1001 Albums Summary

can really hear where a lot of the stuff i listen to comes from, some songs don't quite hit for me though

i feel bad because alex loves this album but radiohead are one of those artists i can only really enjoy for about the length of a song, so this did feel a bit of a drag - i can appreciate it though, just not fully enjoy it. Exit Music (For A Film) is a banger of course, and there are other highlights but it mostly doesn't do it for me.

a lot of nostalgia tied up in this for me as my dad would have pink floyd on all the time. album flows well and i wasn't bored while listening but equally 1hr20 did feel quite long, but idk how much my brain has been rotted by <20min youth crew albums

I thought I'd enjoy this album a lot more, even despite the seemingly endless additions to the controversy section of his wikipedia page, but I really just found it meh.. My only real highlights bumping this up to a 3* were the features - Nicki Minaj really stole the show on Monster - so I think if the same album existed but with a different rapper I'd enjoy it better. I prefer the youtube mashup album Good Kid Twisted Fantasy (highly recommend) Will I listen again? No.

loved the vibe of this, possibly enhanced by it being another sunny day. didn't blow me away but equally no qualms. will i listen again ? quite possibly yes

I'm sorry this album is probably really influential or something for being on this list but that vocal style just rubs me the wrong way too much, only made it half of the way through before giving up - i can appreciate what it's doing though so i think 2* is reasonable.. Will i listen again ? definitely not
