1001 Albums Summary

Haven't listened to this since middle school. Lots of bangers

Classic sound but the best part is the album cover

Dad approved

The ultimate "don't judge a book by its cover" album. Really thought this album would rip as a kid and was so so disappointed by the music within. As an adult, it's just kitschy fun - not really my thing but ol loaf sure can howl

Banger after banger after banger etc so funny taj mahal got ripped off and became "do ya think I'm sexy?"

Bomb squad production carries hard would give a 3.5 if I could

One of the greatest of all time - top 10 for sure. I'll be your mirror is me and my fiancee's song so maybe I'm biased

All the cool gen z British indie bands heard this (and all his stuff) and are trying their best to reheat Scott's nachos

Album cover and first song sounding like a truck commerical had me scared - everything else was mostly fine. Would give a 2.5 if able

A lot of fun! British metal kinda fell off in the 21st century huh

The production is a good bed for common to rap about whether he should fuck god if she was a woman

man, fuck them damn dominoes Always forget drake is on this for a lowlight but legendary album that holds up

Great workday morning music

First time ever I saw your face a banger in all forms

Haven’t listened to this in over a decade, first impression back then was it was fine. Relistening now it’s hitting different!! Idk if it’s better than pink moon but dang it’s good Also @drew you should check out “Akuma no uta” by Boris!

Never heard of this band! Cool cinematic sound that sounds a bit like their contemporaries (stereolab, broadcast, portishead) but with the lounge influence dialed up. Like the songs with more electronics naturally! Would give 3.5 if able

Elton not beating the singles artist allegations

Liked this more than I expected! Obviously the hits hit hard but there are some gems in the margins, even if this one can get a little bit grating. Would give 3.5 if possible

Another singles band album that I just NEED to hear before I die!!! Spoiler alert: the singles carry and everything else is fine

U2 went big in my house growing up. I loved the edges guitar tone as a kid (before I learned he called himself the edge and lost respect for him and before I listened to other post punk stuff). Some real bangers here!

Never got super into Elvis Costello- much to my dad’s chagrin. Listening now, it’s fine but something about the “Elvis Costello” persona just doesn’t click with me. Not bad vibes per se, but strange vibes - like “I’m so kooky and weird” while being neither lmao. Would give 3.5 if able though!

Besides the amazing production - flavor flav’s contributions are always welcomed

wow it’s a classic rock solo album by a guy in a classic rock band amazing and sounds like classic rock but wait it’s from 1993!!! glad I could listen before I die!!! solid 2 because I’m generous

Some real bangers but also some stinkers that don’t hold up Good album overall though!

Sounds like a good party!

All timer easy 5 I’m partial to 1999 (which I’m sure will show up here sometime) but this might be better

I knew we’d get into Brit pop at some point and at least I knew song 2 lmao I was worried as a non Brit pop enjoyer, but I can see how this one is the “American indie rock we love pavement, too!” attempt and I appreciate that! Would’ve loved this in middle school

Forgot how pornographic filthy this album is at times lmao but it was the 90s! Such a great album Can’t believe Biggie wanted to suck the hot girl’s dad’s dick because she was so fine!!!

Oh boy classic rock!!! Snooze but liked the steel drums at the end and it’s short Barely a 2

One of those “all timer” albums that has never hit with me when it should. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good! But I think I listened to SILY first so anything else sample based/plunderphonics sort of pales in comparison. Midnight in a perfect world is goated tho

Basically retro futurism now - like a y2k time capsule (and en el-p feature) Some cool production (especially for the time) but a lil too “lyrical miracle the world is spherical” for my taste. Wipe out on the wave of Armageddon was my favorite track lol
