1001 Albums Summary

A perfect 10. One of the most iconic albums of all time and personally impactful albums in my life. The stretch of You Never Give Me Your Money - The End might be the peak of music. And this is all without even mentioning the songs that made it to the radio - Come Together, Something, Oh Darling, or Here Comes The Sun.

Not bad, but not great either. It's a solid album for a casual rock listener, and I found myself nodding my head along frequently. The songs are catchy, energetic, and easy to enjoy. But beyond that, I never felt particularly invested in what the album was doing. Maybe if someone had shared this with me on MySpace in 2006, I would have become an Arctic Monkeys lifer. Part of the album's appeal seems tied to the era it came from and how fresh it sounded at the time. Listening in 2026, I can appreciate why it was successful, but I don't hear something I'd consider essential listening before I die.

They had 3 chords and a vision. And that was enough.

The best Miles album out there. In my big 3 jazz albums with A Love Supreme & The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady. And if this is "hold music" then Breaking Bad is just a soap opera. Some people's takes are ridiculous.

I have never really given Oasis or much britpop a chance other than the classic hits like Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Bitter Sweet Symphony, or Song 2. But this album was alot of fun for me! It definitely made my "revisit list" and I will be including some other britpop albums in that.

I think I am? 9.5/10

I respect it. This album had an incredible amount of influence on the Hip Hop scene of the 90s. Chuck D - awesome. Flavor Flav - kinda gets annoying tbh. Loved the sampling lyrics but some of record scratches and repetitive beats gets tiring. High of the album - I got a letter from the government the other day I opened and read it, it said they were suckers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me givin' a damn, I said "Never" Here is a land that never gave me a damn About a brother like me and myself because they never did I wasn't wit'it, but just that very minute It occured to me, the suckers had authority.

No thanks. I’ll take my 2007 Alive by Daft Punk instead.

Is this a new wave album cover or a 1980s church choir sheet music cover? Regardless, it’s pretty good. 7/10

Funk yeah

Always thought deep purple was a one hit wonder. But this album rocks🤘

Adele vocals - :) Adele music - :( Some good hits but can leave the album as a whole. highs - When We Were You & Remedy lows - I Miss You, Water Under the Bridge, River Lea, & Sweetest Devotion

This is like Cowboy Bebop on crack.... I like it!

Well I have learned three new things today: 1. Dusty Springfield is British 2. Dusty Springfield is white 3. Apparently the son of the preacher man likes white British women who don't appear to be that when they sing.

If someone asked me if I were a Duran Duran fan, I would say no without hesitation. But shockingly they have some good stuff other than the at times annoying radio hits of Rio and Hungry Life a Wolf. Am I now a Duran Duran fan? Still no. But I am no longer a hater which is a win in my book.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for 80s and 90s country.

Alice In Chains makes dirt sound good

Paul Simon became one of the most influential musicians of the last century despite looking exactly like the guy who should be doing your taxes. Mad respect.

I'm as big a Rush fan as the next guy. I love much of their catalog, from their self-titled debut through Hold Your Fire. Still, aside from the "2112 Overture," this ranks among their weaker efforts for me. The saving grace is that the overture takes up more than half the album, which is enough to keep it at a solid 4/5.

I received back-to-back prog albums that have a very similar feeling for me (2112 and Fragile). Roundabout (Like 2112 Overture) is fantastic. Everything else is by all means enjoyable but left me with a desire just to listen to track 1 on repeat. I am a sucker for prog though so still giving this a 4. :)

This is what I imagine non-English speakers hear when they listen to Leonard Cohen. Can I understand anything he's saying? No. Do I feel every emotion he's expressing? Absolutely. Now give me a damn croissant and fly me to Paris. 7/10

I have no words. Such an incredible album. By far album of the decade for the 1980s
