1001 Albums Summary

Started really strong and catchy and ended with softer songs, still caught my ear throughout.

Was great to hear the classics in a live setting. I rated this a four at first, having the perspective of what was to come brings this up to a five easily. There's a reason it's one of the classics.

A fun album with pop punk inspiration that mellows out towards the end. Maybe feels a little incohesive, but many catchy singles!

A fun prog rock inspired album.

An easy listen, a few drags but overall catchy tunes.

An amazing piece from it's time.

Great vibe to fill an afternoon of cleaning or something related.

I can respect that they're some of the pioneers of punk, but holy crap 80% of this album is hot garbage. Songs that sound like a copy of the first one- not to mention the creepy one. Definitely a product of it's time. Still, we wouldn't be where we are without them so I can give it some credit for that.

I thought What I'm Feelin (Good) was sampling a ringtone before I realized this was from before ringtones sounded like this. A true pioneer, 9/10.

Groovy and awesome. Hopefully the sentiment of the words is okay 😅

Honestly didn't expect it to be as engaging as it was.

Gr8 4.5 if I could. We'll see how I feel about it when the newness factor wears off

A classic that holds up

Yeah okay.

Definitely 90s, but it was a fun listen. Wish I listened to the hoover dam song at the hoover dam

It was okay at first but absolutely won me over by the second listen.

It was okay, the album art was more interesting than the songs.

Really fun! Captured a similar energy to the violent femmes

How does one make an album that invokes a feeling throughout the entirety? 4.5/5

It feels like the wrote a hit and just had to fill an album to meet the label's requirements. It's about what I expect from Paul. I'd listen to it but it's a little lifeless.

Started out okay, liked the experimental parts. How many remixes do you need? Just make a decision.

Some good stuff, the originals of most were better.

Great album, I am glad I revisited this as I didn't realize just how based Bowie was the first time. Edit: Bowie, I keep finding myself coming back to this. You were such a beautiful person. Weeks later I still find myself having these songs pop in my head.

Fun album

What a lame man, a cheater, hypocrite, and a misogynist.

I slept on this album, this is good.

Holy crap I didn't realize you could make an album sound like it was happening in the background while simultaneously playing directly in your ear. Songs were good though. Just listen to the MTV live.

Some pioneering songs but also some clear fillers

Fun folk!

Honestly better than I thought after all the memes but still really odd and just a rip of black culture.

Definitely not going for catchy on every song but there's lots of emotions pointed in the right direction.

I understand the appeal, it definitely inspires emotion. One can take this genre and improvise in a million different ways, but it still sounds intentional. They did it very well.

A fun album, some classics that are definitely unique!

Yeah, it was an interesting listen. I probably won't listen to it again. I was a little disappointed by the I Was A Teenage Werewolf False Start song. Am I supposed to be impressed by the band member being a total fucking asshole? Loss of a star.

Catchy songs that seemed to have gained popularity from the shock factor and the crude humor of the time. He points out society being hypocritical but still uses backhanded arguments. Dr. Dre definitely captured a sound that embodied him and it was well done, but I'm glad Eminem has matured from this, not saying his music has gotten better, but we should all move on.

It scratched some kind of itch. Definitely musically talented.

Just didn't hit like it has for me before. Maybe I will feel differently later.

Dramatic shift in sound from the first song to the rest of the album. They were almost onto something.

"Nice, nice, nice- wait they made that song??"

Idk what it was but man was it really forgetable. Nothing really stood out this listen.

Oh they made that song? The rest was not really notable.

The man.

Not exactly inspirational. Also, I could not tell if the horse analogy was a joke lmao.

Like half bangers and half boring ones that aged appropriately. But the bangers are certified classics so 4.

Honestly not a bad album. Get some therapy honey. And oh shes the one that popularized that song?

Just wasn't feeling it.

Little bit of Ricky Lee Jones with a light dash of cranberries. Maybe some inspiration for Nora Jones?

Had me tuned in the whole time
