1001 Albums Summary

TBH i think i would give the whole album 2.5/5! Not bad just not my thing that much haha.

I didn't score this one individually, because it felt more like a complete piece from being live. Favourite song(s): Folsom Prison Blues, San Quentin (Reprise) Least favourite song(s): I Walk the Line (though still love it, but loved all the others more!) I loved that you really feel transported in this album. Mr Cash you are a legend :)

Sooo much fun. Billy Joel's songwriting is always a blast to experience. I loved some of the songs (the stranger, always a woman) but the last two left much to be desired imo. a solid 3.5 album; some songs to save but not consistent enough for a 4 :) favourite(s): The Stranger, Always a Woman least favourite(s): Get it Right the First Time, Everybody Has a Dream

i appreciate how impressive this album is and the experimentation, but for me it's more misses than hits. i do love time after time though!

it was fine! the instrumentals were lovely but some of it felt repetitive. 2 or 2.5/5, depending.

this album is so wild, oh my god. i love how crazy it is?! really haven't heard anything like it, especially from this era. solid 3.5/5 i think.

this was my first time listening to this album all the way through; i appreciate it's value and the huge impact on the music scene as a whole, but it left little to no impact on me. i appreciated the lyrics the most, but i do feel the album is a touch overrated. i can't give it more than a 2, because the majority of songs i just did not enjoy at all. also fuck that racist cunt nico. ft: heroin lft: i'll be your mirror, european son

my god this sucks. guess being a nazi will do that to you. p.s. why does chelsea girls go on for 10 years. it's like a circle of hell. ft: these days lft: eulogy to lenny brucem chelsea girls, it was a pleasure then

such an easy 5*!! a no-skip album for me, i absolutely adored it. the way the vocals are layered throughout to build such a fantastical soundscape is incredible. the grandiosity that builds is exciting every time, and make the softer, more dreamlike tracks shine. it's hard to pick just one as a favourite. the first three tracks provide this sense of invigoration, and feel almost feverish at times. the instrumentation pulses in a way that is borderline hypnotic. then there's tracks such as under ice, waking the witch, and jig of life that provide a more storied approach lyrically, with each track developing into separate chapters of a book. under ice feels ominous, almost haunting before transitioning into waking the witch, a more claustrophobic atmosphere, waking the witch specifically felt like i had been put into a musical sleep paralysis, in the best way. then there's jig of life, turbulent, emotional, and so fun. again, easy 5/5 for me. i completely understand that it's not for everyone but this is such a unique album and should be considered as influential as something like the velvet underground, in my opinion! average track rating: 4.2/5 album rating: 5/5 thank you to the person who did this format in the reviews, I hope you don't mind me taking and adjusting for my purposes :') number of albums left to review: 1,080 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 3 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 1 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 8

album #10 incredibly produced! some real bangers on here. i had never listened to this album before, and i can understand why it was on the list. it's a real shame that he made an album with some real lyrical gems only to turn around and become a nazi. boo you! favourite track(s): the new workout plan, family business least favourite track(s): two words number of albums left to review: 1,079 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 4 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 1 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 9

album #11 A beautifully smooth and playful live album! Sarah Vaughn's voice is incredible and her ability to improvise in a fun way really endears this album to me. I disliked "be anything but darling be mine" but I do prefer it to the original. 3.5/5 because the live recording interactions made me giggle. favourite track(s): willow weep for me, how high the moon least favourite track(s): be anything but darling be mine number of albums left to review: 1,078 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 5 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 1 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 10

album #12 I absolutely adore the experimentation throughout this album. mr. eno, one has to wonder if you've ever missed. this album has so many unique tracks, to the point i really couldn't predict what was coming next - and i love that! some of them were a bit more dull or simply weren't my thing (driving me backwards, blowtorch), but i feel this is more through the strength of the other tracks rather than these being bad, per se. loved it! here come the warm jets is a new favourite song, which has bumped this to a 4/5 :) average track rating: 3.4 favourite track(s): here come the warm jets (easily a new favourite song), on some faraway beach, dead finks don't talk least favourite track(s): driving me backwards number of albums left to review: 1,077 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 6 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 2 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 10

album #13 wild album from start to finish, literally. the songs have an almost animalistic nature to them in the best way. whilst some are less up my alley, i grew up listening to ozzy and hand of doom alone bumps the whole scoring. i can't give it a 5/5 because, for me, there aren't enough songs that incredible / to my taste. happy to give a solid 4/5 for musicality, nostalgia, and influence. average track rating: 3.5/5 favourite track(s): hand of doom, paranoid, war pigs least favourite track(s): iron man number of albums left to review: 1,076 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 7 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 10

album #14 i didn't vibe with any song on this album, unfortunately. it's fine! i just don't care to listen to it again. the doors are influential, but not sure if this album should make it to the list when there is simply better blues music out there lol. number of albums left to review: 1,075 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 7 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 11

album #15 weird and wacky! i can't hate on this album, even though there were moments that fell flat for me. i've never listened to this talking heads album, and i do have to say the basslines throughout are sooo scrumptious to listen to. that being said, sometimes david byrne's vibe is just not for me. i do have to rate animals having the line "shit on the ground!", though. it's more a 2.5 for me, but have rounded up :--) favourite track(s): heaven, animals least favourite track(s): drugs, air number of albums left to review: 1,074 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 7 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 12

