Reviews (page 4 of 7)
Quite the collection. The theatrical stuff is out there and digestible is small chunks. On the other hand the more conventional is enjoyable if tied to its time. Did see them in their hey day and it was a riot.
Less than stellar, let alone sensational. Guy needs to calm down about his dick.
This album was crazy.
Some great tunes here, and others a bit ruined by the vocalist at times. Not nearly as bad as some reviewers would have you think. 3/5
мелодии вроде ничего, артист странный тип
This is the only person in the world who kinda sounds like Geordie Greep, besides that there isn't really that much that is interesting about this album. I feel like if I was around in the 70's I would have really dug this, but music has come such a long way since then that I don't really find it that novel. Not really sure why this made the list, the two sentences in the summary are just quotes from other musicians saying this guy is cool. Mid 3.
Absolutely bonkers, this one! Not sure if I love it or hate it...think I love it!!!
Nice album, some parts were awesome with powerful guitars and wind instruments. But some songs were somewhat boring. I would rate it a 3,4/5. Because I would be interested in listening to more of their music, but not enough to be a 4.
Gangbang
Hmmm. Not really for me this. "The Faith Healer" wasn't bad, but the rest was just muffled crap. The songs were better musically than vocally and even lyrically. Shame really.
appreciated a nice short album for a Saturday. otherwise, again, not my favourite. sort of vague, innoffensive 70s music
by no means am i a prude but when i heard gang bang i jumped back like the cynthia erivo gif
mmmmmmmmmm
In Ordnung, aber nicht viel hängen geblieben.
Didn’t get into it.
The only sensation this inspired in me was disgust. What a waste of time.
Solid glam
Betra en ég átti von á, en ég gat samt bara hlustað á hana einu sinni.
this is an album that made me laugh and that's NEVER a good thing if i want to think this album deserves to be on the list. It's not all bad but it's just super quirky.
There's nothing about this album that is worth praising; it's dull with weird lyrics that are not great. It's not the most horrible album, but this glam album really does nothing to deserve a place on the list.
After reading the comments I thought I was going to hate this. This was actually alright. Maybe it caught me on a good day, but I liked the dramatic nature of it. Rock operaish. Do your thing, Harvey.
Started out ok, but the last three songs were dismal. If you like blues rock with one musical theatre interlude, this is the album for you.
So so bad. “Ain’t nothing but the gang bang”. Wow. So smart and inspirational. If I’ll write a song some day, will definitely use it.
I'm more than 2 years in and this is the type of album that makes me question if i want to listen to the whole list.
3.5/4
7 - GOOD
Shit but vaguely entertaining in some kind of way. Hope Spotify doesn't start recommending these songs to me.
A variety pack of an album. The songs all came on very strong, but I didn't really want them most of the time. Still, I respect the style and originality enough to give it a three.
In a way this is sensational, but in another way, it isn’t.
Jaysus what the fuck?
There's a song on this called "Gang Bang." Alex Harvey did rapes, right? This man seems like he probably did some rapes.
it was ok i guess. way too smutty
This rocks hard. It can be a little too much sometimes (looking at you, Gang Bang), but the blues and swing elements create a really fun, unique style. I can definitely see the influence this had on artists like AC/DC and Nick Cave.
The last song does some neat tricks with headphones, so listen to that one with headphones. It has good instrumentals. However, literally any person good have written better lyrics. There is no reason anyone should listen to this, let alone should be on this list.
This album felt very all over the shop. There are elements of elements of hard rock, glam rock, prog rock and a little bit of blues, this album has a really unique sound. When it is good it is really good but when it's bad it's awful
Sort of all over the place.
If you have to say you are sensational, you probably aren’t. And this band is definitively not. They sound like a joke. Absolutely horrid.
das in da 70er im usgang fändi no nice
Insultingly dumb and stupid
Somewhere in between an odd Aerosmith and The Rocky Horror Picture Show...
Heard it before. It’s good.
Sort of campy, sort of punk. A lot of attitude.
122/1001 The Sensational Alex Harvey Band - Next Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ❎ They're not living up to their band name with this offering. I was almost saying "Next!" after the first two songs and fortunately it did improve. Musically it's decent, but the lyrics are so goddam cringe worthy and the vocals are OK at best.
Tenacious D but not funny. This shit fucking sucks. One of the prime examples of why I didn’t listen to classic rock for years.
I'm on a 10 album run of nothing below a 3, multiple 5s... (I try not to hand out too many 5s or 1s) and was just starting to wonder if I'm being too generous lately when this album came along to assuage my concerns. Musically, Next is nothing special. It's fine, perfectly listenable... which would normally earn it a 3 from me - 3 star albums for me are good but nothing more. Nothing I dislike, but not deserving of any higher. Lyrically, this album is a travesty. How one man wrote an entire album of mediocre songs about his penis and what he does with it (with the exception of one track where he instead wrote about what he and his 27 friends do with their penises) that is considered by *anyone* to qualify as "must hear before you die" is beyond me. Nobody needs to hear this. I probably would've died happier having not heard it. Like I said, I try not to give out too many 5s or 1s, and I tried as hard as I could to not judge this too harshly on the lyrics alone, but at the end of the day, the music doesn't do enough to redeem it.
This was pretty good, had never heard of Alex Harvey before. Not a bad glam rock offering but a bit inconsistent, gang bang and giddy up a ding dong were not great while The Faith Healer and Next were standouts to me.
enjoyed this despite myself
Was sick, vibes were nice
The lyrics on this album...wtf? I hope it's tongue in cheek laudable, else very concerning. Catchy tunes, VERY well composed melodies. Reminds me musical
It never fails to be interesting thats for sure. Maybe not my favorite thing in the world but it kept me on my toes. Throw a dart at the board and they hit whatever genere you got. Well the biggest thing for me is the damn gangbang. Surely that ment something different 50 years ago. Nope. Its the same thing as one the hub. Wild. And people look at wap or whatever as an affront to God. This in concept is much more sacrilegious that a horney lady. Insane. That song gave me a good chuckle. I saved a track or 2 and that was OK. Nothing I love love but decent enough.
classic heavy rock (kiss / motley crue / ...)
Had a few moments of fun proto-punk almost but I would get drowned out by a wave of some of the worst music you've ever fucking heard. 3/10, lucky to miss the 1 star range.
Urgh - this has aged really badly... Not at all a fan and had to cut the album short.
