1001 Albums Summary

This just wasn’t for me at all

Should have only listened to the French version. Production was nice

The first album that has really made me stop and relisten. Not a super playlist-able album but a great consistent vibe. John Mayer-esque at certain points

This was great! The instrumentation is really diverse and the rhythms are so funky. Curious to dive into the meaning

I really like Michael Kiwanuka and there are classic songs on here, but I prefer Love & Hate. This is more like a 3.5

At best, this is just a Rage Against The Machine knockoff. At worst, this is some of the least authentic bullshit I’ve heard in my life. That last song was so unbelievably racist and sexist

There was nothing here that I enjoyed

Loved this! A bit long album wise but I love the bluesy guitars and the distortion on the vocals

AI could never replicate this

Probably more of a 2.5 due to these last two tracks goddamn

Just not for me

One of the greatest voices ever. Not my absolute favorite project from her, but a classic nonetheless

Enjoyed this but not as much as I thought

Hard not to enjoy this

Not for me but pretty cool

Not her best album, but one of the best to do it in the last 10 years so it’s hard to complain

Gorgeous harmonies

Not for me but still pretty fun

Common is incredible. This is peak Kanye production (also some J Dilla sprinkled in). Just a complete masterclass in every sense of the word

I thought I’d hate this from the beginning of the first song but it actually was pretty good! More of a 3.5/5

Very enjoyable listen

Classic rock does absolutely nothing for me (hot take I know). There are parts of this I like but at an hour and a half I can’t stand it

This was very nice!

I can’t stand Lorde. On paper there’s nothing really wrong with this album. But holy shit music is supposed to be about feeling and I feel nothing. Taylor Swift writing with Coming of Age movie production

This fuckin rips

Similar to how I feel about the Nina Simone album on this list. One of the greatest to ever do it but not my absolute favorite album of hers

Grew on me a lot. Pretty great world constructed within this album

Nostalgic

Production is fine. I thought I liked Morrissey but man does his writing suck here

You can tell that this is a guy just fucking around with random music tech and it’s great

Wish this clicked a bit harder for me, but lots to love

In the best way possible, this album feels like the ramblings of a madman at the point before the madness fully takes over. It’s abrasive and raw, and I kinda forgot how important this album is

Didn’t do anything for me
