1001 Albums Summary

Just didn’t hit for me. All the songs blended together and sounded the same. Might be good background listening.

Loved the whole vibe here. Could listen to this straight through. Love the creativity and style!

Inject this straight into my veins

Solid album with some great hits. First time listening to it all straight through!

It's good - A Case of You especially. I don't really think it's my style and the tone does get repetitive. But I appreciate the music!

Just ain't my thang

Weird but cool style. Makes me want to go to a dive bar real bad.

Overall a good album, with some highlights. Beyond their most popular hits here, I really liked XYU. As many have said, a little too long.

I loved it, then I was annoyed, then it grew on me, then I was irritated, then it won me back. Love the brass and the horns and the whole vibe there — unfortunately most of the singing just isn’t for me. I think “Geno” was a standout. I had no idea this band was also responsible for “Come On Eileen” (which I also find pretty annoying) and I’m a little surprised I’ve never heard any other song on this album before. Interesting, would listen again.

Maybe it was the 80 degree weather, maybe it was driving with the windows down, but I thought this album rocked

Besides a few good songs, it was just okay. Easy listening.

Great background jazz. Isn't leaving a holy-cow impact, but it sounds excellent.

A lot of albums have juice, but this one’s got the sauce

First album I had to stop listening to. It feels like a 13 year old came up with a line they thought went really hard, and then decided to repeat it and repeat it for the chorus of each song (derogatory). GIRL WE GET IT! Unfortunately this didn’t land with me at all, and I turned on the album so much I knew I wasn’t going to get anything more out of it.

Pure fun! Loved it

Just not my thing.

Makes me wanna slam my bedroom door real bad. 4 stars

Surprised by how much I loved every song here. Back to Black and Rehab are great, but all these others really impressed. Wow!

It was all right! Nice chill background music almost, but nothing that really popped out at me.

Shocked by how much I loved this. It had funk, it had stank, it was really fun to listen to. DANCE unlocked some core memories playing it on a dancing game on the Wii in the early 2010s. Great intro to this style of music

Unfortunately I didn’t jam with this. There were some good moments, but 85% of the time I felt flat. Most of the lyrics were pretty odd. Felt like background music, but not in a good way.

A little fun, but not my bag. Sometimes offputtingly crude. Makes me just want to listen to the Roots.

Wasn’t underwhelming or overwhelming, just whelming, good background music to put on. Last track may have been the best

It’s a high 4 for me - loved the sound and style. Can’t believe I’ve never heard them before!

Never heard of Hookworms, but this was another album that I enjoyed. “Boxing Day” was especially fun. This isn’t 100% my jam but I couldn’t help being sold on it.

It’s a high 3. Really easy and nice to listen to, but not much special besides a couple hits.

So here’s the thing: this fucking rocks

Songs of note: porcupine, in bluer skies it’s aggressively fine

Neither great nor terrible. Good rock. Didn’t know they did “Here Comes Your Man,” but all the other songs were easy to listen to. Solid music for driving.

Waffled between 4 and 5 stars but man at the end of the day it’s just really that good. First time listening to a Doors album all the way through and was surprised how much every song hit. The ratio of songs to classics is insane

Fine, but it got tiresome real quick. After the first few, which I really liked, I found the style and tone mostly repetitive, but it made me realize I want more oldies!

Admittedly, I’ve never heard most of these songs before. I might have known 1 or 2 songs by the Rolling Stones off the top of my head. So I expected a good album and got an incredible one. The ratio of tracks to bangers, so far on my journey, is beat only by Michael Jackson and Prince. I knew the Rolling Stones were classic… and now I know why. I’m shocked by the low average score!

HELL YEAH BROTHER. First time listening straight through a Led Zeppelin album. They found a new fan in 2026

It’s okay. Listened to maybe half - partly just a busy day, partly I couldn’t make myself listen. There were a couple that were good, but the music didn’t make me feel anything.

Some fun background music. I actually love albums like this, where I can’t tell where one song ends and one begins. It was fun to work out to. But at the end of the day, there weren’t any tracks to latch on to. A fun time in the headphones.

So much fun! I knew of Run DMC but not what their style was like. Very enjoyable to listen all the way through, even if the style got a teensy bit repetitive. Feels like a shame giving it only a 4, but feels right. The first 4 tracks of this album are an incredible listen.

Tbh I didn’t get very far in this, for lack of interest. After listening to the first half, it just didn’t grab me.

Not bad by any means, but having listened to it a day ago, it’s underwhelming and forgettable. Can’t remember what it sounded like!

Tbh I enjoyed this. No one song really stuck out to me, but it was a fun inoffensive listen that I would go back to one day.

You know what, this slapped. Can’t believe they’re not in the zeitgeist more. 4.5 stars

Hard to beat the elevator music allegations. Doesn’t mean it was a waste though