“There ain’t nothing like a gang bang to blow away the blues.” I guess somebody had to write a rock song about group fucking. Might as well be Mr. Harvey. It’s a fun enough rock album, but it didn’t move me. I assume its inclusion is due to its influence on rock juggernauts AC/DC and as a representation of the Scottish 1970s rock scene. One of the times I wish I could read the book blurb for some context. “The Faith Healer” is kind of cool.
1,4/5
Painful, stuck it out but begging for the end from the second track "Gang Bang" (as awful as it sounds). HTF is this included. It's not even generally regarded as one of their best albums, not that I'm going to be sampling the others on this showing. The worst album on 1001 that I've listened to so far (Ye didn't get heard due to a built in self professed Nazi filter).
Bluesy, theatrical, rock. What’s not to like
This was fun!! Looks like they were the inspiration to some great names. I always find it funny what doesn’t cross the pond.
This is pretty good. A bit edge lord sounding but given it came out in 1973, gotta take it with a grain of salt.
I turned this off as soon as the vocals started
Honestly regularly kinda creepy
How have I never heard of Alex Harvey? I’m embarrassed. Kind of a cross between Bon Scott era AC/DC and Iggy Popp, but sillier. This album is really fun.
Sleazy and silly. Not the worst, but not for me.
2 de 5
Second half of album better than the first, which was trying to hard to be controversial without being musically interesting
Something fun songs, J. Giels-ish.
I mightily did not feel comfortable listening to "Gang Bang." I can't begin to explain how gross I felt. Despite that, I enjoy glam rock and I enjoyed what they did here (minus the lyrics of one song; see aforementioned paragraph). They played around with genres--"Giddy Up A Ding Dong" had a country feel, and "The Last of the Teenage Idols" had that pleasant fifties pop sound at the end. Next was pretty decent; it could've gotten a 3 if I wasn't so icked. A 1 feels right to me.
I WANTED to believe that the "gang bang" alluded to in the song by the same name was a consensual gang bang. But this is was the 70s, so that's probably wishful thinking. Honestly, it is really too bad, because this album is otherwise kind of catchy and almost has a Rocky Horror Picture Show quality to it.
Quite stupid, but I enjoyed it, especially the first two songs which were rollicking fun. The original Jacques Brel and the Scott Walker versions of "Next" are better though. On my second listen, I realised he reminds me of Geordie Greep on that song.
I heard of Alex Harvey but not familiar with his music at all. I was pleasantly surprised with the good Rock n Roll songs on it. He has some risqué baldy numbers typical of blues rockers. This would be a great album to play at parties.
The only sensations associated here are mild nausea and the feeling of wasted time. Possibly the longest 35 minutes of my life, it’s like T Rex without the charm or quality, Gary Glitter without the stomp or sense of self parody. And, hopefully, less child abuse. 2/5, and a low 2 at that.
Was not sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.
Gran sorpresa
Kõlab lahedalt
I've never heard of them and it's surprising because based on just the Wikipedia article alone some people I listen to say they were influential. Well... I don't see what's so "sensational" about the band. The guy's vocals actively pissed me off 1/5
The kinda sleazy blues rock/hard rock sound was good, loved that. Hated the lyrics though
Wow. This is really cool. I can easily understand why it was so highly influential on early British punk rock.
Kinda interesting genre bending. Glad to be introduced to it.
Fuckin' gross. "Gang Bang" is particularly disgusting. This album should be forgotten forever. There's no need to keep this around for any reason. It's so gross. Rompy, bawdy 70s rock. Lots of butt-ass swagger here. Some of the tracks start out decent if not totally by-the-numbers stock 70s rock, but the singer comes in and farts all over the place with his repulsive, overbearing, overconfident schtick. He almost sounds like a wannabe and very unconvincing Bon Scott. There moments where things gets almost showtune-y and it's fucking awful. This guy swears he's got this big charisma but it's just overbearing sexual harassment. This guy is seriously a creep. A lot of rape-y lyrics. Like, a lot. Terrible. Fuckin' awful. (I listened to this album before reading about the album/band as I want an uncolored listen the first time around, and turns out this Scottish band influenced AC/DC [which does make sense, though I would take Bon Scott any day])
Never heard of this band before. It’s not good, but it’s not awful. I don’t think I’d listen to it again.
Naughty. Interesting lyrics lol. Didn't hate this.
Not bad. Rock and roll.
I liked the glam stuff on here quite a bit. The proggier stuff was less successful.
Positivt overraska. Litt funky rock, dette. Helt kurant. 3,5/5
Next by The Entirely Adequate Alex Harvey Band was somewhat ok
I was excited when I read the Wikipedia article… a bunch of great artists listing him as an influence! Maybe I was about to discover something great! Nope.
I don’t really want to listen to any of the lyrics
Don’t think there was anything too sensational about the Alex Harvey Band. It was okay, the instruments were well played and I enjoyed that aspect but the vocals were a bit hit and miss. Idk, it’s pretty average tbh.
Yeah, not enjoying this one. Between his vocals and the lyrics just being juvenile, it's gonna be a no from me. Musically, it's fine, ranging from bluesy jigs and glam/hard rock cuts, but everything else is just not for me.
This album seems pretty divisive. I enjoyed it, however. It wasn't the best thing I'd ever listened to, but it was far from the worse. The songs are a bit all over the place, but it sort-of fits the theatrics of it all. Musicianship is fine, originality is there, the singing is odd at times. All in all, very middle of the road.
Interesting blend of glam rock & blues with hint of rockabilly. The mixing wasn't great, but the rhythm was. However, all the tracks bled together into a jumble of song, and the lyrics were rough
If somebody wrote an album by querying ChatGPT with "make a glam/punk rock album but make it incredibly, unnecessarily about my personal sex stories that my friends are tired of hearing about." Take this off the list.
AC/DC before they got tough
Yeah this was pretty crude.
That gangbang song is certainly something, but in spite of that I still quite enjoyed this, it's a bit silly and OTT but it's clear fun and the length helps alot (pun intended)
Kinda all over the place. T.Rex if Marc Bolan were a horny 13-year old. Some fun shuffle and rock -- and it certainly doesn't take itself too seriously. The title track, about losing one's virginity with a prostitute while in the Army, is an odd listen as is, of course, "Gang Bang." But there are some bangers on here. Worth a listen.
