25 by Adele
Aug 05 2026
The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Aug 07 2026

Wanted to love this album, unfortunately dragged in the middle with several songs that blended together into a slog. The bookends are great, highlight is Sprawl II

Understand the significance of the album and overall enjoyed it, but in the end it wasn't quite for me.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Aug 10 2026

This was a confusing listen. After 5 songs I was ready to rate this one star. By the end I was charmed by the production and the sound. The main issue is Wainwright's style of singing is not for me. I was begging him to enunciate the words. This rating could go up after a re-listen.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 11 2026

The music lover in me wanted to like this, however I'm already not the biggest jazz fan and this is a jazz heavy album. Something about her singing out of rhythm with the music made me feel actual anxiety-it's a personal pet peeve of mine.

Aug 12 2026

This album must be listened to with headphones while doing nothing else. It is literally ambient background music, how good can it be? A pleasant listen in a quiet place with headphones but would never listen again.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Aug 13 2026

Albums like this is why I started this. First foray into this band, and what an introduction. Great album; funky soulful innovative- all the buzzwords. Can not wait to listen amany more times.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Aug 16 2026

Possibly the best album of the 21st century.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Aug 17 2026

Some decent songs, but as a whole not for me. Production wasn't great, the mix was off to me with vocals being far too loud.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Aug 19 2026

Strange album. Opening track lead me to believe I was in for something completely different than what I got. No defined genre, but overall a charming album with familiar sounds.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Aug 20 2026

Can't believe I've never heard of this woman. This was a very good album and I'm excited to see more from her on this journey.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Aug 21 2026

Second half of the album was far superior to the first (excluding souvenir). Could have cut 5-6 songs and had a 4-5 star album. I understand they are experimenting with the synth and the sounds it can make, but just because it can make a certain sound does not mean that sound should be recorded onto a album.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Aug 23 2026

Nice melodies and obviously great vocals, but in the end quite boring.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Aug 24 2026

Jazz typically makes me anxious; the random nature does not fit my sonic palate. However this was delightful.

Tapestry by Carole King
Aug 25 2026

A classic for a reason.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Aug 26 2026

Basically a Bowie album with Iggy singing. Not a bad thing.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 27 2026

Beautiful songs sung beautifully.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Aug 28 2026

What a surprise, one of my favorite bands of the 21st century is on the list. Shocked it was not American Water that was included, but Bright Flight is also great. Sonically nothing special, Steve Malkmus was not a collaborator on this album so it has more of a plain indie sound. However Silver Jews has always been about the lyrics. David Berman was an amazing poet, and the lyrics do not disappoint. I Remember Me is a highlight, and achingly sad song about what could have been. And Tennessee is the best on the album, witty and earnest. RIP David.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 02 2026

This book isn't titles "1001 albums you could listen to before you die" it specifically used the word MUST. Really? I MUST listen to this drivel before I die!? Is it only so I can appreciate all the good music in the world? I'm writing my own book: " Life Is Too Short: 1001 Albums you must NOT subject yourself to before you die" and this is the inaugural selection.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Sep 03 2026

Not sure what I'm missing here. Definitely some bright spots musically but I have a set peeve about music with vocals I can't quote hear or make out what the lyrics are. A few songs needed to be half as long as they droned on for.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Sep 04 2026

Dislike the vocal style a lot-why not try and actually sing? However, musically it was pretty good with some good rythym and decent tracks.

Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 05 2026

I used to think Radiohead was music for college freshmen who thought they were intellectuals because they "got" their music. And this pretentious drivel proves it. How did Pitchfork give this a 10?? At several points during the album I thought I was listening to Brian Eno's music for airports again. Only giving 2 stars because there are some listenable songs. You can not convince me there are many over 30 die hard fans who actually like this album.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Sep 06 2026

Nothing revolutionary here, quality musicians playing quality music. Good to put on in the background in a good way.

Sep 07 2026

Some great musicianship here, not entirely my cup of tea but the beats and the rhythm carry the album.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Sep 09 2026
The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Sep 10 2026

This is all forgettable album with nothing to say. Doesn't make it bad, and I actually thought it finished strong. However, how can it possibly make this list? There is nothing special here.

Protection by Massive Attack
Sep 11 2026

Title track is great. Music is interesting at points and unique in an endearing way. The live cover of light my fire was terrible.

Hms Fable by Shack
Sep 14 2026

This was a fine album with some catchy tunes however I fail to see how it could be included on this list.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 15 2026

Monumental hip hop album, phenomenal listening experience.

Heroes by David Bowie
Sep 17 2026

I want to give this 4 stars but the second half of the album drags the whole down too far. Blackout is the highlight for me.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Sep 18 2026

Don't want to give it one star because it's not bad it's just not for me.

Tommy by The Who
Sep 19 2026
Low by David Bowie
Sep 30 2026

First half is a 5, second half is a 2. Round up because sound and vision is so incredible.
