1001 Albums Summary

Some good guitar solos. Not bad but didn't really grab me as some rock albums do

Psychedelic rock. Very fun Melodies and good vocals. Surprisingly enjoyable

That’s a lot of harmonica. I’m not a big fan of his voice, a bit too whiny. Some very long songs as well made it a bit of a difficult listen at points

Really enjoyable. Best one yet. Mick Jagger with some excellent vocals and some really well put together songs.

Surprisingly extremely catchy. Probably the best album I've had so far. Lots of songs from movies. Without You was the best on here

Very weird, medieval style folk music. Not a fan

some very long songs but pretty enjoyable. Maybe a bit forgettable

Nice. Need to give it another listen as I wasn’t focussing but sounds good

pretty dull, not doing much for me yet

grew on me but still pretty average

Huge W - 4 all timer songs in one album

Very fun old school hip hop

Just a bit vanilla. Kind of like a fifa sound track but not the good kind

Such a good jazz album. Straight into the playlist

Pretty weird and way too long. Not a fan of the rock opera style tbh

Another pretty boring rock album. All the way from Memphis was okay but nothing special

Very much enjoying this one. Feels like proper rock having come off the back of The Who and Mott The Hoople. This is an album that is made to be turned all the way up

Christ this is so boring. Every song sounds the exact same

Live recording of a smoky jazz performance. This is my first experience of Tom waits and enjoyed it.

Wtf is this? 2 HOURS. I’d never heard of space rock and hope never to again

Felt a bit dull and nothing-y. After a bit of research, it's clear why. Quite corporate and formulaic. Maybe if I'd grown up in this era, I'd feel more strongly towards it.

I really wanted to love this but none of the songs really jumped out at me. Maybe it will grow on a second listen

Good. Probably not as good as some of their later work but can’t complain

Good rock album with strong vocals. Songs sound a bit generic though

Very strange. Inoffensive but I did forget it was playing through my headphones for about half an hour. Very nothing-y

Fantastic. Raw, aggressive, passionate

Couple good songs but far too long that you just lose interest

one of the best of the 2010s. Absolute banging ballads throughout with a couple of more forgettable songs thrown in

I get it. It’s dark, brutal, brooding. But also a bit boring. The intentional droning sound makes it sort of drown out at times

What on earth was that

Smooth, sexy, but a bit repetitive

I want to hate but it’s not easy

Quite nice and sweet

Grew on me after a few listens

Honestly really good but just too long. Would have been a 5 if it had been cut back a bit

Very forgettable… meh

they keep talking about Lynyrd Skynyrd which is pretty annoying. A few decent rock songs on here though

needs a 2nd listen. Quite enjoyable but didn't wow me. Nice folk music

Just scraped a 3 because sharp dressed man was pretty good

Nice but don’t like live albums

Not as bad as I was expecting. RnB influenced and a really strong voice

I don't really get it. Needs more of a hook for me, whereas it is 90% talking over some decent instrumentals

Pretty sad but didn’t really connect with me

First real introduction to funk. Sounded good but didn't really connect with me

No notes. Beautiful

Really unenjoyable noise

Beautiful. I don’t know enough technically to say why but it was beautiful

Not bad. Very very American but it has catchy hooks and strong vocals

Honestly I was expecting better but common people is enough to get it at less 4 stars on its own

A Latino style jazz. Not really for me but I’m sure it’s technically good

Alien abduction crap. My personal favourite was oxygene number 3, or was it number 4. At least it was short

Another pretty dull, forgettable album for me

Surprisingly fun. This is the most fifa album I’ve heard in a while. Stuck between a low 4 or high 3

It’s all a bit too vanilla for me. Inoffensive enough though

Paint it black was good

She has a nice voice but I just don’t understand it. The songs are weird and all blend into one

I’m sorry I actually can not do this

My first grunge album. I like the vibe and 2-3 songs really stood out to me

An hour and a half is far far too long. A couple of nice songs but also some lyrics that haven't aged too well. I do quite like the 70s sound though - a bit Elton John-y

The songs are all like 8 minutes which is my first red flag. Giving it the benefit of the doubt for now… mushroom was a shorter song and was a bit more palatable but then there was a 16 minute monstrosity

some really strong songs on there. Beautiful voice

Honestly underwhelming. Too experimental for me

A weird combination of radio jingles. Can’t believe this made it onto this list. Who is replaying this?

First introduction to black metal as a genre. Obviously this was quite influential but the sound just isn’t for me.

When I hear the words 'concept album' I immediately worry. Then I hear it's a two-sided 90-minute album and I know my commute is doomed. A few nice songs in here but they're just completely washed out for me

My second Marvin Gaye album but still no Beatles is suprising. Once again, very enjoyable though

It grew on me and hopefully will continue on the second listen, although not many stand out songs in my mind

Really sweet, well written songs. Also technically very good

This is such a hard album to rate. He’s undeniably talented and it’s clear he’s going to go on to big things at this time. But some of the lyrics have aged so poorly… well they can’t have been great back when this came out but they’re somehow worse now. I’m still leaning towards a 4 just due to pure talent but we don’t quite get the best of him here.

Tiny dancer is a huge song but it surprisingly backs it up pretty well. Some of his best work

Insanely good. Feels so significant, what a brilliant voice. My only criticism is that the songs are a little repetitive. But they are repetitively brilliant
