1001 Albums Summary

ive only heard a handful of talking heads songs (the popular ones) so i was really not expecting this album to sound like That - kind of reminds me of the manhunter soundtrack - had already heard once in a lifetime and was expecting the rest of the album to sound like it but i was wrong - seen and not seen kind of freaks me out + sounds like a stripped down version of this is your life - i like how eerie listening wind is - the overload sounds like a slowed down interpol song interesting album, starts off super funky and slowly starts to become more sinister towards the end. cant believe this is the same band that made psycho killer

previously heard: beetlebum, song 2 (listened to best of blur a lot when i was 13), you're so great (i distinctly remember being 16 and my english teacher asking us to bring a song's lyrics to class the next day so i went home and spent HOURS trying to choose something only to settle on this one. it wasnt even that serious idk why i was doing all that) - took me five years to learn that damon albarn didn't sing you're so great... havent sat down and listened to it properly in a while but now that im reading the lyrics again im remembering why it meant so much to 16yo me - love death of a party. im about halfway thru the album now and the switchups between tracks are giving me whiplash - chinese bombs sounds quite suicidal tendencies - strange news from another star: simple but effective, could be on ziggy stardust and also oddly reminds me of kid a - essex dogs gives me the same creepy feeling a day in the life does. also i end up saying this for every spoken word track but this one rlly could be on the fight club soundtrack i should probably rewatch it at some point what im getting from this is that damon albarn has a lot to complain about. some great songs surrounded by a bunch of noise, might listen again

i really don't know what to expect the only supertramp songs i know are breakfast in america (thanks patrick stump) and the logical song nothing really stood out to me other than the outro of the last track, all the songs blended into each other, was mostly bored while listening, might just be bc its not what i usually listen to but would probably not listen again

only heard the title track before this, excited to listen beauty and the beast: immediately funky start to the album joe the lion: fun guitars if a bit messy sounding, interesting to read about chris burden's works while listening heroes: desperately hopeful/bittersweet esp as he starts yelling as the song progresses sons of the silent age: singapore moment... so bleak black out: this one makes me want to jump around instrumentals v-2 schneider: plane passing by sense of doubt: impending sense of doom, haunted house moss garden: unexpected japan moment??? neukoeln: impending sense of doom pt 2. i feel like im lost with nowhere to go the secret life of arabia: movie end credits super fun listen, nothing felt redundant, would listen again (at least the first half)

i only know one beck song (think im in love) and ive never heard of this album before - some parts reminded me of radiohead's amnesiac - i thought it sounded like the dust brothers and then i realised they produced the album - some songs would be ok as background music but the rest was just a mess frankly impressive how an album with so many different things happening in it still managed to sound so boring

such a lovely voice, i always wondered why i dont listen to more jazz... the improv is rlly fun too, would definitely listen again

(got two jazz albums back to back) interesting enough, would not be mad if i was stuck in a lift and this was playing. i like the second track more

i wish i could've liked this more but it was such a chore to get thru even as background music :/

this is the first album i've gotten that i already own a physical copy of :) was literally cataloguing my record collection and seeing which ones were on the list right before this. also i got another miles davis album the day before yesterday which is kind of freaky... no notes, solid album

i liked the beatles as a kid but i realised ive never listened to any of their solo work... surprisingly had a lot of fun listening to this

thought i'd like this but it was a pain to get through and way too long, i think robert plant's voice just isn't for me

was looking forward to this :) have some of the yeahs in my playlists but never sat down to listen to a full album of theirs... this was such a fun listen and a nice break from all the old white man rock ive been given the past few days

have never heard of this album before, did not know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! i enjoyed the diversity of sounds, was captivated the whole time

quite fitting that this is my second bowie album with the first one being heroes... my first 5 star album in the course of this project! wish i couldve experienced this album at the time of its release but unfortunately i was too busy being 8 years old

