Liege And Lief

I couldn’t wait for this to end. It’s rambling pagan babble with little notable melody.

seems like just filler these days.

not for me

Only got a few tracks in, didn’t love this one

Dated hippy shite. I can almost smell the flowers in their hair and picture them all sitting cross legged in a circle in some weird log cabin when they recorded this. No no no.

Sorry this one is a dnf for me, but I bet these guys are a riot at the RenFair

This band sucked so Mumford & Sons could blow

I tried. I seriously did. I got each song started and couldn’t hang on to a single one. If I closed my eyes and listened I would swear this was the prequel to Sheryl Crow. I’ve definitely heard worse, but this is gonna be a no for me, dawg.

I learned it pays to read the wiki, the original album is only 8 songs, the rest of the songs on spotify were bonus tracks on the cd reissue. Why does this matter.....I couldn't do it anymore... I needed to stop but didn't want to quit. It was like the 25th mile of a marathon, and I was out of gas. What a relief to learn I was actually 3 songs past the finish line and could turn it off. Phew! Cheesy Renaissance Fair music. Not for me.

I saw the reviews comparing this to Ren Faire music and thought, "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher? Let's go!" To my dismay, this was *not* Ren Faire music as I understood it. I would describe it more like Celtic Honkytonk or perhaps the first of the bardcore. Note that I didn't say best because I think others have improved on this format since. There's usually no chorus, just one lilting vocal melody plus an instrumental interlude, repeated ad nauseum. They make 4-minute songs feel like 12 minutes because there's no hook, nothing familiar to latch on or look forward to. It feels much more akin to poetry with musical breaks than it is music as we know it today. Maybe fine to listen to in a tavern when you're weary from long travels on the the muddy road, but these days more evolved options exist. I'm keeping an open mind, but if this is what all British Folk music is, then it is absolutely, unequivocally not for me.

não me pegou muito, mas me diverti; passou uma vibe meio "angelical" e religiosa que me lembrou até a estética de um mantra... não prestei atenção nas letras btw

Folk is not really my thing and this album didn't turn me around. This tough for me to get through.

Nope

Hippie movement is over!!!

This is the kind of music that tempts me to skip an album. But I didn’t! Listened to the whole Ren faire type thing. I’m happy for the people that like this. I will never understand how this strike got SO popular in the late 1960s. Drugs make you want to go back in time?

Boring, uninspired. The vocalist's voice reminds me of Beto Guedes, which I like a lot, but it's not captivating.

everyday i discover how much more i dislike folk

Not as exciting as Pentangle. The few songs I have tried to listen were repetitive, without the jazzy touch I actually liked in Pentagle. Totally forgettable but not that bad comparing to Dylan.

Hated this - felt like I was at a wedding feast in Sherwood Forest.

Medieval fiddle-dee-di is not for me.

Yeah this is folk. Not the first time either. So I don't think excluding genres from this actually worked. This is really not for me.

A British folk-rock album only a Brit could like. I'm a fan of Dungeon Synth stuff, which feels vaguely relevant here, but maybe I like dungeon synth because nobody sings in dungeon synth and that's the root of my dissatisfaction with this weird-in-a-bad-way album.

I was expecting more folk, but got a bit more rock, which was a bit of a surprise, but this just isn't my thing. The album feels ambitious and well performed and produced. Just not something I will be returning to.

Hippy fireside songs at a medieval tavern.

An hour of my time I'm never getting back

1 star. 1 good song.

Crazy Man Michael? More like Crazy Man Dave cause this drove me crazy. This sucked.

Folk, you can clearly hear that it has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with Bob Dylan. I almost only listen to the fiddle and that is almost an exclusion criterion for me. I was never a big folk fan, with a few exceptions, but that is not my music, absolutely not.

this can folk off, irritating voice and boring melodies

Why are these folk rocks so unappealing? It's boring and that's all I have to say. The sounds are so cliche, the lyrics are so pale, and the harmonies are also just so uninteresting. 2 is the best I can give. The embodiment of BORDOM. How can anyone stand this?

Nope. I couldnt get through this album. Its generic 60s nonsensical shit. 1/5

not my thing

Oh so you invented British folk-rock. Well at least I know who to slap now.

not mid. just bad.

I’m pretty certain at this point that I don’t like folk music. This was an absolute slog for me to get through. Rating: 1

This one made it to my 1001 mediocre albums picked out of a 2nd hand store. To classify this as any sort of “Rock” is blasphemy.

didn't like it.

ok folk album great music but not really a fan of the lead singer

Not for me

This is really not my style of music. We will see how it goes and if I can find any hidden gems I would have never heard because of the genre. I thought it was country but it's listed as folk. Later on in the record it feels like world/chanting at times. Quite far out of my comfort zone.

I usually like this kind of music. But this one didn't land for me.

Not for me

Not my jam. Could not get through it.

I’ve heard Folk music all my life and I really enjoy it but this album was a struggle to get through. Obviously 60s British Folk Rock is different from what we have here in the Appalachians, but still, not much held my interest. Bright spots were Farewell, Farewell and Tam Lin for me, everything else was forgettable.

не

If I were ever to be detained at guantanamo bay this is the album they could use to torture me.

I understand all the misgivings about the content and the lyrics. However, unlike some of the rap that has been shortlisted, at least this album deserves to be on the list. It’s bond a generation I am going to give it a higher star rating because at least it is a seminal album.

folk off you bunch of nonces.

When will i get a good album

Do NOT like her voice. Folk

At first listen: Nope! Tried to hear more... Nope!

Encapsulates everything I hate about folk music. Why can't I choose zero stars.

I no longer beLiege and Lief after love.

and lieve

Trash

Folk rock garbage. Reminded me of that family guy episode where Peter and Lois get super high and make folk music and in their high minds it sounds awesome but to everyone else it’s terrible.

Ren Fayre Jam Band

Not into this at all, but it did blend into the background and wasn't impossible to get through.

This is one convention I won't be attending. I just can't get into this, but I won't bash because it's music. Just not music I enjoy. Hoping this is last time we hear from Fairport. 1

Goodness me. How did this make it to the list?

Nope

Nope

This is like if jefferson airplane wrought all the songs in lord of the rings

Fucking terrible. 1969, folk music, just doesn't get any worse for me. 1/5.

Hot garbage

Not good.

I can Almist hear the medevil garb that she's wearing.

Ну такое, совсем не моё

Eh musica de festival medieval com gordo nerd usando armadura e espada de papelao, falando M'lady e ficando bebado em hidromel

Hippie stuff just does nothing for me.

oh god, it's a double album? no, sounds like something that plays while you're getting a massage, and you wish they'd skip it

Classic