album #16 I saw one reviewer saying this album is like Duran Duran on downers and I haven't stopped laughing. It's true, though! I do enjoy that you can see/hear where a lot of 80s synth got it's inspiration, and I rate them for that! However, a lot of the album falls a little flat to me, either sounding indistinguishable from the last or just a bit too forgettable. I'm giving a 2/5 because I liked a couple of the tracks and I like the influence the album had on the following decade, but it's lack of memorability means it loses out on a 3. average track rating: 2.6 favourite track(s): fall in love with me, foreign place least favourite track(s): all tomorrow's parties album rating: 2/5 number of albums left to review: 1,073 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 8 (+1 Quiet Life) albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 13

album #17 Okay so I liked quite a few of the songs on this album, but I'm not 100% sure why it's on this list haha. I'm not opposed to it, and really loved 'Dancing Choose', and 'Lover's Day', but I'm not sure it constitutes an album that is necessary to listen to. It's of its time but not particularly influential or noteworthy to be deemed an album to listen to before death LOL! A solid indie album. Nothing particularly special about it, but I enjoyed listening to an album from a band I had never heard of before :D average track rating: 2.8 favourite track(s): dancing choose, lovers day least favourite track(s): red dress, golden age album rating: 3/5 number of albums left to review: 1,072 number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 8 albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #18 Do I like this album? No. Do I think it should be on the list? Yes. Blue lines paved the way for a lot of trip-hop, especially in the uk lol; i massively (;D) respect what they did with this album and what it meant for the uk music scene as a whole. But i just don't like it. it's a taste thing - i like some of massive attack's stuff, just not this album. c'est la vie! ꩜ average track rating: 1.9/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): blue lines ꩜ least favourite track(s): one love, safe from harm ꩜ album rating: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,071 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 9 (+1 Blue Lines) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #20 in the name of billy joel - sing us a song piano man!! love the story behind this but i'm afraid i am not the target audience lol. ꩜ album rating: ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,069 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 9 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #21 every track name on this made me giggle because of how it reads as more and more desperate as the tracks go on LOL. 3/5 because it's the temptations and they have a very clear influence on music and also their bass lines fuck. ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,068 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 10 (+1 Cloud Nine) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 14

album #22 this isn't a bad album but i fail to understand why it's on this list. it's dull as dishwater and isn't influential/impactful. i have a feeling it's just because it won a mercury prize. it was hard for me to actually get through the whole thing because i just wasn't interested. every song sounded the same, barring the ocean. i'm giving it a 1 because halfway through i kept checking whether it was the last song so i could end the album lol. ꩜ favourite track(s): the ocean ꩜ least favourite track(s): born under a bad sign ꩜ album rating: ★☆☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,067 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 10 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 19

album #23 DnB is not really my thing, but i like the vibes throughout this album. does the title song need to be 20 minutes? absolutely not, but i do respect it! i think a lot of the people who give this a low rating and call it slop, drivel, or for low-iqs are simply overly pretentious people who think they are better than dnb. probably classist too lol! you are not better than people because you like to huff lou reed's farts <3 it's easy to see the lasting influence this had on dnb in general, even as someone who isn't a huge fan. a lot of the synth injections were super atmospheric, which i liked! i wouldn't listen to the whole thing again, but definitely 1 or 2 songs to keep :) it deserves it's place on the list because of how it essentially brought jungle to the uk dnb scene. very cool. ꩜ favourite track(s): saint angel, sea of tears ꩜ least favourite track(s): adrift ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,066 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 10 (+1 Timeless) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 3 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 19

album #25 bob dylan is a good writer and musician, but i simply do not vibe with a lot of this album. happy he wrote mr. tambourine man, though, so that the byrds could eventually cover it <3 ꩜ average track rating: 2.4/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): subterranean homesick blues, it's all over now baby blue ꩜ least favourite track(s): maggie's farm, outlaw blues ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,064 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 12 (+1 Bringing It All Back Home) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 4 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 21

album #26 completely agree with this being on the list, despite being initially surprised that it was LOL. this album is beautifully written and really captures the indie-electronic scene of the early 2010s. the scots know how to make tunes! i love the lyricism in this album, it really feels like you're in a move. it's so striking and i love it! such an incredible debut album and absolutely deserves it's place on the list, it's indie synth-pop magic and chvrches simply do not miss. IMO the people who disagree think the list should only include certain genres - ur boring! ꩜ average track rating: 4.2/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): the mother we share, gun, under the tide ꩜ least favourite track(s): recover ꩜ album rating: ★★★★★ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,063 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 13 (+1 The Bones of What You Believe) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 5 (+1 The Bones of What You Believe) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 21

album #27 the way these songs are constructed feels like they have represented a different genre of horror in every song. the whole album has been carefully built to sound chaotic and almost disjointed to emphasise the theatrical horror aspects. it's clever, fun, and delightfully crazy. the fact this came out in '73 before the satanic panic is so cool, and clearly influenced many of the artists of that period. alice cooper, you truly rock! ꩜ average track rating: 3.7/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): generation landslide, mary ann, hello hooray ꩜ least favourite track(s): unfinished sweet ꩜ album rating: ★★★★☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,062 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 14 (+1 Billion Dollar Babies) ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 6 (+1 Billion Dollar Babies) ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 21

album #28 pros: i enjoyed the genre blending aspects, and i do think more albums need to be comfortable with not fitting into a specific 'labelled' genre. cons: a lot of the album gives off a teen incel vibe, especially backseat love. that and pharrell is a rotten zionist so fuck off! ꩜ average track rating: 2.4/5 ꩜ favourite track(s): jump, drill sergeant ꩜ least favourite track(s): backseat love, wonderful place ꩜ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,061 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 14 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 6 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 22
