1001 Albums Summary

Sounds good but not really the kind of music I listen to regularly. If I never revisit it I wouldn’t lose sleep. -Listened 2x

Pretty good, liked it a lot more the second listen. Favorites: Mis-Shapes, Common People. Least favorite: Underwear

Sounds good but not my thing. And why are all the songs 4-5 minutes long?

I try to appreciate different genres I don’t usually listen to but this just had me a bit bored. Can’t really see myself wanting to return to it. Come On Eileen is a good song though.

Not bad. A lot of these songs sound the same, which isn’t necessarily bad but it’s not great either. And the singer’s voice is a bit annoying. Listened 2x

Really fun to listen to, doesn’t feel like it’s over an hour long. Will listen to again. Listened 2x

Great, and 37 minute length is too good

Solid

I don’t usually listen to music like this so I’m not sure how to rate it, but I liked it. Will probably listen again.

Never listened to something like this before, but I can say I enjoyed it. Not sure if I would ever come back to it though.

It was fun

I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would, but it was really dragging it's feet towards the end

Really good, I like his voice

I feel rude for rating this low because I don’t think it was bad but it wasn’t my thing. I was kind of vibing but I was also waiting for it to be over.

Very much 80s, love her voice. Great album.

A lot of this sounds like elevator music to me but I’m having fun with it, and her voice is so nice. “You Didn’t Have to Be So Nice” was cute. I think the short duration really helps here. I Actually liked this, fits a certain vibe. Wouldn’t mind listening to it again.

It’s alright

Great all the way through

Jazz isn’t something I listen at all really, and while I think I like this, I just don’t have the ear to hear what sets this apart from the rest.

I’m not sure what to rate this because I didn’t enjoy at all and wanted to give it a 2 the first listen, but on the second listen I liked it more. I don’t think I liked it enough to give it a 4 though, because there were some songs I didn’t care for.

It was decent, really good background noise

Never heard of the movie but this was really good, I can imagine changing it to a 4 if I listen to it a bit more.

So nice

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but it all started sounding the same at one point unfortunately

Idk if I was just frustrated with homework today while listening to this but wasn't doing much for me, although I would give it a second chance. 2nd listen: It was the homework lol this was fun. Don't feel the need to return to it though

Not bad but too long, became boring after a while. And there’s something about his voice that I like but dislike at the same time

It was fun at first but by the end I was bored. Album cover: 2/5

I only realized halfway through that I was playing it on shuffle. oops. Too late to go back now though. At some points I thought it as nice, then weird, and then other points I was bored. Album cover: 3/5 I kinda like it

Just listened and cannot remember a thing about it. I don’t even think it was bad, I just can’t remember. Album cover: 3/5 I like all the blue

Not bad but not for me. If it was much longer I would have given it a 2. Album cover: 2/5 it’s alright

Good

*listened before* I can’t remember if I listened to this once or twice before, but I just can’t get into it like everyone else. I’m not denying that it’s great, because it is, but I just don’t hear what everyone else does. Maybe that’s because I overhyped it for myself though. Anyway, my score can only go up from here, and I’ll definitely listen again. Favorites: Wesley’s Theory(incredible opener), King Kunta, i Disliked: - Album cover: 5/5 iconic

Idk how to feel about this one. It's nothing too crazy, and I usually dislike long albums, but this one was kind of different. I wouldn't sit down to listen to this, but I could play it in the background while doing something else and I would enjoy well enough. It also helped me fall asleep lol. Album cover: 2/5 nothing crazy

Worse company Cover rating: 3/5 covers like this are usually a 2/5 but I actually kind of like it

Nice, but by Guinevere I was pretty bored Album cover: 4/5 very nice

I enjoyed it, really liked the closing song Album cover: 2/5 meh, just a group photo