This is (too) many things, but sensational isn't one of them. Sounds like a random collection of songs going nowhere, usually rock and roll-esque but not the good kind (imagine Gang Bang with Jagger's voice and it could have been a mediocre Stones song). Struggled to finish it.
This wasn’t as bad as I feared based on the reviews, and I enjoyed it. It’s not “punk” as the critics said it would be, but it was a vibe I enjoyed.
meh
Ok
I'm surprised at this selection, pleasantly so, not because The Sensational Alex Harvey Band aren't worthy of inclusion in this list, they are, but because their 'Live' album is typically the recommended album. They really were a fantastic live band. Nonetheless, "Next.." was a very enjoyable listen, my first time hearing the album. The first side of the album is very good. It opens with the excellent "Swampsnake", followed by "Gang Bang" and "Faith Healer". That latter being somewhat progressive. A very good first side of rock music. The second side contains two covers: A fun but throw away cover of "Giddy Up A Ding Dong" (Originally by Freddie Bell and The Bell Boys) and a theatrical cover of "Next" ( a Jacques Brel song), that's quite wonderful. I'm familiar with the song "Next", and Jacques Brel, through Scott Walker's excellent albums. This cover is every bit as good as any Jacques Brel cover that Scott Walker released. "Vambo Marble Eye" is an excellent rock track with a wonderful guitar solo by the underrated Zal Cleminson and the album closes with the excellent "The Last of the Teenage Idols". A fun album, very much of its time, that with another track or two of original material, dropping the Freddie Bell cover, could have made five stars. As it is, an enjoyable four star listen. I bought this album after listening! Side one 1 "Swampsnake" (5/5) 2 "Gang Bang" (4/4) 3 "The Faith Healer" (4/4) Side two 1 "Giddy Up a Ding Dong" (4/4) 2 "Next" (5/5) 3 "Vambo Marble Eye" (5/5) 4 "The Last of the Teenage Idols" (5/5) Total - 31.00 Average - 4.43 111/1001 58/111 albums reviewed were new to me.
nah
Too Camp
2025-10-05: I really enjoyed listening to this album. Was I in a good listening mood, or is there more to it? Whatever the case, it is a top score for enjoyment to me today.
Never heard of this band before and this was a fun, surprising listen! I will listen again.
It was, in fact, not sensational.
Fun vibes.
Honestly Blew me away. Never heard of these guys before
Fijn, nog een soort Punk album, althans het album dat uiteindelijk tot punk zou leiden. Is my lucky day! Maar eerlijk? Totaal onverwachts vind ik Swampsnake echt een heerlijk nummer. Lekker foute vocals, scheurende gitaren en een nummer dat 4 minuten duurt zonder zware distortie! Punk, waar is het fout gegaan? Ok, maar dit is dus absoluut geen punk album haha Het is een soort dramarock album, als dat telt? Ik vibe het eigenlijk wel, Robert Smith van The Cure noemt dit een grote inspiratie en dat hoor je eigenlijk meteen, het is een beetje als een band ook besluit om een soort halve musical van hun album te maken. Lekker theatraal, bijna Meatloaf-esque zeg maar. Toch net ff te fout ofzo om het 4 sterren te maken. Daar zit toch net ff te veel rare shit voor tussen, maar eerlijk? Dit is het meest plezier dat ik tot nu toe met een punk of protopunk album heb gehad! Wel fijn om de reviews niet van tevoren te lezen, blijkbaar zijn de teksten verschrikkelijk. Opzich had ik dat al wel door met titels als GangBang enzo, maar ik heb me er niet verschrikkelijk aan geirriteerd. Muzikaal vond ik het zelfs best wel nice, ik geef het lekker 3 sterren. FAVO: Swampsnake, Giddy up a ding dong
I gotta give the guy some credit for going so HARD with all these songs. Musically it really could have been a sensation if he had given us a little more variety. It’s a shame he didn’t use some of that talent to deliver a great rock ballad. Not sure we really needed 3 parts of The Last Of The Teenage Idols, one was plenty. The lyrics were questionable at best, the guy could use some therapy!
That was interesting. The music was good, the lyrics were different. They were definitely high AF when they wrote this but it was entertaining. Would give 3.5 if I could.
Funky vibe but just overall……very odd. A few of the songs had instruments that sounded similar to a boat horn. Faith Healer - Sounded like they saw a sound machine near a dumpster and decided to give it a roll in the studio. Giddy Up a Ding Dong sounded almost like Jailhouse Rock by Elvis. Seriously what in the hell is this? Next - This is giving broadway musical song where the rat looking man has his solo revenge song. Anyone know what a Vambo is?
-Bro what the hell was that -mixing sounded like shit for the most part? Sounded like all mics were covered with a wet sock - GANG BANG ARE YOU KIDDING - “there were 27 guys, what an unexpected surprise” “she was SMILING THROUGH THE TEARS” I’m calling the police - next was crazy - love the Scottish accents - last of the teenage idols is actually pretty great but not worth what i just went through -my Spotify wrapped is gonna be absolutely doinked this year
WOW! from the moment this began, i knew i was in for a treat! what a powerhouse of an album! front to back, no skips, so chaotic and loud and fun but also extremely talented people! well written, the lyrics were so provocative but exciting, and almost a queen-like flair for giving single songs multiple sections to explore! and the DRAMA of it all! it was like a rocky horror picture show type musical and the lead singer had so many CHARACTERS to help him deliver the message that really elevated the experience for me. i was hearing little richard meets big band meets bob seger meets queen meets gospel meets rocky horror meets the darkness, and interestingly enough this came BEFORE a lot of the things i was hearing, meaning THIS was probably inspiration for ALL THE OTHER ONES! never knew i needed an "old time rock n roll" for orgies but here we are! the intro to "the faith healer" was incredible i loved how it grew and changed and the let it breathe before he started singing - they really made sure the music was as interesting as the singer, which seems hard to do with a guy like that in front!
I didn't hate it. But this is an entire album with the energy of Big Balls by ACDC. I'm sure my 14 year old self is giving me a thumbs up deep within my years of personal self reflection. I will admit, I did think a few songs were a bit catchy. Plus isn't it nice that gangbangs have an anthem they can call their own. But after the 5th song about his dick I began to ask myself what I'm doing with my life. Am I wasting away listening to things I don't like? Could I be more focused on getting what I want out of this life? Do I know what love truly feels like? Do my friends and family know how much they mean to me? What if I died today and this album was the last thing I listen to? Would people think I loved this band after finding it on my spotify? Would my family and friends listen to the gangbang song at my funeral and say something silly like I lit up a room? I think it's time I began staring into the mirror, trying to figure out who that guy is, and if he is happy. Probably won't give it another listen, but you never know
This was an unexpectedly fun album to listen to. The mesh of hard/glam rock with musical theatre style songs makes it border on silly at times, but I quite enjoyed the flamboyance. Surprised me a little because the average score on this site is weak and there isn't much critical acclaim either, I thought it was better than that and would definitely listen again!
