1001 Albums Summary

mostly slaps. not too intense listening. liked it

never heard of them before. pretty good! groovy. would listen to this again

not my thing at all. got tired of it very quickly

what a fantastic live album. amazing voice, great songs, incredible & unique atmosphere from the crowd. i did not expect to like this as much as i did

never heard of them before. this slaps. cheery, optimistic. album ended just as I was getting slightly tired of it, so good length as well. will definitely listen to this again

hell yeah. smooth, nice, great voice. i only knew the most famous song, but the rest of the album is pretty great as well. will definitely listen to this again

i can see why this is good music but it gets on my nerves very quickly. not for me

meh. forgettable

pretty nice, especially at first. didn't blow my mind though

not for me.

i can listen to this, but i fail to understand what is remarkable about it

could not listen to this for the life of me. gets on my nerves very fast somehow

easy listening, reasonably nice music, but also very forgettable. eh

i only knew a few songs from the album, but the entire thing is great. smooth flow, great beats, fun lyrics. impossible to stay in a bad mood while listening to this. wanted to listen to it again immediately once it was over

i love portishead but i don't listen to this album so often. listening to it again, i remember why: i find it much harder to get lost in the music with the omnipresent voice. it's fascinating in a way, but i don't actually enjoy it all that much. hard to rate really

it's alright.

i cannot listen to this while doing something else, which reduces how much I can enjoy it, but this is a pretty incredible album. not my favorite from him though

wow. i hate this. i'm actually kind of surprised by how much i hate this

meh. I don't really see the point

very different from what i usually like, but this was surprisingly pleasant to listen to. either there's something special about this (the voice maybe?) or maybe i should just listen to more folk

nice! i didn't know about this at all. listened to it twice in a day. great music, will definitely listen to it again

constantly swinging between "oh this is kind of interesting" and "urgh this is getting on my nerves" while listening to this. overall not a great experience

beautiful voice, touching lyrics, but i struggled with the music. i can understand why this is a special album, and i'm kind of sad that it's not really my cup of tea

never heard of this, what a great discovery! i don't understand half of the lyrics but i'm vibing. listened to this twice today already, might give it a third listen. some songs are pure bangers and others are strange in a compelling sort of way. kind of reminds me of gorillaz? really loved this album, will definitely listen to this again and try the rest of his discography

absolutely not for me. had to stop after 2.5 songs

only knew a couple of songs from this, liked them but never though of listening to the rest of the album. but the whole thing is lovely! i quite enjoyed the pace and the variety.

i don't get why radiohead is such a big thing. i guess i can listen to this, but i don't see what's special about it

not for me

very interesting album, i don't typically listen to music like this. i didn't love it but probably would enjoy it live

very strange & unusual. pretty good? probably very fun live, or when paying attention to the lyrics. wouldn't listen to it casually though

rarely in the mood to listen to this, but it slaps

super fun to listen to at first; reminded me of the stuff i used to download on napster and blast in my room as a teenager. gets old & repetitive pretty quickly though. good to put a song or two in a nostalgia playlist (even though i don't think i actually knew any of the specific songs), but i'm probably not going to listen to the entire thing again

this is nice. i don't think i'm often in the mood for something like this, but this is still lovely music. would listen to it again

exactly the kind of album i would likely never have discovered without this website. smooth, groovy. i'm still vibing after two consecutive listens. will definitely listen to this again

ok i guess

started off strong, but i got bored of his voice very quickly

this is the album that convinced me to send a few coins to this website's maintainer. i vaguely heard about leonard cohen before but did not expect to like his music as much as i did. incredible voice, groovy tunes, wonderful lyrics. fuck yes give me more of this

this style of rock is probably never going to be my absolute favorite thing, but as far as it goes, i like it a lot more than other albums in a similar genre. will probably listen to it again at some point

very much not for me

second album by this band in a few weeks. i was pleasantly surprised by the first (unhalfbricking), which i liked even though folk isn't usually my thing. i liked this one much less somehow. not sure why?

what the fuck did i just listen to

hell yeah. great voice. great vibes. not mind-blowing but definitely very good. will definitely listen to this again

i'm sure this is culturally significant for some reason. however it is also unlistenable. when "scum" started playing i was like "oh at least this is an ok guitar riff" but then the guy started growling again and that's when i stopped

i don't like the beatles at all and don't understand why so many people love them. this album was actually better than expected, or maybe my tastes have changed so i dislike them less than i used to for some reason. still not something i would want to listen to regularly though

i rated document, another album from the same band (which i didn't know prior to this website) with 5 stars so i was pretty excited to discover this one. sadly i liked it a lot less. it was alright but didn't really click nor made me want to listen to it again

