1001 Albums Summary

So pretty. The ubiquity of "Girl from Ipanema" makes me forget how pleasant the album is as a whole.

Clever, catchy song-writing. The orchestrations are less corny than I feared. Some songs are more convoluted than necessary though.

It's tough to get past the basic '80s beats (some exceptions eg, Parental Discretion iz Advized). But Ice Cube's flow always hits.

Technical virtuosity not enough to make up for the cacophony of this “noise rock”. I kind of liked the song Kerosene.

This is essentially delta blues, with Sympathy for the Devil tacked onto the beginning of the album. Very enjoyable delta blues.

Tasteful and unique r&b. I hadn't heard of Kelela - I like it.

Still sounds relatively fresh. Not really a weak song on here.

Unique blend of punk, rock and blues. But too noisy for my taste.

Songwriting obviously immaculate, but stodgy instrumentation and Cohen's own lackluster voice keep me from loving this.

There's a lot to like on here. Obvious influence for '90s grunge (specifically Nirvana). Less "noisy" than I expected.

I find this monotonous. Dylan and Springfield combined.

Good for brit new wave/synth pop, just not really my thing.

This is like music deconstructed. Some very pretty stuff, but ultimately I prefer more oomph.

Flower power on a record.
