the lowest rated album of all 1001… on day 38 | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
I got in early in my journey as well. Glad to get it out of the way | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
good album | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |

This album is great, 4 stars from me. "Hamburger Lady" alone is monumental achievement in musical horror. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |

I actually like several of the lowest rated albums. Off the top of my head I know I gave Napalm Death a 5 and Lightning Bolt a 4. That said I gave this a 1. I absolutely couldn't take it. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
I just did not like that one lol | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
i actually enjoyed this one more than i expected - still not above a two tho | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
This is much better than all 67 Elvis Costello albums on the list. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
I've come across a number of reviews (presumably by the same reviewer) where they've just copy/pasted the album review from Tidal into their notes. I just don't get it. No one's getting graded on these, and the number of thumbs up your reviews get aren't even visible to anyone else. It's supposed to be your own opinion... | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
Maybe they are lazy to write a review, but when they browse through their history they want to have a review there, so they just find one and copy-paste it | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |

There's a bit of a hidden "feature" where users can make their reviews private, meaning they won't show up on album pages.
I could probably add that to this one, seems obvious it's just AI written stuff. Which is fine really, but doesn't add anything of value to the public album pages imo. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I often find myself wishing I had a bit more context than you get from the wiki summary (which is usually just a general overview of when the album was released during an artist’s career, it’s critical reception, and commercial success), but I don’t always have the energy to go digging myself. I typically like to go in... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
As the title says, I listened to the 1001 albums on my own before knowing about the generator. From september 2022 to december 2023, i was listening to 3 to 7 albums a day. I have the book edition that starts with Sinatra and finishes with MGMT (Oracular Spectacular).
Now, I'm doing the generator, one album a day. I'm... | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
Did you listen to the albums in book chronologically? And if so do you think it makes a difference in your listening/thoughts doing it in a random order vs chronologically? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
I listened randomly. I tried to mix the artists that i knew nothing about with those I knew.
I definitely think it makes a difference, mainly because of genre (e.g. new wave and post-punk in the eighties or british dance in the 90's) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
What was your favourite album, and your favourite new find? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
My favorite album was Rumours by Fleetwood Mac before starting the project. It still is my favorite album.
Among many good discoveries, both albums by the Pogues, "the Colour of Spring" by Talk Talk, "Spiderland" by Slint and "Something/Anything" by Todd Rundgren | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
I can’t help but feel there’d be quite a lot lost cramming so many albums into one day. How would you say your experiences have varied to this point? | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
When I started the project nearly 500 albums ago I was kind of looking forward to restarting and listening to them all over again, but now I just want it to end! It's like the best/worst thing I've ever undertaken, like studying for a degree or something. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
Somedays were tougher than others, but I'm pretty much always listening to music, at home or at work.
I tried varying the musical genre in a day, and the albums lenght (days with 7 albums were 30 minutes album usually) | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
Listening to many albums a day is a different experience than doing the generator.
With one album a day, it kind of gives me a hype to see what is gonna be the next album | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-27-08 |
I was recently traveling and didn't really have time to listen to albums each day. I kept generating them anyway and just built up a backlog. On my plane ride home, I went through as many as I could. It's definitely a different listening experience and I purposely chose albums that I felt I could digest a bit easier. I... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Pick 10 albums on the list you deem to be inessential listening. Which ones would you swap them with and why?

I feel early 80s slightly electronic English new wave is over represented as a genre. I'm thinking bands like echo and the bunny men etc. They appear on my list, I listen to them, they are vaguely ok and then I forget about them again.
I'd love to see a bit more Australian music, including You Am I, but also the highl... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
YES! MORE AUSTRALIAN AND NZ MUSIC!!!
Definitely swapping The Vines self titled for Hourly, Daily :) I'll check my list after work. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I like the Vines, and I guess it is more internationally known, but it's nowhere as good as Hourly Daily. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I wouldn't swap many artists, but there are some instances where I'd swap which albums are included by specific artists. Massive Attack and Daft Punk are good shouts, but omitting 'Mezzanine' and 'Discovery' is criminal.
Apart from that my big change would be that I would limit all artists (with a handful of exceptio... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Veni, Vidi, Vicious is by far the superior album, just had to say | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I would swap the John Zorn (Spy vs Soy) for some other, better John Zorn. Maybe it was just over my head, but I gave Spy vs Spy a 1. But John Zorn has some other great stuff! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |

Here's my current swaps list (based on the 300+ reviewed):
Leonard Cohen - Songs From A Room for Various Positions

