destiny's child would probably be completely forgotten by now if beyonce didnt go on to be a bigger star. throbbing gristle no matter if you like it will stay with you for a while | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-17-08 |
Or UK Garage… | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
Haven't got these ones yet. My exposure to industrial is kinda mainstream (Rammstein and Nine Inch Nails). It's not my go to genre but I'm interested to find out why it has such a low rating. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
The Destiny's Child album is definitely one of the worst ones on the list. I was surprised by how cynical it came off, such a calculated and manufactured pile of nonsensical garbage.
TG wasn't my favorite experimental album on the list, I gravitate more towards John Zorn and Captain Beefheart, but still it definitely belongs on this list a hundred times over DC. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Survivor by Destiny's Child is a fine album, it should not have been the one by them chosen. Writing On the Wall is a better album with better songs and should have been the one chosen. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-22-08 |
I have found instances of this same phenomenon with other artists that I am more familiar with. If You’re Feeling Sinister by Belle and Sebastian is one example. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-22-08 |
So I’ve been listening to all 1089 of these albums for over three years now. I’m almost finished but I’ve been listening to them chronologically (like the book is structured). I’ve encountered the generator during this undertaking. My question is, why would anyone want to listen to this list randomly, when you could note artist’s progression, how music eras evolve etc.? | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
The randomness of it is part of the thrill. “Oooooo what album will I get today?” | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
I imagine people are more likely to stick with it if there is more variety at the start. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
I tried to do it chronologically once. I've loved every Simon and Garfunkel album I've received during this project, but I don't have it in me to listen to that many mellow 60s folk tunes in such a short span. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
When you’re listening to an album not of your choosing for 1089 straight days, you have to have some variety to keep it fresh. 90s Britpop - 60s Psych - 80s Soul - 50s Jazz - 70s Punk - 00s RnB… etc.
ETA - also haven’t checked the full list so some albums are a total surprise, not just *when* they appear, but *that* they appear. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
I personally really like the random nature of the generator. I feel like (for me) listening chronologically would get a bit tedious as you'd be hearing a lot of similar stuff back to back. Having said that I do wish I was always hearing individual artists in order. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
The randomness is part of the fun and I never would have thought of doing this if it wasn’t for the generator | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
Because it’s fun to listen to Slipknot, Simon and Garfunkel and Lauren hill in one week. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
Never have I had so much excitement at 4am. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
I'd say missing an artist's progression is the only downside.
I love the random nature of the generator so far, and it feels like I've been assigned a task (an enjoyable one) every day, giving me a reason to listen to an entire album I probably wouldn't have otherwise.
I'd have really struggled to get through the 50s and 60s in one go to be honest! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
Artist progression is a huge downside to the generator but due to the concept it's hard to get around that. It would suck to get Bowie's Black star before any of his other albums. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
For me personally, there’s very little work involved when using the generator. I found out about the book before the list, too, and initially wasn’t super interested in trying to listen to them all. I just couldn’t imagine waking up every morning at 5am, looking in the book, finding the right album on Apple Music, etc, before leaving to drive to work. Sure, maybe I could have downloaded a week at a time on Sunday nights or something, but I wasn’t looking at it like that. So when I found the generator, it seemed perfect. Plus I like that you get to keep a little profile with your thoughts and ratings. Good for you for doing it all manually and in order, though! Genuinely.
Edit: I just realized I didn’t address the chronological part…to me, if it being random makes it easier for me to do it all, I’m fine with it. I can see merit in both random and chronological approaches. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
I quit the random project at 200 because the project was bringing me down. I have wondered if listening out of order has affected my experience. The jarring changes in production quality and style threw some albums into an unfair light. I think that's a me problem though. I believe music has an expiration date but no one else seems to.
I did the 1001 songs list chronologically and listening to that over several days/weeks at a few hours at a time, you can feel the change and shift of music. You get the thrill of the Beatles bursting onto the scene. You get soaked in punk, then new wave, and then grunge hits - it's a fun experience. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
Chronological order doesn’t feel particularly important to me. Even outside the project, I don’t normally approach an artist or genre from the beginning and carry through to the end. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
I do a bit of both. I like getting a randomly assigned album but if an artist has 3 or more albums on the list I save them to play later in a listening party/marathon over a weekend.
