1001 Albums Summary

If nobody got me I know the drum machine got me

Really cool album! Never heard of it before today but the combination of 60s rock and big brass really works for me, at least on most of the tracks. Feels like proto prog with the long songs that shift style and tone dramatically throughout. Best Song: God Bless the Child Worst Song: And When I Die

Not bad but incredibly goofy. Best Song: Day at the Races Worst Song: What's Golden

I really enjoyed this! Funky but a bit melancholy too, my kind of jam. Best Song: Pitche Mi Worst Song: Badou (but it's still pretty good)

The base average of music to me Best Song: Dull Life Worst Song: Skeletons

Great album from Albarn with a fantastic flow I'd never heard of before, but also makes it way weirder that there's not demon days or plastic beach on this list Favourite Song: A Soldier's Tale

Completely serviceable album and I get why it hit for the oldheads who wish music like this was made more today, but it does not hang with the actual classics

Just straight up worse than its contemporaries. Just give me another Led Zeppelin or King Crimson album instead

Depending on the day I might say this is the best album ever made.

Very fun album with a lot of fun touches like the Gunbuster esque interstitial Speakerboxxx throughout that album, and really really enjoyed The Love Below as a goofier more experimental album, but it is just so long as a double album it is hard to listen to as one thing.

It's good, I do not want to give the impression this is not good. James Brown is a legend and I love a lot of his work. That said, live albums do not do it for me and without the allure of new songs I'd rather just listen to the studio releases. Also it's soooo short. Excited to get to James Brown's proper albums, wait getting word from my editor, there are no other James Brown albums on the list, what the hell.

Back to back live soul albums, and this one is quite a bit worse, just did not hit for me at all.

how did people not know he was gay

Fantastic album, one of the best to ever do it. Non stop bangers that work both as singles and as a complete album. RIP Tears for Fears you would have loved the Assassin's Creed Unity E3 2014 World Premiere Cinematic Trailer

I liked this quite a bit, alt country is just emo.

Just a fantastic album, love some gloomy goth shit

Getting a lot of albums I listened to extensively in my teens lately, still really like this one but compared to the string of bangers we've had this is not quite a 5
