Jeg var faktisk ret optimistisk til at starte med - Wall Street Shuffle var ret god og jeg lærte, at J Dilla samplede Worst Band in the World - men FUCK hvor bliver det irriterende i længden!! Get out of my face 10cc!! stor 1'er
Meget eksperimenterende.. Lige præcis den her type musik er virkelig ikke mig..
Garbage
First song was cringe AF. i knew i was fucked from there on out…. Each song sounded like some guy having a manic episode and singing what was going on his head. I hated it dude. I hated it.
I like their AM gold songs… who knew they could also sound so terrible
this album is all over the place and the dudes singing are too smily genuinely awful
Not for me 1/5
Some of these songs sound like they’re a joke band, and some sound like they want to be taken seriously.
Meh
When studio musicians get ‘above their raisin’! How did they last as long as they did?
I did not like this album. Some of the instrumentals were cool but entirely ruined by the vocals/lyrics
Sorry not for me, I know a few people who adore 10cc but that's sub par middle of the road AOR to my ears.
Awful. Why is this on the list??
I don’t know what this work of art wants from me.
This is the wish/temu version of queen
Sounds like a high school bad where all the dude in the band are having a blast, but no one else is. Rough.
I listened to this this yesterday morning and I literally can't remember what it sounded like. It can't be good if it had that little impact.
Boring british music
The “Wall Street shuffle” is a not so subtle indictment of Wall Street style capitalism. Next up is "The Worst Band in the World" which takes a bit of a poke at the music industry. Entirely sure about what the song “Hotel” is about. It sounds like they don’t like Americans and Americans’ tendency to buy the better things. They even want the Yankees to go home. All to a calypso influence “Old Wild Men is a melancholy, mellow ode to men, who apparently reached the end of their lives and, having seen better days are waiting to die. "Clockwork Creep" is frenetic and nonsensical. I have no idea what it’s about. “Silly Love” is a pretty rockin’ tune. And I guess it’s 10 cc attempt at doing a love song. If there was one good word to describe it would be silly... "Somewhere in Hollywood" predates Eagles’ "King of Hollywood" by 5 years while covering the same topic. "Baron Samedi" starts out as an uptempo since but then changes time signature about one minute in and then picks back up a minute later. Back and forth throughout. It’s just an odd song. It might be about a superhero. Or, I might be about a vampire. It’s a head scratcher. "The Sacro-Iliac" pitches a new dance for those who don’t want to. Not surprised that it never caught on. The album closes on a high note “Oh Effendi” as we move to the Middle East and oil based capitalism. 10cc was always very experimental. And making music for art sake is all well and fine but making records is usually a decision to make money as far as the music industry goes. I have no idea how this album ever got made. I can’t imagine a record executive thinking that this was ever going to produce even a single hit
Not that interesting
Borderline unlistenable.
I'd definitely heard of them and heard some of their songs on the radio, but even after listening to this album, they just don't do much for me.
Meandering pap and prattle. I didn't need to listen to this when there's so much better out there that didn't make this list.
Shit music.
Ärsyttävän musikaalimainen, ei edes nokkela
Haluaisin olla paikalla, kun he uskottelevat itselleen, että soittavat parodista hassuttelua, koska se on hyvää, eivätkä siksi, etteivät osaa kirjoittaa mitään parempaa.
Oh my! Definitely from of an era of inappropriate and racial lyrics. Sheet Music???? Should have been titled shite music!! I have no idea what genre these guys actually fall into, as its a mis mash of bits of folk and Country blended into something of a popish type melody. I don't rate 10cc or this album, I can only think of one hit song 10cc ever churned out, I'm not in love, or some crap like that, but it was long and boring.
Not for me
Not the worst album we've had, but in the bottom 50.
Just felt really lightweight and nothing really stood out Expected more
absolutely not
I like 10cc but this album didn’t find its lane for me
Prog-light and very definitely of its time. I never understood the fascination people had with 10cc.
Unbelievable crap
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope on a rope. Starts at nope and circles all the way back to nope. Not Leslie Knope but actual nope. Nope.
It’s an absolute mess! A stamping-together of numerous 70s trends, the resultant album just confuses and irritates. Is it mild glam pop? A Bonzo Dog Doo-Dahesque stab at absurdist comedy? A smooth country-infused rocker? An experimental proggy casting where the songs are suites with multiple movements? Parody? Self-parody? It’s all these things at different points. But does it work? God, no. Over the course of these reviews, I have realised that a sense of humour can elevate an album, but the most painful of spectacles is comedy that doesn’t work. This album continually tries to joke around, presumably claiming inspiration from the Beatles’ kookier stuff, but itself inspires only an embarrassed downward glance from the listener. Also, and it must be said, it’s overtly racist at points. As for the music, very occasionally you hear a snippet of a slightly interesting idea, but nothing is sustained, and all they do is swerve wildly to a completely unconnected style ten seconds later, leaving nothing for the listener to chew upon. This isn’t eclecticism, it’s senselessness. I was prepared to give this 2 stars, but a relisten proved this to be far more annoying and unpleasant than I was crediting it. Beforehand, I wasn’t ill-disposed to 10cc. Their singles were quite fun, and although I’m not persuaded that I’m Not In Love is a masterpiece, I understand why some people adore it. But this record demonstrates that, unless later albums actually show coherence, they only have worth as a singles band (which is not a bad thing to be). Also, there’s a typo on the cover: instead of Sheet Music, it should say Shit Music.
wank. just wank.
Corny. Couldn’t get into it.
Pff, dat was vervelend. Vooral dat nummer met die vogelgeluidjes deed me de das om. Om dan toch maar even in de onderbroekenlol van 10CC te blijven: zaaddodende muziek
Coming right after Cohen was always going to be a challenge but this one doesn't really land for me.
This is just straight up bad. Don't even know what genre of music this is. 2/10.
Not my bag. Creative, yes, but in the same way that some art can be creative yet not entertaining. Too much of a prog rock vibe for me.
Glam Prog? No thanks.
Naff 70s boring rock
This band sounds lost. Inconsistent sounds make it feel like the album is all over the place which in some ways is represented in their humorous lyrics over very serious sounds at times but also very light sounds at times. Could be talented, but they haven’t put it altogether in a way that shows confidence.
There's nothing wrong with this other than it sounds quite of its time. I just can't believe that this can be considered amongst the best albums ever.
A bit of a nothing album for me, expected a bit more.
It got a bit annoying
No
