1001 Albums Summary

Not as good as desire Favorites: last 4 tracks Starts strong and ends strong but middle tracks are boring Actually like 3.5

Good voice Fun tunes Favorite song: just a little lovin, breakfast in bed, just one smile

Sounds like mix of Pink Floyd and the Beatles Lots of variety Gets slow and boring at the end of some tracks (moonchild) Moonchild is really boring past the 2 minute mark Favorite tracks: epitaph, court of the crimson king

I had never heard of CHIC before this album so this was my first real exposure to them. I definitely have heard some of these songs at some point because they sound vaguely familiar. “Good times” is the first track and is the one that sounds the most familiar. There’s no reason for this track to be 8 minutes though. This seems to be a pretty common theme across the album of having a groovy fun original 1-2 minute segment and stretching it out way further than needed. “A Warm summer night” and “my feet keep dancing” are the other 2 biggest offenders of this making the first half of the album kinda a slog to get through. The second half continues the trend but because the songs are 2-4 minutes rather than 6-8 it’s a lot less noticeable and more manageable. I really do like the songs here and they sound good just not when I’ve heard the same thing over and over again. “Will you cry(when you hear this song)” is my favorite on the album because I find it to be the most interesting. While this one does have some repetition it’s only 4 minutes long. Overall this album wasn’t bad but also wasn’t anything too special. I can’t see myself coming back to this one anytime soon. The album gets 2.5 stars, decent

Catchy tunes Pretty similar sounding throughout Slightly underproduced sound but it works really well for this album Favorites: its not true, much too much, my generation

Good but also it’s in another language so it’s harder to get into I like the background singers Probably like 2.5 Favorites: ponta De lança africano, taj mahal

This was a pretty pleasant surprise I really love the singers voice it’s unlike anything I’ve heard before Super cool The bass is really good on this album Favorites: stop your sobbing, up the neck, precious, lovers of today

I didn’t realize changes wasn’t Black Sabbath that’s cool Apart from that it’s just classic Black Sabbath like with first track Favorites: changes, wheels of confusion Probably actually 3.5

Reminds me of eagles Favorites: candyman, friend of the devil

These songs all feel very dramatic and exciting. I really like this this was a good surprise Split feels very fun and exciting as well Almost reminds me of Agatha all along songs I think because of the voice I like the male singer that occasionally appears and his voice works really well with utes Lowkey female meatloaf You were meant for me builds throughout the song and is just so fun and exciting. I wish this was the closer instead because the true closer is weaker than the rest of the album Favorites: the case continues, split, you were meant for me Probably closer to 4.5 but I’ll give it 5 case 4 feels too unfair

Classic Coldplay Great album

Average middle school hallway experience

I felt like I had already known a bunch of these songs since so many I heard a ton when I was younger Actually 3.5 Favorite: he wont go

Wow! Perfect 5/5 #3 album oat Favorites: the whole album

Boring kinda Favorite: lsi, leb whol

I find this album to be a very good introductory album to Nirvana. Not just if you’ve never listened to them but also if you’re like me and only knew nevermind. The songs off of nevermind were the only ones I knew at first from this album but I quickly grew to really appreciate these other ones. This album has incredible tracks spanning all 3 of the bands albums while also including really great covers of a few different songs. This album was my first introduction to “about a girl”. I really really like this song and it’s one of my favorite on the album. It goes so hard. “The man who sold the world” is a pretty controversial one but in my opinion I find bowies to be infinitely better than this cover. It’s definitely not bad by any means whatsoever but bowies is just better. I find it crazy how many people only know nirvanas version of this song. Maybe it’s just because I’m such a huge Bowie fan but I’d take the original version of the song any day. The other covers here are really good such as “Jesus doesn’t want me for a sunbeam” and “lake of fire”. I really like the meat puppets covers and it definitely intrigues me to listen to them. My favorite cover is also the closer of the album, “where did you sleep last night”. I really like Cobain’s vocals here. I think I prefer the acoustic version of “all apologies” to the original. The guitar is so so beautiful. This really is one of the best songs ever recorded and is easily my favorite Nirvana song. The guitar intro is also just so iconic. This album really left an impact on me after I first listened and I’ve continuously come back since. This may be my favorite Nirvana project just for how well spread it is throughout their whole catalog while including additional covers. It gets 4.5/5 stars, nearly flawless. My favorite song is “all apologies”

