1001 Albums Summary

Not for me, I kinda get it but just not my sound

Not really for me, quite happy to listen to it but wouldn't be going out of my way to play it, other than a few songs.

Yeah this is a bit of me, crazy I haven't listened to more ZZ Top in the past. I'm going to try and keep my 5 stars for something that really slaps me around the face but this is really good.

First 5 star for me, fantastic start to finish.

Too much Neil Young all at once. Old Man and Heart of Gold secure the third star but it's not an album I'll be revisiting in it's entirety.

I thought I liked the beastie boys but I think I might just like a few songs (none of which are on this album). I'm ranking purely on enjoyment and this is one the most irritating things I've ever listened to.

Happy to listen to this but the song length and repetition means I'm not keen to revisit, and the 16 minute drum duet at the end can go away.

Surprisingly low impact. No More Mr Nice Guy nearly secures this a third star but ultimately I won't be revisiting.

I've given better albums than this 1 star because I found them irritating and I'm not going to give this 2 just because it's inoffensive. Boring.

I thought I knew what my bar was for a 1 star album, but there's always something to push it lower.

Just misses out on a 4th star, Queen's sound just doesn't quite hit for me and I could see myself finding this a bit annoying if I wasn't in the right mood.

A couple of stand out songs, not written by Buckley, but surprisingly hollow much of the time. It's all very sad but it didn't really connect with me.

This is tough one. There's definitely some very strong songs on here, but I can't enjoy a whole album of these vocals and for me there's not much to the songs beyond the guitar work.

I've never really liked the britpop sound but this was better than I expected. The first song nearly put me off the whole album, but it was better after that. A lot of energy, pretty funny and some standout songs.

I prefer this to Harvest but it suffers the same fault for me. Too much Neil Young all at once. The standout songs really stand out, and are up there with some of my favourite songs, but I feel no drive to relisten to the whole album.

I have to give this 2 stars, there's nothing here I'm interested in or going to be revisiting. But it's so far from my tastes theres no point me saying anything good or bad about it. If you like this kind of thing you'll probably love it, I don't and didn't.

Better than I expected

I didn't like his music before he was a nazi so I'm not gonna start now

Not for me

Pleasant enough apart from the unnecessary spoken interludes and Lil Wayne's incongruous inclusion. When I think about the omissions the fact that this 2016 nothing album makes the list makes no sense to me and has me feeling like I'm wasting my time.

I know he's not trying to do easy listening voice or anything but I really can't stand the blokes voice on this. It works on Where Is My Mind but my favourite song on this is Gigantic thanks to Kim Deal. It's a shame she doesn't do more of the lead vocals on the album. 3 stars for the couple of songs I like but the rest of the album really grates.

It's got to be a 3 star rating for me. Some of it, especially the title track has a selection of random noises feel to it, but it does come around in the second half, and the later tracks are more interesting. It's not something I expect to revisit but I can hear it's influence on things that I like more and for that reason it's worth listening to.

A couple of good songs but the rest are either unmemorable or outright annoying. And Steven Tyler's a nonce.

Another album that just has me thinking about all the great albums that aren't on this list.

I was really hoping to like this, and I was going to let it scrape a third star but i want to be as consistent as possible. Totally unmemorable, there's nothing here I'll be revisiting so 2 it is.

It's not totally obnoxious, just mostly. I want to turn this off, and that means... 1 star.
