meh
Just ok
I didn't much enjoy this.
Some good songs in the middle surrounded by complete garbage
Not for me. I missed the whole punk era, and this one didn't grab my attention.
This one wasn’t for me
This was OK, I thought the mix of heavy/punk metal and funk made for an interesting sound. Just didn't have any songs that stuck out to me as very memorable.
4/10 I would ask what this is doing anywhere near this list, but it has clearly been influential on a lot of stuff (that I happen to not enjoy very much…) Vocals really don’t do it for me at all, make it almost unlistenable at points Musically the purer punk metal stuff is weak, the broader/more 80s style ones work better Not great Best: Secret 77
It just doesn’t have anything good going for it. I really tried to like this one, but it’s too disparate and incoherent. There’s nothing musically interesting or particularly talented to be found here.
Meeeh
Just not my genre of music. This album was made to be a Tony Hawk Underground soundtrack.
What a departure from their roots, and not in a good way. It sounds like generic 80's hard rock bordering on metal rather than the hardcore punk that I loved in the first two albums. Really disappointed in this album.
Spotify says mixing punk with reggae, but sounds like a precursor to 90s hard rock. Seems fine, no strong feelings
Somewhat bouncy but mostly tedious metal (and neither too heavy nor too hardcore). One gets the history and influence, just doesn't dig the music ... or the politics ... or the religion. The weed, maybe. "Secret 77" seems best (or least tedious) track .. has a litlte new wave edge to it. More reggae woulda been additive, too. One can attest to the quality or seriousness of the lyrics as they are difficult to hear in the all mucky funk, but one doubts one would learn much. After all these decades of metallic and punky permutations and blendings, it seems worth asking if it was actually a good idea to merge all these genres.
Bit of middle of the road generic rock. Didn't particularly stand out unfortunately.
solid hard-rock with metal-touch but nothing remarkable.
The looping gets to be monotonous at times but overall I like the mix — very Pendulum without the Z-tar.
Man skulle jo tro det var fredag! Ville nok hellere have haft enten en rigtig fed hård rock plade eller en rigtig fed punk plade, de kan ikke rigtig beslutte sig her synes jeg.
it sounds like thugs trying to make classy music.
It got better than I expected at first but I expected it to be awful and it was merely annoying.
I enjoy a lot of the instrumentation and general riffs but the singing doesn't do a lot for me. Overall a lot of meh.
Okayish, sorry It's just really couldn't win my attention
Definitely a rough listen, vocals were quiet and hard to distinguish any kind of words/growls. Had some good guitar work and good riffs from time to time but was very all over the place and hard to follow. Not sure if this just isn't my genre but I don't see the appeal. 2 stars.
Ei se tämäkään vakuuttanut
This is like reggae vocals but paired up with thrash metal or hardcore punk music. It's weird. Strong Rasta vocals, but like the opposite of Rasta music. Instead of light and peaceful, it's hard and fast. It's like if Anthrax hired a Rasta to sing for them. The fast, thrashy songs are good, but the slow meandering ones, which this album is Ike 80% comprised of, don't really hit for me. They lack direction. They just kind of happen, and don't really accomplish anything. Disappointing. Favourite songs: House of Suffering Least favourite songs: Secret 77 2/5
Ich has jetzt nid mega genau gloset aber es isch mir scho biz zuu trashy das würklich würd lose. Could be worse. Could be Orgel Jazz ;}
Für das was es isch isches voll oke! Ich has ned ganz düregloset tbh und vo dem woni ghört ha findis ganz oke, aber etze ned wow
Bad, kicking
Not sure about this album. Is it metal, is it punk, is it rock, or some weird confusing mix of all three - Wikipedia says Alternative Metal/Hardcore Punk/Funk Rock/Funk Metal. I don't see why so many people should have considered this such an important album.
Not my cup of tea …
Punk music is just not for me. Some of the guitar solos were worthwhile.