wouldve been a 2 if not for well i wonder

was expecting more judging from the reviews, nothing overly offensive but i got bored once i realised every song sounded the same. wouldn't put myself through listening to the whole thing again

was looking forward to this, the title track was in my current rotation for a while before this and i love what frank ocean did with it too. karen's voice is so beautiful, didn't know she was the drummer too... rip karen you were so cool

after years of my dad calling fall out boy (one of my favourite bands) fatboy slim i finally listened to a fatboy slim album and it was just fine

my favourite beatles album when i was a kid :) kinda funny how this is the second album i've gotten this week featuring a song that frank ocean has sampled on blonde

a friend introduced this album to me a few years back and the outro of good morning captain has been haunting me ever since... creepy and fucked up with perfect replayability i love it

probably would've loved this in 2019 when i was a depressed 14 year old on tumblr

nothingburger album

i listen to one every time i’m powerwalking through the train station trying not to be late for class, glad to know the rest of the album fits the same purpose too

love his voice, not unlistenable but i found this so horrifically bland, feels like he's capable of writing good songs but just chooses not to

wanted to give 3 stars bc the band was solid but took one away for letting him be the lead singer

felt like one of the bullies from It listening to this, 3.5 stars

insanely catchy, felt like i was watching a movie, don't know why the ratings are so low i feel like some of you just don't know how to have fun

she makes bitterness sound so good :( rip diva

feels like i've been getting so much metal lately and i'm not complaining at all... fucking epic album, no skips, made me want to start galloping like a horse, shoutout orion for hard carrying my instrumental study playlists all these years

they weren't lying about the band sound being big

the beatles meets sufjan stevens meets the jungle book? was probably as confused listening to this as they were making it

i can't imagine putting so much effort into making an album and still having it come out so incredibly boring... 7 tracks in right now and i've felt absolutely nothing and you're telling me there's still 17 more to go was debating between 1 or 2 stars but fiddle about helped me make up my mind genuinely who listened to this and thought this is fire let's include it never felt so relieved as i did when it finally ended i think this is the worst out of all my 1 star albums

this was everything to angsty teenage me... i can't be near you the light just radiates...

it's like a guy standing outside my window with a guitar who won't go away

i have this in my collection :) been listening to black album for half my life at this point because my mum passed down all her old music to me, i remember listening to friend of misery on the school bus in the morning and thinking i was the shit

was like wtf when i saw the band name but honestly had fun listening to this... so refreshing to see an album that doesn't take itself too seriously on this list

i don't get why the ratings are so low this was so interesting and wonderful to listen to after a long day... sounds like totoro if he was in requiem for a dream

always happy to get a metal album from the generator :) kind of boring at the start but definitely picked up in the second half, 3.5 stars

my 50th album! was raised on depeche mode so of course i love synths :)

this was so ahead of its time, kinda scott pilgrimy indie rock

if michael jackson was in new kids on the block? but worse?

epic car seat headrest the gun song reference

music i would hear in a spa or shopping mall toilet

my 67th album nice... already had this version of jumpin jack flash in my playlist bc they were playing it before the main set when i went to see glass animals Which is a miracle bc i hate the rolling stones. cool concept and was indeed melodious and touching but a bit samey

was hoping to get 69 love songs for my 69th album but this is great too :) grew up listening to the cure, loved this album in my goth phase, still love it now <3 sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at the edge of the world... p.s. saw the top review about calling anne rice overrated but owning all her novels and giggled bc i was drawing the vampire armand while listening to this

didn't think i'd like this bc of the lame album name + i don't really listen to folk but this was nice and jazzy and fun

was filling out job applications while listening and career opportunities started playing :/ my life is a joke

finally my first radiohead album from the generator! not my favourite one but kid a mnesia was the first ever record i bought so there's some sentimental value... also can't listen to this one too much bc it just takes me back to my covid lockdown dissociation days

i like music that kind of sounds like shit, 3.5 stars

reheated radiohead nachos

wish i was getting a divorce so i could listen to purple rain the way god intended
