1001 Albums Summary

Very strong opener, very strong closer. The rest of it is completely forgettable saxophone noodling with a crap beatles cover.

I really like this. It's catchy and silly. Wish No Words was longer. I liked how weird they got with Picassos last words, I thought it was cool how they kept bringing back leitmotifs in some of the songs. Jet is a banger.

The worst song on this album is only good. The first 8 songs on this album are some of the best songs of the 90s. It's like a best of compilation.

Both albums are great. Massive songs on both. Would have made one amazing album, but suffers from some filler.

Beforehand: not really looking forward to this, don't particularly like country and western. But respect all 3 artists. Everyone of them are amazing vocalists. Four songs in and wishing it was over. It's the most boring yet amazingly performed album. I'm getting nothing from this. I quit with two songs to go, on the appropriately named "I've had enough."

Starts very strong. Going home has no business being this long. After that a lot of very samey material. Lot of filler in the second half. Strong first half, bland pedestrian second half.

Has some brilliant songs. Way too long and padded.

Ugh. I don't particularly want to listen to the world's most arrogant self declared nazi, but okay. It sounds like every other rap song. I guess it's like how Seinfeld isn't groundbreaking in hindsight because so many other shows copied it. This album is FINE. Maybe if I was listening in 2004 I'd have been blown away but this is very pedestrian, very samey. Good production, good writing and performance. I just feel nothing. I don't get the hype around him, but I don't have to, since he believes his own hype way too much. Also oh my god why is it so long, it has no need to be this long, it's all the same. I get he's doing the whole "what if I mixed hip hop with soul music and gospel" thing but I just don't believe him, it seems like he's trying too hard to force something and it comes off as inauthentic. I feel nothing from this album.

It's a servicable Hendrix album. The 1st album had the pop hooks and the 3rd album had the experimental godliness. This album has little of either. A lot of middling, stumbling, thrown together at the last minute bits of filler. If you ditched the filler, this would make an amazing transitional EP between Are you experienced and Electric Ladyland.

More 80s country. Please no. First song is actually not too bad, very average but not offensive. The vocal thing they do in country where they kind of yodel the words is very contrived and annoying but lets see if I get used to it. Five songs in and absolutely nothing has grabbed me, it's been very forgetful country-by-numbers. How do people listen to this genre for pleasure? It's so insipid. I'm getting nothing from this. It's so boring. Is that his voice or is he being a character? Final thoughts: very well performed and engineered. I gained nothing from this save from mild irritation and bemusement that this asinine genre is so popular. The album ended and I only realised the album was over and had been playing due to the sudden silence, it was like realising that someone in the adjoining room had finally finished vacuuming the carpet. I had completely zoned out and mentally blocked the album about halfway through.

Most of it still holds up. A bit samey in some parts.

This is really really really really good. The last song is a bit mid but literally everything else is great. The title track is amazing.

It's fine I guess, it has some nice songs but nothing memorable

It's okay. Didn't get a lot from it. Like generic 80s post punk mixed with ska. Even though they deal with deep, kind of grim subject matter, the ska makes it sound like kids party music. No songs stick in mind.

It's fine

This was fun, but very samey. Got a bit fatigued by the end as the songs all blended into each other. Didn't hate it, could have done with more variety as an album to break up the relentless gunfighter ballads and trail songs, but when all the songs are supposed to be gunfighter ballads and trail songs then I guess that's on me. If you're in the mood to listen to nothing but well performed gunfighter ballads and trail songs then this is the best you could ask for.

She's really good at singing but this album is boring as all hell

We have Pavement at home. Landfill shite.

It's fine, it's just kinda bland. Maybe when it came out it was fresh and new. The songs are okay, they're upbeat and performed well, they just seem kind of.. throw away. Every song is a 6/10.

Meh. Very forgettable album. Sounds nice enough I guess.

It's a pretty good, fun listen. A very listenable album. Has some big hits. I particularly enjoy the tracks with hard rock influences which isn't very common in rap nowadays. Party vibe. A lot of cool lyrics and a good mix of silly and important subject matter. Only criticism is that, while the backing tracks and lyrics change with each song, their flow and style of rapping stays the exact same which makes the tracks sound interchangeable. I guess that's just a sign of the time period where rap was still new and they didn't have a lot of diversity in style yet. Still good though.

It's okay, it has some brilliant songs like No cars go but the majority of it is filler. Nowhere near as good as their debut.

It's nothing amazing, it's perfectly servicable 90s post grunge. I'm not blown away by any of the songs bar the opener. It's not bad by any means, just nothing special.

I just can't be arsed with this one, I love his politics but his voice is just... he tilts his head back and opens his mouth wide and SINGS EVERYFINK IN THA SAAAME WAAAAY. The backing music is nothing special, the lyrics are amazing on paper. They're just not songs, they're poems bellowed tunelessly over sparce uninteresting jangly music. I just can't be arsed.

I know this album like the back of my hand. Still holds up. Solid album. It's really good. Elephant is only slightly better as it's a more cohesive and fully realised project, whereas this album is more sprawling and eclectic. Elephant is the better album, while this is more a collection of really good tunes. A few like The Union Forever, Little Room, and Aluminum are almost avant-garde (as much as garage rock can be) which can be an understandable turn off for some, but I dig it all the same.

Probably fresh and exciting at the time, now just generic punk band number 43. It's fine for what it is but I didn't get a lot from it.

This blows. Basic as all hell butt rock done better by everyone else. They have no style of their own. Their fast exciting songs sound slow and boring. Oh hold on, wait.. okay Nobody's fault is actually good. But that was the only one that was interesting. Why is this album on the list? Very underwhelming and uninteresting save for literally ONE song.

In an alternate universe, this is one of his more "okay" albums compared to his amazing later work in the late 70s. I want to live in that reality. I'll have to make do with this perfect album.