I actually liked this a lot Album Cover: I like it 3/5

First of all, because of the title I thought this was going to be more Spanish vibes and this was not that. I’ve had a dirty secret for a bit that I think country actually sounds good, although I never listen to it. HOWEVER, this got very repetitive for me around the halfway point and I was waiting for it to be over. It all just sounds the same to me unfortunately. That being said I wouldn’t mind coming back to this when I have more of an appreciation for the genre, or maybe I won’t idk Album cover: 2/5 not a big fan

Pretty meh album, it wasn't bad and it was nice at some parts but it was mostly boring to me. Album cover: 3/5 group photo but at least there's something going on

Not for me at all sorry I'm tired of it and there's still 3 tracks left. Almost gave it a 1 but there was still stuff I liked. Album cover: 3/5 another group photo but I like it again so

I mostly hate long albums with few exceptions but this was very enjoyable (still a bit long though). All these songs have such long, odd names. The production is so good, the whole album sounds pretty and I love the horns. I really liked the outro. I think this album is good but I can absolutely see why people would dislike it. I’ll probably listen to it again in the future, but not anytime soon. Favorites: Come On!, Chicago, The Man of Metropolis Album Cover: Felt the Illinoise 4/5

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would Album cover: I like it 3/5

I liked the first half more than the second, but it was still good. No bad songs. Album cover: 3/5 it’s alright

Honestly I was playing video games while listening to this and I barely remember anything about it. Our House is a good song though. Album Cover: Not terrible not great 3/5

Good, great opening song and I liked the closing one. Album Cover: 5/5 very cool

Incredible opener, everything else was just ok to me. Album Cover: I like it a lot 4/5

This sounds nice, like very nice, but I can see why someone would call it boring. Because while it’s nice, it gets boring. Unfortunately. If the vibe is right though this album can probably sound incredible. Great closing track too, I literally dreamt of horses. Album Cover: not feeling very sinister 2/5

I’m starting to see the appeal of this kind of music, but I’m still at a point where I just don’t really care for it. Album Cover: Cool 4/5

Funky. I liked this way more than I thought I would. Album Cover: Weird 3/5

*Listened before* The album generator has blessed me today. This was my first Radiohead album, and I picked it because I liked the cover the most out of all their albums lol. Didn’t like it at all on my first listen. Listened to it a few more times and now I love it. It just sounds incredible. So happy to relisten. My hot take is that it’s better than ok computer. Favorites: 15 Steps, Bodysnatchers, Nude, Weird Fishes, All I Need, Jigsaws Falling Into Place Album Cover: I don’t really like Radioheads covers but this is one of the exceptions, I love it 4/5

Kinda boring Album Cover: Ok 2/5

This is probably a 4 star album but I don’t really feel like I need/want to listen to it again, so I’ll give it 3. Album Cover: Giving me nothing 1/5

It was enjoyable but not really my thing Album Cover: Meh 2/5

This was probably super influential or something but it is so insanely boring Album Cover: Train 3/5

Sounds good but Idk how to rate jazz Album Cover: I like the lighting 4/5

There were some moments I enjoyed but for the most part this wasn’t for me Album Cover: I like the colors but that’s about it 2/5

Very good, lots of genre blending Album Cover: Thematically on point 4/5

Felt very ambient, I thought it was a movie soundtrack at first lol. A lot of the sexual stuff, to me, does not come off the way it’s supposed to and is just weird. Again, it was great at building atmosphere. Wouldn’t care to listen again though, not for me. Album Cover: This doesn’t tell you anything, does nothing really 1/5

Still don’t know how to rate jazz but I would say I liked this. I usually can’t stand albums as long as this but I didn’t really mind it. Maybe because of the freeform nature of it, I don’t know. Not sure if I would listen to it again though

Consistently good Album Cover: NR

Came and went, nothing stood out to me Album Cover: Meh 2/5

I don’t listen to a lot of metal but this was good. Album Cover: Very metal album cover 3/5

It’s fine

I’ve listened to this before and I still think it’s a bit overrated. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s still very good, and there are some amazing songs on here. Album Cover: I get it but I just don’t really like it 3/5

