1001 Albums Summary

Yeah I like 80s music, so what?

Good not great. Intriguing and stylistically varying, but not Bowie’s best work

Didn’t even know I knew Self Esteem. Feels like the angst of teenage rebellion. I love this shit.

Fun music but I didn’t like his voice

Took two listens, but this is a beautiful piece of media.

I don’t appreciate or understand this as much as someone who really loves jazz, but it was generally entertaining and intriguing.

No streaming service has it at this time which is annoying but I found this to be well worth the extra effort. Shoegaze to the max

Not my cup of tea

Bizarre but in a fun way. It’s not good, but it’s not trying to be. I want to stress that this one star rating is not an indicator of my displeasure for this album. I thoroughly enjoyed my listen. I just can’t in good conscience rate it any higher. Still an album I absolutely needed to hear before I die.

She was just yelling the whole time

Odd but charmingly beautiful

This was a surprising 5. I found myself longing for beaches and rum, enjoying the scent of a cigar on a warm summer evening. A true gem that I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

Solid music, beautiful voice. 3.5 rounded up.

RIP Dolly. A beautiful album

Funky

Groovy funky and quite fresh

This is one of the hardest to rate for me so far. I like most of it a fair amount and thought there were some really good songs on this album. However, the songs I didn’t like I really didn’t like. It feels too good to be a 3 but also is it really a 4 if I disliked parts of the album that much?

A fun album and full of interesting songs, but not really my favorite style.

Wack ass saxophone ruined it

Too much like ska

Beautiful and mesmerizing. I was brought to tears on multiple songs. This was a masterpiece through and through.

Whimsical but not for me

A masterpiece of storytelling

It was so blandly ok. Bits felt good and then fell back to blah. Not sure why this is included on the list. It never felt any better than just plain good and never worse than ok. Really lacking anything that makes me feel like I had to listen to it before I die.

Her voice was off key and annoying, her bars were repetitive, and her beats were wack. Brutal listen

It really didn’t feel memorable in many ways. I found myself feeling like it was just a cheap knockoff of Coldplay.

Not my usual style, but it met me on the right day

Not my usual style, but it met me on the right day

It’s probably good but I’m not much into house

It’s probably good but I’m not much into house

Don’t like his voice and don’t really think they deserve as many albums on this list as they have

Hell yeah Flava Flav

Marked improvement over their other album

I kinda loved the weird asmr bit in the middle

I do not like ska

Not bad. Not quite great. Decidedly ok, but very soothing and relaxing. The entire album reminds me of the music in a guided meditation video.
