1001 Albums Summary

Iconic. Special if you will

Lots of storytelling - sorta like a country song

It’s big and loud but not for me

This album has been in my car for years

Now a lot more informed when I say: not a fan of Elton John. Impressive composition and very “big” but not for me

Some good samples in this one

Classique

I thought deep purple were a bit of a joke tbh. But some of these riffs and interplay between the different instruments are tight af

Now I’ve heard more T.Rex which is nice but tbh it’s the most for me with these guys I think.

Perfect train music

Sensing a theme here lol. Some of the bars in this are ridiculous. Must be one of the funniest rappers going.

Some interesting tunes but a lot is quite samey. Lyrics make me wonder about what he was going through at the time of recording

Every track is like 4 minutes too long. And the sweeping searching droning does not build to anywhere satisfying.

Is it the “Lahs” or “L.A.’s”?

Yeah sick

A lot of effort when into this album. Ambitious in scope. It’s fine. Quite ambling for me. Studio rawness doesn’t do it for me.

I wish all my audiobooks were translated into something more likewikey this’ll dum

Wow this was astonishing. Spooky, sad, tender, all of it

Really intriguing stuff . Very diverse. Now I can stop mumbling “mmm bm bm mm mmm mmm mmm FORTY FIVE”

I’m very biased when it comes to the kinks but god they were good

20 minute rock rhapsody hell yes

Love this. Raw and very interesting considering what was going on in funk / disco at the time. Melanie believes some of the jingles were copied by other artists and that jorge Ben should invest in better IP lawyers

The pet shop boys is a crap name for a band…and they make shite music too

Yeah forgot how many bangers are on this album. King.

Love this album. Nut for the liberal use of radio EQ on Julian Casablanca’s’ vocals

Very wispy and a bit directionless at points. Didn’t hold my attention. Final tunes a banger tho.

Wasn’t for me. Went nowhere 🥁

I never liked joy division because of a not-friend who was obsessed. Don’t think this album moved the dial much

What an interesting voice Tim Buckley has. Intricate and impressive.

hoooooweeeee

Really fun. Captures a real teenage angsty feel.

Still good but not as fire as the other BM album on here

Sounds like music written by an arsehole.

Nice to go beyond the hits. Tracks were all decent but none really shone out for me

Yeh pretty cool stuff and sounded like a lot of fun to record. Not always down with the shouty staccato new wave but this was deserving of an exception

Jumped the gun with this one and listened a few weeks ago. Incredible stuff.

Goodness gracious. Liked the atmosphere. Heavy metal lyrics are always a bit cringe to me. And some of the solos were just a bit limp for my liking.

Pretty hungover listen so didn’t vibe with me too much. But enough here to warrant a re-listen at some point.

Listened on the back of a motorcycle through mountains. Very nice moment. I like the spaciness of the sounds at points and the liberal use of flute.

Actually really fun. I wish they continued in the more horn-forward style tbh

Cool shit iconic album

God I loved this the texture the percussion dat sax. A sunny day in Fukuoka

Nice music to read to. Enjoyed on a train to Busan.

Good vibes

Nice to hear this side of Santana. Why is oye como va such a banger no matter whose version?

It’s a very muddy sound. Never quite sure what they’re trying to make me listen to.

Always here for heavy use of vocal effects and synths n shit. I like the vocals when they come in and relatively withheld percussion for the time

Unfair as this rating includes to other tunes by Pete tosh. Still. Lit.

Another bloody Morrisey album…that I actually rather linked. Caught as I walked through Kyoto on a quiet morning with lots of sun

Hawktuah. Not the right moment to listen. Soz guys. Actually you know what, just a bit unremarkable for me

I really like this

Quaint

Absolutely pumping. Never felt too fussed about thin lizzy’s studio albums but this is really making me reevaluate

Plinky plonky cool

Thought it would be harder. But actually very blues forward. Helpful to situate in rock genealogy

So many classics

Dunno what it is about Bob Dyland. A great deal of it is not for me. Dylan’s voice is so big in the mix in this album to the detriment of accompanying parts

Unfinishable

I don’t know what she was saying but it sounded good

Sounds like trey Parker parody

Some classic songs from youth on here

Eh some good bops

Fun fun fun

Happy sad.

Can’t believe that’s his real voice lol

Goes hard