Good but the singers voice was kind of annoying to me Album Cover: Don’t get it 2/5

Long tracks. Another just fine album

Great time, bit too long though

It was kinda middle of the road for me until he sang about being baptized by c*m and an old horse dying for 10+ minutes

Pretty boring (going home 😴) and some odd lyrics. Listened to Paint It, Black after and it’s funny how it so easily blows everything else out of the water

Pretty good time Album cover: I like it a bit actually 4/5

I’m saying this about a lot of albums but it’s fine. Not really my thing

Good stuff

Excellent, title track was my favorite. Last track did not need to go on for that long though

Very of its time with the misogynistic and homophobic lyrics. At least the music sounds good

Cool synths, and I like the “wtf is up with this pyramid” cover

Shoutout Mrs. Robinson from the Graduate

I was going to say “wow these songs all kinda sound the same” but then I realized I was listening to I’ve Got My Mojo Working - Pt. 2

Good album but certainly too long

Enjoyable but idk… people really talk this album up a lot. I should probably listen again some other time Album Cover - the purple? The hounds?? The hair?! 5/5

Great instrumentals

It’s alright in the background but not something I would throw on just to listen to

Not my thing

Not bad but didn’t really feel like anything special

Nice listen, nothing crazy though

Ok

Came and went. Didn’t really love the vocals

Took me a bit to get into it but then I was into it

Not really my thing but a fine album. Very confused by some of the most liked reviews though, especially one that stated people didn’t even think of race 15 years ago. What an ignorant thing to say

I was honestly going to give this a 2 but the samey-sounding songs do nothing to justify the hour plus runtime. Maybe if the album was cut if half. “But this was one of the first country-rap albums ever! He pioneered the genre!” What a terrible genre

While I can see the appeal of this, it is not my thing at all. 2 stars because I liked a couple songs

Some great songs on here (Time to Pretend, Electric Feel, Kids) that unfortunately completely outshine the rest of the album

Not sure why I liked this because this stuff doesn’t usually resonate with me, but I did

Smooth as butter

At first I was enjoying it a lot more than I thought and then I was waiting for it to be over. 3 because of that

Good stuff

Good but too long

Did not at all feel like an hour long

Good stuff

Nice listen

Probably hits really hard if you’re feeling sad

Good

Some good songs on here

An album that I listened to

Idk I liked it

Very nice

Ehhh I like rock your body

Leaning more towards good than meh

Never listened to a Beatles album before; it was alright

Second PJ Harvey album and again it was alright

With so many albums on this list I cannot figure out the need to listen to them before I die

Homophobic and too long… pick a struggle

Wow I really enjoyed this. I’ll probably forget why I gave it a 5 though

Alright but I would not listen again

I think this is my first Nirvana album (although it’s obviously not a traditional album). It was good though

The only other Stones album I’ve listened to is Aftermath, and this was a big step up from that!

Whatever. Way too long and would not listen again

The sitar is such a unique sounding instrument. Didn’t hate this didn’t love it

I’m freeeee oh my god I can’t do double albums they’re just way too long. This wasn’t bad or anything though

I won’t give this a 1 because the sound didn’t offend me, but I’m sorry I cannot take this seriously. Sounds like something 13 year olds discover and think is the best thing ever

I liked the first track

Perfect listen for a hot June night 🥰

Very nice

It’s alright

No thoughts. An album I listened to

I love good pop music! Blank Space, Style, Out of the Woods, and Wildest Dreams are all such great tracks. One of Taylor’s best

Really nice, would listen to this while reading, doing homework, cleaning

I can see the vision I guess, and actually appreciate a few tracks (AB/7A is legitimately good and Walls of Sound is true to its name). Overall though I did not like how this sounded at all

Nice listen

Cool cool

It’s alright, nothing crazy

Some of these songs were good while others had vocals and/or sounded like “that”

Whatever

Kinda lost me in the end

Are people going to come to my house and beat me with hammers if I say this sounds exactly like the Beatles?

