the english need to be stopped
Not for me. The mix of British 80s into proto-90s does not age well.
If you made it past Bob's Yer Uncle, you're a stronger person than me. Jesus Christ that was insufferable.
I didn’t even finish it. Vocals are horrible
Yep, this garbage will give you a bellyache. But no thrills.
Different
The only good part of the album is when they rip off Lady Marmalade for one line.
Highlights: Kinky Afro, Denis and Lois -Truly funky -Lacks the energy it needs at times -I find the vocals really lacking -What the actual fuck is Bob's Yer Uncle. I haven't felt more uncomfortable listening to a song in my entire life -Doesn't really have that much to make it interesting so it gets boring a lot of times -The lyrics are mostly shit -Overall boring and uninteresting album, wouldn't listen to it again Rating: 3/10
Nothing special, just more Britpop that I have come to expect from this list.
Just totally glazed over listening to this one - nothing here I even remotely enjoyed
Fuck britpop and whatever this is, too. 1.3
not really my thing.
Couldn't make it through. Some tracks were mildly interesting, but many were just grating.
Niet mijn ding
No me gustó
Nooo I can make it Just one month Please have mercy 1
Nicht meine Richtung
ummm wtf
Not a fan. Bland garbage that didn’t feel different or new for being from 1990
Really didn’t enjoy any of this
Just noise to me. 1/5
cool concepts. flop album.
Just didn't like this album. It sounded like worse versions of bands I like and don't like. 1/5
Soort van post 80 vibe. Word er helemaal gestoord van.
Trippy, Brit-hippie nonsense. I like some of the Martin Hannett-associated stuff, but this ain't one of them. Sounds like the Spin Doctors fucked Blind Melon and the offspring were raised on a diet of cheap ecstasy and dirt weed in Manchester.
This was terrible
OK so the album opens w/ a song called "Kinky Afro" and then you look up at the player & there's an actual music video for it, in which you see.... a bunch of awkward white guys bopping along as they play to a bunch of expressionless white women awkwardly swaying back & forth. The rest of the album was a mix of horribly annoying & constantly-sliding-off-tune half-spoken half-sung wails, and just plain generic. Maybe this album has some special meaning to Brits for some reason, but I won't be listening to them again.
I don't get it. Is this a joke or too much a product of its time?
back when people were looking forward to what future holds with stupid optimism "whohooo, let's ride, ride on, ride on!" absolute nightmare to listen to awful voice the epitomy of "repeat the same notes enough times, they could start sound somewhat pleasant" how did this make it on the list is beyond me, I can find 10000 albums more interesting, pleasant and important. or was it somehow so influential that it absolutely needs to be heard?
Is this what sublime would have sounded like if Bradley Nowell had stayed clean?
Wasn’t really my jam.
Unfortunately, this feels like it’s right in between two genres that I don’t really enjoy. I feel the 90s Manchester punk rock club scene creeping in, which to me just feels dirty and sticky and it’s something that I can’t identify with. I also feel the distant drum machines of the late 80s new wave, and I just don’t enjoy it. It just feels grimy to me, like a hangover where I wake up with a bad taste in my mouth. Numbly violent. And I feel like the people that it bred are people that I don’t actually connect with very much. So, I feel bad to hate an album that I’m sure means a lot to a lot of people. I mean, it certainly made me feel something. Just not the feeling I ever really want to have.
1/5 Best: Kinky Afro Worst: Loose Fit
the cover is more interesting than music
DNF
I don't like this music.
Why do I keep getting BritPop in here
Nope.
Don’t see anything redeemable about it. Boring as hell
No.
there’s nothing happy about mondays
Yeah, didn't love it. A little too poppy. A little boring.
God what an annoying album, I wholeheartedly prefer silence. No favorite track
Despite the cover art, this album is kind of boring and uninteresting to me. Guess you had to be there.
Langweilig und verzichtbar.
Could’ve gone without this one also. 90’s movie soundtrack vibes. I do not like 90’s music. Why does this website suggest that I do?
No es mi estilo
not enjoyable
Even their big hit, "Step On" was ranking a solid 2 for me, at most. It felt muddy, like the songs had no clear direction.
Kind of hit and miss for me 3
Could not determine as half the tunes were blocked out on spotify.
