1001 Albums Summary

Really enjoy this classic. Songs are so interesting throughout the whole thing!

This album was so dark and haunting. The production was perfect and though I’m disturbed I’m glad I listened

Was way more experimental than I went in expecting. Need to revisit bc I didn’t spend a ton of time with this one

This album is decent. I like it but overhyped

Need to listen more only got to listen once but I really enjoyed what I was hearing

I like the way the police combine reggae with rock very unique. Not a lot stood out to me specifically though

Clapton is a great guitarist and writer so I enjoyed this

Im not really into dj music but I was open minded and actually somewhat enjoyed this!

Good solid classic rock I like it

Need to listen more but overall liked

Solid but need more listens. Very hard rocking and groovy

Solid surfer punk music 🤟

This album rocks hard tho I don’t remember any specific songs

I liked the style and overall vibe of this album

Combining metal with Chicago style horns worked out really well. This was a fun listen

PET sounds is a classic world of sound

Honestly some really great music just way too damn long

A classic. This album expanded my mind the first time I heard it

Excellent songwriting. A lot of classics here

A solid album all the way thru

I quite enjoyed this one. Would be interested in exploring more

I quite enjoyed this. The title track was awesome and the Springsteen cover was unexpected but fun! Still nothing earth shattering though

Honestly very solid!!

This album was deliciously good!!

Absolute classic!

Was not super into this tho not awful. Arabian knights was fun

Expected to like this but honestly found it really mid except for a few songs

Enjoyed this as much as the last doors album!

Solid but not ground breaking for me personally

Knew very little about Neil but thought this album was super great and lived up to the hype!!

I liked a few songs but overall not big on it. 2.5 for me but I’ll go 2

This was extremely fire and fun to listen to

Very solid tho not as amazing as I expected. Just a bit derivative

3 but bordering on 4. I quite enjoyed this more than I expected

Beautiful, delicious exciting

Very solid. Awesome reverse sound effect that was unfortunately way too overused

It was really nice and groovy. Just nothing mind blowing

Pretty solid but nothing mind blowing

I thought this was nice but not as good as the other one

Didn’t love every song but it was def a vibe

I kinda didn’t get it

A vibe and a half

It sounds like Dear Evan Hansen’s mom released an album

I really enjoyed this. I can understand why it’s beloved and the appearance from booker t and the MGs was hype

Definitely some fun sounds and stuff and a little xtc vibe sprinkled in. Will be interested to listen again

Such a unique and interesting album I definitely want to explore it more

This was super interesting. I never realized how much metal took from blues

Perfected album

Totally different and unfortunately not as good as the previous Neil album. Still enjoyable though

Better than just the guy who did a lame cover of without you

Quite enjoyable close to a 4 star

Pleasant enough but not great

This album is really nice just like the previously flaming lips one!

Extremely solid and enjoyable album

Decent fun and experimentation

I really vibed with whatever this is

The beach boys are always fun and this was definitely enjoyable though not mind blowing

If you like lou Reed I’d say you’re likely to vibe with this album it was great!

This album is always so tasty. It’s kinda dry but grows on me every time

Very enjoyable but didn’t blow my mind

Ok but not really great

Not mind blowing but enjoyable

Overall pretty enjoyable

This was a deliciously spicy album. I thought it was great the mixture of Afro Cuba with jazz. Could move up to a 5 likely, but we’ll stick with 4 for now

This album was really enjoyable. Idk almost a 4 but I’ll stick to 3 for nkw

Pretty good not as good everybody knows this is nowhere but I can see why it’s a classic

Super vibey. I can see why Jeff Buckley was so inspired by this and I can see how Jeff worked this style into his own music

I’ve been pretty into jazz recently but this one didn’t do it for me as much. I still liked it but it didn’t blow me away

Honestly super great I even recognized song 2. This could maybe be a 4 but we’ll play it safe with a 3

Super short album but packs a punch

Waterloo sunset is an absolute classic. The rest of the album was fairly solid

Sounds like classic old country so it’s ok she has a good voice but was nothing special to me

Found this one to be a lotta funn

Really interesting. Moments where I thought this was a 2 and moments where I thought it was a 4. Closer to 4

This album took me by surprise and was really stimulating to listen to the whole way through. Seems really obscure so I’m glad I discovered it and I’m glad it snuck into the 2018 book release

Despite having one of the most amazing songs of all time, American Girl, and also breakdown is great but beyond that this album didn’t really impress me

I really like the, well, rawness. I could def see myself getting more into this

I think I must like this genre. Shoutout 1001 for putting me on

Charles Coleman almost ruined this album his part was just so weird. But Miriam was incredible with her beautiful voice and singing and I loved her style

Absolute master class love this album

This album was extremely interesting with the distortion I had no idea at all what I was getting into. I’ll start off with a 3 but I’d be super open to revisiting it

Great voice. A little too poppy. But I did think it was really interesting that the help cover was so unique that I didn’t even realize until like over half way thru. Just zoned out I guess. I also liked the 1984 cover

This album is fun I really like stand

Some good old American music. Probably liked this more than I expected. I liked the Lucy gray sounding song and it was fun hearing the original version of hurt. Probably close to a 4 but realistically a 3

I probably would’ve been fine had I not heard this before I die. Not bad tho

Thought this one was super poppy and fun and could be close to a 4

Amazing album. Not my favorite Dylan but an easy 5 star nonetheless love the electric style

Vibes hard for the first half. Then had to show gf for the second half and she loved it too

Def vibed with this could maybe even go up to a 4 potentially

I enjoy a lot of parts of this album. Could definitely creep close to a 4 but again keeping it at a 3

I enjoyed this album way more than the previous bjork album I had. I really like the sound she went for here!