Q. What does Shack eat for breakfast? A. LAMB CHOPS!
The wiki description made me think it would be better than it was. Didn't hear all the "funk and reggae" as described 2.4
I am convinced that the vast majority of the punk included in this list was done so as an afterthought to avoid the author getting yelled at about it
I am not a hardcore punk person sorry
meh
They really haven't found their target market with me.
Well produced but the music is not for me. None of this genre is for me. I appreciate that they kept it to just over 30'.
Not sure what this is... other than pretty bad.
Not my kingd of music
Ok, but not something I Will listen to again.
Not unpleasant but quite forgettable
Mjög einfaldur tvistur. Ekki fráhrindandi sound heilt yfir, en nákvæmlega engin þörf til að heyra þetta aftur. Held að restin af catalógnum sé ás.
Hyggeligt lille country album.
Excellent guitars and rhythm section. The vocals are just not for me.
Simply put, I don’t like it.
Not my typical style. I may have liked this when I was younger. I understand I against I has a following however
simply not 4 me but i respect it
There are brief moments where this album really shines. Though they are brief and rarely extend through the length of a track. Otherwise the sound can feel pretty discordant in a way that is not always pleasant.
For about the first half of this album it was the exact type of hardcore punk that I hate before it became okay 80s pop rock for a couple songs, then went back to being shit for the last couple songs and I got that irritated feeling of just wanting it to end. I can't say I hated it enough to give it a 1 but it's really fucking close.
Is Bad Brains one of the first bands to create music in hardcore punk genre? Very likely but is it enjoyable to listen to nowadays? Not at all, 0%. I'll admit it is an interesting record with quite unique sound and vocal, giving me a comparison to some albums by Beastie Boys, or even RATM at times. But overall it's very raw and just so sharp around the edges you have to take a break after every song. Once again, an album that's an essential part of the history, but not really easy to listen to.
Not sure what this was supposed to be. Interesting.
Alternative metal.Rollo.
Hmm, rar sammensetning av sjangera
Very occasionally interesting, but overall I find very little to care about or reason to revisit.
Clearly this has had lots of influence on bands that followed them, and is noteworthy for that. Unfortunately I just don't really like it. It sounds like punk but with stereotypical 80's pop production.
Not really my bag
Some hard rock mixed with thrash metal mixed with punk. An original concept that managed to sound very unoriginal. This album didn't do a damn thing for me despite being well written and performed: an extra star for that.
Love a lot of punk but this has, I don’t know, a bit much generic 80s sounds bleeding in? Don’t care for the vocals, production.
26th July 2023 Listened on the journey into the office. Back home and hung with Dougs in the evening. Short sharp blast of punk with a reggae twist. Can see the origins of Green day in here. 2.5 if I could.
В 2019 мне бы понравилось, 4/10
Still not sure what to make of Bad Brains. It’s a bit of early hair metal guitar and riffs, without melody or chorus refrains. The vocals are a bit of Danzig that morphs into the lead singer from Overkill. It’s weird. 2/5
Noisy and messy in an unfocused way. I can’t hear the riffs. I did prefer the second half of the album, but still a bit mid ‘80s unfocused heavy rock, but thankfully not thrash or just industrial.
You know how you have A list celebrities? This was like D list celebrity-esque metal.
Going to go against the reviews here and say that Rock For Light and Bad Brains are fantastic albums, ultra hardcore meeting reggae. This not so much I'm afraid, seems a bit of a watering down of the hardcore and a dilution of the reggae. Sorry.
Singer reminds me of Jake Cinninger. Pretty meh album. Not bad though.
I like the heavy instrumentals but the style of singing throws me off at times
This review is not sure that punk can be enjoyed carte blanche. In researching the album, the history and personal experiences of the band itself are interesting, but whether or not they inform an enjoyable musical experience that is necessary prior to passing is debatable. Part of making punk meaningful is making it sound like something someone may want to listen to in the first place. Sure, the album is rather diverse in its sounds that go beyond punk, and for that there is respect in adding some diversity to the genre. If it is just for the album itself and the circumstances during its creation where "Sacred Love" is essentially phoned in from the local pen vocals, well that is just a spectacle and not enough to score highly.
