1001 Albums Summary

I liked it.

They were very good. It's a shame they banged each other and ruined the duo. The downside was my mum kept trying to sing along

Fun wee bangers

Ye

This is boring.

More like Cheers for fears - songs for a big cheer and because whoop whoop this is class

Fuck this is long.

It's a cold October day in 1984, you're driving down to the South of England. You rummage through the unfamiliar car and find a tape from 4 years before and you put it in. You finally see the sign for Brighton as the end of Happy Death Men plays. A fitting song.

Not my favourite album by her but IT'S ALRIGHT

Kick it!

A really strong first half but it really dips near the end. just like the bands trajectory.

A full extra star for Helplessly Hoping

Very enjoyable, weird I never knew of them considering they're like proto-post rock. I'll enjoy listening to it again

Absolutely not.

That was enjoyable.

Alot more mellow than I expected it to be. I never gave Black Sabbath a proper listen really

The "North American scum-someone Great-all my friends" run of songs is unbelievable

I think Guns N Roses mostly suck but they do have some bangers

Not bad but I feel like this same album has been done better. Some nice guitar work.

Nice background music

We were driving through the hills in Albania and this was class music for it. I was bombing down the mountain to stairway to heaven

A bit of the same but fun and short

I really enjoyed this. 3 stars is harsh but 3.5

This was FUN

Some pipes on your wan. Not my favourite songs by her but definitely an interesting album

I actually thought this was going to be one of those albums where it's like "yeh OK they're one of the OGs and they made new paths but now it's a bit dated and boring" but I really enjoyed it entirely. I listened to it a few years ago on the actual autobahn and I was way too stressed out to enjoy it. I hate not having half stars because 4 is a wee bit too high.

I liked this when I was young and there's still some good songs and it was important 25 years ago but I'm going to rate it through modern lens

I love pavement.

I enjoyed this alot, I think this Ozward Ozbourne is going places

Pure class, I wanted to crash the car and shoot a fascist (RIP CK)

Kill jester

Shite

Not a bad listen but definitely not my favourite clash songs

It was nice but ronan said it was a solid 4.4 so I went in with high expectations. IT WAS NOT

Good background music, each song was different enough!

Great guitar

It's been years since I listened to this album and it was great revisiting it. I really enjoyed it.

American Pie is a banger and the rest of the album is quite nice. A decent listen

This was class

I started calling everyone toots and it made me want to go on the sesh in a weird way

Probably a 2.5, I was kinda dreading listening to this album and held it off but it was alright

It was quite good

I used to really like this but listening back I wasn't that fussed.

Could not be arsed with them. Not terrible, it's just that everything they ever done was done better by someone better.

I got very bored of this. Took like 3 days to finish. Sorry pal

Forgot how many bangers they have. Still very toothless for a Derry band nevermind 70s Troubles punk, which is impressive in its own right.

I thought this was class. You can clearly tell where Nirvana got their influences. Some ripping guitar.

I loved this album but I feel like they're slowly becoming cringe, but it was entertaining me and it was long. I think it'd be a 3.5 really. 3 is harsh

I appreciate this and the bizarre lyrics are great but sometimes the chamber pop aspect is a bit too much for me.

This was better than I expected, some bops

Not my favourite REM album but still very good and I would listen to it again

I think Prince is overrated. Not bad by any stretch but still overrated.

How haven't I heard this before? I enjoyed it

I don't know what to think of this so I'm giving it 2

This was so nice. I love long songs and I never heard these before. I'll listen to this again

This loses a full star because Butler was a creep.

Unreal guitar but Mustaves voice annoys me. Peace Sells rips though.

I expected not to like this but I recognised pretty much all of the songs and enjoyed it more than I should.

Scrubs ass music

No thanks

Nostalgia will not let me give this anything less than a 5.

I liked this, very underground dindgy vibes

This was a fun little number

3 seems low but 4 is too high. But I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Good lad for having a song called PLO style

Pj Harvey is the queen and I'll forgive her for supporting fox hunting

I thought I'd like this more due to the trip hopness off it but I wasn't arsed to listen to it

Class. I love the absolute jarring change of tone from the title song to the 2nd song.

