1001 Albums Summary

An oldie but goodie. So much heavier than Nevermind. My fave track is still Pennyroyal Tea.

Just can’t get all the way through it. Never been a big Beatles fan, especially the earlier stuff. That goes for almost anything from the early 60s. I acknowledge that many have stood on the Beatles’ shoulders, and for that they deserve great recognition. But it just doesn’t do it for me.

Enjoyed this a little more than I thought I would. I like the propulsiveness of Sinister Purpose.

Meh. It’s ok.

A masterpiece except for YYZ.

Had never listened intently to JM. This album was surprising. Sophisticated chord progressions and amazing sounds all around. Joni’s voice is really just perfect. Call me a convert.

It grew on me. It got increasingly charming.

Had no idea who this was but I ended up enjoying the album. The language is beautiful and I liked the organic sounds of the three piece. Each instrument had some pretty great moments. Love the orchestral strings, parts of which sounded like they were lifted by NERD.

Jesus fucking Christ. This album is so annoying. I’m in a worse mood than usual, but my god this album is tedious. He’s just copying black artists who already did this, and way better. Every song has the same chord progression, every song is basically the same. Never has an artist done less with some pretty great sounding supporting cast members.

It’s aight. I gave it three stars out of deference to the art of jazz. And the musicianship is as always amazing. But the shapes they create are a little more 50s than 60s for my taste. I didn’t t love the flamenco guitar. Still, guys like Mingus are pioneers and always kick ass.

A classic, landmark album. Fun enough to listen to but lacking some of the more adventurous sounds of the bebop era. The instruments sound really good. It’s well-recorded. Just a little predictable at this point.

This album just made me mad. It is terribly boring.

Nice. It disarmed me. I’m not a big fan of country but this was nice.

Mostly boring. Some flashes of cool sounds and 70s vibe, but could be much better.

It’s fine. Kind of sad. Guys singing harmonies in the sixties depress me.
