1001 Albums Summary

Some real classics and overall like how this album switched up the sound quite a bit but kept the vibes high - big fan

Too heavy for me - a couple of fab intros that got me fired up (paranoid, iron man) - otherwise I found myself zoning out a lot with all the noise

Enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would… Second half was much better than the first with some fun songs. Overall songs were good but maybe a bit long and repetitive individually

Overall decent vibes - a bit boring at times. First song and last song were the best and fell a bit flat after that

Cannot fault bittersweet symphony- absolutely timeless. Fell pretty flat after that for me

enjoyed for the most part - a couple of standouts - some bits felt redundant/same-y but overall decent album for me

So much fun

Just fab - great sound/songs/vocals - a real classic

Did not like this at all - but enjoyed the use of cowbells. How far was a song I enjoyed but that was literally it out of the whole thing

Decent and fun!

Respect the art but Michael Jackson is not really for me. Do love Billie Jean though!

Some good songs some that felt a bit long and noisy

Really enjoyed this one!

The main singer had a unique voice but I thought every song sounded the same - not my favourite Just a quick gripe that this album is included but not let go by avril lavigne????????? Not sure about that

A bit long and a bit heavy for me but I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would

This was so painfully boring. Not for me at all

Shockingly I managed to listen to this full album and I really enjoyed it. No album should be this long though. I’d rate it higher if it was shorter to be honest.

Interesting and different but not really my fave

Love OutKast and this album contributed to such a unique sound and trends in the 00s. Some fab songs but felt there could’ve been some fat trimmed from both discs to really elevate it

Started off okay but got a bit redundant so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I might at the beginning

Disregarding today’s Kanye this is one of the greatest albums of all time. No skips, all songs have a fresh sound. I would listen to this anytime

I just don’t really get it with Bruce Springsteen but go off I guess

Really liked this one. The first song will never not remind me of the movie robots. Thought the sound and instrumentals were nice and fresh - pleasantly surprised! Would rate it higher but there were a few too many filler songs

Found myself quite bored with this one

I surprised myself by actually loving this album. I loved the through line and the elements of rock, pop and jazz. So much fun. I would say for me it’s more of a 4.5 but I enjoyed it more than most of my other 4 star albums so bumping it up. Really loved!!!

A lot more fun than I was anticipating! Even had my dog dancing in the kitchen

Not offended by this album or anything but wouldn’t listen to it again

An interesting reflection on that period of time. I found it really fascinating how a deep message of the album was about the racism in America and police brutality and really took a firm stance towards equality yet in the same vein was so so deeply misogynistic- I guess again of that time but the level of misogyny meant I couldn’t enjoy this album at all or any of the songs really. Would never put this on or listen to it again. It was a really hard one to finish.

Lots of fun and very different - I imagine this album is nostalgic if you grew up in Britain in the noughties! Enjoyed the listen

Fine but a bit boring. Didn’t think this album was something very special.

This is for sure one of my faves of all time time. It’s definitely upheld by some of the bangers like Lodi dodi but I mostly enjoyed. For me the album is between a 4 and a 5 but closer to the ones I voted 5 previously so gets a push up!

Mehhh. Nostalgic of that noughties not sound but I find this sort of music a bit redundant and whiny.. it was just an okay listen for me

In theory I should love this album. I mean Xtina has one of the best voices of our generation and there’s some absolute classics in here but I’m clouded by the fact that this whole album feels quite inauthentic. P!nks album Mizundazstood (which I don’t think is on this list? BIG MISTAKE. HUGE.) literally ran so this album could walk. P!nk convinced Linda Perry from 4 non blondes to come out of writing retirement to help her write Mizundazstood as a fresh and more authentic sound than what a lot of the pop girlies were getting pitched at that time (think peak Britney Spears) and Mizundazstood was amazing and ground breaking - so much so Xtina asked Linda to write stripped for her to have the same perceived authenticity and relatability. Because I’m overwhelmingly a P!nk girly this loses major points because it’s hard not to see it as a less good replication

I absolutely love beck. So chill and his sound is quite unique as well. Fully aware my review is bias due to significant childhood nostalgia of my parent owning and playing this CD loads when I was young. Don’t care. Still obsessed.

Enjoyed this a lot. Lots of different sounds, genres, instruments. Very pleasant listening

Easy listening. Really enjoyed

Fun! Beatles are just good vibes. I enjoyed this album but it’s not back to back bangers like some other ones.

Not my favourite from beck but I like the uniqueness of this album and how it plays with sound and genres

I disliked this album so much I couldn’t wait for it to end. It was such a chaotic jumble of things but not in a fun creative way more in an unsettling disturbing way. I thought I finally enjoyed one song on the album before I realised it had just ended and Spotify had shuffled something else. Yikes. This will literally never cross my desk again.

Enjoyed this album! Lyrically it was really strong and a couple of different sounds in there but also some of the beats and backings were one note

I on lot listened to disc 1 because I didn’t have 4 hours but does one was fun and flirty!

A good blend of genres and sounds and tempos. Really enjoyed - great album to listen to on a sunny day

Quite long and a bit one note. Was waiting for a couple songs to really pep it up but it just didn’t seem to come. Didn’t hate the creative sound just got a bit boring for me

Better than their other album on this list. The Celtic influence and feel was fun. Not sure I agree they should have 2 albums on this list - more of a one hit wonder to me if I’m honest. That being said I didn’t hate listening to this album but won’t rush to do it again.

I thought I’d like this more than I did. Fun sound in the beginning but got boring really fast

I actually really like u2 but this isn’t my favourite album. Only one really stand out song for me.

Some great songs some just okay. Overall enjoyable enough

I didn’t really get this

Ok background music.. but otherwise.. what?

A bit boring but pleasant enough and inoffensive

Good with a couple great songs but the album got a little boring with a lot of the songs having a similar sound

I absolutely love The Smashing Pumpkins! This album is great… A little bit too long but it has so many different sounds and so much creativity. Would definitely listen to this again.

I found this mind numbinglt boring

Good vibes. Really enjoyed the instrumentals.

I thought this was fun!

Something so homey and nostalgic about this album. Absolutely classic

I forgot how good this album is. Would happily listen to it back to front any time

Not for me

I like this to be fair. Really fun music that I would absolutely dance to any time. Would probably not listen to this full album again but can appreciate it in small doses

Not for me

Enjoyed this a lot more than the previous black sabbath album. Thought this had more depth and felt more blues inspired rather than ultra heavy. Some of the songs really gave me tenacious d vibes which tickled me

Enjoyable to work to but not a huge stand out for me

I liked it but it felt very samey

I actually really loved this. Fresh sounding with lots of different pop and funk elements. The neptunes production of this era just never misses for me. Good vibes!

Actually quite fun

Prefer this era of Michael Jackson for sure. Would definitely get me on the dance floor

I couldn’t get into this at all. Why were the songs so long?

I just found this boring personally

This was okay!

A really strong album. Come together as an opener is just so peak. Immediately into it. So many good songs and very few just okay ones