Very very solid Definitely surprised me Reminds me of Coldplay but less British Favorites: pounding, m62 song, there goes the fear

Back half is the one of the best runs of songs ever produced Favorite: octopus’s garden

Wish it was longer literally 2 minute average song for only 20 minutes total All very similar Very punk This album is just really mid tbh All the songs are the same hardly any diversity And the song formula they found just isn’t that good Green Day level production with not as good lyrics or music Favorites: betray Like 2.5

Just like… not very good Background Noise 2/5 Favorite: title track I guess

It’s been so long seen I’ve given this album a listen. I used to always overlook this album I feel but this listen something about it changed. I can now confidently say that this album is one of the most engaging and interesting pieces of music I’ve ever listened to. There’s so much going on and so many different kinds of things going on yet somehow they all combine to make this masterpiece in a way that’s so unique. I really don’t know if any other band besides the Beatles could pull this off. The opening track, “back in the USSR” is one of my favorite tracks and opens the album on a fun upbeat sound. I also love the nod to the beach boys in the middle section. “Glass onion”, while not being one of my favorites musically, I really like lyrically and I love all the little references to previous Beatle songs. “While my guitar gently weeps” is in really close contention to my favorite in the album. It’s so so beautiful and is one of my favorite George Harrison songs. I really love all these super beautiful songs on the album such as with not just “while my guitar gently weeps” but also “dear prudence” and my favorite, “I will”. “I will” is one of the best love songs ever written and is one of my all time favorite Beatle tracks. Disc 2 is for the most part weaker than disc 1 but it’s still really fantastic. A lot of the albums quirks come out a little more in the second half such as with “revolution 9”. “Revolution 9” is infamous for being known as the worst Beatles track and I think out of context that mostly holds true. However, despite its obvious objective flaws, I really really like it and it’s such an essential part of the album and it wouldn’t be the same without it. This album really impressed me and I don’t know how I ever felt differently about it. It’s really hard to say because the Beatles have a few albums that I consider to be perfect but this one I’d say is my number 3 Beatles album behind abbey road and revolver. This album will obviously be getting 5/5 stars, perfect

I think this genre just isn’t for me 2nd disco album I haven’t cared for too much 2.5/5 Favorites: all about love (first impression)

Sounds like any other 60s animal named band but that sound is very good and is very good here Care of cell 44 has vocals very reminiscent of rod stewart 4/5 Whole album is really good so it’s hard to pick favorites Favorites: time of the season, maybe after he’s gone, hung up on a dream

Sounds very much like ccr and those style of bands Pretty fine 3/5 probably There was a few that were pretty good but a majority of the tracks were just… there Favorites: sometimes in winter

Really is one of the best albums of all time Every song is a hit Favorites: god only knows ofc but my other favorite is I know there’s an answer

Really high highs but really low lows Production is really great Almost similar to tonight by Bowie I like the women singer Maybe closer to 3.5 Favorites: heartland, title track

Pretty average Nothing I found to be extraordinary 3/5 Favorite: radio

First half is way better but the 2nd half also has all apologies Nevermind is way better than this album A lot of it is non understandable screaming 3.5/5 Favorites: heart shaped box, serve the servants, all apologies

Still can’t personally get behind all the hype of this album Just not for me really 2.5/5 Favorites: king kunta, mortal man, i

Very traditional Radiohead sound I think it’s done better in other albums though 3.5/5 Favorites: how to disappear completely, everything in its right place, motion picture soundtrack
