1001 Albums Summary

What else can I say!

Been listening to a lot of garage and psyche, and so few bands play with this light of a touch, but still with aggression and so much energy. Supreme confidence. The originals are mostly great, covers are all great.

Classic, great songs, fun production. In some ways an improvement on the Pop formula, but overall I prefer younger, hairier Iggy.

Just don’t like it. Corny but not fun. Some interesting complexity but doesn’t move me. A lot of it is just so slow, and for what? It’s not relaxing, but hardly any tension either. Lyrics mostly make my eyes roll, though the sentiments are all perfectly good. Lifelong Stevie Wonder skeptic, but heard more to like this time, prolly growing on me.

Pretty annoying, nothing I especially liked about it, lots I disliked. Guess I’d rather listen to this than Bon Jovi

New to me, but really liked it. Took a couple tracks to get into, but ultimately found it very cool and fun to have on while I did some cooking and chores. Will have to revisit stoned.

Stone cold classic, so glad to hear it again

Not for me

Fun, cool, sounds great in stereo

Very good, couple great songs. Something about it doesn’t totally click for me. Some of the jazz and hip hop influences seem to be competing rather than working together, maybe. What a voice, tho, huh?!

Very cool music, really creates a mood, liked reading about how it was produced and alla that

Probably my favorite, very nostalgic for me but something I appreciate more every time I listen.

Lyrics are great, love the blend of seemingly personal stuff with social/political commentary. Musically, though, I find it doesn’t really move me. More of a production thing than a performance thing maybe, but just all a little dull despite the content.

One of my favorites! Incredible production, sick guitar. The music is so familiar and so original, feels like there’s something for everyone. Her voice is perfect, sounds normal but also very unique, perfectly suiting the funny and relatable lyrics.

Incredible guitar playing and I love the mood the music puts me in, but on close listen the singing and (some) lyrics bring this down a lot

The songs, the riffs, the production, the rhythms, the energy, all rolling and slithering together. Incredible. Hated it when I was 13

Perfect record. Nothing as raw is as beautiful, nothing as beautiful as raw. Maybe the sound of the mind souring, like a delicious, nutritious yogurt.

One of the first “cool” albums I was super into. Incredibly aggressive, which I always forget, because its also so catchy and smart. One of my personal favorites, and not even their best

Probably overrating this but goddamn did I love it when I was in middle school