No me dijo nada 🥲
Quite theatrical glam rock. I liked it more than that description would have suggested.
6/10… glam rock
I'm not sure about Sensational, but it's certainly something. A couple of the tracks were good (Swampsnake and Vambo Marble Eye caught the ear), some were a little beguiling (Last of the Teenage Idols) and others were plain bizarre and rather horny (Gang Bang, Giddy Up a Ding Dong, Next). All in all, confusing, but I don't think The Confusing Alex Harvey Band would have quite the ring to it.
Album felt incredibly incohesive. Swampsnake was good and Next was completely intolerable 2/5 7.64/10
Nigdy nie słyszałem o tym zespole, ale cieszę się, że jednak się dowiedziałem. Solidne 4/5. Dobry brudny rock/punk. Prawdopodobnie jeden z pionierów.
Просто прикольно Моментами спорно
This is an album that I had never heard of by an artist that I did not know. It is just weird enough that I can't give it a 1, if I knew for certain that he was not being serious I could get this up to a 3. Also there is a song about a gang bang, which was something I did not expect even after reading the name of the song.
Which sensation? Disgust? Indifference? Bloat? Is 'meh' a sensation?
chaotic well made but slightly cheesy
In which awesome instrumentals do their best to fight back against rather childish lyrics
Did not like this. Had guitars, horns, keys - all of the things I like, but it just did not work.
This is an insanely silly album. Glam turned up to 11. Extra points for the title track—a gloriously camp, over-the-top cover of Jacques Brel’s seminal song.
Very odd, humorous but not super engaging. Maybe it would grow onme if I gave it a chance!
A 70s glam band with a song called “Gang Bang”? Now we’re talking!
The music was cool (harmonica, drums, guitar) and it all really worked together. But the lyrics just sounded like a 18 year old boy that had sex for the first time and that was all he thought about. For the music i really enjoying it and hoping the lyrics would catch up, but honestly they were just stupid and something any 18-22 year old could write.
Have you ever noticed that if a band's name is "The Senational" or "The Fabulous" or the "The Superterrific" they are usually not? His vocals remind me of Bon Scott (AC/DC's first singer). Some of the songs have pretty great rocking energy: Swampsnake, Gang Bang (there should be more blues boogie rock song about group sex), & Giddy Up a Ding Dong (great piano playing). They are fun but they are kind of hokey. Some of the songs are just kind of weird: Next and Faith Healer (that one has it's moments but I feel like it doesn't really go anywhere and when they bust out the slide whistle?... no.) The Last of the Teenage Idols: I don't believe for a second that he ever was or will be a teenage idol. And the songwriting on that one is just a disaster. Starts as a boring ballad then rocks out then goes into do wop.
So Bon Scott and Nick Cave were both influenced by these guys, neat! Bonus they are from Glasgow! This was funny and weird, but I really liked it.
All of the songs kind of blended together and wasn’t melodic or anything drastic in the songs that kept me interested for more than a few songs at a time.
Nyt oli kyllä monitasoinen albumi. Hauska soundi mutta sanotukset ihan hölmöjä(ne joihin kiinnitin huomiota). Jotku biisit kuulostaa just hyviltä glam rock biiseiltä toiset taas barbie preminger pahislauluilta. Välillä nautin välillä halusin vain skipata biisin. Mutta kaipa se oli kuitenkin hyvä vaikka aika kummallinen. En kyllä hirveen usein haluais kuunnella tällasta.
No thank you
idk what’s worse… the song Gangbang or the song Giddy Up A Ding Dong… but besides the machismo song names and lyrics, this album showcases some great musicianship. i’ll give it 2.5/5
There’s about 3 great songs on here and the rest is chauvinistic 70s rock sleaze. I initially dug the sounds, but upon further listen, am not as impressed. Lyrically, it’s all over the place. Musically, mostly it’s right up my alley, but then there’s this thing about it that takes me out. When it opened I thought it was going to be an early 70s version of Low Cut Connie. And I am pretty disappointed in the direction it went!
Uh… 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This record was not expected, but a fun ride. You can tell their influence on bands like AC/DC, Ween, Spinal Tap lol. Cool to hear so many boundaries being pushed all the way back in ‘73 Scotland. Some of the lyrics have aged badly, but if you understand the era, context, and reality that they were trying for shock, humor, and originality, it goes a long way to enjoying this experience.
The 70s was a "sensational" time. There were songs published with lyrics like... "Ain't nothing like a gangbang To blow the blues away." Good times.
Bad. Like joe cocker on an angry binge.
Not for me
Bad. Just bad
Mid 70s rock and roll with overly sexual and creepy themes that gross me out. The only semi-cool song on here was “next” which had a show tune vibe. Next indeed.
Sadly forgettable.
Musically, a 3.5. Lyrically, 1.69 (he would have liked my choice of decimal, if not what preceded it).
