1001 Albums Summary

After the opening two tracks thought I was going to love this, ended up just kind of liking it. The rest of the album ranges from decent to mediorce to the outright bizarre. Probably will listen again at some point.

Common People and Disco 2000 are classics but that's about where my enjoyment of this ends. The instrumentals are pretty much all very catchy and well put together but the vocals do not work for me at all. Sometimes it sounds like he's singing without ever actually hearing the music he's singing over. I know the whisper singing is a stylistic choice but I just do not get on with it. Some of the lyrics are also cringe worthy to me. Maybe I'll like this a bit more on a second listen but as a first go round I am not a fan.

This is the stuff. Straight bangers. RIP Ozzy

A bunch of songs with annoying breathy vocals that go absolutely nowhere. Then you get to "Frankie Teardrop" which is wihtout question the most bizarre song I have ever heard. It's like if the ghoulish voiceover on Thriller was just the whole song. Just didn't really get this album at all.

First time listening to a Cure album in full. An enjoyable listen but nothing to write home about for me. The second half of the album started to lose my attention a little but I really liked the closing track, Will likely revisit this one at some point.

This is good but not great in my opinion. None of the 18 tracks here are bad by any means but there are no real hits either. Did expect more coming into it so maybe I liked it a little less due to that. Favourite song was probably Tumbling Dice.

I'd probably give this one a 3.5 but I'm going to elect to keep things positive and round up rather than down. This was my second consecutive Rolling Stones record after Exile On Main Street and I defiintely did enjoy this one more. The middle run of Live With Me to Midnight Rambler & the closing track are great. I'm very new to hearing Rolling Stones besides the major major hits and I think the more time I spend with this one I'll probably end up liking it even more.

Sounds perfectly fine but just found it largely uninteresting. Don't have much else to say. Empty Sky and The Fuse the standout tracks for me.

Didn't expect to enjoy this but I actually really loved it? Made me feel like I was sitting in an old school bar with everyone having a singsong and a good time. I love music that takes me out of reality for a short while.

Found myself tapping my foot and bobbing my head for pretty much the whole duration.