Sounds like the training data for all those ai country songs. Not bad by any means but def could’ve lived without hearing this one

This album was slow at first but was super delicious by the middle and end

Good vibes for sure f the system right!! This is what country should be

Was decent. If you like the cranberries I could see you liking this. Unfortunately I’m not huge on the cranberries :/

Pretty long but had some really solid moments! Gotta love thin lizzy. I recently watched a video about how live albums are “faked.” Was def interesting listening to this with that context. I love the fake sound of it though it’s def a product of its time

Baba oriley is good but I just can’t really get into this album. Decent but doesn’t live up to the hype for me

Very solid classic blues. Love Newport folk so fun to hear something from Newport jazz

This album was super good. Amazing voice went perfect with the piano

Giving it a 3 but I could definitely see it going higher in the future. This really reminds me of the flaming lips so I could see myself getting more into it!

Super great drums and guitars. I was vibing hard with this the whole time and liked it a lot more than I expected to

Honestly could be super close to a 5. I love this album and the history of it and all of the songs have a great sound. It just gets a little bit repetitive and all the songs sound kinda similar. I could see this being a 5 eventually though

Hyped to see jim steinman on my album today. The steinman material was good. The sound of the album as a whole was really interesting. Maybe will come back to this but not amazing right off rip

This one was kinda fun def an interesting vibe to it but didn’t exceed my expectations

Didn’t love the orchestra aspect but overall solid album

This album is really interesting. Sort of like a mix of the band and the byrds and also some country. Some really interesting instrumentation here. Idk I think I’ll def come back here and check it out again. Also tears of rage is one of my favorite Dylan songs and I thought this cover was well done. Not fully sold it could be a 3 but I’ll optimistically give a 4.

Not sure why this is so highly regarded. Every song was decent but none really jumped out at me

This was super good I love Kanye as a producer. I love the walking bass in the intro. I love all the kids in the closing track and just the production and rap throughout is great. I wouldn’t be surprised if I come back later and bump this to a 5

“I’m like the dog I never speak but I still listen” great bar Loved the Kanye produced songs on here. Overall great album definitely Kanye level quality

Basically like David Bowie’s earthling if Bowie was talentless, overly edgy, and misogynistic. Idk can’t lie I like the way it sounds tho

obviously incredible album by Taylor. This blew my mind when I first listened because of just how different it is. I love the storytelling on No Body No Crime. Love the Bon Iver feature on Evermore. I love tolerate it. Love Dorothea and Marjorie. Just such an excellent and unique product

Like a fusion of Lauryn hill, Lily Allen, Frank Sinatra, Tom waits, Tim Buckley. So much going on here I really liked it. I could def see it moving up to a 4 in the future

Pretty interesting that this like defined a genre and stuff but not an absolute must listen today. Still pretty solid tho

Was kinda dreading listening to this after the last verve album and it was about what I expected

Figure 8 is the peak of Elliot Smith’s electric sound while not leaving behind his acoustic strengths. This album is what got me into Elliott Smith. I think when you hear the opening riff of “Junk Bond Trader” for the first time you realize you’ve stumbled onto something special. “Son Of Sam,” “Junk Bond Trader,” “LA,” “Stupidity Tries,” and more are excellent showcases of how Elliot’s electrical style that he started experimenting with on XO has reached full form. “Somebody That I Used To Know” has great finger picking similar to something that would’ve appeared on Self Titled or Roman Candle but this time becoming a pop hit. Figure 8 is also full of beautiful ballads including “Easy Way Out,” “Happiness,” and “Better Be Quiet Now.” I think ballads are one of Elliott’s greatest strengths. I also enjoy the instrumental add ons to this album “The Roost” and “The Gondola Man.” Finally “Can’t Make A Sound” is an incredible power ballad that starts off soft before ironically and fittingly building and growing into a massive swarm of different instruments and sounds. I think it’d be hard to make a case that this album is anything less than perfect. 5/5 Favorite Song: Junk Bond Trader

Pretty interesting mix of eastern music with electronic. 3.5

Really satisfying to listen to and interesting what they’re doing. 3.5

Really just classic Bob Marley. Nothing not to love here

This one has a really unique and nice sound to it. Kind of a product of the 80s. Kind of Bowie-esque but I’m here for it!! I especially like the really unique sound in dumb waiter

This album was decent I guess maybe yoko ono inspired?

This is kinda like Fiona Apple if she was not as great of a singer

Kind of a rammstein meets creepy carnival vibe. I really didn’t hate it though and even enjoyed it quite a bit at times

This was quite good. I love the singing and I enjoy the production from the time. Fav song was probably heal the pain for its XTC sound

This album was really good. Just completely hooked from the beginning all the way thru

Very interesting and peaceful. Cant say it blew me away but it was honestly a vibe to have on in the background. Kinda weird tho

Very solid pop album. The arrangements were a lot more neat than I ever realized. Shoutout @Romal

I don’t get how people don’t love ska. The trombone here just sounds absolutely amazing and raw. A couple songs are misses: stereotype and i can’t stand it. But then we get towards the end and international jet set is totally different from everything that came before it and totally groovy and a vibe. Most of the songst are really vibey
