Reviews (page 8 of 8)

Drags on with the songs very little lyrics for songs that play a whole two minutes after it ends not good at all

wow another UK psychedelic rock from the 80s. woo.

Unenjoyable

Liked maybe, 1 song. Too much for me

Never heard of this band or album. Definitely not for me. Had to skip through songs. The first album on this list I couldn't make it through. 1/5

just noise

Spacemen 1

Some days I feel like this list is pranking me. Today is one of those days. I suppose it’s impressive that it’s both extremely uninteresting and also extremely irritating at the same time. Could be useful to scare pests out of your garden?

Damnit. I can see that this group was influential and groundbreaking but sweet Jesus - Monday is already hard enough without having to listen to 10min tracks of distorted guitar and mumbled lyrics.

Entirely inconsequential and bafflingly identity-free

not my vibe

Words escape me on this one.

Terribly dull

Que tipo de dr0ga a pessoa tem que tomar pra conseguir ouvir 2h disso?

Nope. This is not good. There are some genres of music that I do not understand how they became even slightly popular and this is one of them. Maybe it is because I never did any drugs. Haha.

Pretty boring and repetitive

The album is the definition of boredom.

Oh dear, soporific and not in a good way

This was not good. It was set of painful to listen to and put me in a terrible mood.

Not really much to note here

That was bad

Never heard of this band and for good reason. As someone who enjoys melodies, what a slog to get through. Maybe they were influential on others, but the authors including this while excluding so many black artists and women from this list reflects really poorly on them.

Mostly just ambient noise

To timer med forvrengte gitarer? Nei takk. Jeg er litt i tvil på karakteren: Albumet er originalt kun de første ni sangene, og da kunne det kanskje fått en toer. Dessverre er versjonen på Spotify nyere, og inkluderer remikser og live-versjoner. Jeg orker ikke å høre "Suicide", en 12 minutter lang bråkete sang, tre ganger på to timer.

Somebody needs to teach this band what a chord change is.

Boring assault on the ears

Hated it. Awful crap. Sucked. Why are they making me listen to this tripe? I can't find any redeeming value whatever in this so called music. Pure torture to listen to. 0/10 do not recommend.

No idea what is this

Not quite.

No idea what this is but here are my predictions: - from the UK - electronica of some kind - goes for an hour or more Basically nailed it. From the UK, isn't strictly electronica but is primarily synth sounds, samples and noises etc. Goes for 2 hours and can GET FUCKED. Good god this was a whole lot of boring nothingness. 1/5.

I had never heard of this band, album and I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked play on the first track, Honey. I'm an hour in...and nothing has hooked me yet. It's lo-fi beats with boring, flat whispering layered over it. Where's the hits?! I had to turn it off. I couldn't even take it as "background noise".

Definitely nope.

Boring

Oh god, feels like a stoner asking "but how do you really feel man?" and dragging you down at a party when you just want to have fun.

horrible

I must have been tired when I looked at this cover at and thought I’d be listened to a band called Specimen 3. Clearly, I’ve forgotten how to read. I hadn’t heard of this band or this album until today so let’s see how it is. Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Revolution Experimental music has always been somewhat hit and miss for me. If it’s too different to what I’m used to, I’ll often have a hard time listening to it. Well four minutes into track 3 (How Does It Feel) I had completely lost interest in this album. Track was was okay, but then it was all downhill from there. I can say it was interesting at times, but that isn’t to say I enjoyed it. If I woke up one morning without kneecaps, that would also be interesting but not very fun. I think that’s an accurate simile for this album. It’s the audio equivalent of unexplainably losing your kneecaps.

Pretty annoying. A few moments of "not bad" but never approaching enjoyable. A lot of the songs felt fragmented or unfinished. Not particularly interesting in any way.

Kinda ass

I have never heard of this band. With pretty much every track I feel as if I am waiting for the song to begin - as if it is unfinished. Good background music……I guess.

Not a 1000 list

No es para mí

Básicamente ruido, sin ton ni son.

I prefer songs that have more than one or two notes.

Terrible

The youtube link is all fucked. so I'm not going to get a clean run at this album. Though thats not a huge loss, three tracks in and its a big boring nothing burger so far. It lacks any apprechiable drive, or forward thrust. just sort of floating noodling. Then Revolution happens and the whole space thing is dissolved into something just as aimless but with rhythm. I don't think I have liked a single track thus far and its time for the 11 minute song Suicide. God, what a turd.

Boring

Not for me.

I really do not enjoy these long, repetitive, meandering tracks that don't build to anything.

honey is too static-y?? 1/5 started off solid tho not that great IMO maybe years of pop has ruined me lmao revolution is turning out to be good,,, again started off solid, the middle was shit, the ends v good so hot is good my fav from this album rn lord help me out has such amazing starting instrumentals,, okay now its too much production IMO, 2.1/5 che is good,,, okay its ruined now may the circle be unbroken is def my fav now. 4.3/5 any way that you want me (demo) is pretty good girl on fire (demo) is nice cool instruments

Dunno why but absolutely could not stand this. Didn't get through it. The audio equivalent of waiting for a drunk to get to the point, only for them to not have one.

Pretty chill 3 Nevermind it's really boring 2 Sounds like they forgot to tune their instruments. Ok this sucks, they even fucked up "May The Circle Be Unbroken". How. 1

This album is repetitive and boring. This album is the definition of insanity.

Couldn't finish it.

Couldn’t get into it.

En tiedä minkälaisissa pöllyissä pitäisi olla, että tämä alkaisi kuulostaa hyvältä. Pitäisi varmaan nähdä musiikki väreinä tai jotain? Laiskaa maalailua ja ei mielestäni mitenkään erityisen teknistä tms. En saanut tästä mitään irti.

Sellainen taidepläjäys. Eipä kauheasti positiivista mieleen jäänyt. Ehkä Revolution-kappaleessa oli vähän edes yritystä? Onkohan Brian Enolla joku rooli tässä?

If their intention was to make me feel physically ill for 1hr 59min then it's an easy five stars. Totally uninspired writing, taking themselves way too seriously and the fucking music itself is straight up headache inducing. Terrible album.

I feel like at times this album is supposed to be ambient and peaceful. But honestly a lot of the droning and nothing, into the spikes of noise just gave me fucking anxiety. I ended up feeling weirdly anxious throughout this whole album. I don't feel like I should hate it, but I really hated listening to it.

Grating psychedelica. Very dated (90s)

Dull, uninspired trash. Each song goes on for 8 mins too long. And the album outstays its welcome

No music there to review, just some noise

1/5 I think it's quite plain and at times annoying

Well, that was awful.

not good.

Soft sounds, more like soundtrack for a movie.

geen idee wat ik nu geluisterd heb

j'ai pas aimé ca point.