I like how much energy this guy has, it seems like he's having a lot of fun. The style is a bit theatrical and camp for my taste (sort of a punkish Meatloaf vibe), but it's kind of a fun listen
Sensational? I’ll be the judge of that. That’s why I’m here isn’t it? I like to imagine that the sole purpose of this endeavour was to get the lazy musings of a poorly educated Canadian with little to no musical knowledge. That was the lofty pipe dream of our dear author when he first set out on what was and remains a monumental triumph of a starter guide. A labour of love dashed upon the jagged rocks of a small text box. With universally appreciated art spilling into the murky brine of “this was kinda mid,” we sift through the wreckage and pull another of the 1001 remnants of the capsized craft. What horrors will die in my arms this fateful morn? Swampsnake - A song title that can only be described as “rad as hell” begins our first foray into what sounds to be uhh Religious? The singer is a little unhinged. That is surprising. I don’t care about it, but it’s surprising. Gang Bang - if this is that gangster music that the kids are listening to, I am fully on board with banishing it to the nether realm. This is the late night act on a cruise ship for adults. If that doesn’t make your skin crawl, we have nothing to discuss. Horrific. Longest 15 minutes of my life. It was 4 minutes? Wonderful. The Faith Healer - Who gave this moron a studio? This song is an extended intro for the band that is the central crux in a wet dream in the head of a delusional man in the midst of a mid-life crisis. I need a medical healer. Let’s leave deities out of this. I feel ill. Maybe I need to restore a Chevy Bel-Air and make a female administrative worker uncomfortable. The American dream. Giddy Up a Ding dong - Fuck you for making me write that. This is not “fun.” This just sucks. Like being at a wedding where everybody is drunk except you. Just a bunch of sunburnt lushes writhing around in the sun to this garbage while you dream of a prolonged hermitage deep under the earth. Dead or alive. Next - Hey! That’s what I’ve been saying. NEXT. I hate that is the best song by far. It at least has a sense of irony and humour. Although based on the previous tracks, maybe this is sincerity I’m mistaking for taste. Incredibly, this reminds me of black midi. I’m holding my nose for this next part. I like this song. Ugh. Vambo Marble Eye - We’re back in stink town. Alex and the boys have a permanent residency atop the stinkiest landfill in stink town. Get ready to hear “Gang Bang” on repeat. If you’re lucky, they’ll do the whispered gang vocals of Vambo Marble Eye to the visual of fat boomers snapping their unwirked fingers to the beat. The Last of the Teenage Idols - See when I ask people to call me “The Sheik of Tomorrow” they get really upset. I for one, will not call this idiot anything of the sort, but I will call him a terrible musician. Well. Terrible is relative and in the eye of the beholder, but as the current beholder, I will use that authority to say I hate this. This was a violent plummeting through labyrinthine terrors hitherto unseen. Maybe sight is not the sense I most associate this record with. Let’s go with smell. Boy howdy did this album stink. What was this? A horrible band playing sleazy songs for the sleaziest demographic. This is music for the kind of people that think “no” means “keep trying” and I ain’t talking about trying to land employment. Sure, I’ve had a laugh at my own expense here in saying that I am a musical moron, but I certainly know what I like and don’t like. This is entrenched solidly in the “don’t like” camp. Abandon ship, and while you’re at it, abandon all hope for 70s boogaloo sweat rock. If you had any of that hope to begin with, you sadden me. Call your children. They hate your new wife. 0.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Next. No really! It was good.
Is this the horniest album on the list?
Ok, I stopped listening to Ok Computer by Radiohead for this. Those are some hefty stairs to climb for greatness. Right away I’m thinking Bon Scott if he went solo. If every song on this album was a punch in the mouth, let’s see what the outcome would be. 1-first punch knockdown 2. A dizzying punch 3. Several jabs to an already broken nose 4. Oh ya I’m into this And it goes on. Thoroughly impressed
So that one song is crazy.
I surprising enjoyed this. I dreaded listening to it because the cover art look lame. It’s easy to see where Bon Scott was influenced by them. Don’t sleep on this one, it’s actually pretty good. 1001 album worthy: yes 107/200
Kind of fun
This guy actually wrote a blues rock song about a gang bang?!? Who the hell is this guy? The album was kind of all over the place with the subjects of each song, but the songs were fully committed and well written. I don't think I would play the album for guests.
This is a super fun album. I love that it's basically a hard-edged seventies version of 50s rock 'n' roll. Cool idea and well-executed. 4.5/5.0: Excellent
started off really great and slowly went downhill from there. i found myself waiting for it to end. then the last song decided to pan left making me think i had an issue with my headphones which aggravated me to no end
Ok
Was wondering why I never heard of this band. Now I regret knowing this band.
Punk?
I’m going to describe this album in a manner I think Alex Harvey would appreciate. It can suck my swampsnake dong. I endured the audiotory pounding for a full 15 mins then realised I could action my sense of free will and stop it. The insanity of the lyrics drove me to it but the final nail was the intro to faith healer. After enduring for nearly 2mins of the repetitive drilling of a guitar with one note. I skipped forward but was ultimately subjected to what sounded like a Ringo Starr collab on Giddy up a ding dong. Now there were some better songs on the album. But sadly by track 4 I was lost. 1.5/5
⭐️⭐️ The laughs we had along the way, the friends we made, and the gang bangs we shared…
This wasn't AS bad as the reviews suggest, but it's certainly not good. If it weren't for the vocalist and lyrics, it could probably be a 2.5-3 star album. I'm just glad it was short.
Well that was quite unique, wasn’t it? Just the thing for a list like this. Hard rock, blues, theater, doo-wop all on the same record. At different times, the singer sounds like Robert Plant, Bon Scott, Billy Squier, and Noddy Holder. It’s a shame one song had to be called “Gang Bang.”
Not bad, not bad, but nothing special. Track number 3 (I forgot the name) annoyed me.
Sensasjonelt er det ikke, dog har skiva noen redeeming features. Det første jeg tenker er Alice Cooper, bare litt mer skrøpelig. Gang Bang og Giddy Up a Ding Dong er skikkelig drittlåter. Men så har du The Faith Healer som er en ordentlig jam. Og tittelsporet som minner litt om solo-skiva til Geordi Greep; kanskje hakket mer carnivalesque (kan skjønne at Nick Cave var blodfan). Siste låta er en rollercoaster som beveger seg fra ballade, til rock 'n' roll anthem, og til sist full commitment til doo-wop. Eklektisk nok til at jeg kan respektere det. Hadde bumpa det opp om den hadde sterkere fillers.
Alex Harvey har noen bops, men det her ble litt for mye boogiewoogie for min del. «Thank you», «Next»
Johan fikk en enorm bæsjebleie mens jeg hørte på dette albumet og jeg syns det var mer fornøyelig å vaske bæsjen hans med en tørr våtserviett enn å høre på dette
Influential? Absolutely. Has it been done better? Also yes, especially the style that Bon Scott would later embody on songs like "Big Balls", and "The Jack".
Tbh nije mi bilo bas posebno, ne sviđa mi se ovakva glazba ://
What does a "soft shoe banana" mean?
A hyper sexual meatloaf? The rock licks are solid. The material is out of my scope.
Very unique sound and it isn't repetitive like some of the other albums I've listened to.
