Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

All Ratings

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Fantastic album. Even the non-popular songs are pretty good. Bluesy with tons of great bass lines. Defines why Black Sabbath are 70s icons.

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

Oof. A beautiful last album but drastically different from what I know David Bowie to be. Lazarus and I Can't Give Everything Away stick out as monuments to his capability to make something weirdly beautiful.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

One of the most complete albums I've ever listened to. Hate that I used to skip to all the singles. Momma is the only track I don't get. I'll always be excited to relisten to this album.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

5/5

Loved that there was a sound that tied all the songs together but they were so different from each other. Definitely bummed I missed in the 90s but so glad I got to listen to it.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Great voice, but live jazz albums are tough for me. It's like a sports game. So much better actually being there. Hope to hear more from her. Fantastic artist.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

Really solid album. Pretty jazzy without being too random. Can't wait to compare it to other names in Jazz.

Gorillaz

5/5

Can't believe I missed this album. Never realized how many bangers are on this. Punk is by far my new favorite, but it is hard to pick. Not a fan of the remixes on the album.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Soooo good! The first disc has all the hits but the second disc has a bunch of great bluesy and riffy songs. Can't believe I've never checked out this album before. Fantastic inclusion!

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Damaged

Black Flag

3/5

Such an interesting album. It has some fun uplifting tunes and some heavier punk songs. TV Party and Six Pack are definitely bangers while the title track is very emotional and intense.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

This was surprising good. I knew the single but there were a few tracks on the album that reminded me of Oasis. Not sure why it was included, but I'm happy I checked it out.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Very different album. Love the Tricky tracks and some of the driving synth. The tough thing is a lot of it sounded the same.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

4/5

Tried not to judge it as a Hair Metal album. It definitely made me see the appeal of this era of music. Rock of Ages is a banger and same with Photograph. After that, it all kinda sounds the same, but not in a bad way. Also loved Too Late for Love.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Great album for having one unique sound. A fantastic sound but hard to differentiate the tracks. The title track and the last track are among my favorites. Super happy to listen to one of their full albums.

More Specials

The Specials

4/5

International Jet Set is one of the best finds in my experience with this project. The whole album has such different sounds from track to track. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

Fantastic instrumental album. So many recognizable riffs and tracks. Was able to just sit back and enjoy this one.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

3/5

So much better than I thought it was going to be. Thought it was more a parody punk band but there were actual jams on it. Their version of Fever was amazing.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

Love this album. So fantastic for a debut album. Such a fresh sound. The first three tracks are so hard to get through because you just want to repeat them ad nauseum. Glad it was included in the 1001.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Not my favorite album but definitely has some bangers. Layla, Bell Bottom Blues, and Thorn Tree in the Garden.

Parklife

Blur

3/5

Amazing first track but that was tough cause I compared the rest of the album to it. Album definitely had a Supergrass sound to it.

Arise

Sepultura

2/5

Not my favorite album but I have respect for it. Cats love toys set to these beats. Cats might be more metal than we think.

Different Class

Pulp

2/5

Unique sounds but not my cup of tea. One track caught my ear but that was about it.

Roxy Music

3/5

Love the synths on this album. Very dystopian. Obviously the first track is a banger but loved the vibe of the rest of the album.

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Such a fantastic album. This shows what an amazing artist is capable of. Didn't know a single track but enjoyed every one. Stevie is one of the greatest.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

Never really listened to Dolly before but man, she is so talented. Enjoyed every song on the album.