Another just alright album!

Last tracks are insufferable

Nice

It’s fine I guess but went in one ear and out the other

I get it I just don’t care

Such a nice listen. Maybe my favorite album on this list (that I hadn’t heard before so far)

Fun but the orgy song was not it

20 minute closing track good lord 🙄

Hungry Like the Wolf is so Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party 3

Didn’t love it didn’t hate it

Not bad but not really my thing

Kinda liked it yeah

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure

Insane but sadly not my thing at all. Cool that they’re from RI though

Did this really have to be an hour plus long

Spray Prince with a spray bottle

Is alright

One the best of all time

Thought I would like this more since I has heard take me out and this fire and liked them

Certainly a unique voice

A vibe for sure but not really my thing 🤷‍♂️

Not my thing really

I lowkey was not paying enough attention after the first track but this was alright

Kinda all sounded the same but was nice

Yeah 👍

It’s ok I’m ok

An album

I want my mtv 🤩

It just kept going

Wow I love how it just kept going

Not really my thing

Ok

Fine

Maybe it’s a bit cruel to give this 2 stars but it went on for wayyy too long

Very good very nice

How does an entire album get outdone by the instrumental single. Jamie’s solo stuff is way better

It’s fine idk

I mean it’s good but I still don’t understand

This was so nice to listen to I’m very confused…

The screaming is so… John Lennon always finding a way to irritate me

For a list of 1001 albums you HAVE to listen to before you die, there a ton of just whatever, mostly unremarkable albums

Sometimes I feel like doing this project is a waste of time and sometimes I come across a great album like this and it’s actually worth it 🙂‍↔️

That was fun

Never listened to one of their albums before and not really my thing but this was good

It’s fun idk

Good but -1 for that one guitar song

Idk what’s so special about this that’s it’s on this list

Came and went kinda

Would have been a 4 if it wasn’t so longgggg

Tiny Dancer outshines everything else easily unfortunately

Hmm I kinda want to give this a 5 but for now I’ll give it a 4. I guess we’ll just have to adjust 🤗🤷‍♂️

It’s fine? Maybe I should start being harder on these because I really don’t see why I had to listen to this before I died

Hmmm ok beatle

Like what are we doing here

On a mid streak ☹️

Yawning

Just not my thing

Is fine

I liked this idk

Really excellent and pretty short. A lot of other albums on this list should take notes…

It’s so boring mannn

Was honestly going to give this a 2 because why did I have to listen to it before I die and why was it so long but I’m kinda in a good mood so I’ll throw it a 3

Kinda boring

Blessed by the album generator today, one of my favorite albums of all time! Definitely my favorite album I’ve gotten so far. So excellent!

“He’ll give us what we need, it may not be what we want.” A few years ago I used to listen to sooooo much Kayne, I think he’s still my most listened to artist by a lot. The last release of his I heard was Donda, which was a little bit ago now. All of the stuff surrounding him has really turned me off from listening to him and his recent stuff. That being said, I hadn’t listened to this front to back in a few years and holy shit 😭 it’s still unbelievable. These songs are insane, especially for the time they came out. The only kinda weak one would be guilt trip imo. And I already had a feeling this would be low rated on here (people don’t like Kanye, or rap, or this album specifically) but damn 😅 Anyway great, great album! And Melodrama + this is probably the best back to back I’ll get on this whole thing

After great back to back albums I guess I’m back to my regularly scheduled whatever 😭

The production is gorgeous here, you can really tell this was released not too long after In Colour. Though that is definitely a better album. Feels like Jamie xx might be doing a lot of the heavy lifting here. Doesn’t overstay its welcome at least

Very nice!

Got bored of this

I won’t subject this to the long album tax because I thought it was really enjoyable actually, but still 3 hours is wayyy too much

Honestly this is fine but I can’t stand albums this long. Long album tax, overstayed its welcome!

Why is your band called The Band

Just not really my thing