I thought this would suck but I was enticed by the use of the flute.

I enjoyed this. Some bangers. It's the baseline of what I enjoy but doesn't fully scratch an itch. 3.5* in reality

I'm not really into Elvis Constello but I also can't help but enjoy the songs at the same time?

I owe you an apology ABBA, I wasn't familiar with your game

Better than I thought

Pure bops

I like his voice but cba

It's alright, easy listening. I like SFAD a lot so it gets an extra wee bit

I was dreading this and I was right to.

Scrubs ass music

Boring.

I like this

My favourite album by them. Some melodies.

Some of his best

Iconic

I'm pretty sure my mum told me I'm conceived to this album which is maybe why I have a soft spot for it. Title track, we will not be lovers, world party. All class. I like the sweet thing cover aswell. 3 1/2

I have a lot of time for her. Probably 3.5

I like some of her songs but not really on this album. I didn't hate it.

I actually don't think they're good

Not my favourite Bowie album but very consistent and a classic. Andy Warhol is one of my favs

This absolutely slapped

Pulp are good craic to be fair

I drive too fast to this

It was nice but 🤷‍♂️

A bit samey but alright

Class. Nostalgia does some carrying though

I like king crimson but this isn't it

I like this. Cool dude

Fun

It was alright. The guitar absolutely ripped.

I liked that. Great music to have on when I don't know what to listen to. Probably a high 3.

I like Nicos voice but she's better off in a group than going solo, the wee nazi

He is experienced

It was nice for a quiet morning. A bit nostalgic.

Never rated them that much. Not terrible

Cba

I actually never really give early Beatles a chance but yeh fair enough

Yeh alright, it probably slapped in the 60s

Pyramids is such a belter. Great album

Not my favourite Pj Harvey album but still good

I had a good time listening to this. 3.5

If I played instruments I wouldn't have done that

Wasn't terrible. A high 2.

That was pretty decent. Never heard of these dudes but expected some shite country music but was happily proved wrong

Pretty fun

Very nice. 3.5

I liked it but Amy didn't. I bet it's good on headphones

Proto-nirvana. Class though.

I thought this was going to be heavy metal and not beach boys. Alright though

Since I've Been Loving You in such a good song that this album is bumped up to a 4

I remember not liking this that much after elephant as a teen but that's obvious now because it's definitely a much more mature album and I was a wee soft child. I really liked it and while it doesn't have the same level of bangers it just showcases how strong they were.

This was nice. Really chill and well produced. I enjoyed it

Perfectly fine. But I think it's overrated

I was obsessed with this when I first moved to Manchester so it's up there for me even if he does look like a sleep paralysis demon

Some nice bits. Not unpleasant by any means

I know this is supposed to be one of their best but it only has a few songs that are actually worth it. It's not a bad listen overall.

A bit too long but nice. No real standouts.

Way too long. Some bops, but if it was half the length I'd give it a 3

Fair enough Beatles, you were pretty good

I used to hate them when I was 13 but I went in with an open mind and disregarded my younger self because I had just discovered Radiohead and the Mars Volta and therefore was insufferable. My teenage self may have been pretentious but he was still insightful. Shite. An extra point since it was quite short.

This was fucking class. I really enjoyed it

Radiohead always gets 5 stars. It's not their best album but still has some of their best songs. Thoms voice is incredible in this. Bones is underrated.

Very samey but not bad

Pretty decent, never been a fan but I wasn't bored. I like that they have a song that's Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden on the album Iron Maiden

Fuck me that was shite

I love new order but this album isn't my favourite. 3.5 Edit: I got technique and this mixed up. This is unreal.

It was decent, I enjoyed it especially after that Black Crowes shite

This actually surprised me, I expected to hate it but it was alright.

Enjoyable, a nice listen

Sucked

I wonder if he's ever smoked a joint

I actually quite like them but this kind of sucks. Lsd is likely required

It gets samey but a good listen

I was happy to get a bit ethnic in here

Some good bits but I kind of zoned out

A great album with some of the best Beatles songs but loses a star for some filler. 3.5

Some bangers but meh

I'm such a sucker for 80s synths and this is no exception.

