1001 Albums Summary

I rarely listen to full Bowie albums, and I don't think I'll return to this one any time soon

Could use this as background music but not really my vibe. At one point it peaked my interest and I realized spotify had switched to Mingus Big Band on autoplay

I thought I'd be ok with this, but midway I started wishing for it to end sooner.

Day 4. I remember I recieved a Beastie Boys cd at some point in my life, listened through it twice and lost it somewhere. For the second time of this challenge the thing autoplayed after the album was more enjoyable than the album itself (Digable planets)

Thriller to Human nature is 5/5, the switch from The girl is mine to Thriller is jarring.

I've been slightly aware of the specials, mostly by "ghost town" being in one of my frequent playlists. Didn't know they were a ska band. This was fun

Punk isn't really my genre and despite me liking the songs individually the album overstays its welcome.

Probably a weak 5/5 until Revolution 9. The highs are high

It's an album I return to every now and then but never really think about or recommend to anyone. There's plenty of energy and I could probably listen to it again just for the drums.

This iseems to be bridging the gap between rock I like and indie(?) rock which I ignore For some reason most of it just doesn't connect. "5-4=Unity" and "Hit the plane down" stood out for me, the rest sort of blended together.

Nothing here gets to the heights of "the weight", and probably not something I'll ever return to as a full album. By far the standouts for me were "Jawbone" and "King Harvest", and maybe "Rockin' chair" as a distant third.

If I hadn’t heard YYZ before I’d probably give this a five just by that alone

Cat Stevens is just all around good vibes unless you happen to have written ”the satanic verses”. ”Wild world” is great, but maybe I shouldn’t listen to the lyrics too intently

I struggle internally ranking my favorite Beatles albums, but they’re all 5/5

There’s so much good rock from the 70s and this is just fine

This is very sappy and uninspiring. I never understood the fascination with Elvis and I feel like people rarely talk about his music and only about his persona

The four time Nickelodeon Kid's choice award nominee used to be very very angry I personally don't mind the over the top misogynistic and aggressive lyrics, I've listened to worse. However the album feels monotonous and boring, and it's hard to take ice cube seriously after seeing the later parts of his career.

I didn't expect to like this so much. Only ever heard american pie before this one, and I found myself singing along to it at home. "Vincent" and "Empty chairs" stood out for me. I felt the need to look up the background of "Everybody loves me, baby" since it felt a bit too close to home in these Trumpy times.

I listened to this yesterday, I can't remember any of it now and if in a week you were to ask me about their name I'll tell you it was something about futons

I was excited to see the temptations, but the album is a bit of a dud outside of "Papa was a rolling stone". Luckily the song is a third of the album.

Wore out its welcome somewhere around ”scratch my back”. A bit too long for what it is

This released when I was in my early teens, music was widely available if you sailed the seven seas and I was both in a sort of musical discovery mode of my life and in a period when I listened to a lot of hiphop. This album was always mentioned as a future classic, and I'm sure I listened to it at some point and just never returned to it. One thought that came to mind is that my favorite song by Common is 2,5 minutes long, and Common doesn't enter into it until a minute in. This album is twice as long as it needs to be and most songs should be two minutes shorter. It's unfortunate, because there's a good record in here, it just needed less common
