1001 Albums Summary

Dark and atmospheric. Seems to run out of steam through the back half, but great energy on side A.

Fun album. The blues influence is front and center on this one.

Super chill album. I wouldn't say this is a consistent album, but the highs are spectacular, the lows are just kind of boring.

Not their best album, but it still rips. Listen to it as loud as possible.

Dylan just isn't my thing. I don't mind some of his stuff, but a whole album is just a slog.

Good album, the Speakerboxxx half runs circles around The Love Below. There's better Outkast albums, but I'm not mad about listening to this.

Such a fun album, keeps the energy up from start to finish.

Loving the jangly guitars on the upbeat songs. The ballads drag down the energy too much.

Runs a little long, but it's a fun album.

Doolittle came up first for me and I couldn't recall why I disliked the Pixies, listening to this album brought it all back. Musically, it's not bad, but the vocals strip all my enjoyment out of the experience. Just weird for weird's sake, I hate it.

Really solid and consistent album. Man on the Moon is such a banger.

The upbeat songs are fun, but there's not enough of them. The slower stuff just drags and grinds the album to a halt. Probably better served as music on in the background instead of being listened to intently.

Fun, quick listen. The singles are great.

I'm not qualified to critique jazz at all, but it was a good listen. Very smooth and chill.

Very fun album. Came into it really only knowing the hits, but was nice to hear how musically interesting the entire record is.

It's fine. Most the tracks have something fun going on musically. L'America and The WASP are terrible.

This sucks

Surprised how short the album was. I enjoyed it.

The bluesy stuff is good, but when they lean more rock is where this really soars for me. Great album.

This is wussy music for wusses, but damn it's catchy as hell. Do yourself a favor and listen to the covers of The Scientist by Aimee Mann and Willie Nelson, they both blow Coldplay's version out of the water.

It's a classic. Not as thrashy and much more commercial than their earlier stuff, but it still rips.

It's a fun listen, very catchy songs. Mostly made we want to listen to Duran Duran.

Shame on me for not having listened to this band earlier. This rips.

Really solid and consistent from start to finish

Damn near perfect front to back

Not a Dylan fan, but this wasn't bad. Side A is much better than B, but that could be due to fatigue from listening to the whole thing.

Roadhouse Bluse, Peace Frog, and Maggie M'Gill are all great blues rock songs. It's all the other stuff I can't stand.

Moody and ethereal. It's good, but not a ton of variety in sound throughout.

This is a fun one, love the raw sound on it.

This was my first full Elvis album listen, really enjoyed it. He's got a great voice and the band is super solid.

This album had a stranglehold on me in college. Definitely sounds a little corny now, but can't deny how good this is.

Super fun album

Couldn't do it. There's so little coherence to it both musically and lyrically.

Not bad, probably would have been more impactful if I had listened when I was younger.

Really solid from start to finish. I loved it.

Perfect album, no notes

It's fine, not very interesting, but I didn't hate it.

Couldn't do it, the vocals are so off-putting and way too close to jam band territory.

Loved it. Little bit of whiplash on the lyrics song to song, but the music is great.

Love her voice. You Don't Own Me is incredible.

ATCQ rules. The music, the flow, it's all great.

This is a slightly gothy and more fun version of The Doors, I love it.

Perfect album, no notes

Not the best Sonic Youth album, but they're still awesome.

Fun listen. Four Cornered Room kind of grinds the album to a halt, but everything else is enjoyable.

Not wall to wall hits like Morning Glory, but I'll never be mad about listening to this. Everything sounds like it was engineered to play as loud as possible.

The first 4 songs weren't bad, that may be the most Dylan I can take at a time. Ballad of a Thin Man and Highway 61 Revisited are incredibly weird songs.

Better than I was expecting. Felt like I was assembling a heist crew.

I haven't listened to him enough. Didn't know any of these songs, but they're all great.
