1001 Albums Summary

Killer stuff! Really feels like an exploration of women's relationships with each other. Dolly don't miss.

Never made it through a whole Dylan album before. Wanna put it through a couple more listens to focus on the lyrics, but great instrumentation and pretty seamless album given the length.

I should probably be less judgy of a lot of classic rock. This is a good album I wouldn't have expected to like, but it was pretty good. really liked the dual rhythm guitars on Fooled Again. but American Girl is the real standout for a reason. Solid 5/10, good to listen to, but I'm not going back to it very often.

I like it, solid album, some nice guitar work and fun tunes. Don't expect to revisit often.

Good. That first song has a killer bass line I should learn. Listened at work and didn’t pay a ton of attention

Shout out Big Lebowski

Shout out Big Lebowski

Love the horns on this! Fela's sax work is incredible, and the shots of brass have such a great texture. Bass is just a bit hypnotic and breaks the mold every once in a while, to perfect effect.

Love the 3-day run of Springsteen-Fela Kuti-this. Really living up the saxophone! This is probably my favorite in that regard. I absolutely all the space the sax is given to be light and airy. The dynamics of it really show how great the range of timbres is. Love some Bossa Nova and almost never listen to it. This is gonna be on repeat quite a bit.

Its aight. I did like the jangly guitar

Damn, who knew the Beastie Boys were good

Love hearing another version of Coat of Many Colors. Also just a wonderful and gorgeous record.

Love when 2 dudes hate each other

It's cool to see a bit of a different side of early no wave, but I think there's as many hits as misses. It doesn't have a deep enough atmosphere to feel like I'm losing myself in it, but it also doesn't feel focused or energetic enough to build that anxious energy something like Buy the Contortions has. 3/5

No Loveless, but still that wonderful warm, sad, fuzzy blanket of an album

I mean. It's Dark Side of the Moon. C'mon

Kinda goofy, a great basis for further synth music, but I don't know if it's aware it's goofy. Just kinda aight.

Ehh

First listen was meh, but I like it. The samples are symple but are DJ’d well with some cool expressive moments

Some cool stuff, some meh stuff. Liked Legs a lot

Really liked this. Reminds me that the blues can just be fun. Last song didn’t need to be there. 3.5/5

Almost gave this a 2 for being a bland, flat, boring blues record. But a second listen with headphones really helped it out. Gonna give it a 4 for benefit of the doubt, but probably more of a strong 2

Ya, that’s a 10

One of the flattest albums I've listened to in a long time. Weenie Beanie is the only standout.

Great vibes, creates a fantastic space. Really cool to have this be the pick so close to Olivia Rodrigo's new album. That takes a lot of timbral and songwriting cues from this but loses a lot of the production that makes this really moody.

Liked it. Wanted a touch less American stuff but it's not really fair to judge it on what I wanted when I liked what I got.

The goat. Literally kicked a trashcan when it didn't win AOTY at the Grammys

Really cool to sit with some Dub. Had a great time!

Like listening to a mental breakdown. Incredibly effective and deeply uncomfortable. It’s unfortunate Em has become the lots of complicated words guy cause when he just cuts right to it he nails it.

Pretty entertaining take on 60s psychadelia. Fun

Win Butler has made a career of singing about neighborhoods and phones bad. This is one of the good ones about neighborhoods. He has also been in a lot of NBA celebrity all-star games. He is good at that. He is bad at saying phone bad.

Felt more like an aesthetic exercise than anything. I think they just dive too deep into the whole sci-fi thing. But every once in a while it really works. Bellamy does pull out some great melodies.

Just straightforward good punk. Love hearing the OG For the Love of Ivy. I didn't know the Japandroids version was a cover, but hearing the more adventurous original was pretty sick

We got the funk baby

Sex dwarf

Makes you wanna dance
