, i’ll probably revisit this. hooooly fuck the second half of water is awesome. the next couple songs were alright, something in the way of thing and thirsty were highlights at the end. ultimately this was a damn good album.

i’ve heard of these guys before. i know the backstory of them being bob dylan’s band. (i’ve heard all of dylan’s albums already, outside of this generator.) but i haven’t heard this album yet, im excited :) incredible start. i’m on caledonia mission now. this album feels like you’re in an old saloon and it’s BUMPING. oh i know the weight. i don’t remember liking this song this much, it’s good. that being said, it might be the worst song so far. we can talk was kinda mid. i’m worried this album was front loaded. lonesome suzie is cute, i like this. i was immediately very put off by the vocals of i shall be released, now it might be my favorite on the whole thing. damn good song. some really good moments on here, but it had some parts i didn’t really care about. my favorite songs were tears of rage and i shall be released.

uh oh. i know ace of spades (song), the instrumental is really good. i hate this guy’s voice. oh god there’s a song called jailbait on here 😭😭 i might hate this. shoot you in the back immediately made me angry. on live to win. the bass tone on this album is cool. i wish i liked.. any of this. this sucks so bad. fire fire. ugggggghhhhhhhh 🫩 i’m on jailbait… i already hated this what are we DOING HERE MAN 😭😭 THEY JUST FUCKING REUSED THE ACE OF SPADES RIFF AS A BASS LINE. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU. the chase is better than the catch… this was dreadful. 1

this is working for me :) i liked the intro a lot. i wasn’t really feeling one two cha cha cha at first but it’s growing on me. mmm jazz. i hadn’t heard this before. i’m a little surprised by this. i had a feeling i’d like it but not completely love it. this is great, not really a dull moment on this. i could see myself revisiting this. another note, yesterday was pretty rough (so was the album i got 😭) and putting this on this morning was immediately good vibes.

i’ve heard of the the! i love their band name. no idea what kind of music they do. always got a the band vibe. i’m seeing now they are nothing like that. this is neat. i see a lot of people complain about the amount of new wave on this list. i love new wave. this is awesome. also this album is gorgeous. incredibly well made. ouggggggh the piano solo in uncertain smile 🤤 i’m scared of god, im scared of hell. so real. i’m definitely revisiting this. i liked every moment on this. may change later but definitely a 5 on this listen

i do not like goodbye baby. the first two songs were alright. cry to me was the better of the two. this is cute i had swans’ “people like us” queued up after this album. crazy whiplash. this was alright though, didn’t do a whole lot for me.

goddammit i fucking hate linkin park. i’ve heard this album before. i put this off pretty much all day. it’s 10:47 pm and im getting into the album now. it’s not even linkin park’s fault. their music just isn’t for me. i don’t really like chester’s voice, never have. evil backstreet boys. never realized how cringy runaway is. never paid that close attention to it. christ 😭 thankfully this album is short. god i hate the rapping on this. i understand why this is on here, it’s important for the cultural history of music. at least i got to reaffirm my hatred for this band to know that im not crazy.

i haven’t heard this album before. i do know aretha franklin though. hard not to. this isn’t aretha’s fault at all, but i really hate when old albums are stereo mixed like this. i put it on a speaker and it’s way better. this album is incredible. i’m definitely going to revisit this.