5 stars no notes. I also listened to the B sides like man O war and pearly because I want more. I also listened to the unfinished version of Nude because that's also amazing. OK I had loads of notes

This bored me. Like, it wasn't terrible. Just meh

I'm extremely bias because when it came out I would look out the window of the steamy Manchester bus, listening to this on my broken iPod that needed me to hold the aux cable way too hard, and hope that a Zoey Deschannel manic pixie dream girl would see me and think I was mysterious and break my heart.

Riding a fine line between chill and boring.

A bit more happening than Fulfillingness. Probably 3.5

Banger after banger

Meh

What the fucking is making whoopy? This guy was friends with gangsters and he can't even say fuck

Class album except Moonchild which is shite. Great cover. Fuck Gary

I wanted to like it but I didn't so I'm sorry crowgirl

I'm ashamed that I haven't really listened to a lot of them but I they're definitely good.

This was good craic. 3.5

Absolutely fine. I think the album is about weed.

I never knew they were supposed to sound like this. Decent enough

This has been on my rotation for about 25 years at this point so it has to get a 5. Territorial Pissings blew me away when I was a kid and it's still on most of my playlist.

Yup

I enjoyed this, some wee bangers. I'd definitely sneak a few of these in if I was a dj in a hipster bar

Just good fun

Flumes makes me want to abuse my body. When they're good, they're amazing. Cba with a lot of the slower stuff

That was fucking unreal. That 80s brooding synth just gets me in the giblets

Not my favourite album by them but a nice listen

This actually was pretty shit. I was never aware of how much Tom Petty sucked

It was alright, interesting but I wouldn't go back to it

Hell yeah this ruled

Great album, the ambience bit was a nice touch. Maybe I wouldn't be in the mood for this album some days but today I am

Weird Bowie is the Best Bowie

Inoffensive but boring NEXT

What a great group of lads

Too horny

A lot less polished which I liked. A surprising album

I enjoyed this. It became more bizarre and unhinged as it went on and that is how I think life should be

I honestly think she is shite. She has some good songs but absolute fucking droll

I want to be hipster about this but every song is genuinely great. She still shouldn't have headlined Glastonbury tho

Iggy and Bowie is such a winning combination . A pure joy to listen to. An idiot he is not.

Nice. Relaxed.

I used to like this album a lot more than now. Technically it's impressive and enjoyable but also feels empty?

Woah this was darker.

Pure class.

That was fun wee time.

Some great parts but some filler. It got better as it went on

I also thought I'd hate this but it surprised me. 3 arms out of 5

Very pleasant. It was good Easter egg making music

This is certainly music

I enjoyed this. A weird fun time

Unreal. Heaven makes me want to do karaoke with a load of japanese alcoholic company men

What the hell, this was unreal. Brilliant guitar. Pj hasn't heard of him which annoyed me because he's made me listen to so much wank folk country music and never touched on this

I know very little about the stones other than by osmosis but Okay they can be pretty good

Just raw and wriggling.

I just could not be arsed with Prince. Too many girls screaming in this aswell for some reason.

I don't know what to say. Pavement good

Aye it's fine. Fair play to her but nothing that really stood out and spoke to me .

Yeh no

Vibes Indeed

Some bangers but a bit repetitive

Short and sweet. Brilliant album for cooking on a Sunday. Good album cover.

Longtime is good but very samey.

I admit I skimmed through songs . It's not bad, just not for me and extremely long

I never really gave this a chance because it was slower but it's honestly very good, each song standouts. The boss really is the boss. I also got my 5k personal best listening to it

Vëry gœd

The first song I thought "right this is going to be one of those albums that was groundbreaking at the time but now it sounds a bit lacking" but the more it went on the better it got. Especially after CTA. Very textured sounds. Mind Gardens was insane on headphones. I particularly liked Everybody's been burned and why

I don't know how I thought NERD was but it wasn't this. This would be good if it's your friends band from music school and they're doing a gig as a bit of fun. Otherwise, CBA