meh. pretty boring

it's ok music, in a fun, easy-listening, old-timey kind of way. not really the kind of thing i would want to listen to regularly though

forgot all about it the minute it was over. only fun thing about it was taking a look at the music video of the last song in the album, and seeing that the audience looks just as bored as i was while listening to this

i listened to a bunch of stuff he produced or was a part of but never to a solo album (if you can call it that) of his. very glad this website corrected this oversight; i was stressed this morning because of work stuff, and snoop's smooth flow helped me relax, then dre's angry lyrics gave me some power back. fun skits here and there, a+ beats on the entire album. damn the 90s were great for hip-hop. can't wait to see what else i've been missing

damn, 2004 kanye was a different dude, huh. self-introspection and political consciousness! wild. anyway pretty strong album, didn't transcend me but definitely good stuff.

sometimes on this site i listen to a rock or punk record whose historic significance completely goes over my head. this one didn't! i rediscovered this gem and could see how mind-blowing and influential it was for the time. imagine listening to this in the 70s! but even beyond the historic aspect of this, it's incredible how well the music held up. still a fantastic album to listen to while you're driving or chilling. i should listen to this more.

previous radiohead album left me completely indifferent. this one didn't, the instrumentals are very weird and somewhat compelling? so this album could have been a fascinating experimental electronica sound that i would have wanted to engage with. but then the guy starts singing, if you can call it that! this voice! my god! how can you people stand it! makes it all the more disappointing that the instrumentals really could be interesting in another context.

forgettable

it's not exactly my thing, but i can see the appeal. as an aside, what a cover!

it's never going to be my favorite thing, but i was pleasantly surprised compared to the other album i got from them a few weeks ago (abattoir blues). at least this is kind of interesting and the voice is much more tolerable

pretty nice! i liked this significantly more than how i normally like this sort of old school rock'n'roll. easy listening. might listen to this again

kind of boring

i thought this was surprisingly meh considering i had absolutely loved another one of his albums (guero) when this website suggested it a few weeks ago

pretty good. some songs are really great and others a little less so but overall it's nice to listen to

really liked this at first; great instrumentals and a kind of fun voice. sadly i grew tired of it (especially the voice, but i think the style got a little bit repetitive too) after 5-6 songs

this is such a fantastic jazz album. i knew the couple of most famous songs but i would have been entirely unable to name the band previously, and it was great to discover the rest of it. every piece in here is wonderful, and the pace of the album is perfect. will definitely listen to this again

one of these albums that starts fairly strong, but quickly becomes forgettable after a few songs: interesting at first, and then the rest becomes kind of a blur. too bad

great album. didn't enjoy it quite as much as autobahn but still the atmosphere is phenomenal

kind of fun at first, repetitive after a while. decent, not great

i understand why this may be good or even very special music but it just bores me to hell

great album! lots of fun and energy and joy in here, and the instrumentals are excellent. i couldn't listen to this on repeat but i will probably listen to this again

hey look, another unremarkable indie rock record. i don't dislike this, but i am a little perplexed at why this is on here

this wasn't my thing, but at least it was original and interesting; very different from what i knew about. three stars because i wouldn't listen to this again, but i appreciated this a lot more than the many other albums i rated three stars because they were ok but forgettable

i had heard of lorde but never listened to her. i've been missing out: this is absolute fire. compelling voice, beautifully strange lyrics, instrumentals going from groovy to adequately haunting. listened to this thrice today already. will likely listen to it a lot more in the future. this is the kind of stuff that makes it worthwhile to get through however many mediocre brit pop and uninspired indie rock albums on this list

very nice. groovy, fun. very different from what I normally listen to. a whole mood in a good way

not really my thing. the tunes are nice but i didn't love the voice

good music, only knew the famous songs but the entire album is worth listening to. production is impeccable and her voice really is special. felt like the album was a bit too long maybe? and some songs aren't quite on the same level as the well-known ones. still, will probably listen to this again.

good stuff! not transcendent but i will likely listen to this again. above average for how much i enjoy rock

quite nice. interesting, unique voice, good instrumentals, messed-up lyrics in a good way. i like it. wouldn't listen to this in over and over again but once in a while as something different, definitely. lovely discovery

in the beginning i thought "meh, this is boring". it quickly became clear that actually, it's worse than boring, it actually gets on my nerves very fast. i'm sure it's important and influential and whatever but it's a very hard no from me

genuine surprise, i enjoyed it more than i expected; normally i really struggle with old rock. the first couple of songs didn't spark that much joy but i somehow got into it. great guitar solos. i wonder whether this website is actually changing my taste in music: maybe because it already got me a few old rock records (that i mostly was not a fan of), now it helps me appreciate the classics a bit more than before?
