1001 Albums Summary

Thank God for jazz Some nice jazz It's kind of funny at moments and I haven't figured out if it's on purpose Will listen again sometime A solid 3,5/5

I'd like this more if I were high I had fun listening, even though the audio quality was strangely atrocious at times, but a few hours later nothing has stuck with me

Top 3 Dylans for me. I love it when he gets electric but Side B in particular is so strong here (3 out of 4 easily could be called some of his best work and Gates of Eden is also there). Also I really really really love the cover art.

This one has some great songs and some really weak songs. It's a good listen but I believe the lore is why people are obsessed. Slap Silver Springs and a Planets of the Universe demo on this puppy and the rating goes up a whole star.

Surprisingly for me I enjoyed this. Not as heavy in sound as I expected. Might come back to this, but I fear I'm too gay and well-adjusted to truly get into it. The one chill instrumental track (A Warm Place?) was so lovely. (my second NIN album after the Tron Ares ost lmao).

This is such a cool album.

Could not finish. Boring dad rock, every song sounds the same, the vocals are a whole struggle bus. Not for me.

This is very okay (will probably not listen again), and the second half built and built, concluding the album much better than it started. Overall I felt like the production on these tracks muddied the waters too much, and neither the voice nor the music had a chance of standing out. I am surprised that it could be considered an "essential" album but I don't regret listening to it. It's nice to know that there will at least be some non-old-white-dudes on this journey.

This is so melodramatic and overwrought that it becomes funny at some point. It sounds like a parody of what it should be.

Overlong for how little variety it offers, but it's so smooth and, at times, genuinely affecting. I had a consistently good time with this record. And hallelujah at last something that's not dad rock!

More 🥱 😴. Another album that just confuses me: how is this essential listening? It's at most pleasant and inoffensive.

There are three stone cold classic hits on this one, and the album cuts are almost just as good. So much fun.

I get why some people would like it but I think it's so so so boring.