My end goal is to make my own list. One that is genre diverse, less UK/US centric and not loaded with the usual suspects. I don't know if we really need 4 Byrds albums, 5 Led Zeppelin albums and most of the albums associated with Neil Young, but I'm having fun finding out :)
EDIT: why do I like random mode? It keeps me on my toes. New Wave one day, Goth Rock the next, be surprised when a favourite album appears. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
As discussed [in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/1001AlbumsGenerator/comments/1esupmi/add_date_album_was_generated_to_history/) i've now added date for each album to the history page. However for now it's just on desktop. The mobile version needs some work for it to fit properly. Will have a look at that.
Also added a new stats page with some more stuff.
Not sure where this page belongs yet, but the long-term goal is to highlight newly added reviews. Currently there's so many thumbed up reviews on the album pages so the new reviews always ends up very very far down.
And well, i also added some extra stats. More things may go into this page eventually: [https://1001albumsgenerator.com/stats/reviews](https://1001albumsgenerator.com/stats/reviews) | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
Cool. The “latest reviews” section is missing the star ranking given by the reviewer. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-18-08 |
Yea that's fixed now.
I also re-arranged a few things and added a link to this page from the regular stats page. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
You’re doing great work. Thanks! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Thank you! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Hello! I’m trying to find the best music generator for beginners please , any advice ? Thanks | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Not sure this is the right subreddit for this ask… | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Like ai? Smelly | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Chic's Risqué marked my 545th album today, putting me just over the 50% mark. I've had an absolute blast doing this project, and coming to this subreddit is always a treat. Here is my project summary so far, so feel free to applaud or roast me as you see fit: [https://1001albumsgenerator.com/shares/637c0efb9ca66631fe4ff4aa](https://1001albumsgenerator.com/shares/637c0efb9ca66631fe4ff4aa)
I'm excited to keep plugging along towards the finish line! | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
I appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into your review of the Ryan Adams album!
I agree with many if your highly rated albums. Isn’t this project fun? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Thank you! I was really torn about what to do when it came to his albums and I just tried to approach it the best way I could. It sucks that we seem to have to make a lot of these "separate the art from the artist" choices these days, and it's tough, because everyone is going to feel very differently about it.
It's been an absolute blast. It gives me something to talk about with my wife, my friends, and my colleagues, and I think it's really given me an avenue to learn about myself as well. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
I always like looking over these just to see how much I disagree with. Yours is the first that has made me nod my head in appreciation at some of your 5 star picks, and you haven't hurt any of my precious babies with your 1 star picks. Well done! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Thanks! Yes, I love looking at other people's lists and searching for thing to shake my head at in shame. Glad you didn't have to do that for mine! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
ah syd barrett with the one star makes me a little sad | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I could not get into that one. I think I just don't like a lot of late sixties or early seventies psychedelica. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Need Some Suggestions Please.
Going on a road trip in a couple of weeks that will take me into the middle of nowhere without reception. I would like some suggestions for albums that are missing from the official and user added lists to get me through camping and all of the driving that I can download on Spotify.
Give me your missing all-timers!
Edit: My total driving time will be about 48 hours, so don't be shy, lay them on me! | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
I'm not sure exactly what's on the list - I checked one out before signing up but obviously that was only 1001 albums. The list here is bigger. I also have no idea what users have submitted.
That said here's some albums that I remember being surprised as not being on the list I looked at.
The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
Lateralus - Tool
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven - Godspeed You! Black Emperor
The Mollusk - Ween
Also some albums that I like but don't really deserve to be on the list
Sorry - Meg Myers
Mitau - Audrey Fall | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Not sure if they’ve been added but:
My Life -Iris Dement, is a great folky album
Workers Playtime - Billy Bragg, gorgeous songs about heartbreak
Equinoxe- Jean-Michel Jarre, perfect electronic instrumental album to listen to if you are driving in an area with majestic views. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Second for the Mollusk! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Second for Godspeed! Phenomenal album. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Any particular music style? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Modest Mouse is probably one of the biggest artist snubs on the list, and *The Lonesome Crowded West* happens to be both their best record (imo) AND the perfect album for a long road trip to the middle of nowhere. *This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think Abo*ut and *The Moon & Antarctica* are both great listens too.
