1001 Albums Summary

Rating:★★★★ Good concept album, lots of angry and scared lyrics, and the main character trying to escape and blame others for everything until it is no longer possible.

Rating:★★★★ Never heard of this band before, but I dig the Irish folk/punk thing they have going. Music that makes you want to dance and think about what they're saying at the same time.

Rating:★★★★ Nice Classic Rock album. Easy listening. I enjoyed the guitar solos.

Rating:★★★★ Good classic rock. Lots of long solos, which are a favorite of mine. Kinda reminds me of Led Zeppelin, which is one of my favorite bands, so safe to say I enjoy the sound of this album.

Rating:★★★★ very nice jazz, I enjoyed listening to this album. great big band sound. also Count Basie has some early career roots in KC, which is known for very nice jazz music.

Rating:★★★ Surprised me. Not bad at all. Most songs to me were nice to listen to and catchy. Nothing too crazy though.

Rating:★★★★ Masterful example of rhyme, flow, and lyricism. The way they make these words tie together is astounding. Some of the lyrics make me think "why??", but those examples are few and far between. This is a great album, and you can really hear how this album inspired the future of hip hop and rap.

Rating:★★★★ Great Jazz. Nice easy listening.

Rating:★★★★ Lots of hits. I remember half these songs from the radio growing up. Good, solid album overall

Rating:★★★ Idk man, not my favorite. There were some great beats but I didn’t really dig the voice.

Rating:★★★★★ Legendary start to an album. Maggot Brain is a wild album. The titular song Maggot Brain was a wild ride, full of emotion. Big fan of the whole album, and I've only listed to it one time. Classic sound. Funkadelic.

Rating:★★★★ Good album. Songs sounded a bit repetitive sometimes with the organ sound. Classic hits and a few new one's I haven't heard. Overall good.

Rating:★★★ Most classic sounding rap I've ever heard. I assume this is where the beastie boys get their flow from. It's kinda cheesy to listen to nowadays but I bet back in the day it was the jam. I can respect that this changed a lot culturally. There were some rhymes in there that were pretty nice, and messages that are timeless in their meaning. Overall, decent album.

Rating:★★ Kinda forgettable. Liked Life During Wartime but otherwise a bit strange.

Rating:★★ ZZZ. Couple good songs. album must’ve caught me on a bad day, but I tried to listen to it two different days so maybe it’s just kinda boring.

Rating:★★★★ Classic Album. So many great songs that I find myself coming back to, so once I saw this album pop up, I knew I was in for a treat.

Rating:★★★ It's alright. A couple of songs like Father Figure and Faith were decent, the rest were a bit too much for me.

Rating:★★★★ Poetry

Rating: ★★ It's alright. not my style of music. random AH mention for some reason. otherwise, just some 80s piano pop that I find a little too slow for it to catch my attention in a way that makes me want to listen. she has an interesting way of singing.

Rating:★★★★ I liked this album. Nice classic rock.

Rating:★★★

Rating:★★★ I liked this album ok. Might listen to a few songs again.

Rating:★★★★ Loved it. I understand people being mad at some of the lyrics, and there were a few that make you scratch your head. Still a good album.

Rating:★★★

Rating:★★★

Rating:★★★ Finally, some country on here. Never heard this album before. Nice Writing, sometimes a bit boring in my opinion but otherwise I enjoyed it.

Rating:★★ Big fan of his son, glad they only met once so that this guy didn't rub off on Jeff.

Rating:★★★★ Good, "Old fashioned" Hip Hop.

Rating:★★★★ Really good! Classic songs I remember listening to when my dad played them. Still as good as I remember!

Rating:★★★

Rating:★★★

Rating:★★★★ Man lots of fun songs here. le freak is a classic, and the follow up in savoir faire surprised me. It wasn't as fun down the stretch in the last few songs but otherwise solid album.