Elvis Costello's voice just doesn't do it for me but I like the actual songs . It was also a decent length for an album and a decent enough time

Good Times forever

I love the weirdness. Peak Weird Bowie

A fun time but I did zone out a bit. But definitely full of jams

I always liked Halcyon. The rest sounded like a sonic the hedgehog music so I was very into it. Probably a 3.7

Nice background music if not samey . 2.5

It's like that Rick and Morty episode with "human music"

GENRE DEFINING

The best beepboops

I just like synth

I just didn't enjoy this sorry Bonnie

I was dreading this but it was honestly alright. Too long like a lot of these 90s-00s early albums tend to be . 2.5

Every song is just the Ace of Spades. I got very bored of this

I actually assumed I wouldn't be that arsed with this but it's quite a diverse album. The title track is probably the weakest in the album

I listened to this on the Autobahn ane it just wasn't a vibe

It was alright. Bat out of hell is great. Some bangers and some mehs. Better than expected

I understand these were essentially two different solo albums and they don't thematically go together but there's a 5/5 album between the two of these once you cut out a lot of the fluff. Some great songs in speakerboxx and the first half of The Love Below is chock-full of bangers until it just kind of veers off. 3.5 overall

Every song is great. The cherry on top was it was the exact length as my drive to work which is satisfyingly

I used to love this in my 20s but for some reason now I don't

Never heard of these guys before but that was great fun

I'm a big shamed to admit I haven't listened to this but you can see why they're still popular now. That album suits so many different generations. A great time

This made me want to do drugs

I always thought this album was a little too poppy but I still enjoyed it. It was definitely the start of the decline of Muse.

This was great fun but trust me to listen to it the only day it's raining

The more upbeat songs were great. I did enjoy it but I felt it could be better.

Whatever zappa

Come on , this is cover to cover certified perfection. It's not even my favourite album by him but it's just objectively

Big massive MEH

She's actually very good

Some nice riffs in there but the song names were better than the songs themselves

Hmmm

It started off fairly weak but got better over time.

This was nice .

It's decent. I like Jim's voice . I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. 3.5

This is great. I listened to it twice

Classssss

I wanted to hate this so I could make a joke like "removed a rib and stabbed myself with it to end my suffering" or something maybe even funnier. But it was alright if too long and samey. That's why it loses a star.

They really put everything into Free Bird eh?

It's very good

Good

Coltrane is just so good.

That was quite good actually. Probably a 3.5 but I'll give it a 4 because I'm feeling nice.

Short, a nice wee listen

A great albums for drinking loads of cans under a bridge when you're 16

Why do we have to listen to this before we die? I honestly think this is the worst thing I've listened to. Absolute unadulterated horse cum

They're a weird one because they're clearly good. Jamie xx is a good writer and musician. Their songs are inoffensive but the powers at be were trying to make them headliners which they are not. They're a shoulder band made to fill up playlists but a good one.

Just a good time. This boys are going places

Not their best one but a decent listen

I listen to this often. Pleasant Street is such a tune.

Absolutely fine but I wouldn't listen again.

Do queen have good songs ? Yes. Are they overrated? Absolutely. Is this album good? No.

Hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah

Needs more songs from shrek

I actually thought it was going to be pop bangers so I was surprised . It was still nice and well produced . The first half of the album sounded like Bond tracks.

Ahh that's who Scott walker is

It just wade me want to listen to better jack white stuff. But he's still good. Very few people make a guitar sound like that

Lots of Mancunian memories to this.

I remember having the James Bond song in my sex playlist when I was 20 and now I look back confused at this jarring decision but luckily no one ever had to endure it .

Bowie is always good

This was actually a delight

Short. Alright.

He's good at painting a picture isn't he?

These guys are all right

Decent. A high 3

Unreal album

Good fun

Still Bruce but not my favourite

He is my man

All Radiohead gets 5

It's alright. Some nice songs . I am a fan though

The band are iconic for a reason but I think I've listened to The Last Waltz so much that I can't hear the studio versions the same way

Boring shit, all covers

I like this

There's so many good songs in this and it's the first Radiohead album i ever listened to. Totally underrated.