Easiest 2 stars of my life
Not really my sound for its lean towards metal
My problem with Bad Brains is that there were some better bands around at the time (Husker Du, anyone) and a number of the bands they influenced are significantly better. Although this album only clocks in at just over 30 minutes I'd had enough half way through. You know what you're getting, and you get it.
Dunno what to say other than this wasn't my bag. Maybe the singing style as I am becoming more and more open to punk. Glad it was only 30mins...
Never heard of this band. A little punk. A little Metallica-ish. First few songs too screamy for me. Secret 77 almost sounds like it could be a The Police song. I liked their pop-ier stuff.
Fun in the background but rather forgettable.
Didn't really enjoy this
I hear Tenacious D. I hear Faith No More. I hear 90s Metallica. And yet, not a metal band. A fun magic trick.
My late, great Grandma Helen always told me that the turkey needs to be "moist, like my pussy whenever I watch that Patrick Swayze dance." She would have despised this album. I hope she never was exposed to it during her lifetime. This album probably killed her now that I think about it.
Even for punk rock this feels like a mess
Pretty weak. Felt like soft hardcore.
J'aurais mis 2.5 si on me laissait le faire...
cette aventure est semée d'embûches
Nope Well…with the exception of Stereo 77
It was an ok album. It was a punk album with some reggae tones. It was a relatively short album which helped it. I have no desire to listen to it again.
Is this one of those ones where you had to be there? I like the more punk tracks, like'I Against I', but the more metallic songs are technically accomplished, but I find less compelling. Do I need it a bit rougher edged? Do I want some more intense attitude? Is it just paler in comparison to what I was expecting? I was expecting something wilder. I can hear that this predates Living Colour by a year or two. Hired Gun could totally be a Living Colour song. But not quite as catchy.
I know this is one of those bands where's you lose any credibility if you have anything but glowing praise for them, but this sounds like Megadeth if they did this kind of music. And Megadeth blows.
Here he is: Mike Patton‘s vocalist inspiration! From yodel to rock-a-billy over chords grinding explosions. The bass gets slapped real hard as come the breaks. A hard candy which delivers a hot-spicy taste. But that‘s it. 2.2
Did not enjoy at all
Nope. Not interesting to me at all. Didn't understand it or like it. Occasionally reasonable guitar riffs but vocal melody lines dull and vocal style not appealing.
Alternative metal.Rollo.
No redeeming features
Just a bit boring
I enjoyed the music, less so the vocals.
So I mean, there's nothing wrong about this but I still don't see why this would be in the top 1,001 albums -- maybe I wasn't listening closely enough or it had some big impact I'm not familiar with. It was fine
Not for me thanks
Not my favorite style of music, so it kind of started behind the 8 ball. I wouldn't say it's bad, but I struggle to get really any enjoyment out of harder punk rock. 3/10
Irritating.
I really want to like Bad Brains, but I cannot get into them.
I listened to this album a bit back when it came out and I know it's considered influential. Being a huge 80s punk fan I know I should love Bad Brains but it sounds dated and poorly produced (def not a in a cool lo-fi way). I'm sure in 1986 it was great.
Some moments of okayness but overall a bit too dirty rock
Only ok, like mediocre punk mixed with the worst excesses of the 80s. A pale shadow of the music they love, but interesting nonetheless
I miss the days of when Bad Brains were full of vitriol and righteous anger.
They can't keep in tune or decide on the time signature which wanders all over the place. Experimental punk rock reggae mix that didn't work for me most of the time. I can see that there would be a market for this just I am not part of it.
I mean I wasn’t in to it but at least it was short
Secret-77 is by far the best song to me, and it’s just OK. I do not care for H.R.’s vocal delivery at all.
Meh!
I found it all rather ordinary
i just dont like the singer's voice
I didn't like this when it first started. It definitely improved. Not sure I'd listen to it again. I don't know what I was listening to in 86 but it wasn't this. If this had come out 10 years later I probably would have been all over it.
More monotonous than hard-core. Maybe because of all we've heard in the years since, this sounds like your basic funky metal (and not all that heavy either). And, hey editors, where exactly is the reggae?