La Banda sensacional de Alex Harvey es un proyecto con el que nunca me interioricé mucho. Creo que es distinta mi experiencia con este disco que con Tank Battles. Yo había escuchado, aunque poco, a Next, mientras que con Tank Battles ésto no había pasado. Al mismo tiempo, yo sí estoy familiarizado con Slapp Happy, la banda que supo tener Dagmar Krause en los 70s, mientras que esta banda medio que ni fu ni fa. Sé que son una banda de glam, de las que están en la 2da mitad de tier list, sé que son más rockandroleros y cabeza, y escuché un par de discos de ellos (incluyendo Next) sin que me hayan provocado una sensación memorable. ¿Qué cambia ahora, habiendo escuchado Next un par de veces más con mayor detalle? No mucho, la verdad. Son rock and roll (tema uno del disco) y boogie (tema dos del disco) con cero pretensiones. Suenan bien, pero también hacen música medio pelotuda. Creo que no destacan. Yo prefiero mi glam más sesudo (Roxy Music, Cockney Rebels) o más histriónico (Bowie, Mott the Hoople), y dentro del más rock and rollero me quedo con el gran Marc Bolan y, si necesito una dosis extra de actitud cruzo el océano y me quedo con los New York Dolls. Otro minus del disco es que, como Deep Purple con su superior In Rock, es imposible no sentir que las canciones se ALARGAN unos minutos de más. La mayoría de ellas, al menos. Y las mejores. Mi canción favorita es The Faith Healer, pero tiene una introducción que se alarga por dos minutos y medio. Es la canción más seria, la más épica. El tema en el que ellos dicen "bueno, vamos a dejar de hacer boogie boogie y vamos a patear algunos culos" y, sacando algunos ruiditos medio infantiles y campanitas que cada tanto aparecen, y esa introducción larga es una muy buena canción. Tan buena que ha sido interpretada por mejores artistas que Alex Harvey (qué me perdonen). El gran Fish tiene una EXCELENTE versión de este tema. Gang Bang está bien también, pero es solo un boogie pelotudo y divertido. Re bien tocado, con arreglos de vientos muy simpáticos. Pero es eso, un boogie pelotudo. No es el único, el track 4 del disco, Giddy up a ding dong también es un boogie pelotudo. Mucho más pelotudo. Es la peor canción del disco. Por suerte también es la más corta. Además de Gang Bang y The Faith Healer me gustó la última canción, aunque también tiene problemas: The last of the Teenage Idols. Es la canción más larga del disco, pero en este caso su duración está más justificada porque tiene distintas partes, aunque igual se podría decir que todas estas partes se estiran un poco: la canción empieza como una balada que se va electrificando, esto da paso a la parte más glam de la canción, un rock and roll que arranca por los tres minutos: es super genérico pero espectacular (me gustan los arreglos de vientos) y engancha perfecto con la primera parte de la canción. Es un tema que suena divertido tocar y que debía ser divertido verlos ejecutar en un show. En los últimos dos minutos la canción da lugar a un doowop. El paso de rock and roll a doowop es más forzado (y da cuenta de las limitaciones de la banda): parece que priorizaron el concepto por sobre la composición. Las otras canciones cumplen y están bien. Swampsnake, referida pero no mencionada al principio es un rock and roll competente. No aporta mucho, pero está bien tocado. Casi 5 minutos: ese es su problema; la canción homónima está bien, pero es medio pelotudo. Es un "tango", noten las comillas; o sea, no es un tango real, sino la cosa que los gringos interpretan como tango. Está bien ubicado por la mitad del disco, proporcionando cierta "variedad" al álbum, pero la canción no parece cambiar mucho en sus cuatro minutos de duración. Otro rock and roll es Vambo Marble Eye. Es un poco más interesante: es una especie de rock and roll genérico mezclado con Doctor John, y después en el estribillo recuerdan que son una banda glam, repitiendo el título de la canción en una melodía muy buena (que no renuncia a las vibes Doctor John). De vuelta: 4 minutos, 25 segundos. Y también cuenta con una letra medio pelotuda. Humorística en este caso. Es una curiosidad, pero una que dura más de lo que debería. Estoy entre dos o tres estrellas. Me inclino por lo segundo, considerando otros ratings que hice. Este disco no es mucho peor que What's the Story Morning Glory y es mejor que 461 Ocean Boulevard, pero es un TRES ESTRELLAS débil.
Really enjoyed, will add to a more frequent rotation
Didn't hit.
Most of these songs were 3 minutes too long. Next was the only song that didn’t drag, the rest were just one idea repeated for 4+ minutes. I don’t understand this album’s inclusion on the list.
Dull by numbers rock
Bit rapey. Funny that we consider the 90s rappers as mysoginsts when this is a bit of fun. Awful man awful lyrics awful music.
Not sure why I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did,, some properly great sounds. Bit of a scattergun approach, but most of it landed
Barely in the top 1001 albums of 1973 when it was released. Much more of a camp musical than most of that blues rock stuff in that era. It had a real Cabaret vibe. I bet Meatloaf loved this shit.
Another great discovery on the 1001 list for me. Although most of the lyrics are laughable, I really enjoyed the bluesy swamp rock and punky riffs.
Jesus Christ, what on earth is this? I didn't know what to expect and I still don't know what I have been listening to. I mean, 'The faith healer' is a fantastic song, reminiscent of Can, truly revolutionary for 1973. But the album follows with 'Giddy up a ding dong', not just a stupid title but also an absurd Racey-like glamrock or glampop-song. In Next we get German cabaret, 'Swampsnake' is a straight ahead blues rocker, 'Gang bang' a boogie-type of song. Closer 'The last of the teenage idols' is three songs in one, ending with something like crooning over a shalalalala-choir. Seriously. Yes, it's an eclectic mix. But if you can make a song like 'The faith healer', why not make a couple of those and fill an album with that?
Ain't nothing like a gangbang 🔥🔥 we all should know less about each other strasznie jęczy, na pewno jest awangardowy, wyboisty i sceniczny nic sie nie wybilo tak specjalnie zeby mnie skusic BARDZO TEATRALNE dobra jednak vambo marble eye mnie skusilo chuj chuj chuuj
Not great, overly sexual with no subtlety. "The Faith Healer" was great, nothing else stood out.
Why are so many people hating on this! Its pretty good! Not worthy of a majority 1 ⭐️ reviews! Bluesy, noisy, adlibbed-ish, nice grooves, quirky and fun! The lyrics go between the absurd and the obscene! While not my new favourite bad, I enjoyed it!
