1001 Albums Summary

I don't truly have the authority to declare this but Oasis are honorary lesbians for this one. Favourite song: Don't Look Back In Anger

Crawling King Snake is THE song to do kegels to The keyboard on this album is straight fiyah Favourite song: Been Down So Long

I expected it to be boring and too radio-friendly but it was moody and a couple of the songs crushed my heart, so good job lads favourite song: The Scientist

:ratjam: Favourite song: Tentative Decisions, Psycho Killer

idk how I had not listened to Nick Drake until now, this is very much my shit Weasel mentioned!!!!!!!!!!!!! Favourite song: One Of These Things First, Sunday

this album was so important to 15 year old me courtney I'm so sorry people tried to yoko you favourite song: reasons to be beautiful, use once and destroy

seeing the drake feature on this felt like finding the itchy tasty journal entry in a survival horror game favourite song: good kid

this album sounds like when you get a hot black milk tea with brown sugar on a day that starts rainy but then the sun comes out and all the plants look extra green and lush and life feels worth living favourite song: Para Machuchar Meu Coracao into Desafinado into Corcovado = heaven

This probably fucked if you heard it live but this album was kinda boring :x Bloodsucker was good tho

this is going on repeat all day baby

a pretty good album that is about 10 songs too long. it's a shame what happened to that billy boy, too. fav songs: zero/here is no why/farewell and goodnight

They should blow up the dinosaur song on the radio instead of the lolita one I think I'm scared of Sting did he just say "there's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread"? Fav song: every breath you take!!!!!!! (king of pain is a close second)

nah.

I started checking wikipedia pages before reviewing because of this one

From the first track I felt like this album would be better without vocals, but when i really paid attention to the instrumentals they sounded like customer service line hold music. it's just not my thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm surprised by how mad people get about slightly weird folk music. This is a solid album. fav songs: a sight to behold, this beard is for siobhan

This album gave me something I didn't know I was craving: an album where the narrator in nearly every song is an absolute shithead, in completely different ways. I didn't go into this expecting to hear a deadbeat dad ballad, but I was into it. favourite songs: The Fear, Help The Aged, This Is Hardcore

The beats reminded me of earlier Kanye and lo and behold, he produced this album. I was really charmed by the synth in the intro, in isolation I think I'd have guessed it was from a steven universe song lol fav songs: Love Is..., Real People

It sure is Motörhead. fav song: Iron Horse/Born To Lose

This is a fun album, definitely one to come back to. It's moody with enough energy to keep me swaying in my seat. fav song: bring the pain

I really can't bring myself to listen to this guy

Green Onions is a great track. The rest are pleasant but nothing I'd get the itch to hear again. Worth a listen!

I didn't hate this album and I wouldn't be mad if someone put it on at a party, but it felt a bit overwrought, a little try-hard. The stock samples (eg the clapping), flowery lyrics that gesture at poetry while not really synthesizing into anything very interesting, the orchestral instrumentals layered with synth samples that were lovely on some tracks but cacophonous on others - I wanted it to work. But it didn't really come together the way I wished it did. bro he just pronounced tether as "teether" to rhyme it with ether, fuck off. songs where the instrumentals worked best: stork & owl, golden age

Classic rock is hit or miss for me, and this album is no different. Witchy Woman and Take the Devil are standouts, the rest are a little generic. Chug All Night is one of the most off-putting euphemisms for sex I've ever heard. fav song: Witchy Woman

This is a very 90s record, for better or worse. The production is excellent, the flow is right, but I had to stop paying attention to the lyrics a few tracks in. Still, worth a listen.

Dreamy, pretty, but the unintelligible lyrics are a creative choice I can't fully get behind.

Delightfully weird and beautiful. I would not willingly listen to beatboxing or wet mouth noises on a record from anyone else. fav song: oceania, mouth's cradle

This is the type of album you hear when you go to a cafe with a DJ playing a set at 10am

I'm fond of this album and of PJ Harvey's music, but I wouldn't consider it a must-listen album. Hearing Thom Yorke on this was a nice surprise. Their voices mesh in a lovely way. fav song: one line

This album is all the way too long for how uninteresting every track is.

Sunday morning coffee music. Jojo reference.