A little disappointing. Energy and power are high, the singer's voice even reminds me of Simon LeBon, but the songs are just not there. Nothing to write home about. 2/5.
Behoorlijk trots dat ik dit doorstaan heb, want echt goed vond ik het niet.
Ik heb dit uitgezeten en daar is ook alles mee gezegd.
My co-judge and I accused each other of owning this, but I think we were both wrong, it's more likely that it was released while we were at CKCU and we heard it there. "Secret 77" (especially the vocals) and "Sacred Love" I can listen to. I'm not so enamored with the dives into speed-metal that dominate the front-end of the album. I usually like guitar solos, but I found Dr. Know's guitar a bit grating, especially in the first few few tracks.
Not nearly as tight or exciting as their debut album, more so tainted by the general 80s tendency for repetitive vox and uninspiring, repetitive instrumentals (even by punk standards where the songs are under two minutes).
No thanks… garage punk with a lot of energy, but then not really that special. Somehow repeating what was delivered with previous releases..
Not what I expected - it’s a bit awkward - at times interesting but the vocals get in the way and I get hardpressed to find a song. I want to like it but I can’t.
I've never heard of bad brains, and the cover doesn't give me much to go on. Intro is pleasantly heavy. The title track I against I is original and moves right along and now I get it, this is punk. With a nice dose of metal and some reggae rhythms. To my ears a fresh original sound, but the energy is so uneven I'm left feeling a bit confused. They certainly have range but, I find myself surprised to be saying, maybe too much range? This should be right up my alley but I didn't end up loving it by the end. Best track: She's Calling You.
Did not enjoy, felt like quite generic hard rock. Didn’t hold my attention.
Bad Brains' third album "I Against I" is their best-selling one. The punk band experimented with genres of funk, soul, reggae, and metal on this album. They showed the world that "you can still be hard by playing slow". This album also influenced many rock bands and artists to come in recent years. I thought this album was alright to listen to while working, but it wasn't amazing to me either.
Didn’t enjoy this one much. Had a pretty rough sound. Didn’t find too much value here as it seemed like a lesser quality alternative album. 3.7/10
Ceci me laisse plutôt indifférent. J’en comprends l’intérêt.
Another album that I'm not sure about how it got a place on this list.
Guys shouting all the time? not the type of music that id like.
Interesting punk album, not my kind of vocals
Hardcore punk pioneers. Musically very accomplished (for the genre), and interesting that the vocals for 'Sacred Love' were recorded down the phone from prison. However, it didn't really grab me. I generally like my hardcore punk to be a bit more light hearted and fun. 2/5.
De la canción Re-Ignition salió años después Ultrasonic Sound, de Hive. Y eso es lo único que le podemos agradecer a este disco.
I needed someone to guide me through appreciating this album, since I couldn't really do it by myself. There were moments where I liked the music, but I never got hooked into it. I liked "Secret 77" and I think I liked the gimmick of "Sacred Love" literally being phoned in.
I didn’t love this, although it was interesting for the strange mixing of genres. The musicians are very talented. The band sort of slides around between metal, punk, ska and even a hard-edged 80s-pop-leaning sound (“Secret 77”). That made this more interesting to me than it would have been otherwise. I also liked little touches like the shouts in “Let Me Help.” I can see how some people would be very into this. But I am not those people.
Is this one of those ones where you had to be there? I like the more punk tracks, like'I Against I', but the more metallic songs are technically accomplished, but I find less compelling. Do I need it a bit rougher edged? Do I want some more intense attitude? Is it just paler in comparison to what I was expecting? I was expecting something wilder.
It was okay but didn't really stand out to me. 0 recognized songs
Generic. Unremarkable. Best track: Re-Ignition
aight
Not good. It just sounded like bad music.
Kind of samey, not super enjoyable.
Not for me. Enjoyed parts of many of the songs but too heavy and crap for my liking.
Punk rock. Skipped around but didn’t hate it. Never heard of it before.
