1001 Albums Summary

"duh, duh, duh, we're doing the fucking song, duh duh duh" No but the start of this did surprise me, I liked it. Then by the end it did just degenerate into normal whiny Radiohead for me

I already love this album. One of the first I ever bought with my own money Not listened to it for a while, it is still super weird and great

love

More like Bruce Harmonica-steen

It's like Pixies, I like it I want to give it 3.5

oh THAT guy again

dad rock kings

oh god not again honestly do not get why Radiohead are so beloved

Title track is good - the rest isn't really grabbing me Some of these later tracks are nice. I think its probably a grower

Super early emo. Can tell its like, influential but didn't enjoy. I want to give it 1.5

some absolute bangers on here

watered down punks with only 1 good song Although honestly that song isn't even that good

i love this, can't believe I never heard it before

I can't believe this is 1972, it sounds so much more recent all their album covers are so creepy

who told this guy he could rap get your head out your arse boy

Not really my thing but its pleasant

can't wait to see the Crampo review anthems for teenage boys who don't want to clean their room

NOBODY LISTENS TO TECHNO It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be

Liked it - but feel like their second is better. Maybe 3.5

gorgeous - 5 for Case of You

This is great

Deeply weird - but I don't hate it.

HONESTLY. This is misogynistic dross. I truly couldn't wait for it to end

So Christmassy xxxx Honestly feels like it could have been recorded this year, which is both impressive and depressing There's one track that sounds like they just tried to cram in as many annoying noises as possible, that has marked it down for me.

urgh, really all the worst people. Listening to this his weird pivot looks even weirder. But it really is a good album, its tough. But then the misogynistic lyrics mark it down for me.

loved it

Just kinda boring, to me

none of the good 'uns. And if this wasn't the Beatles it would be totally forgotten.

Lou, could you lighten up a little? bleak. I like it loses points for the kids on Kids

ew, good to know But I enjoyed this like a lot more than I thought I was going to

False, it is actually much longer than that

Has anyone ever listened past the opener? It's dated but not in a good way. Boring pop that was probably very exciting at the time.

I actually really enjoyed it, never listened to her before

Rob, could you lighten up a little?

Fine, nothing grabbed me (but Alright is a tune)

It's one note. But its a very good note. I wish 'I'm on Fire' wasn't so creepy

how drunk was he on the first track I didn't really care for this, it was a bit of a slog

I hate feeling like that white person who's too into 90s hip hop but I liked it a lot

Its making me want to listen to Graceland (that must be on here, right)

I am loving this and I am so relaxed

Probably never would have heard this without this site tbf Pleasant but not really my thing

This is nice and got a lot weirder than I expected, in a good way. Song 2 is overplayed but slaps. It pleases me that it is the second song on the album. And that the album cover is a blur.

ohh this one It was probably very groundbreaking but is now just elevator music

bit of hot potato I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but I always think they would be better with a different vocalist

I enjoyed it, but it's very of its time

2+ hours?! Ok it is 2 albums I guess Hey Ya is one of the best pop songs ever though. The whole album(s) a lot of fun but goes on way too long. Do always lose points for including a kid's voice, in my book

What GCSE art student drew that cover I can't believe this is from 1989, it feels so modern. It's not really my thing but I appreciate that it is good

Note, just the first 4 tracks on Tidal! The whole thing is really unique, its wanky but I loved it. I enjoy the bird noises

I didn't know they'd been around that long

lovely noises Frank This genuinely gave me a headache

This is so surprisingly dark. It's a real downer.

Not on Tidal! Go on youtube. There's not all the wikipedia-listed tracks on one playlist but you can find the tracks about. It's nice enough but it feels like background music Listen for a specific phrase (hint, on Dejame en paz)

kinda generic punk. The last track is lightly noncy?!

Its good its just hard to listen to with all we know now

news

whiny voice its cool that you have a theramin. But give it a bit of a rest

Is this Neil Diamond No but this is so good, never heard of it before. Gorgeous lyrics

Trying to see this with no preconceptions, and its just great.

its nice, but very twee. Very 2008, quite boring

I've always found their mixing a little weird. They always sound like they're floating a few floors above me, in a tin can I'm sure its very technically impressive but it just doesn't connect with me. 'One' kinda slaps though.

There's some good stuff here but its very inconsistent. 'Fuzzy Birds' is really rough. The rest is like, fine, but doesn't really belong on this list.

Probably a victim of its own success, in that it was so influential that it now seems really dull and samey.

Weird and gorgeous

Really enjoyed it. I think its likely one that needs a few listens to really get into. So a 4 for now but could be a 5 in future.

Swimming Pools is a highlight for sure. Its definitely one that you need to study the lyrics.

I think you'll enjoy 'Almost Cut My Hair' love me some dad rock, and this is the daddest rock

another one that I reckon would be a 5 after a few listens.

A beautiful and sad album in the same bucket as Bowie's Blackstar.

There's definitely filler here where there didn't need to be.

I chose the Bowie mix
