1001 Albums Summary

Easy listening. Sexy music. Not too memorable though but very soulful voice. Does drag a bit but good background music.

Quite boring and all sounded very samey. Not memorable.

Simple cowboy songs. Was nervous when listening to The Hanging Tree due to the connotations. Liked In the Valley. Not quite mariachi music with repetitive story telling.

Enjoyed listening to this. Knew a few of their songs beforehand but really liked Don't Stop after Waterfall as it messed with my mind with all the reverse.

Enjoyed it. Guitars were technical and interesting. Pleasantly surprised when a song with a Welsh name popped up, "Bron-yr-aur"!

Groovy and psychedelic. Enjoyed the experimental sounds. Got more mainstream towards the end but can definitely feel the influences...

Gritty, distorted and screechy vocals. I like the rawness and catchy rhythms. Whips you into an energetic, punky frenzy. Then a dramatic tempo slow down for the latter half. Fun album.

Slow, uninteresting and doesn't go anywhere. Sounds very samey all the way through. Repetitive and boring. 1.

Extremely boring and repetitive. Doesn't go anywhere. He really loves a two chord repetitive structure. Was excited to hear the beginnings of some bossa nova on Missing, but then it was quickly very obvious that it was just two boring chords throughout. 1/5

Distorted guitars with added dissonance. I liked parts of the clashes and chaos but it just goes on for way too long. The lady singing feels more like shouting and it does start to grate after the first phrase. Album duration felt like an age to listen to, especially with numerous 7 minute tracks. Noisy for the sake of noise. 2/5

Anarchy and chaos but kept interesting. High energy music to get you into the zone and fired up. 4/5

Enjoyed the melodic metal. Really impressed by the intricate guitars and finger tapping techniques. Great tempo throughout for a steady head banging experience. Great double bass pedal action on the drums. Love a good time signature change here and there. Impressed with my first proper venture into Metallica. 5/5

What a mess. Awful noise. The sound of the non-stop saxophones were grating. First album I had to skip through. It was all the same mess. No structure, nothing memorable, just a cacophony of caca. Even Tidal didn't want it on their platform so had to listen to it on YouTube. 1/5

Really interesting musically. The melodic phrases, melodies and chord progression in their songs are intriguing, it doesn't go where you'd think it would go. Love the 80s synths and the whole atmos around it. An intelligent band worthy of the "sophisti-pop" label. 4/5

To begin with, I was confused in whether to listen to the Iggy mix or the Bowie mix. Listened to both and the Iggy mix was compressed to hell and distorted so badly, but added to its charm. The Bowie mix sounded really tinny and thin but was a lot clearer and crisp. I carried on with the Iggy mix. Overall it sounded generic glam rock and wasn't that engaged with it but it wasn't a hard listen. 3/5

Easy listening. Country and western but popular. Not too memorable but has a good feel about it. 3/5

Love the melancholic chord progressions. Clever and interesting throughout. Kevin Carter what a gem. Didn't know many of their hits were crammed onto this one album! 5/5

Is it the Swingin' 60s or Britpop 90s?? Love the fun sound with clever blue notes and kooky chord progressions. Enjoyed rocking out to the high energy and groovy vibes. 5/5