I'll also second another commenters suggestion of *The Mollusk* by Ween, its my favorite album of all time so I'd crazy not to! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Third for the Mollusk! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam
The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
Yo La Tengo - May I Sing With Me
Add N To (X) - Avant Hard
Urusei Yatsura - We Are Urusei Yatsura | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
Really depends on your music taste. But some rock solid suggestions from me:
The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers
Marlon Williams - My Boy
The Mutton Birds - Salty
Magdalena Bay - Mercurial World
Porter Robinson - Nurture
The Decemberists - The King is Dead
Bright Eyes - Cassadaga | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
The only thing off limits is newer pop country. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-19-08 |
If you’re into hardcore punk with a bit of a twist, I recommend Turnstile’s GLOW ON. It became one of my favorite albums of 2021, and brought the band to a wider audience. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
If you don't have any problem listening to music in Spanish, I highly recommend:
* La grasa de las Capitales by Serú Girán
* Artaud by Pescado Rabioso
* Clics modernos by Charly García
* Dynamo by Soda Stereo | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Added! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Going to go through these tonight! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Will take a spin through and see what sticks. Thank you! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I haven't thought about Modest Mouse in a while. Great pick! Added | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Kasabian - self titled debut
The Cranberries - I prefer debut album (Linger, Dreams) but the 2nd album has Zombie, Ridiculous Thoughts
Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Whipping Boy - Heartworm (the best Irish album you've never heard) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Toxicity - System of a Down
Shocked it wasn’t on the real list and that it hasn’t been put on the user list yet. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
Whoa, I used to jam that when I was younger. Great pick, time for a relisten! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
What are your stats with 1 star and 5 star albums?
I'm stingy with my 5 star ratings but I won't hesitate to give an album 1 star if I believe it is inessential listening or truly bad.
It's been 114 days since I gave an album 5 stars (Pearl by Janis Joplin) and 3 days since my 1 star album (Arc of a Diver by Steve Winwood). Current 1 star streak: three days. No back to back 5 star albums yet.
How about you? | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’m pretty sparing with 1 stars. From 275 albums so far, I’ve only given a total of four 1 stars, maybe I’m a little more generous to albums then most other users, but maybe I hand out far too many fives as well. I feel almost every week or every other week at least I’m giving a 5 star to an album.
Edit (I thought I might add some stats):
1 day since my last 5 star (Meat is Murder by The Smiths) and 7 days since my last 1 star (Bone Machine by Tom Waits) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I am in a 2 1 1 1 1 streak and today doesn’t look great. Best ever was 4 2 4 5 4. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I don't get being sparing with any of the ratings - there's only 5, why not use the full range? 3 is my most common, by far, but I have a fairly standard distribution with like 10% 1s and 15% 5s. I have a 5 star today (Wire - Pink Flag) and the last one was a week ago (Amy Winehouse - Back to Black). The longest gaps between 5s have been 17 (once) and 16 (3 times).
Longest hot streak is 3, which I got twice - Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison, Sonic Youth - Dirty & Black Sabbath - Paranoid / Bjork - Debut, Pixies - Doolittle, Velvet Underground - VU. Had about 4 or 5 back to backs too. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Oh I use the full range, I just have reviewed more albums that are 1 star or 3 stars instead of 5 stars :) My notes include a score out of ten because not all albums fit neatly into the star rating. Reckon my average is 6/10 | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I'm also pretty stingy with the fives - I need to consider it a masterpiece, so actually 9/10 probably doesn't qualify!
Still had two in a row somehow - one expected (Rumours), one unexpected (Lamb Lies Down).
Even more sparing with the one star reviews, it needs to have no redeeming features really. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
It's a personal definition, for sure. All my 5 star albums so far are in fact 9/10 but are achingly close to 9.5/10. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’m still in the early days of this project (album #56). Most of my rankings fall in the 2-4 range. So far I’ve given seven 1’s and five 5’s. 1 is reserved for truly awful stuff with no redeeming qualities where I skipped every song. This is essentially a 0 to me. A 5 is also not something I give out carelessly either. If I’m giving something a 5 i already know it well and probably own a physical copy of it.
It’s been 16 rankings since my last 5, and I’ve had one back-to-back 5 streak. I did have a week of straight 4’s though which was nice. No back to back 1s and it’s been 26 since my last so that’s something. Either I’m getting kinder on the rankings or the randomizer has been taking it easy on me. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I'm sort of in between. So I don't really give 1s or 5s out that often.
I have a pretty wide taste in music. I have generated 23 albums so far. Two albums I have given 1 star to, and 4 albums I have given 5 stars to.
A lot of other ones have teetered around the 3-4 mark; I think I have rated two albums 2 stars. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’m with you. The vast majority of these albums are on here because of their quality and historical heft — very few albums SHOULD be getting one stars by design. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Had to go back and check. I’m 177 in, have given 10 albums a 1 rating- last one was 2 weeks ago, and 24 albums 5 stars, last one yesterday (Parliament’s Mothership Connection).
