1001 Albums Summary

Beautiful songs and covers. Not really a big nirvana listener but was a pleasure to listen to.

ill drink a big fat beer (beer) then ill go to the potty (potty)

Nothing really memorable

Can a white boy speak a little patois? Message in a bottle is a really good song and the rest was okay. I like Zenyatta Mondatta a lot more.

I bet if I were 12-20 when this came out it would have blown my mind. Also definitely music to be dancing to. Otherwise we be I-IV-I maxxing.

Some good songs some snoozers. Holier than thou was rlly good.

Solid album. Silly songs are funny and the serious songs are good. I liked death of a clown, love me till the sun shines and lazy old sun.

Colonizer album. “World music” is fun and I’m sure this introduced people to non-western sounds, but the whole project falls apart when the british guy starts talking.

Never listened to Alice in Chains before but the whole album was great. Gritty and powerful.

I wanna meet the guy who’s jacking anton off. A bit boring but a few song like dynamite and green light were good but overall wasn’t that impressive to me.

Quintessential jazz fusion. Also quintessential high school jazz band music. It’s fun when you can tell a new synthesizer came out when an album has bad string presets. Don’t play the butter notes.

There are 1001 albums that this guy has told me that I have to listen to before I die. That means that, within the Anglosphere that this list was mostly chosen from, this is the cream of the crop with what culture had to offer. If I had died without listening to this album, I would have been perfectly content. I did not miss out on a great achievement of humanity. Some songs benefit from the string arrangement, but others did not sound good. Especially One. Some of the performances also did not sound very tight, as one might expect of a band of this caliber. Overall, ass album.

Extremely pleasing album. Unlike a lot of music from the 50’s, I thought the album format wasn’t a hinderance to listening. The songs are reasonably varied and the recording quality of this album was like 20x better than the metallica album I listened to yesterday. Overall pleasantly surprised.

Really awesome album. My prior exposure to The Stone Roses was GH3, which slightly mislead me as to the rest of the sound of the album. Was expecting jangle but got a very sonically dense, slightly experimental, but very mature and entertaining album.
