1001 Albums Summary

I went into this album knowing a lot of songs already. Definitely a lot a heart put into it and they were just doing what they wanted, not trying to do what other people were doing or trying to fill a void in the alt scene at the time.

Definitely a theatrical performance. Altogether I thought it was a really interesting listen. Charismatic, and over the top are words that come to mind. In terms of individual songs, though, I found it hard to pick out specifics that would enter my playlist as songs that I wouldn't end up skipping each time because their one their own type of timing. I still really enjoyed it but don't know what to do now. Might re visit and try to pick out singles that I liked

Usually not super into dudes that sing like this but overall I thought it was a really cool album. Worth a re-listen

I don't usually listen to albums this. Usually more into jazz albums more focused on instruments. I recognize the talent that went into it and think that the album is pretty special. However, I don't see myself re-visiting soon unless there's a real certain occasion that it would make for some perfect background music. My issue with that is that it's a lot more than background music. I really do think it's a great album but from a more casual-listening perspective, I can't give it 5 stars. 7/10 Favorite song: I Love Your Lovin' Ways

This album was a really weird one for me. Liked the intro track, then my interest drastically faded in the middle of the album. Cool guitars can only take you so far. The highs were high, but the lows were lower. Can't say I'll be revisiting soon. Rating: 5/10 Favorite song: As Ugly As I Seem

I am not a very pessimistic person, but I felt that Bossanova underdelivered from what I thought it could have been. Same story as my review from yesterday, high highs with low lows, and I feel the worse parts were a lot easier to reflect on. Really disliked the "surfer music" to start the album. When it was good, though, I found myself restarting the tracks when they were getting near the end. Fave songs: Veloria, All Over the World, The Happening, Havalina Rating: 6.8/10

I understand that this is pretty relevant and all and how it's themes are pretty ahead of its time. However, I don't think it was fun to listen to. Not my kind of beep boops ig Rating: 2/10 No Favorite song

awesome and fun. super into it all rating: 9/10 Favorite songs: Sixteen, The Passenger, Tonight, Success

Not a big Nirvana fan. Come as you are is a good song though. Got about 1/2 way through. Review: 5/10

Fun - nothing overly special. Favorite songs: Still in Love with you, Dancing in the moonlight Rating: 6.5/10

Hated it. Least favorite type of album... supposed to be badass or make you feel cool listening to it, but completely misses that mark. I felt like a dumbass the whole time listening to this stupid pile of trash. Only reconciliation is that the last track was decent enough if I'm being generous, not even worth my time to go see what it was called. Review: 1/10

Listened last week. Another one that's just not my taste. I see why people like Bob Dylan, but his voice just doesn't do it for me. Also his harmonica was a lot all at once. Rating: 6/10 Fave track: Like a Rolling Stone

Really casual, semi-repetitive, easy listens. Perfect for where I'm listening at work. Not a lot of standout songs. Review: 8.1 Fave songs: Tiny Dancer, Razerface

Surely this was only played in Hallmark stores in the 80's. I don't think music could be more uninteresting. Being incredibly tame means its not necessarily repulsive though? Review: 2/10 No fave songs

I liked it. Very raw and emotional. First time listening to Niel Young. Apparently not his most appreciated album so I'm excited to hear more of his. Idk if its his style but the cracking in his voice makes me feel how shaken up and depressed he was making this. Review: 7.4/10 Fave songs: Speakin' Out, Borrowed Tune, Roll another number

Second album so far that I was already familiar with. Groovy, Jazzy, Cool. My dad always told me growing up that his two favorite bands were Led Zepplin and Steely Dan. I wasn't big into music growing up but the names made me think that they were metal bands because of Lead and Steel, which I especially didn't care for. Glad I gave them a chance eventually. Review: 9.3/10 Fave songs: Black Cow, Aja, Deacon Blues, Peg, Josie

Pretty cool. Powerful vocals and lots of unique sounds. Pretty different each song. Felt like a movie soundtrack Review: 7/10 Fave songs: Sleep to Dream, Shadowboxer, The First Taste