I am not a fan of this iteration of Bad Brains. I've long been a huge fan of their hardcore punk self-titled debut, and while I appreciate the band expanding their musical repertoire and having this more gradually-paced, rock-driven sound, it's just not doing it for me.
Fairly generic punk by numbers. Nothing too interesting.
Articulated noise?
Was traveling whole listening…did not enjoy it much
Nah, fam. // Favs: — Score: Light 2
Straight up wild to start. Hypeee. Like punk metal.
I was originally going to rate this really low, but as I continued to listen it just became better and better. It had some bad moments but for sure some good aswell. A bit uncertain about this rating but I would rate 2.5 / 5 if it was possible.
Nothing special, pretty generic.
Not sure how I feel about this. Really solid guitar playing. Many styles. But it just doesn't match with the songs. The songs themselves don't have a real melody. Lyrically and melodically it's very simple. Not a fan of most of it. Maybe I just don't have enough angst to appreciate it.
pretty good, seemed like a mix of metal, punk and hardcore.
Netter Metal, teilweise recht poppig.
It sounds almost comical.
Metal with a funk edge that passed me by when I was into this sort of thing
This is a different kind of metal. It comes at the genre from a whole new angle, giving low-key vocals and aiming for overall atmosphere rather than riffage. It's a risk I can respect, but not one that pans out super well. It ends up being pretty mundane and somewhat abrasive. And not the cool, challenging abrasive like early Sonic Youth or Swans, but the kind of abrasive that sort of meanders and doesn't do much to enhance the music. Bad Brains tried here and didn't come up with much.
_I Against I_ - the 1001 guide itself writes about how Bad Brains was homophobic and religious, which I didn’t really pick up; sure, there were some songs that were a little religious, but didn’t stand out being that way (and Wikipedia makes no mentions). Whatever! The lead singer’s voice really gets on my nerves.
Well, it was only 31 minutes...
Not very great. Some highlights, but for the most part I did not enjoy this.
Meh
Where is the fucking reggae
Was ok
Very dated and I didn’t really enjoy it.
Nothing special just some normal hard rock really
Fällt mir nicht viel zu ein. Meh? Schlechte 2 Sterne.
I don't really like this
Rubbish
Intro got me pumped up, but the rest was disappointing. Their song "Banned in D.C" from another album would have been very fitting earlier this month :P
pretty wacky, not as good as the other bad brains i've heard, like if faith no more didn't know what they were doing or something
This really isn’t great. We get the worst of both worlds from metal’s predictable sounds and the scratchy production of punk, and then top it off with vocals that are genuinely indecipherable. Bad is an accurate name for this group!
This wasn't good for my brain.
Some critics speak of a more ‘mature sound‘ or a ‘futuristic sound’ describing the D.C.’s cherished Rasta-Punks transition from hardcore to alternative funk and metal. Big label distributor; Warner Bros., under the guise of indie label, SST brought in noted producer, Ron Saint Germain, with a history of making lively smaller acts more commercially accessible and lucrative. Do yourself a favor and listen to Bad Brains blistering debut or some of their scorching live sets and avoid this schizophrenic mess.
if you want to know what American Hardcore on its deathbed was like, look no further. Had to immediately put on ROIR/Self titled afterward to cleanse myself with a real bad brains album that made them iconic. If you’ve never heard bad brains, listen to that instead and skip this one.
Hell nah
Not much in the way of invention and an annoying vocal style make this eminently missable
There's such a terrible noise. I didn't get it at all, and after putting up with it for three tracks, I didn't want to waste any more of my time on it. 1/5
Not my cup of tea. One star…
God, how I hated the vocals
Didn't really enjoy anything about this one.
I'm not sure if the reason I don't like this is that I don't like reggae punk or because I don't like the vocals on the album, but I did not like it much
Nope. This album didn't work for me.
Hardcore punk with reggae and heavy metal influences built from lightning-fast guitars, explosive rhythms, and intensely expressive vocals feels like standing beside a race car engine that's constantly revving into the red—thrilling about once, but exhausting from thefe. The album's technical ability and relentless energy are undeniable, yet for me the constant intensity leaves too little room for contrast or lasting interest.