Good sound until he opened his mouth.
Samme albumcover som Black Sabbath Vol. 4 jo
Experimental, crazy, and very sex focused. Fun to listen to - as long as you don't get sucked into the lyrics Favourite song: Vambo Marble Eye
If the other tracks were anything like "Faith Healer," I would agree that this might be an album worth listening to before you die, but they are definitely not. Dreadful.
As much as Alex tried to get me to hate this, I couldn’t
Interesting
This was bad. Terrible lyrics too
This was a raucous good time - not much else to say
This is a weird hybrid of hard rock, glam, and "Rocky Horror" type hijinks...and much of it doesn't work. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard sometimes and the song "Gang Bang" is as ridiculous as the title would suggest. But on "Faith Healer" and the final song, it comes together into something satisfying. No interest in seeking out more from these guys but, as an influence on an album like "Bat Out of Hell," I can see the appeal.
Sensational is a real stretch. Reminds me of Alice Cooper but less fun, less interesting, and a lot creepier. Above all just boring with a lot of repetition of verses that did nothing for me in the first place. This might have been subversive when it came out but has aged like milk, found it lame
Fjollet bras med et kæmpe underholdene glimt i øjet. Jeg grinede flere gange igennem det.
Wow. Sikke en tur rundt i genre. Det lyder både glammet, punket og trækker på tydelige tidligere blues inspirationer. Der er noget dejlig kant på hele oplevelsen. Ikke noget at sige til at det her er en af Nick Caves tidligste indflydelser.
jesus this sucked lol. the gangbang song made me lol though.
Doesn’t quite meet its sensational tag, but pretty good overall
Not my cup of tea, there was one track I liked but I already forgot which one it was
A short happy album. I actually enjoy the yodel in Gang bang. The intro of The Faith Healer sounds modern K-pop for me. Giddy up a ding dong is very playful. It has a simple hook but also has other complex and diverse elements like key change / tempo change. So it’s quite balanced. I liked it. The problem is the vocal sounds too dramatic, and I can hear his voice cracked on purpose (next). Or at least it sounds in control. Technique wise I think he’s ok, some grits are actually very nice. But most time he just doesn’t sound pleasant. And too many contrived bends. If he was asked to record it a second time I’m not sure if he will feel awkward about the delivery. In my opinion, if he can just sing in just a slightly more normal way, and maybe use more of his chest voice, it will be much better.
this album is all things weird and hilarious. it was fun to listen to, but half the time I was wondering what I was actually listening to. surprised that this actually made it onto a top 1,001 list, but here we are.
Gotta giddy up a ding dong.
I hate his voice. I hate these lyrics. I hate the music. These songs do nothing for me. At best they're boring. At worst they're unsuccessfully trying to be edgy.
Musically interesting kindo of hard rock mixed with cabaret style bombast/melodrama. Lyrically silly and sophomoric. But the interesting arrangements, very tight playing and dramatic presentation makes for a pretty enjoyable listen despite the terrible lyrics. 3.5 stars
Superb
Meh
Like a wild Cabaret story set to rock music. I’m not mad at it but I’m not sure about it either. Gang Bang was fun. 2 stars. Could become 3 with more listens.
Don’t know what to expect but wouldn’t have guessed Rocky Horror/Meatloaf/Steven Tyler.. I think the global reviews are a bit low - this was stupid but really fun. 3.5/5
It had its highlights, but much of it felt resigned to shock rock. The missing link between Mott the Hoople and AC/DC.
I want whatever substances they had when they wrote these songs
Some fun songs, but often problematic thematically in our more politically correct times. This one really shows its age both musically and lyrically.
good album, but in my opinion it's not worth listen to it before you die.
If you'd asked me what I remembered about The Sensational Alex Harvey Band from my '70s childhood, when my older brothers liked them, I'd tell you that I had a memory of slightly stompy, solid, blues-y rock and roll, with a charismatic front man. 50+ years on, my impression seems to have been accurate. I quite enjoyed it, although my own taste does normally veer towards the slightly more "arty", for want of a better word.
Some of the lyrical content might be questionable, but the music and delivery are excellent, in my opinion. I can absolutely see why he/they were such an influence on some of my favourite artists.
1973. This is really quite a decent offering and very much a surprise to my ears. I was always under the impression that TSAHB were proper dad rock, and to be fair there's an element of glam rock, which is to be expected for the time, however there's a smattering of very good tracks, 'The Faith Healer' is excellent. There's also some utter rubbish 'Giddy Up A Ding Dong', as the name suggests, is horrific. Less novelty would make this a better album. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ unlikely Good in places ★★★☆☆
3.5/5
In which a woman is objectified, debased, and abused, and “smiles through the tears.” Take this album off the list.
How did this guy get an album released? This just feels trashy.
As soon as the music started, I was pumped up. Very high energy and fun. But then when the singer started up, yeah energy gone. He was ok. Next was pretty funny, and The Last Of The Teenage Idols was good. The rest was mediocre. Hard to rate, I want to give it a 2 for the singing but the music was really a blast, so I'll go with a 3. Best song: The Last Of The Teenage Idols
3.5 - a goofy album that actually sounds good
I quite liked this. The lyrics point to a troubled soul but I like the music whilst feeling for the artist
A good bluesy/glam rock album, you can definitely hear the influence they had on AC/DC. Good album and a bit of fun
3,5
2.5
Alex, I had my doubts, but you guys are pretty sensational. Just trim “The Faith Healer” and we’re golden.
Dont touch me
Sabia que a banda ‘The Sensational Alex Harvey Band’ continuou se chamando ‘The Sensational Alex Harvey Band’ mesmo após a saída do sensacional Alex Harvey?
I can tell they had fun. Glad the album wasn't longer tho, I'll be real. There is only so much guitar wailin one can take.
I agree with the criticisms but still liked listening to this more than most other albums on this list
Good fun, 1/2 duds but overall a good album
Tylsää perusrokkia
Silly, sexual and a bit gross. Not sure I'll look at the Scottish the same after listening to this album.
Interesting and quite entertaining in parts, but not something I’ll return to
Freaky
Rockin
Music is pretty cool, lyrics sound like they belong to Spinal Tap songs. Not a fan of the singing either.
