1001 Albums Summary

The Great Curve and Once in a Lifetime are so peak

Super enjoyable outside of Turn Blue, which is trash

Too mind-numbingly samey sounding for me unfortunately outside of Concrete Jungle and Stir it Up. Bob Marley is talented but he is not for me at all.

Nothing special at all and can be a bit dry and boring at times but it's definitely an enjoyable listen for what it is.

These lush melodies/harmonies never fail to put a smile on my face. The instrumentals are very well composed and gorgeous as well

Immigrant Song carries, but to be honest I might prefer the folky songs outside of the rocky songs (besides Immigrant Song), because the hard rock songs felt weakly composed/performed to me.

This is definitely catchy, even throughout the deep cuts, and there are some incredible gems (Time After Time and Through the Night) on it, but Girls Just Want to Have Fun's overplay and the butchering of a classic Prince tune keeps me from seeing this as a great album

Most of the songs sound the same (even if they sound okay), but the highlights on this one are really really good.

Music is super pretty and the melodies are amazing but Robert sounds like a bad karaoke version of Morrissey

Very smooth and enjoyable but it also kind of makes me rather want to listen to A Tribe Called Quest.

I'm a sucker for these indie guitar tones and her lyrics are quite witty, so this was very enjoyable for me.

Loved how Ray made these songs his own and that you can barely tell that they were originally country songs. I also adore how strong his voice is throughout, although I wish there were more fast-paced songs so that the album doesn't just slip into very pleasant background music like it does in the middle of the album.

Had to turn on some Cardiacs after listening to this because I needed a palate cleanser from this vocalist's extremely monotone and lethargic style, even if the instrumentals can be decently pretty at times (even if mostly they're boring as well).

Much groove and much chill. I like

Very well made and I enjoyed it a lot, but I find myself rarely revisiting it so I can't give it a 5.

Love the bouncy riffs, the production, and Jonathan Davis' scatting, but All In the Family has the worst lyrics that I've ever heard in a song, and some of these other lyrics aren't much better, and the album becomes a lot less memorable in the second half.

It's alright and somewhat catchy, but it didn't do a ton for me. Very middle of the road.

Some serious bangers, but also some quite weak songs and it isn't the most memorable or unique.

The 2nd half has a drop-off in quality, otherwise this would be easily a 5. Those first two songs are absolutely legendary and are some of the most enjoyable pop songs of this era.

Decent fun rockin 'n rollin' music.