Rating: ★★★★ Some nice songs here, surprised I'd never heard of this album. Really liked Pacific Ocean Blues, Dreamer, and Thoughts of You. Thoughts of You kind of reminded me of an early Coldplay song, which I am a big fan of. Overall solid. There were a couple points on the album where I found myself waiting to get to the next one, one example being Time. The wikipedia article on Dennis Wilson is interesting, but I don't really take any of that into my rating of the album.

Rating:★★★★ Classic. Lots of great songs here, not to mention the intro title track that everyone's heard on the radio. a great group of songs.

Rating:★★★

Rating:★★★

Rating:★★★ Some good moments, some weird stuff, but who doesn’t like some weird stuff sometimes. This isn’t one of those times for me. Ok though.

Rating:★★★ A bit different than I am used to but that is the reason why I'm doing this whole One Album A Day thing. I liked a lot of the beats, and some very funny lyrics at points. Pharrell song made me laugh so that's probably the highlight of the album for me. Mid overall.

Rating:★★★ Ok Album. I liked some of the songs, but I really liked the last song. Otherwise, lots of same sounding songs that made me zone out a bit.

Rating:★★★ Pretty good old time soul music. Reminds me of some Fallout type music. Not to shabby at all.

Rating:★★★ Nice Funk. Liked the guitar solos, and the sax solos were great! The end of Cafe Regio's was probably my favorite solo. Do Your Thing is my favorite song, I'm a sucker for long drawn out solos and the entire song is just a big jam session. Not sure why the other songs didn't resonate with me the same.

Rating:★★★ I liked Time and Aladdin Sane, and the rest had its moments. I don't dislike the album but it isn't great for me either.

Very Nice! Some good blues mixed with some sounds I haven’t experienced before, but I can dig it!

not my cup of tea

One of the best albums I've heard so far this experience. Loved the high voltage rock and roll.

meh ok

ack...

time to go listen to "Bob" by Weird Al Yankovic again...

great album, three little birds best song

great surprise! liked the instrumentation

It was good but not super good, I liked it for the most part but the day after listening to it, I cannot for the life of me remember any of the songs on the album except for Phantom of the Opera, so...

SIGH.... It was ok. Nothing too crazy. Hope I get something better soon, been serving me mid the last week or so

gotta give Mizzou legend Sheryl Crow her due, its a pretty decent album. got a classic with "All I Wanna Do", and a few other nice songs that I enjoyed.

always wonderful to listen to. such an easy listen, soft jazz and beautiful singing.

This album is hard to find, very few of the songs are on streaming, had to rely on good ol' YouTube for them. Overall, not as good as Maggot Brain but still awesome.

w

better than I thought, but not quite good enough for 5

So good, didn't know what to expect going in but I enjoyed it a lot!

you can tell it's his last album. It is fairly somber and melancholy sounding. Beautiful music but honestly I could not stand his "singing" voice. I can respect the art though.

WWWW

Classic Rock, little bit of Beatles style harmonizing and junk like that, fairly vanilla sounding rock for the 60s. Not bad, not amazing either.

milquetoast

MIDDD and besides the first song, don’t really appreciate the couple songs that have outdated views on women and they were boring too so

Surprised me on how much I enjoyed some of the songs. Almost all of them I can imagine being sung by another similar artist like Taylor Swift.

I enjoyed the homemade sound that this album has. A few great songs on here like That Would Be Something and Maybe I'm Amazed stood out to me. A few other songs that kind of resonated with me was Glasses, Man We Was Lonely, and Momma Miss America.

I enjoyed the flip from acoustic to electric halfway through. It is interesting reading about how audiences reacted back in those days when he started doing that. Unfortunately, streaming services these days took out a lot of the in-between crowd noise that was present on the physical versions of this album.

pretty good

Very Abstract and Calm. Moonshake was the standout to me on this album. Overall Solid but maybe a bit abstract for me at times.

Amazing. I had heard the title track "Black Sabbath" before, and knew it was great, but the rest of the songs blew me away.