I’ve always struggled with these 70’s/80’s prog bands. As big of a music fan as I am, I’ve just never “gotten it”. That said, Rush is one of those bands that are beloved by a lot of people I respect - musician’s musicians, they say. So I resigned myself to give this album a really honest effort.
And I tried, guys. I r... | r/1001albumsgenerator | post | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
nah, they're clearly talented musicians with extremely cheesy taste. it's not "over your head", it's just not that good.
i'll add that the only reason people think Neil Peart is the "best drummer ever" is because they haven't listened to Milford Graves, or enough jazz in general for that matter. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
If you gave this a 2. You’re in for a surprise with the rest lol. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Its cool, you like what you like. I'm sure everyone here has an album opinion that people would disagree with.
For me personally the five year period 1977-1982 is the most interesting period in music. I think most of my favorite albums come from that period | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Yep, my ex is a massive Rush fan. And he is a musician. I cannot stand them. Music for people who stand at the back of a concert analysing the musicianship
Someone on here called me a ‘retard’ when I expressed a dislike of Yes. Bring it on lol | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I will NEVER defend Rush!! The bane of my high school existence during the days of loud boomboxes in the hallways | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Oof we’ll see. I tend to be pretty forgiving when it comes to music, especially artists that have a lot of devoted fans. I can usually tap into whatever the fans dig about them.
And it’s one thing when an album is experimental. That’s at least interesting even though it might be a challenge to listen to. But with Rush... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I really think the biggest part of it for me is Lee’s voice. I can’t take anything about the music seriously because I’m so distracted by it. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Shit take. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I’ve had plenty of people who like bands I despise (Dave Matthews, Phish) try to explain to me why they’re good, so apologies for being that guy.
Admittedly, his voice is definitely not for everyone, and there’s definitely an oddness to their music that is understandably hard to take for plenty of people.
But, as som... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
At some point, you'll know that certain genres and artists are just not for you. And that's okay. I'll admit to falling asleep to 2112 on my first listen. And I'm sure I gave it a good rating out of obligation. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Weirdly, watching interviews with the band members turned me onto rush. They’re down-to-earth, goofy dudes. And you have to let Geddy’s voice grow on you.
That said, yes, they are excessive and corny. That’s part of the fun!
Also, this is probably their most accessible album, so you’re going to have a hard time if a... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Agreed. Nails on a blackboard | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Big difference between “not for you” and “not that good”.
And while there are plenty of jazz drummers who are amazing, jazz tends to be alienating to people. Obviously Rush is alienating to people too, but they were an arena-level band within the last decade and a staple of classic rock radio at this point. I think w... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |

I agree with you, both on your general point and on this one. I really tried with this album and Rush are, on paper, a band I should really like. But they just don't do it for me and Lee's voice is a major part of this. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
i actually had typed that out but opted to validate OP's feeling instead and add a little snark just for fun :)

I won’t tell you that you’re wrong, just why I enjoy that album.
It’s amazing musicianship sure, but I also just really find the music and lyrics very affecting. Red Barchetta is so energetic and joyous and nostalgic. Limelight is a tight rock track with a killer hook and thoughtful lyrics about fame that don’t de... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Eh, I've retained a fondness for Rush, but I only gave this one a 3. "Red Barchetta" is the only song I really love off of this one.
Geddy Lee's voice is polarizing, the subject matter is eye rolling, and some of it just goes on too long.
Also, "Tom Sawyer" seems like it's more about Huck Finn. Huck is the one whose ... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I gave this one a 5, and I'm a long time Rush fan. I like them for the chemistry the band has together and their individual musicianship while working it into the songs instead of it coming across as wankery (like, for example Yes, even though I also like them). Despite being a prog band they're in a lot of ways just a... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I kind of prefer "2112" because it really leans into their nerdiness. Lead off with a 20 minute opera (on a 40 minute album no less!) on free will, art, censorship and religion? Fuck, yeah! | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I like-but-don't-love Rush. Also, I tend to focus on lyrics rather than instrumentation. I strongly suspect people are missing the huge amount of post-WW2 generational trauma the guys were processing via their music.
Ok, first, proclamations: Moving Pictures isn't their best album. "Tom Sawyer" is fun, and "Red Barche... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
It really wasn’t *that* bad. I just found it to be in that uncanny valley where it’s not experimental enough to be unique/interesting but also not accessible enough to be enjoyable. That’s often my issue with a lot of prog rock. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
Appreciate that as I genuinely was hoping to get some honest responses as to why I should reframe it and try again. I’ll give it another try with some of this in mind. | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |
I don’t know; sounds like you honestly tried (using your term), multiple times… and don’t feel it. Happens. You’re WAY ahead of a lot of folks that don’t seem like they approach the challenge with an open mind. 🤷🏽 | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-28-08 |

I gave this album a 2 as well.
This wasn't my first try. I've listened to this album on and off for 20 years now and it never worked for me. I actually think the musicianship is pretty good.

This has a 3.6 overall rating, higher than the sitewide 3.41 average, which means people view this as a good album overall. Not excellent, but not at all bad. Possibly very good.
Some people have spelled this out elsewhere, but the #1 reason for such a high rating certainly has to be musical talent. Neal Peart and Ge... | r/1001albumsgenerator | comment | r/1001AlbumsGenerator | 2024-29-08 |