For me to give only one star an album really has to piss me off that I was forced to listen to it. Like I really wasted that time. If I hear any musical effort, even if it’s not a genre I enjoy, I will usually give a two.
I love the rare occasion when I find an artist I didn’t know and they blow me away to where it’s an undeniable 5 stars. That’s the magic within this project. I’ve had three of those so far. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I’ve never given multiple 1 star reviews in a row, only have rated 6 1 star out of 231 rated, and am planning to revisit a couple of those because they were very early on and my bar for 1 star has changed. I think my best streak of 5 stars was 9 in a row. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
This is exactly how I see it too. Even if something isn’t to my personal taste I can usually see why it merits a place on the list. Albums that I can acknowledge are good, but might not be something I’d go out of my way to play on my own, and don’t actively get on my nerves, usually get 3 stars. One star is reserved for albums I don’t think should be on the list, and those have been very few for me so far. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
That’s exactly it for me too. So for this reason, and because I guess I enjoy a wide variety of music and styles, most of my ratings are 4s and 3s. 2s and 5s are relatively rare, and I’ve given under 10 1s, and I’m 317 albums in | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I also enjoy a wide variety of music. I’ve even given 5 stars to a couple albums of my “least favorite” genre (country) due to the nature of the list (as you said, these were selected for a reason). I’ve actually given a TON of 5’s, and sometimes I get self-conscious about it, but man there’s a ton of great music here. Maybe my luck will turn and the algorithm has just been in my favor so far, time will tell! I’ve only rated 231 so I’ve got a long way to go. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I actually just reviewed my list and I’ve actually given more 5s than 3s. Go figure!
As for genre, ya, great music is great music regardless of genre. There are some albums in genres I normally like that I think are totally meh. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Totally agree! That’s why I started doing this, to fill in the gaps of my “musical blind spots” and to get more familiar with pivotal albums I’ve always meant to listen to but just never have. It’s always fun getting an album I already know and love on the list, but the best part is falling in love with an album I’d never listened to before and adding it to my library. Hope you have many more 5 stars in your future! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Ditto! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
My longest high streak is back to back 5s a couple times.
My worst streak went 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4 (Rio - Duran Duran), 1, 1, 1, 2, 1
I did not have a good time at all. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
Which albums were the 1's and what were the 5's? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
The 1s:
Remedy - Basement Jaxx
Home Is Where The Music Is - Hugh Masekela
A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
Marcus Garvey - Burning Spear
Trout Mask Replica - Cpt Beefheart
Doggystyle - Snoop Dogg
Slipknot - Slipknot.
I should clarify that I absolutely can't stand jazz.
Perhaps my best 5 star back to back day was Your Arsenal - Morrissey and 69 Love Songs - Magnetic Fields. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
It was a surprise to see Doggystyle average mid 3's instead of low 3's when I reviewed the album. I gave the album one star as well- 2 out of 10 based on how influential Snoop was to the music landscape in the early to mid 90s. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
I’m only into album #51. Average rating is 3.45.
Favorite genres: Hard Rock, Soul, Funk.
Worst Genres:Country, Electronica and New Wave.
I actually love New Wave so must be because I rated Public Image Ltd album a 1.
Worst artist:The Prodigy. Two albums reviewed and hated both of them 🤣 | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
The Lamb was the first 5 of my only run of three back-to-back 5s - but I already knew the albums anyway:
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Revolver - The White Album
I wasn't actually expecting to give The White Album 5, as I remembered the inconsistency of it and the whole Revolution no. 9 / O-Bla-Di bullshit, but listening to it back then just highlighted the brilliance, especially on disc 2. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
The White Album is one of those where you could easily create a five star single album, but I'd maybe give it a four because of the rest.
I didn't feel that way with the Lamb at all.
Revolver, controversially, will get five stars from me too! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
That's also a crazy sequence, and quite consistent colour schemes! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
The Lamb is one of my favourite albums of all time - there is just so much good stuff on it, and even the storyline, whilst a bit stupid, is one of the better Genesis concepts (as comparison, the concept of Duke, that basically a bloke falls in love with a woman on his TV and decides to fuck it, is just adolescent). | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
I'm over halfway.
I don't have many 1\*s and 5\*s.
Most hated so far is Throbbing Gristle - D.o.A.
Favorite so far is Stevie Wonder - Inner Visions
Last 1\* was 12 days ago.