1973 Scotland. Glam rock, hard rock
The stylistic jumps require trust in the process to follow but is never really earned and honestly, after the first two tracks (and even then...) it's a struggle. I suppose it's fun in a bombastic way but am I putting it on again to marvel in stunning musicianship, be transported by masters of a creative space, or process some emotions? nah.
nope
Not for me
This one was a bit of a mixed bag. I’ll give credit where it’s due—Scott LaFaro and Bill Evans usually get all the shine, but Paul Motian deserves props for trying something different here. He blends jazz, bop, free improv, and even a little touch of blues and doo-wop. That doo-wop flair toward the end of "Gloria’s Step" actually caught me off guard in a good way. The opening track had a cool groove and set the stage nicely, but unfortunately, the rest of the album just faded into background noise. I didn’t dislike it, but I never felt pulled in either
Quite entertaining
Me gusta cuando son así sacaditos. El tema es que se siguen repitiendo las temáticas. Nota: 2.5
Very sub optimal 1970 ‘s rock nothing sparks nothing new, not sure why it merits inclusion. Not glam, not pub rock, cardboard music.
Interesting lyrical choices, but, oh my lord this album will shock you. He's not hiding anything about what he wants. Musically, it's very glam rock.
Pretty boring 70's glam rock. Nothing jumped out.
Just old pre-roco, nothing special
Fun listen. Nice to hear a band not take themselves too seriously during their time.
Just nothing
Took me half the album to understand what it's supposed to be. Once I wrapped my head around it, I really appreciated its fusion of heaviness and glam. Guaranteed this would go hard as f*** in a live setting - serious Bon Scott vibes, with a big & loud band behind such an electrifying performance. With that said, I expect 3/5 people I know would get into this. Might be higher if the track sequencing changed. I'd put Teenage Idols or Giddy Up at the front of the album, and Next as track 2 to really advertise this as a showpiece.
The Sensationally Annoying Alex Harvey Band
Alright but did't jump out at me
Meh. The song about the gang bang was funny but it’s alright. Next was interesting. 2 stars.
Never heard of this guy but this was fun! I liked Gang Bang a lot. It got pretty weird by the end but overall glad I heard it. Light 4.
Very 1970s glam rock. Some of it is pretty good.
Serviceable glam rock. Nothing special here to me
2.6 Not my thing but it’s kinda fun
A crazy, glammy album with so many twists and turns. Definitely returning to this one.
I can see why this was influential, but it leans too heavily theatrical.
1 stern
Pretty good, best unknown album so far. some fairly standard blues/boogie but one or two cool songs there.
never heard of this - pretty solid, and interesting historical album, given the influence it seems it had
Idk. It’s just not for me
Heard of them, but hadn't heard them. Very disappointing. Juvenile even for 1971.
Oh fuck yes! I bloody love this album - it's comic book rock, blending twisted vaudeville lunacy with a hard hitting rhythm section and incendiary guitar work. There is impressive music on display here - agile, adept and clever. The lunacy would not work without such tight songwriting and playing! At times dark and weird (how on earth was The Faith Healer such a hit??), other times jolly and rocking - Alex and his band run a wide gamut of bathetic emotions, introducing a menagery of characters who all behave appallingly. What a character, what a band - Next is their best work. Sensational. Favourite tracks: Gang Bang, Next, Vambo, Last Of The Teenage Idols (one of my very favourite songs in all of music)
Hidden semi jam
Pretty one-dimensional jangle rock. Juvenile and not in a fun way. Seems disingenuous and trying too hard to be edgy even for the time. Meh.
Kind of strange lyrics, not so great or unique sound. Some decent songs but overall not good.
Mostly loud and frantic, all over the place and dated, but still decent rock
Was pleasantly drifting along, half-listening to the mediocre rock music, when he started talking about gonorrhea. If you're going to to be edgy and confrontational, at least have the courage to commit to it, instead of couching it in adolescent humor.
This was very icky. Musically I didn't mind it - I even kind of liked Next and The Last of the Teenage Idols. But lyrically? Woof. Idk man, I think dudes in the 70s were straight-up predators.
Not sensational, but not bad.
The instrumentals were good. Really good. Reminded me of Rocky Horror Picture Show in a way. Weird. Oddly showtuney.
What is this?? Why is it here? It's like bad glam rock. Wait. No. Not like. It is bad glam rock. "The Last of the Teenage Idols" caught my attention, and was almost good? But the album had kind of dug its own grave at that point. It's really nothing special or spectacular and especially nothing sensational. The closer you listen to it, the more it just doesn't feel right or sound all that good. It's also all over the place, too. Like sloppy and incredibly un-cohesive. Favorite Song(s): Gang Bang
Can’t tell you how much I hated this. My god I wish I could give it 0
if i wanted to listen to a really unpleasant and annoying man go on and on about a gangbang I'd just redownload grindr
That was fun, I'll keep it on the shuffle server.
That was wild.
You'll be hearing from HR in the morning.
What in the world did I just listen to? Part Meatloaf, part Twisted Sister. Throw in some Ted Nugent and a little KISS. Maybe a splash of Alice Cooper and even a bit Weird Al. Regardless, I was not a fan.
Decent album. I’d listen to more stuff like this but can’t see myself going back to this often.
3.6 some interesting lyrical content
Singularly the worst album I have ever listened to.
Not for me!
Second half of this album was quite interesting. The first half was quite difficult.
Can’t remember was probably okay
RIP Alex Harvey you would have loved Diddy's freak-offs
I found the album to definitely be a smooth listen especially early in the morning. The album turned my mundane work day into a day full of high energy fun and laughter. For someone that does not normally listen to this music, i would listen to this album again.
Everyone else on here must be listening to a different album, really fun classic rock. Feels almost punk-y at times.
what the fuck
I think I'd be more accepting if this was intended as a Led Zeppelin parody.
Musically it isn't so bad, but maybe a bit generic at times. Has a Mississippi rock sound with a mix of Chicago. The lyrical content is funny but gets old quick. I think I enjoyed the track the Faith Healer the most, but mostly the intro was hypnotic, the second half of the song was just ok. Overall, this album is not good. Not sure why it was part of this collection.
This is sensationally bad, but I do see how its crude sensibilities could delight Nick Cave (and other iconic artists as different as AC/DC and The Cure). If you’d like to hear a better version of ‘Next’, please listen to Scott Walker’s dramatic take on that same song!
You can tell how this influenced other bands. But I think those bands do it better. 2/5
Alright
Sometimes the joke just doesn't land.
Sounds fun
i really did not like this. very theatrical in a musical theater kind of way. not my thing.