The sound is an interesting fusion, but I didn’t think the songs were good at all. Maybe just not my thing.
didn't listen
🎧Not at all what I expected Bad Brains to sound like. I do not like this.
No.
Best Track - "I Against I"
No
Awful
No. The most interesting song was ‘Sacred Love’ with the knowledge that the singer recorded the vocals over the phone whilst in prison which actually makes this quite good.
Coming back to rate this a few days after listening and I honestly can’t remember a single thing about it
Really unimaginative song writing, and the vocal delivery is so bad. It really annoyed me how he pronounced his words to try and make them fit the music! The way he says ‘Re-ignition’ was just plain irritating. I bet he makes silly faces when he sings too.
Utter shite. 1/5.
Hate it SO much.
Bad voice for the music type
Sounds like Dan Reed Network of the same era (but not as good), alright for a quick listen but holds very little value over time. Sounds dated and a little uninspired.
they are doing stuff and i don't care
It feels a bit all over the place. The riffs all feel a bit generic, and a bit random. Just felt like a bad impression of Metallica and Van Halen
reason number 1 why you should not let the boys cook unsupervised
Es un punk raro. No me gusto tanto. Parece una mezcla de punk con hard rock.
45
not a fan
at least it was short
i listened to this in the morning and i have already forgotten everything about it. i think i remember not enjoying the vocals. who knows
A very 90s rock album with weird punk and reggae influences. I was not a fan.
Meh
Not for me. 1/5
I love Bad Brains, and their debut album is probably THE 80s US hardcore album that others wanted to be. And the fact they mixed this with reggae tunes added another dimension to their output. Which made this even more disappointing, They seem to have swapped that magnetic energy for overly-polished production by this point, removing most of what made them so good, for me. Right, off to clean my ears out with the first album.
Refused to listen.
NON
Punk, hard rock. Strange music.
wtf was deze
1 Da was em toch ni ze, wth
I would expect nothing more from an album with a stupid name by a band with a stupid name.
"She's Calling You" was my favorite track, probably because it was more alternative and less punk metal-leaning. I have read several reviews where people said they loved the vocalist. Eh...are we listening to the same thing? Sometimes yes, his voice does sound cool and suit the song well but much of the time it's all over the place, screamy-whiny-shouty and just weird. Ok, and the song recorded over the phone while he was in jail – cool story and all if you're into that sort of thing, but I think the overall effect sounds amateurish. I really tried with this one, but the only impression I'm left with is that it's not for me and now I need some Tylenol.
More like No brains, or brain dead. 1.
0 songs added to my favorites. Would avoid listening again.
To be honest, judging by the album art alone, I thought this was a hip-hop album. Then, I hit play. Oh boy. "Intro" had me like, "okay, this sounds interesting. I like it so far." Then track after track, I realized I probably should’ve stopped after the first one. Favorite track: Intro
Also bad
Just awful
0 brain power
Bad. So bad.
p559. 1986. 1 star. Tedious garage band with no tunes and vile lyrics. WTF decided this was essential listening?
Anstrengend
Easiest review yet. It's just crap.
Eh
Not my bag
meh
The biggest issue with it is, it can't make up its mind whether it's hard rock or soft rock and it flips mid song between the two without any attempt to blend them. It's far from a sophisticated fusion, rather cobbled together elements. And another thing - this album is described as a blend of jazz, of funk, or reggae. There is absolutely none of those elements present. Any attempt to characterise it as otherwise is wrong. Most importantly, there are no good songs. Which is something of a problem.
Not sure if I had a headache before listening to this album. I do now though.
No, just no.
Eek. One song here that was surprisingly not terrible, the rest were not a fun time
Unlistenable
this shit sucks. nerds trying to do punk in the year of our lord 1986. Shit wouldn't fly then, or now. Miss me. Go Guardos. I'm still listening to it and spending zero effort on it. and I hate it. what even is this. ok it's growing on me a little. Trying to figure out what this is or what i've heard like it. Lyrics and singing don't match the music. Yeah this sucks.