Last 5\* was 42 days ago.
1\*s on average once every 34 days.
5\*s on average once every 41 days. Time for the next one!
Shortest between 1\*s is 3 days.
Shortest between 5\*s is 0 days (2 in a row, happened once)
Longest between 1\*s is 93 days.
Longest between 5\*s is 136 days. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-21-08 |
I had 3 back to back 5 star albums, Steely Dan's Can't Buy me a Thrill, Talking Heads - Talking Heads '77, and Beatles Abbey Road.
Two 1\* albums is my longest 1 star streak with Dr. Octagon - Dr Octagonecologist and Ravi Shankar The Sounds of India
My last 5 star album was 8 days ago with Pink Floyd's Wish You Were her and my last 1 star album was two days ago with Scott Walker - Scott 4.
I've given out 61 1 star albums and 111 5 Star albums in my 728 albums rated.
My rating system is based on how much I liked it:
5 - would listen to pretty much any time
4 - Good to great album that I'm happy to hear again in most cases
3 - Fine album. Didn't want to turn it off
2 - Probably can appreciate some of it, but not for me. Won't listen again.
1 - Actively annoyed me and I wanted to turn it off and/or skip songs while listening. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-22-08 |
Out of 108 albums I have 8 one-stars and 5 five-stars.
My longest streak is 37 days between five-star albums and 27 days between one-star albums. I've never had back to back fives or ones.
Currently, it's been 24 days since my last one-star (The Marshall Mathers LP) and 8 days since my last five-star (Pink Moon). | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-25-08 |
So I had this album today, and I saw a lot of the reviews were quite negative, which I found shocking as although I didn’t like it that much (probably about a 3), it was not anything that stood out as outright terrible. If you had this album, what did you think of it? I thought some songs sounded like Radiohead. | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I had it yesterday, gave it a 3. I agree some sounded a bit like Radiohead. Though can't remember anything else about the album, so pretty forgettable, maybe I should have given it a 2. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I loved this album and I find Radiohead like listening to gruel boil so I don't know what that says 😅 | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Good album - probably 4 out of 5. Wouldn’t think it was an essential listen before I die however. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Both albums of his in this project chew the scenery. Insist upon themselves. Ham it up. Etc etc. It's all so overblown and dramatic, and there's zero payoff. It's a prime example imo of why it's better to have a band than be a solo artist - some people need to be told to dial it back. Rufus needs an editor, lest he disappear up his own arse. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Bit too high brow for most people I expect. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
it’s not that high brow, it’s just dull.
Throbbing Gristle is the one that’s too high brow. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
He has the most annoying male voice of every album Ive heard so far in my 700+ albums. Both of these were 1* for me | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Has anyone ordered from Rough Trade yet?
I ordered from the affiliate link 3 weeks ago and their tracking leaves a lot to be desired so I have no idea where my order is. I plan on contacting them today, but I don't think I'll use them again. | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
That sucks!
I havent had any other issues reported to me at least, but if you cannot get it sorted let me know your Order Number and i'll see if i can get in contact with someone who can help. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Thanks Sid. I'm sure it'll be fine, it's just the uncertainty of it all. I did some digging and found some other people posting about issues they've had. But I understand there's a lot that goes into international shipping. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
I've had a blast expanding my musical horizons and sharing my experience of the generator since being introduced to it 161 albums ago.
I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to help contribute to the project if/when it becomes open sourced and available for public contributions.
Totally understandable if the project remains private (I, too, have hardcoded private keys before 😂) . I did a search of the subreddit and found a couple of promising leads:

* https://www.reddit.com/r/1001AlbumsGenerator/comments/mmkvkl/feature_request_supplement_genres_of_music_in/gtsqlod/
You're not alone /u/SidledsGunnar! | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-20-08 |
Until [u/SidledsGunnar](https://www.reddit.com/user/SidledsGunnar/) can open source it, and I KNOW how big of a deal that can be, you can checkout my dashboard that gives a ton of info too, if you'd like. Also not open source (tons of config hardcoded in here, too) but I can usually add features pretty quick if you have something specific you want to see!
[1001albumsdashboard.fun](http://1001albumsdashboard.fun)
Takes the project name or shareable ID and build some fun info and comparisons for you.
And he has a pretty good API, you can find via searching, if you wanted to do something cool with it, too! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-22-08 |
Thanks for the info and the dashboard link! If you want I can create some data visualizations for you based on the history file from the generator. Let me know! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-29-08 |