Not available on streaming made it tricky to listen to with youtube ads all throughout. Throws you right in on the intro track and doesn't stop the whole time. Basically 50 minutes of groovy funk. Kept my head bobbing the whole time. Review: 7.6/10 Fave line: "Chinese Laxatives - Sweet and Sour Bowel Movements"

Pretty awesome and will re-visit Review: 8.1/10 Fave song: Mystic Lady

All sounds fairly similar. Listened at work and it flew by. Nothing remarkable but I think it would be hard to find any real distain towards this album. Review: 10/10 background music - 6/10 active listen Fave songs: Lonestar, Painter Song

Sounded pretty cool but didn't knock my socks off. Review: 5.5/10

Really fun, upbeat, happy. Feels pretty timely with the World Cup. Has me feelin Jogo Bonito. Not gonna be a regular listen for me but it'll have an occasion. Songs all kind of meshed, each had their own unique thing to happen during it. Liked the drums a lot in Ojos. Rating: 6.7/10

mmm play that fye shit again Rating: 9.3/10 Fave songs: Let Down, No Surprises, Exit Music

Some really beautiful bits of what's overall a long and drawn out album. Need to give a better chance to indulge the lyricism a big more but for me it wasn't as atmospheric and moving as their big 4 albums have proven to be. Tentative rating: 6.5/10

Not a fan

I like the songwriting and story telling in each song. Wasn't an unpleasant listen by any means, just not a sound that I gravitate towards. Rating: 5.5/10 Fave songs: On the Road to Find Out, Miles from Nowhere

Her storytelling is what stuck out to me particularly. Found a lot of her songs to be fairly dull, though. Rating: 6.8/10 Songs: Emperors New Clothes, Black Boys on Mopeds

Lots of short and punchy songs. Didn't hate it or love it. Would listen again. Kinda started to lose me towards the end since a lot of the songs sounded similar. Review: 6.9/10

Really long and was struggling to get through it at times. Overall a rewarding experience though, some cool guitars scattered all throughout. Not something I imagine myself revisiting though. Rating: 6.1/10

Not something I'd usually be into. The album really grew into itself and I feel I grew into it as well. The deeper into it I got the more I found myself wanting to take a few moments to really enjoy what I was hearing for the first ever time, not something that happens a lot. Review: 8.4/10 Favorites: Energy Fools the Magician, King's Lead Hat, Here He Comes, Julia With..., By This River,

Thought I liked it at first but as it trailed on I found myself profoundly uninterested. That being said, it's not bad Rating: 5.2/10

Listened last week and didn't write a review. Listened on Youtube. I liked it. Review:7.6/10

thought I was gonna like it a lot more than I did. Disappointing. Review: 5.7/10

Pretty cool, really high energy, really liked the intros to most of the songs. Review: 6.4/10 Faves: Bodies, Submission, Holiday's in the Sun

Really enjoyed it. Lots of fun. Review: 8.7/10 Fave: On the Sunny Side of the Street

Didn't give much of a chance in all honesty but I could tell that I wasn't going to like it

Lots to enjoy here. Gave a second listen the day after because I couldn't stop thinking about some of the samples and loops. Review: 9/10 Faves: Only love can break your hears, Girl VII (Best), Spring, People get real, Nothing can stop us

didn't give much of a chance but I could tell that I wasn't going to be a fan

Fun but not crazy about it, 6/10

High energy. Would be really fun to see live but not my favorite to casually listen to. Instruments were a highlight for me but can't stand the vocals. Liked: Search and Destroy Rating: 4.6/10

Started out really not enjoying but it grew on me really quick. Great background music. Felt like I was in a menu for an N64 game. Only main issue was the songs were each a few minutes too long. Fave songs: Tracks 1, 2, 5, 7 Rating: 8.3

Wasn't the biggest fan. Felt kind of like an enchanted forest. Felt like I was forcing myself to get through it towards the end. Didn't feel like an album with a lot of replay ability for me. Pretty disappointed ngl. Biggest redeeming factor was the highs were really enjoyable Fave song: It's not up to you Rating: 5.1

Fuck allat
