1001 Albums Summary

Audio is super stereo. Realize I've never intentionally listened to Jazz before, but I could see myself doing so in the future after this. I like Blue Rondo A la Turk.

Rock Band? Maybe it's the name of the song or the fact that I've been listening to Parannoul again recently but Into The Light reminds me of Into the Endless Night, especially the distortion on the guitar and the build up toward the end. Not to mention their album art is oddly similar.

Hmmm, Prince still eludes me.

Eerie—not great evening listening if you enjoy feeling relaxed before bed. Some pretty crazy horn work too that almost sounded like a human voice. Don't think I'll ever listen to this again but I imagine someone more jazz-inclined would really appreciate it.

Such a dynamic range of sounds and styles on display here, and certainly one of the longest albums I've listened to, but it didn't all blend together nearly as much as I expected. Overall there's a lot to love and I will definitely be listening to more pumpkins going forward.

Completely obsessed with Elegia. Sounds straight out of a video game / movie (and it turns out Hideo Kojima used it for a MSGV trailer so there you go). Excited to explore more of their discography!

Loved it. A little biased because it's the first post-2000s album I've encountered in this rotation, but I'm just glad to see some dissonant, ethereal, electronic "laptop"-ass music made this list.

Oof. A bit too repetitive—I swear every song is same duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh dah-na-na-na-na-na-na guitar riff over and over again.

One of those albums that grows on you the more you read about the band that made it, plus I really like the sitar.

There's a Johnny Cash sized hole in my heart and I think Bob Dylan could fill it.

Didn't connect with me as much as I hoped. I like the song Unison.

So into this album. Captivating lyrical storytelling propelled even further by the raw, unfiltered vignettes scattered between each track. Lost One is an easy favorite. Also all the people rating this 1 star are racist misogynists.

While technically impressive at many points, "Don't Tread On Me" was a real turning point in this album for me—nothing makes me lose interest faster than learning that a band prides themselves on being "apolitical."

I like the spoken-word-poetry-esque lyricism. I like how unabashedly political it is. I like how angry they are. I don’t like that we’re still raging against the same machine after all this time.

There's a haunting, bucolic escapism to this that I can't help but be drawn in by, similar to that of Bon Iver and Novo Amor.

Rating based on how this album made me feel: anxious and stressed out. So not really one I see myself wanting to listen to again.

This sounded more modern than I expected given the time period, which was cool, but still wasn't really for me.

Found myself really grooving to this one.

Is the harmonica ok?

As a notorious skeptic of any genre of music invented before the 2000s, I have to admit there might be something to this Jazz thing.

Groovy!
