1001 Albums Summary

Iconic. Pity Corgan is a wanker.

Perfect. No notes.

Irie 🍁

Jazzy! Almost crashed my car.

Never gave this the time of day. Good stuff. Can't bear Natural Woman though... it's a soap ad jingle.

Only a couple of songs and some interesting instrumentation keep this from being a one-star. It was a hard listen. Cardigans have such strong songs; this is insubstantial, bordering on irritating (her thin, twee voice and terrible rhymes). Maybe it was of an era. If I'd bought this instead of Frenté (same-same) I'd probably have loved it. Tried.

Groovy space opera. Me likey.

Shoo, people are really triggered by this one. It's supremely listenable and there's nothing wrong with that. Not every album has to be hard work. Lekker!

Ja no well fine hey

Yeaaahhh! Arrgghhhaaaa. Repetitive testosterone and kak lyrics. Giving points for 3 pretty good songs. The rest so skippable. Yaaawn. Might need to calibrate if there are more Metallica LPs on this list so I don't end up in negative score. But it's a no for me, dawg.

Bland as bland can be. If it got more interesting after song 6, I wouldn't know. DNF.

Back in the early 90s when MCs liked rhyming plastic, spastic and drastic. This was great!

Crazy that this was 1985! Sonic Youth, Velvet Underground, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr... Curious what this would sound like without the distortion.

Have never given Neil Young enough attention, thinking he was all backwaters and native Americana. Some indie leanings. Thrasher's melody, lyrics and delivery could easily be a Coner Oberst number.

Rad 🤘... not sure I still have the attention span for this. Fell on Black Days hits different now.

I don't know

+1 star for nostalgia and nothing quite like this. Being such a core of the soundtrack to the early-mid 90s (Add It Up best of was released), it boggles the mind that they're early 80s acoustic punk. Gordon Gayno was a snack.

I try! I still cannot, but I try. Maybe when I was trying so hard to be cool at 14, drinking black coffee and watching Twin Peaks I'd have pretended to get this bop, but I'm much blander now. He should add vocals to all of it.

Shoo, I do love me some musical theatre and there were moments of joy. Early 2000s me would've loved this lounge (ala Honeymoon Suites) but it starts off "brand new discovery that I think I love" and wears you down to "are we there yet?"

Wow. Hung on every word. Can hear this echo in who she's influenced through the years. Yes!

That's a bit of all right

It's Elvis. Ain't nothing but a horndog.

"Ripply things" ... a Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Primus, Led Zep noodly prog rock soup.

Catchy nostalgia. 9/10.

Would've liked to have heard this at the time. Occasionally veers into cringe first round battle of the bands/amateur art school concert territory. Jusssst makes a 3 because it's interesting.