Not for me
BOOOO
Bad music, too.
Really? Why is this special? Seems pretty pedestrian to me.
There should be an option to give zero or a minus rating; awful; patnful listening
The only thing good about this album was that it ended.
I really don’t like this band. Thank goodness it was only 30 minutes. It was a house of suffering for a while there.
Going into this, I’d never heard of Bad Brains or their album I Against I, but I was intrigued by the talk of their punk roots mixed with funk, soul, and reggae. On paper, that sounds like a bold and exciting combination. In reality, I didn’t hear much of that fusion come through. I gave the album a couple of listens, it’s short and sharp, but I just couldn’t connect with it. The tracks felt quite forgettable, and the sound jumps around in a way that makes it hard to settle into anything. At no point did a song really grab me. Secret 77 was probably the only track that stood out slightly, with a bit of a cinematic, almost James Bond feel to it. Aside from that, nothing really landed. Favourite track: Secret 77 Least favourite tracks: Most of the rest didn’t leave much of an impression Album artwork: Very 80s, not bad, not amazing, just very of its time I’m honestly not sure how this made the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list
The worst combo of punk, hair metal, reggae, and red hot chilli peppers sloppiness
Not their usual standard
Nope! Not a way to start the day. I - say no to this.
Negative
Not my style
This is maybe my 3rd time trying to listen to Bad Brains and boy, do I not like it
Just noise. Ouch.
I'm good. Thanks though..
Der erste Titel war schön - weil sehr kurz. Wurde leider im Rest des Albums nicht mehr erreicht.
Nope
Not familiar with the band … not for me.
From the photo I was expecting some reggae influenced punk but apparently not. Not for me.
Yeah nah, not for me. I can see what they're going for but I don't understand why this album is on this list?? 1.5/5
Found the voice to be a bit too grating even for the genre
Thus is so far removed from what I like about music, I don't know what to say.
0/100 not for me
Well that certainly wasn't what I was expecting. This was weird in a not good way. Some of the guitar was fine but nothing else really was. Vocals get pretty weird and screetchy. 3/10 (1.5/5)
I could appreciate some of the instrumental riffs, but no. I hated the singing
Not really anything for me in this album. It's cool that this band was foundational to hardcore punk and heavy metal while also being Rastafarian and all-black, but unfortunately those genres don't really do it for me.
Absolute rubbish.
Awful. Complete driving. Really struggled to hang on to the end
Not my cup of tea.
Really annoying to listen to. Probably some "notable punk album" again. Not as bad as "Germs" though.
Nah
bad
Struggling to find anything redeemable about it. Vocals are particularly painful and even the standout track is weak.
(sorry)
No thank you
Very weird mumble rock. Didn't like it.
Boring
Oof. Too frenetic for me today.
Dnf
Why?
If Aidan thought it was this bad, I’m not even gonna bother to listen
Jesus
Laut, Gitarrenrock, vergeudete Lebenszeit...
Has all the staples of boring 80's rock, chorus effects and cheap thin Van Halen copy cat lead tones. The first album I was actively annoyed while listening to. I was so close to liking two songs, but they took them in a direction I didn't like.
So bad
Naze
Não é meu estilo
Nope.
👎🏻
If I was into hardcore punk and reggae this would be THE band. But I am just not super into this kind of music and find this hard to enjoy. Appreciate it's place on this list.
What a bad fucking week and then this shit
Intro track was good (no vocals). From there on it goes downhill - irritating vocals. Musically, not bad. Secret 77 is decent. I get why some people would really like this album. For me, it's a no. A lone 1 star
The noisy annoying sounds were anything but nice. 1 of 5
I don’t like hardcore. This made me grind my teeth. Not for me.
Not for me
Not my cup of tea.
I gave it a try, but I'm afraid I remained uninterested in this.
Terrible! Weird music
Bad is right
nope
I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

Do you like Pearl Jam? If your budget doesn't stretch to Pearl Jam, why not try Bad Brains? All the nutritional content of Pearl Jam without the inconvenience or cost? Maple Jar
