Not for me
What a big pile of … nothing
Album = bad
Klarte ikke høre ferdig, veldig kjedelig. Høyt potensiale på mange av sangene, men skjedde ingenting. Overall: 3/10
Waste of my time.
Ei vaan jaksanu kuunnella kokonaan.
I think this should have been called throw in the fire since that’s where this album belongs. Spacemen 3 also equally dumb name. This album was not good, not enjoyable, and not for me. 2.0/10
WTF?!?!? I had to skip songs because they are LITERALLY painful to listen to! Several minutes later... I can't even with this album. Had to shut it off. It's just excruciating noise!
Musiikkia jonka tahtiin säveltää omia kappaleita - ei tule tielle.
Garbage.
Forgettable noise.
Boring. Did not finish.
Honey 2 Come Down Softly to My Soul 1.8 How Does It Feel? 1.2 I Believe It 1.4 Revolution 2.3 Let Me Down Gently 1.1 So Hot (Wash Away All of My Tears) 1.3 Suicide 1 Lord Can You Hear Me? 1.2 Score: 1.477777778
A looooot of noise
psychadelic, new age, not mine!
So repetitive. When a song starts, you think oh this one might be good, but it never changes. So repetitive. Same beat, same chords. So repetitive. I don't care about their revolution. So repetitive. This album barely even has a Wikipedia article. So repetitive.
im so fckng confused wtf is going on. i dont get it. this is not for me . im not at an age where i would GET this i guess so idk nvmd lol. whole lotta noise and for what was i supposed to T*KE something before listening to this one..? where are the directions *looks in the trash for what the package says* im kidding its not tHat bad. but it is
Noisy and unenjoyable, for me.
So far, Revolution is the only song that has caught my attention, but even that managed to lose it by the end. I see how this could have influenced some bands, but honestly, it sounds derivative of several other bands and their friends hyped them up a bit to help them out.
I would like to request a refund for the time I spent listening to this!
Started out boring and got annoying fast
Highlights: "Suicide" This album's reputation as a "godfather of shoegaze" explains a lot. A fake genre hallucinated by people who don't know what effects are, describing their own incomprehension of hardware, the push of a button, as a musical accomplishment. I do believe that you could give a random person an amp and a couple modulators and get this quality. One of the tracks in the middle really is just droning on a flanger. No reason to listen to this over anything else. Imagine if Suicide was stuck trying to be the Doors. Imagine if Jane's Addiction had no energy. Imagine if Lou Reed had nothing to say.
I left the room to wash my hands and when I came back they were still playing the same note.
Gosh I feel like the past three albums have been similar? I just feel like I’m stuck in a loop of albums that sound unfinished and just bad. This album in particular was just so distasteful. It honestly brought nothing to me and I wouldn’t listen again.
I got as far as the track "Suicide" but didn't finish because i killed myself half way through so I could spare myself any more. Mission Accomplished, Spacemen... "How Does It Feel" is one of the most hilariously-terrible mopey/shoegazey songs we've had in over 2 years. I can almost picture exactly the college scene - walking into a darkened room, this playing (on cassette) with 7 people sprawled out across the floor barely moving. That track in particular has a lot of "GET ON WITH IT ALREADY" to it even within a minute. I love long songs when done right - this was not. And .... ok gloves off, this actually bothers me - like - make an effort already? This album gets exponentially worse and worse - I'd thought after the first track or 2 that this had some potential but it all plays out like one big fking joke. "Revolution" - really? one chord - spoken vocals - eh this is not my bag which I ordinarily can just appreciate and move on but this is actively offensive. Maybe the worst part for me is that some decent band from Bristol in 1985 probably got screwed out of releasing an album to the world because shit like this was pushed instead. 1 out of spite. 2/10 1 star. n.b. jfc of course .... FROM WIKI: "...the band drew inspiration from acts like the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, and Suicide..." ...a genuine triple-decker shit sandwich. It makes so much sense now.
Not for me I'm afraid. I'm OK with shoegaze, I'm OK with Prog but this is just a long and uninteresting ramble.
What did I just listen to
Heard of Spacemen 3, always got them confused with Spiritualized (Ladies and Gentlemen we are floating in space). This is pretty bad. Early shoegaze which has never been my thing as a genre, just sounds like some musicians got stoned and start a song then forget what they're doing. Suicide is the same two keyboard notes over and over for 11 minutes.
Weird. Really tried to enjoy it, but I could not. Sorry Spacemen.
Albums that mention being included in 1001 Albums you must hear before you die on their wikipedia blurb generally and ironically shouldn't be included in 1001 Albums you must hear before you die.
I enjoyed none of this album.
um's auf kasselänerisch zu sagen: homme nit, wumme nit, brumme nit
Annoy sounds "music" at it again. Why are there so many terrible albums like this and no truly excellent albums in so many other genres.
Not a hit with the family.
två timmar av oljud och helvete
Kunne ikke komme i gennem, næsten umuligt at høre på. Ikke plat ligesom cowboyder, men ikke min smag
Album 228 of 1001 Spacemen 3 - Playing with Fire Rating : 1 / 5 Mostly electronic stuff that just didn't hit the spot.
My husband had this album the day before me. At first I thought it was someone cutting their grass or pressure washing their car, it was that monotonous and annoying. Suffice today did not enjoy when I had it.
Clearly influential and you can hear the similarities to the likes of Spiritualized. I'm rating on my own enjoyment though, and it's boring. I got to the third track which lasts for 8 minutes and goes nowhere. Tedious
Started off strong and then devolved into a horrible new age wannabe
Yawn.
Vaag, psychedelische rock is niet mijn ding
Liked the start, quit after the distorted guitars began.
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
Awful
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.
