1001 Albums Summary

Definitely not what I am used to but it was a nice album to ease into the morning. I had heard The Girl From Ipanema before which was a surprise. Overall on first listen not many tracks stood out, but rather tracks blend into a great collective.

I had heard some of the singles. The pacing of the album makes a ton of sense for CCR. These guys don't disappoint. Not quite a 5 because I felt Ramble Tamble and I Heard It Through The Grapevine had some extended sections that were repetitive (although maybe that's the point of Ramble Tamble?)

I don't think I had ever listened to the full album when I was younger. It made me feel like I was experiencing a theater production. Lots of atmospheric sounds cut with great riffs and spoken word. The Great Gig in the Sky surprised me in how it was structured.

I've never been a big fan of Robert Smith's vocals. The album starts out very brooding and gets lighter as it continues. The '80s is not my favorite decade and this album suffers from some of the classic tropes of this time.

I of course knew Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger. A stand out for me was Some Might Say. This album just works for me, no other way to describe it.

Thundercat is unapologetically himself on this album. It's fun, it's drunk, and is sprinkled with pensive moments. It's not my thing but fun to have in the background b

The album sounds very samey from song to song. I couldn't get into it

I was familiar with "War" having been referenced on Seinfeld, and had heard Bruce Springsteen's cover of "Born to Run". Two Tribes was probably my favorite track. The album blends together towards the end but I enjoyed it more than expected.

I knew a few songs. Didn't know Sweetest Girl by Wyclef Jean was referencing C.R.E.A.M.. There were moments where I was in awe at the technical verses. Fun but didn't blow me away

Lots of classic '80s elements right off the bat. As I started I was leaning towards a 3 but the second half didn't resonate as well. Not my style.

There were a few decent songs. A classic rock album that I never checked out in full. I'd like to give a 2.5 but I'll round to a 3.

This was the first CD I ever owned (thanks Aunt Julie!) The album still crushes it 22 years later.

Still not a fan of The Cure. These songs drag on and nothing instrumentally or lyrically grabs you. It wasn't awful but still not good.

I knew It's Nasty and The Message. The funkier songs were fun, and unfortunately some of their political messaging still rings true today. The middle of the album was not for me.

I can't deny the talent of Bowie. Not every song captured me but a great piece nonetheless.

When I first heard about NIN as a kid, I figured they were a heavy band. Then I grew up and found out this is what they are. The vocals nor the instrumentals grab me. About an hour too long

I knew the singles. I expected to like this one a bit more than I did, but there are no doubt some hits here.

Very strange album. Didn't love the first song but I got more into the album as it progressed. You really don't know what to expect from one song to the next.

It's a decent Bowie album with some fun moments.

Fun punk album which I quite enjoyed

Not many standouts but I could have this on in the background

It's a slow paced, folk-rock album. Felt kind of generic

Funky fresh! I've never seen the movie or had heard any of the songs but this is a fun one.
