1001 Albums Summary

I had mixed feelings about this one and it was hard figuring out how to rate it. I admired their revolutionary and experimental style but I am not sure it worked for me. It was hard figuring out their point of view. Some of their songs had a very hard metal vibe, but then they would do something that felt 70’s rock. If I had to describe them I would call it Folk Rock Metal. It was an interesting concept but I am not sure it really came together.

You cannot really go wrong with Nirvana. I always love it when a band releases an acoustic album. I think that is where they really show their chops as a singer and musician. The album had a nice balance between some of the more popular songs and some lesser known songs.

I found it to be very repetitive so it kind of got boring after a while. There was not a lot of complexity lyrically or musically.

It was a pretty solid album. It had some surprising elements and a depth and complexity.

Surprisingly very good. This one was quite unexpected and I really like it. It was edgier, darker and harder than I would have thought.

I was conflicted about this one. On the one hand it was repetitive which I usually don’t care for, but it did do some interesting things with sounds. I wished it had more substance but it kind of worked and all in all wasn’t bad to listen to.

I loved this album. It was funky, fun and unique. There were some great interesting sounds. So different. I really enjoyed listening to it.

It was hard to rate this one. On the one hand it wasn’t my style of music typically but on the other hand there were some cool things about it. It a funky sort of jazzy and disco vibe. I liked how retro throwback it felt while still being young and fresh. There was also a good variety in the sound.

This one was interesting. It started with this disco funk but as it continued the music became more experimental with electronica vibes. The songs were an interesting mix. Some of the songs had a sort of rebellious vibe while others came across as superficial club/dance songs.

You cannot really go wrong with The Rolling Stones but this album was killer. Loved how the social commentary of some of their songs is still so relevant.

I never considered myself a big Led Zeppelin fan. They have a few songs I listen to and like but I never really followed them. I have to say this was a really good album. Not as predictable as I thought it would be.

It’s hard to go wrong with the Doors and this was a great album. Loved the Bluesy vibe.

I was kind of on a rollercoaster with how I wanted to rate this one. The start of the album I felt was pretty mediocre and not Limp Bizkit’s best work. But considering the mood I was in when I stated listening it was working for me. Then one of my favorite songs of theirs played and after that the rest of the album started getting better. Now I like Limp Bizkit don’t get me wrong but I also honestly have to say I never considered them to be brilliant or the best music ever but when the son Hold On started I was blown away. That was an amazing song by any standard.

Fun and Funky and really different. I quite enjoyed this one. I know it came out in the 60’s but it had such a 70’s vibe. It was like an early precursor to 70’s music.

I am actually a fan of The Who and I think they have some really good stuff but this album just did not work for me. I don’t think is showcased The Who very well.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this one. I have to say it was interesting. I liked the originality. There was some good instrumental. I really enjoyed the guitar and drum work. Some aspects of the album were a little annoying. Some of the sounds were kind of grating on the nerves. But mostly it was fun to listen to.

This one was fun and interesting. It had an almost big band feel just with more electronics. At times it gave me Muse vibes with a similar operatic drama. I wish there was a little more complexity. But overall an enjoyable experience.

This album was baffling for me. I had so many mixed feelings about it I was not sure how to rate it. There were moments that I thought were really good and moments that just made me say huh? It had this sort of hip hop meets crooner fusion feel to it and sometimes it gave me modern day Gatsby vibes. It was different and thought provoking. While at times I really was into it I wasn’t always sure I liked it.

I don’t listen to a lot of Marvin Gaye and I have to say this one was kind of a trip. It was a good album with smart intelligent lyrics but an interesting dichotomy between the lyrics. It was kind of like listening to 70’s folk rock protest songs with Kenny G playing in the background. I joked that I wasn’t sure if I should be taking a bubble bath or protesting in the streets.

I am going to be honest here. I do not deny that Dolly was a great person and beloved by many nor do I deny her talent and what she did for women in music but her music is just not my personal cup of tea.

Normally I try to give in depth reviews but this time I just have to say Jack White is the best!
